notion of authenticity in music, Romo's inauthenticity was itself declared pernicious by its opponents. While Erlewine praised Fiddling While Romo Burns he nonetheless complained "...There's nothing but style and artifice here, and at crushing levels ... it's filled with affectation and pretension.". Others were more blunt about this, such as Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys. "I hate Romo" he declared, "it's so plastic!" Discography of core bands Two of the seven core bands from the Melody Maker Romo Special released one studio album each. Six of the seven released at least one single. Melody Maker also released a compilation tape of the scene including a track by the remaining core band. Two more Romo studio albums were recorded - one by a third core band, the other by the lead singer, turned solo artist, of a fourth core band. The latter was fully mastered for release before being rejected by the record label; the former reached the stage of preliminary mixes which the band uploaded posthumously to their official site. The fourth and the remaining three core bands also released sufficient tracks for at least one album each, two of these four spawning enough for multiple albums. This material surfaced either as promotional cassettes at the time or else subsequently as uploads by band members to official posthumous accounts for each band on download sites.
