I know practically nothing about Charlie Marshall. I think he's the brother of
Christopher Marshall (I don't know much about him either), he was in Harem
Scarem with Christopher and these days he puts out albums through
WMinc. I
was invited along to the launch of Charlie's latest album 'Story Of Us' by
Graham Lee (WMinc) and while I was vaguely curious about Charlie, I must admit
I was particularly curious on whether my new digital camera was any good when
snapping gig photos. In my eagerness to figure out all of the weird and
wonderful controls on the camera, I somehow snapped 210 photos and didn't pay
as much attention to the music as I should have. What I did hear sometimes
reminded me of Not Drowning Waving and at other times was solid but melodic
rock. I love rock with a sense of atmosphere and the opening number certainly
had that. I left the gig a little intrigued by it all so I'm now trying to get
a handle on the album.

I own several Body Electric albums and I reckon they are the best band going around at the moment. The bands arrangements are just brilliant. They mix up strings and guitars just beautifully.
His work is always on high rotation on the CD player at home. If your feeling shit or high i think his music takes you on a ride.
