Even for those of us who do not speak Cymraeg, one can bask in Mwng's rich guitar textures and urgent, breathless songwriting. Deluxe CD edition featuring B-sides, Peel Sessions & a full live show from the period. Review: Rare Welsh Bits - In the notes to the second song, Ymaelodi A'r Ymylon (Joining the Periphery or Banished to the Periphery) Gruff says "It's partly about our experiences of doing taboo moves like singing in English. Its about being banished from a musical scene but it could also be about being banished from a group of friends." So apparently at one point the Furries were pretty hooked into the whole Welsh nationalist scene, or whatever you want to call it. This was either their attempt to reconnect with their hardcore Welsh homies, or a fond farewell to them-a last look back as they head over the hills to further fame and fortune. Pan Ddaw'r Wawr (When Dawn Breaks) is about "the death of rural communities...I suppose its from experience, areas where I grew up...". Another song's title, Gwreiddlau Dwfn is translated as Deep Roots. Sarn Helen is about how lousy the transport is in Wales today, how it was better when the Romans were occupying the place. Y Teimlad (The Feeling) is a cover of a tune by an obscure (to us outside of Wales, anyway) Welsh band called Dathblygu, but they're named-dropped as though everyone's heard of them. That song, incidentally, is one of the CD's high points, a soaring melancholy anthem about love which is so moving, sez Gruff, that he "would rather not tarnish and trivialize it with one of my shady translations!" Somehow the feeling comes through nevertheless. So Welsh culture is kind of a theme here, but actually most of the songs aren't specifically about Wales (although five of the songs aren't translated so who knows?). They're about stuff like good vs. evil (Drygioni/Badness or Bad Drugness). War (Y Gwyneb Lau/Liverface--I'm including the song names just because it's fun typing them crazy Welsh words). Gruff's kindergarden teacher (Dacw Hi/There She Is). Beehives (Nythod Cacwn/Beehives-although they're metaphorical beehives). Etc. (Incidentally, the CD notes don't come with the CD. You can find them, and Welsh and English lyrics for most of the songs, online at [...] click on the album cover on the right, then click on Tracks, then on "geiriau/Lyrics" at top right) Personally, I like the slightly rough, homemade, indie-rock sound. You get the sense that what you're listening to is a homely little labor of love, something the artists did for themselves and their friends. Something from their private collection. It seems very personal and heartfelt. And although it is kinda folky (which is okay by me), several songs rock unashamedly. And its interesting to hear what Welsh sounds like. Doesn't really sound like any other European language I've heard. Maybe just a little like Russian, oddly enough. Review: Thumbs up for the deluxe version. - A truly great album. And I never tire of coming back to it. The bonus material is worth the re-purchase if you are a least a middling fan. ## Images ![Mwng - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aAOxVCqyL.jpg) ![Mwng - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61hyrhQZuKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rare Welsh Bits *by M***Y on September 9, 2004* In the notes to the second song, Ymaelodi A'r Ymylon (Joining the Periphery or Banished to the Periphery) Gruff says "It's partly about our experiences of doing taboo moves like singing in English.

The bonus material is worth the re-purchase if you are a least a middling fan. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Welsh wizardry *by A***S on June 21, 2000* Mwng is Welsh band Super Furry Animals' fourth studio album, but their first solely in their native Welsh language, and it's absolutely brilliant. Musically mature, and lyrically bizzare (as usual). What sets this album apart from the others are the melodies which seem to come in an endless supply. Highlights are Track 6 'Pan ddaw'r wawr' (When dawn breaks) which has what is musically the Super Furry Animals' gene sound. Highlight of the second half is the blinding finale 'Gwreiddiau dwfn, Mawrth oer ar y blaned Neifion', translation too bizzare to mention here. It is an epic of early Neil Young proportions. Buy this CD and get a taste of Welsh culture through the eyes of doped up twenty first century radicals. Long may they run. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/23139153-mwng](https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/23139153-mwng) --- *Product available on Desertcart Israel* *Store origin: IL* *Last updated: 2026-06-29*
