CD ReviewsSimpatico says it....... Bill Ferry | Holland MI | 05/05/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Ok, so maybe I lived in Britain during the "baggy" era, and didn't wear baggy's. What i DID wear was a permanent grin the first time I heard Indian Rope, the first single by the Charlatans. Since, this band has gone through more chameleon like changes than Boy Georges coif but in them all they have never lost touch with a certain core sound. That core sound being sustained and nurtured on this one, showing a band who is willing to remain true to form while putting their own distinctive mark on everything they touch. This effort captures Tim Burgess at his vocal best, displaying maturity and a willingness to step out of the frame with musical styles that run the gamut of NYC Beatbox, to flat out rock, reggae and some of the finest modern blues available. The arrangements are tight, but not in a "gotta lay down to pull them on" kind of way, but tight in the way that lets the essence of each melody shine through and revel in the execution. The vocals compliment without leading, and the music itself leads you down that sartorial british hedgerow to summer bliss.......in all Simpatico, just in time for the season." YES alexander laurence | Los Angeles, CA | 06/10/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I never really got into the Charlatans back in the day. But I started to see Tim Burgess walking around town and hanging out at gigs. I attended this exclusive gig at Little Radio and they shot a video. They played some new songs and some old songs. I thought "Oh yeah, I heard that stuff. That was these guys?" I am now a fan. "Blackened Blue Eyes" is a massive track. Many songs are the life of Tim Burgess. He has a little about NYC and Los Angeles. I love it all. I look forward to seeing them live again. They are going to play some shows with the Rolling Stones this summer. That will be a great achievement for this band. I watched a collection of their videos recently. That was great. They deserve a second look no doubt." Reggatta de...Burgess Crashsite | Palm Desert, CA USA | 03/08/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "In my opionion, the first track, Blackend Blue Eyes should have been on a James Bond soundtrack. It is HUGE sounding with a backing string section, er so it sounds. NYC is dancy and funky and all around a good time. In short the rest of the album is something entirely different than the first two tracks. Something different but still very good (though not typically Charlatans). It is steeped in 1980's reggaefied new wave/punk of that era (Police, Clash, Specials, Elvis Costello etc.) Some tracks echo roots-rock from that decade as well. A very good "collecton" of music but not as much an "album" as was Up At The Lake. Recommended."
