In the wake of the imploding scene that was 'britpop' still walks tall a band that has captured the greatest moments in musical history in a blend that surpasses all. While Oasis languish behind a wall of sound and still lay claim to The Beatles back catalogue and Blur turn to America for their latest tangent The Charlatans remain focused in their pursuit of the title. Having strolled easily through the last two labels attached to the UK scene, those of 'baggy' and even 'dadrock & britpop' (cheers Noel & PW) The Charlatans in the words of Mark Collins have always managed to 'do something that feels right.' A trip to any discerning record (and I mean vinyl) shop will show you the roots from which The Charlatans vibe is grown. From Bob Dylan to Sly and The Family Stone through the funk of Stax and the subtleties of Folk it is clear that these gems have been ressurected.
