Remarkable albums from the past

Underrated British post-punk band THE CHAMELEONS (1981–198, 2000–2003,
2021–present) fronted by founder Mark Burgess released their 3rd LP named
STRANGE TIMES on New Year’s Day of 1986.

AllMusic wrote: “If there was a should-have-been year in the Chameleons’ history, 1986
would clearly be it, and Strange Times demonstrates that on every track, practically in every note. Signed to a huge label, with production help from the Dave Allen/Mark Saunders team who worked on the Cure’s brilliant series of late-’80s records, The Chameleons delivered an album that should have been the step to a more above-board existence on radio and beyond.” Score: 4.5/5 – Full review here.

TUTV says: I still can’t understand why The Chameleons/Mark Burgess‘ highly gripping, captivating and stirring songwriting didn’t touch much more troubled souls around the globe. ‘Strange Times‘ was/is their foremost achievement. A heavy-hearted masterwork.
