GORKY'S ZYGOTIC MYNCI
Sounding like a bizarrely sweet and whimsical cross between progressive rock, psychedelia, and pure pop, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci were one of the most original and distinctive bands to emerge from the vital post-Brit-pop Welsh scene of the mid-'90s. Gorky's music followed unconventional time signatures and structures, as well as instrumentation (boasting everything from droning moog synthesizers to slurring trombones and steel guitars) and melodic patterns. Furthermore, the band's lyrics were rarely about conventional pop/rock subjects, and they frequently sang in Welsh, which made their already odd music sound even more alien to most listeners. Nevertheless, Gorky's developed a strong cult following in Britian, as well as America, ranking behind Super Furry Animals as the most popular band to emerge from the mid-'90s Welsh scene. Ironically, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci formed long before Super Furry Animals. Unlike many Welsh bands of their age, the members of Gorky's did not begin a band after Manic Street Preachers appeared in the early '90s -- they began playing in the mid-'80s, when the band members were barely in their teens.

The Welsh are a strange people at the best of times. Bwyd Time is one of the few albums to have put their peculiarity into a recording. The psychedelic pop/rock fusion that Gorky's Zygotic Mynci created has never been better captured than on this, the band's debut album. With obvious influences from Robert Wyatt, the Kinks, and even the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band, you know you're in for an abnormal affair with Bwyd Time. Even a mere peek at the front cover proves that. With Gorky's, however, abnormality can be made into greatness. Their amazingly original sound is both fun and musically interesting. Bwyd Time succeeds in holding listeners' attention throughout its 50 minutes, while songs such as "The Game of Eyes," "Miss Trudy," and "Bwyd Time" will stay with you long after the album has finished. This release is a rather eccentric album that, while not appealing to the masses for its mystic and at first inaccessible values, will ingratiate the keen listener...(AllMusic)
