CHRIS CHAMELEON’S CD
“MADE AVAILABLE” IS NOW AVAILABLE!
Made Available is a taste of
Chris Chameleon's music making passion for the last 17 years and
an insight into the process involved in recording... and now is being
Made Available to you.
Produced by Kevin Leicher at Dark Star
Studios in Johannesburg, this album was intended to explore a new approach
for his next studio project but the final product was so pleasing to
Chris' ear that he decided to make this pre-production album available
to online and at live gigs.
This 15-track album is a collection of
songs that Chris had written over the last 20 years, some of which had
never been recorded before.
The tracks are:
1. Morning is Broken: This song
is a collaboration between Chris Chameleon and Somerfaan. At Nel approached
Chris to write the lyrics to the song and sing it on the recording -
which Chris did 3 days and 60 stitches later, after being attacked in
his home in 2004.
2. Good to be True: This song
was performed by Boo! and originally included on their first album, the
“Banana Flava” live album.
3. Singulai: Written in 2003 and
finally on an album!
4. Rested Defences: This soulful
version features local soul diva Khethi Ntshangase on backing vocals
with a new, as yet unheard chorus.
5. All of Me: Initially called
“Avrocado Pair” which was a happy-go-lucky song performed by Boo!,
it’s updated incarnation is now in a hauntingly honest form. Look
out for the incredible animation video of this song, soon to hit television
and YouTube
6. Changes: Written in 1993 and
rejected by Chris’ then band, Blue Chameleon.
7. Wishbone: A more sparkly
version of “Wishboan” from Boo!’s 2000 album “Naughties.”
8. Days Like This: This
song was inspired by the September 11 attack in New York and written
shortly thereafter while Chris was on tour in the USA.
9. Right in My Wrong Turn:
About 15 years old, this song has never been performed live and had
never been recorded until now.
10. One Day Wonder: This
song was performed back in Blue Chameleon days and was called “Yes
Humphrey.”
11. OOAA: Another attempt at a
hard-to-record classic.
12. Simunye: A live recording
of this song from a gig in North Carolina appeared on the 2002 SAMA
winning “Shooting Star” album.
13. Walking in Flames: Also written
in the USA in 2002 and making it’s album debut.
14. Come: This acoustic version
comes from Levi’s CD 4 album released in 2005.
15. Here Comes The Night: Written
in 1991 and first recorded as a technological remix on Boo!’s “The
3Boo?dists.”
