    Three previously unreleased Ifans tracks feature on this pre-Creation collection, with Chocking On Your Lust suggesting a far more orthodox proposition had he stayed. [Aug 2026, p.99]

    The full 22-track version (31 on digital) is notable mostly for the curio of four ragged, very early songs featuring future actor Rhys Ifans on vocals, with the rest balanced between the worthwhile and the completist. [Apr 2026, p.100]

    No doubt the future Notting Hill star would have made for an exemplary rockstar, but you can already hear his relatively conventional glam-punk growl beginning to chafe against the band’s whimsical harmonies. Ultimately it was to everyone’s benefit that he chose to pursue a different path to fame, allowing Gruff Rhys’s more idiosyncratic talents to blossom. [May 2026, p.42]

    Precreation Percolation is a welcome reminder that Super Furry Animals were one of the most interesting, consistently surprising, and always worth hearing bands of their era.
