Super Furry Animals-Mario Man

Fuzzy Logic is the debut album by the Super Furry Animals. It was listed in Q Magazine's Best British Albums Ever in July 2004, and in the same magazine's Top 10 Britpop Albums Ever in December 1996 and features in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[6] It contains two top 20 hits in "If You Don't Want Me to Destroy You" and "Something 4 the Weekend"; it also contains the singles "God! Show Me Magic" and "Hometown Unicorn". It reached #23 in the UK Albums Chart on release.[7]
The album title comes from a mathematical term which describes terms in an approximate rather than precise way.

In a 2008 interview with Uncut Gruff Rhys described the process of making the album:
" We'd signed a deal and we were sort of blagging a bit ... We'd heard about Rockfield Studios and we wanted to record there because they had jacuzzis and you got three meals a day, all the wrong reasons for going to a studio.[8] "
Although the album was conceived as a reaction to Britpop which the band felt represented a "conservative backwards movement in music" they soon realised that they were in an "old 70's studio making [a] 70's rock album". Former members Rhys Ifans and Dic Ben contributed to the track "Long Gone" by leaving an answerphone message which plays as the song comes to a close.

Fuzzy Logic is often noted for its cover depicting a variety of photos of international drug smuggler Howard Marks. Marks, who is paid tribute to on the song "Hangin' with Howard Marks", visited Rockfield during the making of the album at the band's request "wearing leather trousers and a cloak with a big entourage".[8] As a result, the band later struck up a friendship with Marks, and are referenced in his autobiography Mr Nice.
In 2005, the album was reissued with a second bonus disc containing additional tracks recorded around the same time period as the album.

"struggling in a vortex, with my jacket made of Gore-Tex, it fits wonderfully" is a line that has stuck with me since i first heard this song - every time i pass an outdoor shop i think of it!
