"Holy fucking shit, The Charlatans record is mega,”

my sentiments exactly! if only the nme gave more respect to possibly the hardest working band of the 90's... every new album is a fresh re-invention and should be recognised as on a par with primal scream in terms of longevity, influence & creativity.

Thank You to The Charlatans UK. For "You Cross
My Path", which is damn good. And for making magic
music to live and dance to. Truly better music through
band chemistry.
Thanks from CC. LA, USA .
