Out Spaced
''Out Spaced'' is a 1998 B-sides and rarities album by the Super Furry Animals. First editions of the album came in rubber case shaped like a nipple. The first track is notable for containing a sweary sample and still being released as a single; BBC Radio's attempt at censoring the track resulted in the last minute or two of the song being almost one long silence. The last track, "Blerwytirhwng" (Welsh for "Where are You Between?") is also notable in that it contains a more than five-minute-long outro of looped sci-fi noises. According to Gruff Rhys the band "had to painfully omit some songs to compile ''Out Spaced'' as an album in its own right".
