A head full of ideas

"Britiske The Charlatans havde ikke helt samme gennemslagskraft som Oasis, Blur og Suede i 1990'erne, men de har udgivet hele 13 album, og ingen af dem er i nærheden af at være middelmådige ... Af den aktuelle opsamling, 'A Head Full of Ideas', fremgår det, at bandets sange er ældet med ynde ... Uopslidelig, klassisk sangskrivning".

"The Charlatans used Britpop to reinvent themselves, refining a sound that mixed frontman Tim Burgess's amiably dizzy lyricism witha Hammond-powered sound informed by '60s soul and R&B. Now 13 albums strong, 'A Headful Of Ideas' views the group's legacy from a number of perspectives. The hits (...) have aged nicely, while a disc of live performances offers clues to their longevity. In particular, a '99 take on "Spostron Green" from Reading Festival captures their balance of flower-child whimsy and beefy psychedelic grooving".
