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.
