The Chameleons - Script of the Bridge -
29-04-2008, 11:32
A wee birdie tells me that the Chamelions' 1983 debut is being re-issued as a 25th anniversary deulxe edition....
 They really were one of the great 'also-rans' of the British indie scene in the 80s. - see also, The Sound, Comsat Angels, The House of Love - I was listening to this yesterday, and my flatmate thought it was the new Editors album. But whilst Editors deal in different shades of grey, the Chamelions utiliste an altogether subtler pallette, using delicate tones and hues to get their point accross, rather than pomp and bombast. Yes, this is big music, but it's also very fragile, and that fragility allows them to say so much more. If you're in any way interested in Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division, The Cure, etc, then I reccomend you check this out when it's released (in May, i think). The cover is still naff, though. |

I currently have the 25th anniversary edition sitting in front of me. Received it from a friend. Only had one listen so far but i quite like the sound of it.

Some of you might be interested to know that it was an Aberdeen based label that brought out the anniversary edition.

Came in the post today! Amazing! First time I've heard this album and first time hearing most of these songs in their original studio versions...."As high as you can go" and "a person isn't safe anywhere these days" have just become my favourite songs, such good versions...sound quality is magic aswell. Especially of the live CD! Highly recommended!!

I've given it some time to absorb this one now and i'm really starting to enjoy it. The only band my band have been compared to and i have agreed with is The Chameleons.
