Comments for Charlatans UK, The Charlatans UK v. The Chemical Brothers

never again will such magic be created (long live rob)

This EP would seems like it would have been sent down by the gods; the greatest of all collaborations, past, present or future. I even had to fight my friend for the only copy I have ever seen in the DC-Maryland-Virginia area. Aside from having a fairly scarce piece of Charlatans memorabelia, I wish I had let my friend have it. It is the Dust Bros at their weakest. The Kings of Breaks manage to maul Toothache into a sappy track of un-Chemical breaks and beats. Tracks 2 & 4 are just as easily forgettable. The only track worth playing every now and again is Nine Acre Dust, a ravey remix of Nine Acre Court that pretty much rocks, but can also become repetitive as the only track worth playing. If you want a cool EP to impress other fans with, buy it. If you want something to listen to, look elsewhere in the Charlatans or Chemicals catalogs-- each on their own, they rock the universe.
