Loaded magazine (RIP) named this their single of the 90s – or single of the mag’s lifespan, but you get the point – and it’s easy to see why: ‘One To Another’ is boisterous, scruffy, loud and, crucially, not Oasis.
 
It’s also a bass-booming Chemical Brothers collab, a baggy revival with big beat bells on.  The Charlatans were comfortable in their trademark swagger by now, turning out likeable anthems with every single before the spark slipped tantalisingly away a couple of years later.  I don’t love ‘One To Another’ like I love ‘North Country Boy’ but as its pulse quickens and the octaves rise, I still get a shiver.  Junior was pretty hepped up on it too, withstanding the gross aural assault of the intro in style, rocking and a-reeling before abruptly losing interest.
 
No more rock songs now.  After a massive six weeks revisiting 1996, I plan to get out on Friday, trailing a top three of r’n’b/pop in my wake.
