HUGH CORNWELL strikes back !!! But first ....

.... A brief review .... we write the year 1990 - Hugh Cornwell, lead singer and guitarist, and main songwriter of the legendary Stranglers leaving the sinking ship "The Stranglers" after 15 years with countless hits and classics like "Peaches" "No More Hereos", "Something Better Change", "Nice'N'Sleazy", "Nuclear Device", "Golden Brown", "La Folie", "Strange Little Girl", "Midnight Summer Dream", "No Mercy "" Skin Deep, "" Always The Sun "," Big in America "and" 96 Tears ".Why ??? Well the band The Stranglers was somehow creatively at the end, the last album in the original line "10" was anything but lively, trendy or original - rather lackluster and Lau ............... Hugh concluded dash (unfortunately !!!) and went consistently in the solo career with moderate success despite first great solo albums like "Wired" .Even his ex-band members who do not have the Stranglers with new singer further made to the old successes not match.
Crazy after 22 years there is the "new" Stranglers without Hugh still - but Hugh Cornwell makes incessantly new music and without a millimeter from the Stranglers level of ancient times (1977-1986) abzuweichen.Im contrary - sometimes you wish the He would return to his boys which without Him not really in full swing come (despite quite poppy and sometimes palatable albums in the traditional manner with your new singer) - but that's the way once and would as a true The Stranglers fan new (Stranglers) want to hear songs accesses a solo album of Hugh Cornwell as "Totem & Taboo" - here Cornwell proves again schnurpsen his Songwriterqualitäten.Die tracks and crack how to best Stranglers times - okay what might be missing would be best if the brilliant Dave Greenfield Orgellei - otherwise agree the song combined with their power and wit as the golden Stranglerszeiten.Hugh The early experimental phase of wild and Stranglers with their later pop Phase.Amen ....

Power-driven animal fun ...
