Details: Amazon.ca The Charlatans are the sole survivors of the Madchester boom, and Melting Pot commemorates this, a 17 track "Best of" running from 1990 to 1997. It's chronological tracklist let's you follow their development, beginning with the wonderful wah-wah and hammond organ psychedelia of "The Only One I Know" (a shame "Indian Rope" wasn't included, too). Back then you could call The Charlatans endearing: Tim Burgess' vocals were fragile, the guitars chiming in that peculiarly, shambling English indie way. Rather than fading away like their peers, on Melting Pot you hear The Charlatans' sound get stronger and better over the years. It switches up a gear with the Flood-produced, rockier "Weirdo" era and the magnificent Chemical Brothers "Patrol" mix and swells into awesome bluesy, Rolling Stones-style anthems under Steve Hillage's direction in 1994. By the album's end, their confidence is brimming over and, with Byrds-esque guitar, they¹re producing proper kick ass rock & roll. A celebration of growing up in public. --Sarah Champion Product description Brand New
