[kj] OT: New Stranglers Single

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

Hmm, I think that might be my Top 3 too... though Raven and B&W are 
interchangeable. Listening to Dreamtime right now though! All the albums 
had some good moments, even up to 10, but after Hugh left it was just 
unbearable for me... that new guy was awful!  They're way better now, but 
still got the feeling it wasn't quite The Stranglers. And probably never 
will be again.
