I bought the new Stranglers album, 'Feline', last week, and I'd like to say that it's always great to listen to some new Stranglers music. I was a little wary of this album when I saw a video from it on MTV, but this album is another great Stranglers album. For those of you who don't know the Stranglers, they are one of the few 1977 UK punk bands who are still together in the original form. 'Feline' is just like all of the other Stranglers albums, which is to say, different from all of the other Stranglers albums. This album takes them in the same direction of 'The Gospel According to the Meninblack' except that now Hugh Cornwell is singing the songs instead of talking and yelling. The album contains a lot of flowing, dark music done very well. I recommend it. The Stranglers don't release very many albums in the US, so I missed the last one, 'La Folie'. I didn't even know that this album existed until I got a copy of 'The Collection - 1977 - 1982' which shows all of the UK album covers. I would appreciate any information on how I can get a copy of 'La Folie' (my local record store doesn't get many imports of the type of music I like). Also wanted : A copy of 'Black Album' by the Damned. Must be the UK version with live disc. I can get a copy of the US album any day, but I want the live stuff more than the album.

Always was crazy about the Stranglers' "Black & White" but was somewhat disappointed that I couldn't find another album by them with as much intensity. Particularly the demented bass playing heard on side two of "Black & White" -- the closest I know to it is stuff on Beefheart's "Doc at the Radar station" or "Trout Mask". Anyone know if there're any other Strangler's albums I'd like ? - Michael
