Mark Burgess & the Sons of God - Up on the Hill [Zima Junction 1994] - Pivot (Label)

Track taken from Mark Burgess (The Chameleons (UK)) solo debut album - 1994 Zima Juntion.

A magnificent debut album form the great Mark Burgess ; the album contains mostly acoustic-folk -styled- songs, that were actually demos for furute project that was planned, but that could not be recorded. So, this is the result...a semi acoustic album.

burgess legend

Mark Burgess's demos are about ten times better than most bands' finished product.

George Harrison'esque intro? pretty cool.

@ lifepod2036 - ditto ... and this song is amazing

[lifepod2036]

Yeah, Thanks american media for not offering this nugget of gold. I have never heard this song in my life and I've been a Chameleons UK and Sun and the Moon fan since the 80s. I didn't even know the band Sons of Gods existed until a few years back. I didn't know about the 2002 tour of the Chameleons until I saw the DVD of the concert they did in San Francisco. College radio doesn't reach my house.

Absolutely glorious!  One of my three or four favourite tracks of the 1990s!

One of my favourite tracks of Mark's. Thanks a ton for posting this. We are a small tribe of fans but I would like to think that we are a discerning one!
