Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

Whilst even DG 'brought back' elements of the classic Stranglers sound on NC nobody including Dave ventured again near the synths introduced on Raven/MiB. That's the type of thing I'd like to hear on newer stuff. There's the argument for no, 'keep moving forward' (which can be a get out clause for m...

I don't know what makes anyone think a JJ solo album will somehow be better than a new Stranglers one The proof is in the pudding - Jour Parfait was much better than 10 or even Dreamtime. More interesting songwriting (except for Too Precious I suppose) and overall mood and production. Whether Un Jo...

I don't know what makes anyone think a JJ solo album will somehow be better than a new Stranglers one (unless they have an issue with a Baz vocal). JJ's best songs of the day would be on either. Good point about songwriting ThinkTank and very true. A decent musician can copy most things if they are ...

What does the french article actually say about this? I'm hoping that for what will surely be the final album the band can take inspiration from the Raven/MiB era. We can presume the original cembalet from the first three albums would be onboard. Toby can make all the difference here. They have the ...

Sounds like its just the usual 'winter recording' thing doing the rounds then. Maybe a new album confirmation is a bit premature.

Can't say I'm surprised as I never really doubted that they would. I have a feeling that Toby may surprise a few people.

Wasn't that a Magazine album?

That recent Las Vegas sighting is getting my interest at the moment. There are aliens in my back yard!

Awesome. Very close to the original.

:? Firstly a few more from Suite if they ever wanted to start a gig with a cracking Stranglers song that was recorded post Hugh then for me .."Summat Outanowt" comes straight to my mind and top of any setlist.... what a belter to start with... just a cracking song that has literally every...

RIP. Not been a good week for bass players, with Andy Rourke and John Giblin passing too. Indeed. After Algy left The Damned I bought the Tank first album 'Filth Hounds of Hades' some of which I liked. I know Algy had not been well for a few years. Unfortunately all those punks and pop stars are at...
