UK Number 40s: UNKLE featuring Ian Brown - Reign (2004)

 


UNKLE made their Top 40 debut in 1999 with the record "Be There". It made the Top 10 and featured Ian Brown on vocals. Back then DJ Shadow was a member of UNKLE and was the writer of that record.

In 2003 they were back minus DJ Shadow with a second album "Never, Never Land". Lead single "Eye For An Eye" made number 31 and then came this record which saw them reunited with Ian Brown. There was also a contribution to the record from Ian Browns former Stone Roses band mate Mani.

It failed to reach the success of "Be There" from a chart perspective. They do continue to release music though with James Lavelle the only constant member, but this was it for them in terms of Top 40 hits.
