THE CHAMELEONS

This Manchester-based band might just be one of the biggest cult groups in the world. This reputation naturally implies that many labels will keep on rereleasing their work or provide extras. Fortunately, the storm of hype is still going on. Apparently, the small label Blue Apple Music now wants to continue this task, bringing out the double CD “Acoustic Sessions”. To be honest, the fans are somewhat deceived: close examination of the track list reveals that this is actually a re-edit of “This never ending now” and “Strip”. These albums never really reached the fans, probably due to bad marketing, but now they allow you to experience the band in a different way. As the title indicates, all songs have been given an acoustic reinterpretation, taking you to the bare essence of the songs, coming close to what The Church did so well before.
