The Peel Sessions are so good. Different energy to the album versions.

[@yellowclouds3722]

Always ever preferred this version of "Second Skin" to that one on the album. So great

[@philippebelligoi960]

Thx, one of my favourite post punk bands. Their sound was unique, sometimes melancholic, sometimes powerful but always great

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

Perfection 10/10.

[@methodicalmysticbutterflyi2669]

My favorite band! 😁🙌🎧🔊

[@clintdavies491]

A Great Band a real big Jewel of Underground ( Remember Yesterday !) The Treal Show Must Go On and thank John Peel ( R-I-P).

Don't Fall (0:02), Nostalgia (3:45), Perfumed Garden (7:10) & Second Skin (11:40)

[@malcnixon8256]

Still gives me chills...

[@thezebrafromheaven7568]

they were well ahead of their time. so many others sounded like this in the late 80s/earley 90s.

4 jakks mistakenly selecting the incorrect thumb icon, will forever be trapped going Up The Down Escalator.

[@FruitierThanThou]

Suspect more critique of the recording than the music....

[@Roger-cx2ox]

Min 15:47 uno de los momentos más grandes y especiales de los 80s.

[@paullockwood7219]

Epic.

[@NumptyGrumble]

Second skin starts at 11:40

[@ericrhodes5174]

This is what their albums should have sounded like. Raw, aggressive and full of passion. Not the same dreary soundscapes on every song.

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

Script of the bridge is a masterpiece and perfect as it is.. Mark Reg and Dave are gentlemen.. and not forgetting John.. though never chatted to John or Reg..

Interpol copied Perfumed Garden for a LOT of their sound! vocally Paul Banks sounds like Mark Burgess here as well..

[@58jimjam]

and they were smart to do it.

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

@@58jimjam getting Dave Fielding's autograph soon..

[@citizenerased000]

Great comment, I always liked Interpol and just discovered The Chameleons. Perfume Garden blows every Interpol song out of the water and is definitely a template

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

@@citizenerased000 but listen to View from a hill THAT REALLY sounds like a future influence upon Interpol!

[@citizenerased000]

​@@thesound-chameleonman3580 The shimmering guitars are unbelievable on that song. Thanks for the great recco! Check out a track called Frittering by Mercury Rev it's one of my faves.
