Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Album released on Spotify today. Much better than I expected. Better than Dark Matters. Can't wait to see them live.

This interview is from last month but hasn't been posted here yet. Baz mentions that JJ and Toby had worked together previously, does anybody know any more about that?

From the Oficial Chart Update: "Punk rock legends The Stranglers are in at Number 3 with Dark Matters, their first album in nine years. The set, their first since the retirement of drummer Jet Black and death of keyboardist Dave Greenfield, is on track to be their highest-charting album in 43 y...

Toby Hounsham - ex-Rialto keyboard player - is mentioned in the "special thanks" section of the CD booklet. Dave's replacement?

What an amazing album...surpassed all my expectations. Louie's done a great job on production and it sounds great. The Last Men on the Moon is the stand out track for me, which I wasn't keen on when they played live. This Song is my least favourite. Probably the best post-Hugh album in my opinion

I don't really like the vocals. The keyboards are the best part of this track.

Same here, can't wait for the album and to hear the new material live.

The song is number 46 in the Official Singles Download chart, higher than the likes of Paul Weller and the Manic Street Preachers. Great achievement for the band.
