100.0. "Chameleons/Sun and the Moon" by MED::ARTHUR (Once upon a time warp...) Tue Jun 07 1988 19:28

	Chameleons (or Chameleons U.K. as they are known in the colonies)...

	Anyone know/care why they broke up?

	They put out three great albums:

		"Script of the Bridge" ('83??)

		"What Does Anything Mean, Basically?" (?) ('85??)

		and

		"Strange Times" ('86)

	"Strange Times" being the best throughout but great moments
	in other albums too!


	Two of the members have arisen in "The Sun and the Moon" with
	the great single "Peace in Our Time" or something like that.

	Any comments?

    The Sun & the Moon are about to release an album of the same name,
    plus a single from it called `The speed of life'.  Concert dates
    are being booked for June.

100.4Mine - all mine!MED::ARTHUROnce upon a time warp...Tue Jun 14 1988 00:1115
	
	I snarfed up the SUN AND THE MOON album yesterday...

	I like it - "THE SPEED OF LIFE" is definitely single
	material - though not as good as "PEACE..."

	I've only given it one listen and it isn't as good
	as "STRANGE TIMES" but maybe after a few more listens
	I'll have more info...
	
	Incidently, the two guitarist are from MUSIC FOR ABORIGINES.
	This band I've never heard of - but they make one (*&% of 
	a racket!

	Keep it up boys...

100.6A new ReleaseOK4ME::PILOTTEMon Mar 30 1992 17:367
I heard on a local radio station here in Mass. that the Chameleons will release
their third album "Strange Time" on CD.  It was said that it will be a part of a
set to be released this year.

Any word there in the UK??

Thanks, Judy

Word has it here in the US that Mark Burgess, lead singer for the now gone
Chameleons is about to release a solo album, ZIMA JUNCTION.  

The two guitar players from the Chameleons formed the band the REEGS and are
about to release album #2.


100.83rd Album finally on CD???AKO588::PILOTTEFri Apr 16 1993 03:454
    A radio station here in Boston Mass (WFNX) mentionned this evening that
    Strange Times would be out in CD form this summer......fingers crossed!
