"You wait until your time comes round again "

Back when Factory Records was dominating Manchester, a little band found its way to Statik Records, which had a deal with Virgin, which susbequently cost the band a chance in the independent charts. The Chameleons UK released Script of the Bridge in 1983, which in my opinion is a criminally overlooked album. Listening to it today, you can see it's impact and importance on bands of today like Interpol and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Listen to "View from a Hill" and "Second Skin" to hear the sound of many of today's bands, twenty plus years ago. View from a Hill - The Chameleons UK Second Skin - The Chameleons UK
