Reviews
“Life Is Sweet is so good it has just made a car crash in my street”
“Imagine Daydream Believer by The Monkees via The Prodigy's nucleartechno control panel”
View (DJ Naoyaman)
A No. 25 song brought a No. 1 song with it.
Released on 28 August 1995, it reached No. 25 in the UK, sung by Tim Burgess of the Charlatans.345
Noel Gallagher heard it and asked to work with the two. What came of that was "Setting Sun", a UK No. 1 the following year.8
A chart position never tells you who a song reached. I would rather remember this one by where it landed than by its number.
The link with Burgess held. Ten years later, in 2005, he sang for them again on "The Boxer".9
