Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

If you seriously think Monster is better than DM you are deluded but we knew that anyway. Coming from the person who thinks that me and Jim are the same person, this is absolutely priceless. Besides, even the most dedicated post-Hugh Stranglers fan surely must admit that "The Most Beautiful Gi...

Interesting that they feel the need to release a live album (that is mostly made up of MKI tracks) so soon after the release of their first new material in a decade. You'd have to ask yerself why that could be. Because people will buy it and they will earn money! They gotta eat! It’s because Hugh n...

So this Hugh chap - is he the new keyboard player?[emoji16] With regards Hugh’s solo work Guilty, Hi-Fi and Beyond Elysian Fields were excellent albums and he was arguably, pardon the pun, putting the Stranglers in the shade in that period. Well constructed songs with melody and a bit of quirkiness....

Considering after the UK Tour the band were not doing “Full” tours anymore they now have 11 dates in 16 days with the Irish and European dates in 2022

I think it’s a great album. Some standard Stranglers sounds on it but also some modern production. There’s a nice variety of songs, reflective of various stages of the band’s past.

Didn't this used to be a thread about the New keyboard player? Haha, yes! :lol: I'm looking forward to the press photographs once the band finally get around to announcing it. One, because the band will barely resemble anything recognisable as being The Stranglers, and two, in spite of Hounsham's t...

Slightly off topic The Blow Monkeys, who are a guilty pleasure of mine, posted Radio 365 are showing their new album is number one in Brazil. The Chart also shows Dark Matters at 17 and reveals the new band member as Jake Bugg! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211022/e960c15e1fd41c9246b36c877c84fd...

It is nigh on impossible for a band to stay in the overall top 100 which is based largely on streaming. Even some of the supposed big bands of the present day have a short time span. At least the sales chart is a reflection of people actually being prepared to part with their cash or even make an ef...

Dark Matters is 88 on the Album Sales Chart this week, down from 54, 5 weeks on the Chart.

Dark Matters is at 48 on the physical sales charts which comprises vinyl/cd sales and paid for downloads. That’s after three weeks although how much longer it will be remains to be seen. Amazon appear to be out of stock as they are currently saying it is available from 21st October. In the first wee...
