This has been described as 'atmospheric', and well, it probably is! Whatever, it is one hell of a debut. I don't agree with another reviewer that the musicianship is 'pedestrian'. It's crafted very melodically, and skillfully. As far as the songs, 'Up the down escalator' is one of the lost classics of the 80's, and the entire album is very catchy and listenable. Not a bad song in the bunch. The Chameleons were definitely one of the best 'guitar' bands to come out of England, and this album is must-listening for those who think The Prodigy or Jamirquoi are the best that England had, or has, to offer.
