Interesting that this is being released on BMG and not Sony Music, as the original album was on Epic.

Also interesting that all the bonus tracks on disc 2 were on the 1 disc British version of the cd.

Great album.

Ho Hum. This was very much my least favourite Stranglers album at the time, and I'm counting all the solo albums. I certainly haven't listened to it all the way through this side of the year 2000.

Did they ever actually finish The Saga Of Vladimir & Olga, by the way? The last one I remember ended with Vladimir en route to (I think) Miami.

Wake me when they do this with 'Rattus' to 'La Folie' (I'd even open one eye for 'Aural Sculpture' to 'Dreamtime').

Interesting! I actually love this album, and consider it their best "mellow" album. I really like the combination of acoustic guitars and the more "robotic" elements like the keyboards and drum sound. I consider Feline to be the last of their classic albums, and they were never this consistent again until the last two albums without Hugh--Giants and Dark Matters.

All IMO, of course!

Would love to see a genuine archival release of their music, with alternative takes and really rare tracks, but I don't think it would sell very well, would it?

This is a really good album.

Always been one of my faves by them.

I’m assuming the other Epic albums will follow.
