The Charlatans U.K.: Tim Burgess (vocals); Mark Collins (guitar); Rob Collins (Clavinet, Hammond B-3 organ, Wurlitzer, piano, background vocals); Martin Blunt (bass); Jon Brookes (drums). Additional personnel: Dave Charles (percussion); Steve Hillage (programming). Producers: The Charlatans U.K., Dave Charles, Steve Hillage. The Charlatans' star rose quickly and then stalled; they never really fit comfortably into the same mold that gave us the Happy Mondays, The Stone Roses, or The Smiths. Dogged by misfortune, self inflicted and otherwise, they ultimately just didn't possess the cachet of a late '80s 'Manchester band.' However, their eponymously titled fourth album brought them to a hitherto unachieved level of prominence--almost, but not quite, turning them into international stars. The Charlatans are at their most Stones-like here, evoking Primal Scream and other rockier British dance-influenced acts. Highlights include the great "Just When You're Thinkin' Things Over," "Just Lookin'," and "Toothache." Full of great hooks and lyrically persuasive, this album is recommended to anyone with an interest in the best of '90s British pop.

Detailed product description

England s Charlatans U.K. have grown considerKly since they surfaced in 1990 as part of the Manchester dance scene. The band members have become solid songwriters and soulful, bluesy musicians who hint at what the Rolling Stones might sound like today if they hadn t become such pathetic geezers. Unfortunately, the band s self-titled album hasn t generated much excitement at home, and the group hasn t made an impact in the U.S. since its debut single, The Only One I Know. It s a strong effort nonetheless, and a lot more satisfying than contemporaneous outings by kindred spirits the Stone Roses and Primal Scream. --Jim DeRogatis SKU:ADIB0000018BG
