THE CHARLATANS Who We Touch (2010 UK Special Edition 2-CD
album set - 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. Comprising the
12-track CD album featuring the single, 'Love Is Ending', with other
highlights including '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'; plus a Bonus 13-track
CD including early versions, alternate mixes and studio
out-takes)
