The Chameleons - View from a HillHigh quality audio. This is the best song off the album, and certainly one of my all time favourite songs. Script of the Bridge was in my opinion their best (amongst other crackers) with dark dreamy tunes enveloped in chorused guitars and their obsession with delay pedals. It's a crying shame that this band didn't get as much attention that they deserved like their contemporaries such as Joy Division and U2. Both excellent bands, but in my opinion, this band blows them completely out of the water.

The Chameleons UK - Up The Down EscalatorThe Chameleons (called The Chameleons UK on some American releases) were a post-punk band that formed in Middleton, in Greater Manchester, England in 1981 (see 1981 in music). They consisted of singer and bassist Mark Burgess, guitarist Reg Smithies, guitarist Dave Fielding, and drummer John Lever (replacing original drummer Brian Schofield). The core quartet were sometimes augmented live by keyboardists Alistair Lewthwaite and Andy Clegg in the 1980s, and percussionist/vocalist Kwasi Asante during their reunion period (ex-Magazine drummer Martin Jackson also briefly replaced Lever during 1982-83 while the latter was on sabbatical).

The Chameleons - Don't FallThis video is from The Chameleons: Live At The Hacienda Manchester DVD. The first ever DVD to feature the creative intensity and charisma of one of Manchester's most talented bands, The Chameleons. The DVD features the band playing two gigs during their 1980's heyday. The first show is from Manchester's famous Hacienda club. The second show from Manchester's Gallery Club is a must have for any Chameleons fan. The footage was barely remembered by anyone concerned in its production - band included. Why is this so important? Simple, several of the tracks included in the set had hardly been played before or after, let alone recorded, and this footage is probably the only documentation of them. Brought together for the first time on DVD these two rare and important video performances stand as raw testimonies to one of Manchester's most under rated acts, playing to a hometown audience, at the peak of their career. The band re-formed last year, playing to sell-out crowds around the country and, such was the response, entering the studio to record a new album.

The Chameleons UK - Perfume GardenAmazing song from one of my favorite bands. You can shake your hips You can seal your lips I can't make that trip And all life's fears Can invade my ears I can handle it I can laugh with a friend And remember the faces We wore at school Making the madness And solitary sadness A friendly fool I thought of stories They told us long ago Of how the world was a perfume garden I haven't yet learned to tame the creature there And that at least I think is something good. All across the town And across the street You could feel the heat Let me tell you friend They could hardly wait To mark your sheet It was maximum joy For the men they employed To hold you down Well I hope now you know That this isn't the bliss That you thought you found Endless emptiness An endless ringing bell I couldn't show you But I hope to one day Pretty promises to teach the tender child... To welcome madness every Monday Beck and call... It didn't seem to matter at all Beck and call... You told us how to conquer it all Beck and call These children have nothing at all Listening hard For the voice of the child I thought I heard An alarm bell ringing Pulled from my sleep By invisible hands The distant sound of a lady singing...
