THE CHARLATANS Who We Touch (2010 UK 12-track CD album -
Produced by Youth [Paul McCartney, Primal Scream, The Verve] and
recorded at Britannia Row in London [New Order's 'Blue Monday'],
'Who We Touch' must surely rank as their boldest to date radically
broadening, in places, their aesthetic remit. It is, says Burgess,
'a soulful voyage', a
journey through moods uplifting and profound, dark and delirious,
ultimately concluding in blissful optimism.Its sound is inspired by
many heroes, yet always sounds like no-one other than The
Charlatans themselves. Featuring the single, 'Love Is Ending', other
highlights include 'Oh!', a beautiful song of reconciliation, as complex
as its shifting time signatures; 'You Can Swim', an exquisite ooze of
ambience, reminiscent of 'Another Green World'-era Eno. Lurking at
the end of the album are Two Hidden Tracks 'On The
Threshold' & 'Sing The Body Eclectic')
