La Folie - The Stranglers

...and today, while at the beach, I put my iPod to play La Folie and it sound so perfect to my ears! Always liked the album, but today it was a top moment. I must look for other Stranglers stuff apart the one's I have - The Gospel Acording The Men In Black and Aural Sculpture. Any tips?

Actually I never liked La Folie much except for "Golden Brown" (of course.) But the Men in Black is really really weird and worth having. If you're looking for stuff more in the vein of "Golden Brown" get Feline.
Of course there's the classic first four albums and also for that later stuff there's Dreamtime. Dunno how good Aural Sculture is 'cos I don't have it and only heard the song "Skin Deep"...

North Wind Blowing is a cracking song also from that album.

Never bothered with their LP's after Black & White for some reason, but still liked some of their singles. This one has aged rather well...

Yep - I think "Bear Cage" and the insanely catchy "Duchess" have aged the best out of their singles.
As for albums, I'd second "Black & White" and add "The Raven".

Carlos, proper Stranglers song to play at the beach is "Peaches" :)
Still love "Skin Deep", and how in the vid they have the black fiberglass congas and synth set-up.

Spookily I played Dutchess straight after Bear Cage.
Yeah, good single. Had forgottne they'd nicked the intro from 2-4-6-8- Motorway!
