Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

For those complaining about the lack of longevity from modern rock bands, we point you to The Charlatans. Sixteen years and nine studio albums into their career, Simpatico finds these Northwich baggy veterans not quite at the top of their game, but endeavouring to drag their groove-led Hammond rock sound into intriguing new territories. Most interesting is an apparent influence of dub reggae on the traditional Charlatans sound, an influence that crops up on the coolly cynical "For Your Entertainment" and again on "City Of The Dead", a ska-tinged harmonica lament accompanied by haunted backing vocals that harks back to the urban decay of The Specials’ "Ghost Town". Less successful is "NYC (There’s No Need To Stop)"--an apparent stab at the voguish Big Apple punk-disco as practised by LCD Soundsystem, but one that suffers from clumsy execution, and isn’t helped along by frontman Tim Burgess’ rather clichéd lyrics: "Underground counterculture/Eat you up like a hungry vulture". Newcomers will find The Charlatans’ back catalogue a more rewarding place to start, but fans will be delighted there’s more to Simpatico than simple organ-riffing retread.--Louis Pattison


CD Description

'Simpatico' is the ninth studio album from Mancunian indie legends The Charlatans, and is their first album for Sanctuary records. One of the great British bands of the past two decades, this album marks yet another chapter in the band's remarkable career, and listeners will be pleased to find thatthe band have refused to rest on their laurels, pushing theenvelope once again and experimenting with their trademark sound without losing their core appeal. Includes the single 'Blackened Blue Eyes'.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's proper Bo I tell thee, 22 Mar 2006
By A Customer
The first two tracks are the charlatans as we know them and at their best. From then on it's all change as the 'tans add reggae to their repetoire of styles. You'll either love it or laugh at it, i loved it more than my own mother. Is there no end to these boys talents? It might take a few listens to get used to but it'll be worth it. It's truely unique and truely charlatans. Get it bought.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simpatico the best, 29 April 2006
This is very much a classic charlatans album,gels alot better than "up at the lake" with a feast of top tunes e.g "blackened blue eyes","muddy ground","road to paradise",(my fav)"the architect"and in my veiw the next single"dead mans eyes"
I have not stopped playing this album since i bought it and it stands up with anything they've done before.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simpatico, 24 April 2006
By Pd Baker - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Charlatans have always had great music collections and this really shows on the new album. If previous records showed a love of Dylan, Curtis Mayfield and the 60s nuggets collection then this is a homage to mid-70s Stones, Trojan records and the Specials. In typical style there are some great singles on the record with NYC (there's no need to stop) surely the next on the list.
The Charlatans keep fans interested by changing styles but retaining their great hammond driven sound. This is not their best record, but it is worthy of being amongst them.
