Tasty brew - By: Pieter, 06 Dec 2002
Here 60s psychedelia returned with a vengeance in the early 90s, combined with the manic rhythms of dancefloor grooving. A times, the sound resembles that of Pink Floyd, as on Opportunity where the persistent drum & Rob Collins' groovy organ build to a cresendo overlapped by harsh electric guitar riffs. Then there's Then, an electronic cornucopia with a raving rhythm. Best of alll is Believe You Me, a glide-and-fly-with-me rhythm that showcases frontman Tim Burgess' unique, tranquil & soothing vocals. Some Friendly follows the rave-on trend of the early nineties but brims with originality.
a CLASSIC album... - By: , 27 Jan 2000
The Charlatans exploded into the UK music scene near the death throes of the "baggy" scene with this excellent debut album. Although not everybody's cup of tea this album contains the classic "The Only One I Know" as well as the fantastic "Then" & "Sproston Green". The dark & addictive bass line of "Flower" is yet another excellent track, along with the strange Hammond influenced tracks of "polar bear", "Believe you me" & the racier "White shirt". Worth buying for the classics alone, you may also find these "baggy" tracks equallly enjoyable.
