Trojan Taps Super Furry Animal

Following in the footsteps of another famed U.K. rocker and reggae lover, Super Furry Animals bassist Guto Pryce has culled his preferred reggae tracks from Trojan Records’ vast catalogue for Furry Selections, a compilation celebrating the 40th anniversary of the seminal label due June 4, NME.com reports. The 16-track album will feature tunes from genre giants like Bob Marley & the Wailers, Lee “Scratch” Perry, and Horace Andy. “Jamaican music looks forward, dub is ageless because it sounds like nothing else,” said Pryce. “The music that came from Jamaica in the late 60’s and early 70’s is some of the best I’ve ever heard, from anywhere in the world. You can’t believe how lucky I feel to plough through Trojan’s huge catalogue and choose my favourite [sic] tracks.”
