Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Thanks for the announcement - goodbye and good luck.

We need to stop feeding the Troll he thrives on his negative purile little comments. Lt Kudu. I was asked a question and I answered it, Kudu. (Also, it's "puerile" and I'm very unsure as to whether you know what the word means. Or what a "troll" is, for that matter. "Negati...

I reckon they're gonna pull out another one before the curtain closes. It seems a lot of effort has been put into getting JJ & Baz home studios.

Maybe? I'm not sure? Will have to wait and see. Lt Kudu.

Yeah, it's an excellent record. Every time I listen to it, I'm always amazed...

So i gather by what you have said that Hugh's band is the same, the only thing that differs is that its not called The Stranglers There's a big difference between Hugh Cornwell playing live as "Hugh Cornwell" (when he is) and JJ Burnel & Friends playing live as "The Stranglers&qu...

Yes, hooverdam wasn't poor production it was an intended style. I'm one of the few who really like it Beat of my heart is one if my favourite stranger/hugh tracks. I have a lot of time for "Beat of My Heart" ... it's one of those tracks where the melody feels like it's always existed, jus...
