Cover art for Alternate Route To Vulcan Street lyrics by Super Furry Animals

"The title is an actual road sign, right near the Canadian border outside Detroit. We'd taken a wrong turning in the van. It's quite a striking sign to be confronted with. It has no Trekkie connotations at all: it's very much of this earth. The music was written by Cian and Bunf on samplers late at night, and the rest of us played or sung over it. I think its one of the best sounding pieces on the album. It's a song about impending deluge – it could be applied to global warming." -Gruff Rhys
