Album Description
Available in:
Script of the Bridge is the debut studio album by English rock band the Chameleons. It was released on 8 August 1983 by record label Statik.
Three singles were released from the album: "Up the Down Escalator", "As High as You Can Go" and "A Person Isn't Safe Anywhere These Days".
A sample of dialogue from the 1946 film Two Sisters from Boston was used as the introduction to the album's first track, "Don't Fall". According to the Chameleons' official website, " had a mic set up to a television and they recorded random bits, presumably for use in some songs".
Music and lyrics
Andrew Welsh of Daily Record commented that the album is "characterised by subtly psychedelic Cure-like guitars and militaristic drum patterns reminiscent of Joy Division".
The album has also been described as gothic rock. However, frontman Mark Burgess said that "goth didn't even exist" when the album was released, describing the band as "definitely post-punk." He noted how guitarist Dave Fielding was a fan of Joni Mitchell and Mike Oldfield, while drummer John Lever favored Peter Gabriel and Genesis.
Three official singles and one promo single were released to promote the album. "Up the Down Escalator" was released as the album's first single in the UK, Germany and Spain on 1 January 1983 by the band's record label Statik. The band's US label, MCA Records, also issued it as a promotional single.
Statik issued "Don't Fall" as a promo-only single in France on 1 January 1983.
The album's second official UK single (also issued by Statik in Spain and Portugal) was "As High as You Can Go", released on 1 February. The third and final official single was "A Person Isn't Safe Anywhere These Days", released by Statik on 1 June in the UK and Portugal.
Script of the Bridge was released 8 August 1983 by record label Statik. The truncated US release on MCA Records, issued under the band name Chameleons U.K, omitted "Here Today", "Less Than Human", "Paper Tigers" and "View from a Hill".
The album was later released as a limited edition picture disc by Statik Records in 1985.
It was re-engineered and re-released in 2012 by Blue Apple Music.
