0:01:28 > 0:01:30- They'd had enormous success...

0:03:05 > 0:03:10- These bands were creating music but - would never be on Top of the Pops.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- They were really good bands.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- # I feel like a chess piece #
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- It was a great film - and a true portrayal of the age.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- It showed that there was - more to Wales...
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- ..than just the bands - labelled as Cool Cymru.
0:03:29 > 0:03:35- Over in the USA, the home of John - Cale and The Velvet Underground...
0:03:35 > 0:03:40- ..the confident Welsh planned to - make their mark on the Big Apple.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Campari, not cawl, - Bacardi, not laverbread.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- A party, not a prayer meeting.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- This was Stifyn Parri launching - a branch of SWS in New York.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- We were going on holiday - to New York...

0:04:15 > 0:04:20- First there was King Kong, then - Godzilla, now there's SWS New York!

0:04:28 > 0:04:33- You could feel the buzz, - the Zeitgeist, everyone was there.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34- We have no age limit.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Stifyn led the way - and explained the rules of SWS.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- People of all ages and backgrounds - are welcome!

0:05:23 > 0:05:26- And Sir Anthony - and shout in Welsh to Rhys Ifans.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35- I'm in chapel in the morning...
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- ..and help with the Sunday School - in the afternoon.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Set in the South Wales valleys...
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- ..it's a romance between - a local girl and a Jewish boy.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- It was nominated - for Best Foreign Language Film.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00- The stars were Nia Roberts...
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- ..and Ioan Gruffudd.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- It's high time that we got the - chance to showcase our talents...
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- ..on the international stage.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- The film might not - have won an Oscar...
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- ..but one Welshman felt - that he had won the jackpot.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- I have a few hours before I get back - to work in the morning in Mexico.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Can I come with you?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27- Can I come with you?- - Yes!
0:06:27 > 0:06:28- Goodbye.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29- Goodbye.- - Right, I'm off!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- # Want some whisky in your water? #
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- He was world-famous and to some, - the coolest Welshman of all time.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- He hadn't had a hit for a decade - but things were about to change.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- # Mama told me not to come #
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Tom Jones recorded Reload.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- # Mama told me not to come #
0:06:58 > 0:06:59- Everyone loved it.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Cerys sang with Tom Jones.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Stereophonics sang - Mama Told Me Not to Come.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Reload was a huge album.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- It had come full circle.
0:07:16 > 0:07:22- Tom from 1960s Treforest became - a star but wasn't so cool anymore.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- But then these new bands said...
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- .."No, you're still cool, - you are Tom Jones.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- "You can do what you want, and, - of course, we'll sing with you."
0:07:32 > 0:07:37- # That ain't the way to have fun, - son - ain't the way to have fun #
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- After the successful albums, Fuzzy - Logic, Radiator and Guerrilla...
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- ..Super Furry Animals - had built up quite a following.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56- # We had some sunny intervals #
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- They had stayed loyal - to Creation Records...
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- ..but when it folded, - the Furries saw an opportunity.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- They created that momentum - over three albums...
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- ..but before joining Sony, they - released one on their own label.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Instead of an expensive place - in England...
0:08:15 > 0:08:20- ..they went to Anglesey, to the Ofn - Studios, Rhosneigr and Gorwel Owen.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- They were really simple songs...
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- ..that were done really quickly - at Gorwel's place.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- It took us ten days - to record that album.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- You can spend 1M recording an album - but if you don't have good songs...
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- ..it's going to sound crap - no matter how much it costs.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- You can't put a price - on a good song.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- # The feeling #
0:08:48 > 0:08:54- Some of the songs, like Y Teimlad - and Dacw Hi, were familiar ones.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- There's an ancient feel to it.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- It sounds like a mixture - of the sixties, seventies...
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- ..eighties and nineties.
0:09:05 > 0:09:11- It reached No.11 in the charts and - was recorded like a live session.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16- Mwng was groundbreaking - because it was entirely in Welsh.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- They took those Welsh songs - across the globe.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Welcome back to the show, - from Wales, Super Furry Animals.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- # They say we're peripheral
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- # Spineless and feeble, - roughneck and alien
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- # It's so cool - in the eye of the fountain
0:09:35 > 0:09:40- # But the periphery - sustains all the nettles #
0:09:40 > 0:09:45- Welsh was part and parcel - of every day life for the Furries.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- This was such a natural step - to take.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53- We made the record because - we had a collection of Welsh songs.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- We didn't make a Welsh album...
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- ..to make up for the fact - that we'd made three English ones.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- A lot of important Welsh music - had already been written...
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- ..but no-one knew about it.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- However, after Mwng, - people could go back and listen...
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- ..to the stuff that influenced - the Super Furries.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- Mwng is amongst people's favourite - albums, maybe even their favourite.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- That's despite not understanding - what the Furries are singing about.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Mwng was a good way - of silencing their critics.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- The people - who had called them traitors.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43- Mwng was a strong declaration of a - confidence in the Welsh language...
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- ..and in the band itself.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52- It really shows how important - this album really was.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57- What the Furries did - is something to be treasured.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- Thank you very much, - Super Furry Animals.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Joining the Periphery.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- As one band enjoyed more success...
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- ..another one's future - was hanging in the balance.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12- .

0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- In February 2001, to mark their - reappearance on the live scene...
0:11:22 > 0:11:27- ..the Manics went to the land of - cigars, communism and Castro - Cuba.
0:11:27 > 0:11:33- The controversial gig was the first - of its kind by a major Western band.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38- Some of the things that the Manics - achieved were truly mind-blowing.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Which other band - would have played in Cuba?
0:11:41 > 0:11:46- Fidel Castro was backstage - saying their music transcended war.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- They were more likely to shake - his hand than some world leaders.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- They understand how to create - those historic events.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- Events that excite - and make people think.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- We're a band that's taken chances - with our career.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- People thought it was folly - to go to Cuba and meet Castro.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- I remember seeing them on TV - when they were over there.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15- It wasn't really glitzy - but it was a bit showbizzy for them.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- Someone had to do it, so why not - be the first band to play Cuba.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- It was right to go to Cuba.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33- It corresponded with their beliefs - when they started out.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38- Their achievements came about - through vision and determination.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- # If you tolerate this
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- # Then your children will be next #
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- Catatonia was another band - with a strong vision.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- After huge success, - two No.1 selling albums...
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- ..and top ten singles - like Road Rage...
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- ..in 2000, Catatonia - were nowhere to be seen.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- # Losing your mind #
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Tours to the USA were cancelled...
0:13:07 > 0:13:12- ..and there were reports of health - problems for Cerys Matthews.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- I went a bit mad - after all the success!
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- # On common ground - we'll build our castle walls #
0:13:22 > 0:13:28- By the start of 2001, the group - had recorded their fourth album.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33- Paper Scissors Stone was recorded - at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38- They played a few gigs during that - summer but things weren't right.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- That's where we went wrong - - we didn't record it here.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- The vibe had gone.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50- We did our best work in this room - at the Monnow Valley Studios.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52- But then we...
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- We somehow messed around - with the formula.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Yes, there was...
0:13:59 > 0:14:04- Something had been lost, that's all - it was, something had been lost.
0:14:04 > 0:14:10- I remember seeing Cerys at the - launch of Paper Scissors Stone.
0:14:10 > 0:14:16- She didn't look like a person - who was enjoying the life.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- I wasn't happy.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24- I wasn't getting the buzz - I used to get out of it.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Our time had come to an end. - That's all it was.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- At the time, we fought against it.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- If we could get the album out, - then everything would work out.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- I sort of knew - at the back of my mind...
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- ..that the game was over.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- The end still came as a bit - of a shock for the band members.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- In the way these things work, - I didn't know we had broken up!
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- A Western Mail reporter - called me for my reaction...
0:14:56 > 0:15:01- ..to Warner Bros' press release - stating that Catatonia had split.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- I didn't know we'd broken up!
0:15:06 > 0:15:07- And that was that!
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Thank you very much for coming - and God bless you all.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- As Catatonia split up, - the Cool Cymru hype was also over.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21- During these years, it wasn't only - Wales' image that had changed.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- The technological world - was also developing quickly.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31- I remember that the Internet and - Information Superhighway existed.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37- But it was in no way a part - of anyone's day-to-day life.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Twenty years ago, - there was no Internet.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- We could play in TJ's and - sell it out and we did to 300 kids.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Nobody knew further than Cardiff.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- You might know - if you lived in Cardiff...
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- ..but you wouldn't know necessarily - in Swansea or London.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- You couldn't do that today - because of social media.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- The technology shaped - a thriving creative industry.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- Film, design and the transformation - of the way music was produced.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- The days of recording in a studio - for six months were long gone.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22- There was a technological explosion - at the end of the nineties.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27- The way of making records changed - very quickly and is still changing.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- You can literally - make a record on your phone.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36- People would splice tapes and hope - it would be in the right place.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- It took ages and now you can - do it in five seconds - done!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- The music world has changed.
0:16:44 > 0:16:50- The way we listen to - and discover music has also changed.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Despite the huge changes...
0:16:57 > 0:17:02- ..some places remain familiar - and are a reminder of the past.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08- This is the new home of Spillers in - Cardiff. It used to be on the Hayes.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- Back in the nineties, - they would sell CDs...
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- ..and they still sell CDs - by bands from Wales.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- It's the oldest in the world.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- You will recognize the t-shirts, - mugs and baby grows.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- I saw Robbie Williams here - at the end of the nineties.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29- He'd just left Take That.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- They sold him a copy of Fuzzy Logic - by Super Furry Animals.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- People took his photo - as he left the shop.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Together with Clwb Ifor Bach in - Cardiff, this is an important place.
