I always got the impression Ally is slowed on purpose. There's that deliberate slow build up with the lighthouse effect then Hugh trying to be the Shadows with John Ellis.

Re: Your fav album of the moment....
I'm revisiting their back catalogue. I quite like the vibe on "First Band On The Moon" very 60s/Summer-esque. I'm starting to file them next to Cud and Boo Radleys (i.e a band I hated in the 90s but possibly as I've grown older I've come to respect). Jim My album of the moment is The Cardi...

Re: Would you see The Stranglers without JJ?
