The Stranglers are still at it...

Their new cd, "Suite XVI" is out now. On Capitol records.

They are down to a foursome now.

Still have that old Doors kind of sound, but not really. Basic rock stuff with the twist that only the Stranglers can do...

I know most of you cats here have zero Stranglers in your collections, but you ought to give 'em a listen sometime.

Maybe, if you beg me, I'll do a Stranglers komp and make converts out of all of you.

Regards,

Dave

Not this cat. I have Black & White and Feline. Despite my general lack of enchantment with prog, I have been known to hum "Golden Brown" from time to time.

I was just thinking of them today as I played FELINE, I would really love to see them (never have) if there were to tour the US...

ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME....

LOL, The Stranglers and Madness are playing in the UK tomorrow, there is also a nice little history on each band here:

I saw them back in like 1983 or 1984 touring the Raven album, I think. Very, very punky back then.

I think they have a bunch of releases that are excellent. Sorely overlooked by most...

Not this cat; Rattus Norvegicus, No More Heroes, Feline and Aural Sculpture all still get playing time chez moi. Feline is probably my favorite over-all. And thank you Rae for getting Golden Brown stuck in my head this morning.

Feline is my fave too..
