From Wikipedia:"The Chameleons (called The Chameleons UK on some American releases) were a dream pop/post-punk band that formed in Middleton, in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England in 1981 (see 1981 in music). They consisted of singer and bassist Mark Burgess, guitarist Reg Smithies, guitarist Dave Fielding, drummer John Lever as well as keyboardists Alistair Lewthwaite and Andy Clegg. Their body of work is still critically acclaimed within the music press and influenced bands as diverse as The Smiths, Protokoll, The Comsat Angels, Puressence, Interpol, Editors.[1] Through Mark Burgess' penetrating vocals and dark and ironic lyrics, their songs often dealt with personal themes of childlike innocence and a reverence for nostalgia. Musically, perhaps most notable in their work was the band's innovative and distinctive use of dual guitar melodies, courtesy of Reg Smithies and Dave Fielding, as opposed to the traditional rhythm-and-lead guitarist format prevalent in rock music even to this day. These arrangements were often characterized by the use of delay and choral effects. The Chameleons' unique sound is quite often compared to U2's The Edge."

one of my old favorites, learned to love it when I was an exchange student in ste-therese quebec in 87-88. Thanks to Eric Gagnon.

I remember reading this article written by a "music critic" saying The Chameleons were as original as a bottle of Coke and calling them cliche'. what a twat

From what I understand there was a lot of lawyering that went on after the break up that made the albums difficult to come by. A bunch of poor-quality live recordings didn't help the cause (tripping dogs et al). I had all the studio albums but my friends couldn't get them to save their life.

interesting. It seems there are a number of Chameleons fans in the L.A. area I'm certainly one! "Scipt of the Bridge" is just fantastic and I turn on as many people as I can. It's on of my most prized albums.

I was looking up a song from the film Real Genius, a song by The Comsat Angels. I got into them and then learned on wikipedia that they were influenced by The Chameleons. I bought the first two albums of The Chameleons in July of this year (25 years after the 1st album was made) and I have been playing them every day in my car. I don't know why I never heard of them in Los Angeles but they are timeless. Wish they'd get back together and play in LA.

Burgess wasn't an awesome singer, but what made him great was his timing and great vocal hooks

Amen brother. One of the very best bands EVER.
