On millennium night they played a very well attended gig at the school hall in Ysgol y Preseli, Crymych, the same hall that they had played as a young new wave band in the early 80s - the only thing missing was the pogo! During that year the band played at several venues in Wales and in 2001 one of their bigger gigs was at the National Eisteddfod in St. Davids, there was also a "Fflach is 21" night organised by Radio Cymru during 2001. Fflach and Ail Symudiad are very grateful for their support over the years. It was shortly after this that A.S. had a surge of interest in their vinyl recordings from overseas and especially from collectors in Japan, but also there was interest in Europe and from Holland in particular. The records included the singles Geiriau, Lleisiau o'r Gorffennol, Edrych Trwy y Camerau and the LP Sefyll ar y Sgwâr and a special six track EP was produced in Holland. By 2002 Richard's 16 year old son Dafydd had joined on drums and his first gig with the band was in the Feathers Hotel in Aberaeron with Meic Stevens. During this year Ail Symudiad's first CD appeared as there had been demand for a collection of their early songs. Eighteen tracks were put on Yr Oes Ail (The Golden Age). Ail Symudiad's friend and designer of the band's early singles Malcolm Gwyon did the cover montage, with Jack Jackson designing the sleeve. The CD was well received in Wales and a fair number were sold to Japan. The CD was played outside Wales on radio stations such as South East Radio in Ireland and also on radio in France.
In 2003 Ail Symudiad played at the Emlyn Arms, Newcastle Emlyn at the Cnapan Festival and this was the last time they played live. In 2006 the second collection of songs were released on a CD called Pippo ar Baradwys (Peeping at Paradise) with a beautiful photograph of Mwnt by Rhodri Davies on the front. Among the songs were Llwybr Gwyrdd (The Green Path), Trip i Llandoch (Trip to Llandoch), Gormod o Frains (Too Much Brains), Na Fiw sy gyda Granville (What a View Granville's Got), Diwrnod yn Derry (A Day in Derry) which is a tribute to the Undertones, Arwyr Addfwyn (Gentle Heroes) and Meddwl Mawr (Big Minds). The CDs are still proving popular and the third CD Anifeiliaid ac Eraill (Animals and Others) is out, so the story goes on....
Third collection of songs from Ail Symudiad, which also includes three new songs - Y Môr a Cilgerran, Y Dewin and Gnasher. The other tracks were recorded in the eighties and nineties. Bwyta'n Broffesiynol, Analysis ar Unwaith, Cymry am Ddiwrnod (fersiwn fer), Ffarwel Bwci Bo, Nos Lun o Flaen y Llun and Anifeilaid are from the LP 'Sefyll ar y Sgwâr and the rest are from the cassette albums Rhy Fyr i Fod yn Joci and Ddy Mwfi and the cassette EP Dawnsio Hyd yr Oriau Mân and singles in the 80s. This collection follows the other CDs Yr Oes Ail and Pippo ar Baradwys, and they are still the best band ever from Tenby Road, Cardigan!
