Super Furry Animals debut unreleased demo version of "The International Language Of Screaming"
Super Furry Animals have unveiled a previously unreleased demo version of their Radiator hit "The International Language Of Screaming".
The pared-back version of "The International Language Of Screaming" is part of the upcoming 20th anniversary edition of 1997 LP Radiator. It was recorded at Big Noise in Cardiff in December 1996, and sounds markedly different from the chart-bothering original, with buzzing frets and a dawdly elegance - gone are the screwy synth tangents, and in are semi-folksy Americana-isms.
This new remastered edit of Radiator follows last year's impressive re-release of debut LP Fuzzy Logic. It's available as a 2xLP set, double CD package, or via digital download, with a rarities compilation titled Clarity Just Confuses Me.
"For three, contented months we lived in a house in constant earshot of military aircraft, to make Radiator the album that it was," the band say in a statement. "The original album sounded great when we emerged from our exile on Anglesey, and still does, but technology moves with the times and now we can hear it in higher-resolution, as nature intended. We’ve forgotten as much as we ever knew, so the rarities, demos, and B-sides on the second disc are as much a surprise to us as they are to you."
