After 3 years of hard work the base Stranglers resulted together the songs this same time in two albums: Rattus norvegicus and No More Heroes. Legendary is here, of course, "Down in the sewer," an almost epic work, almost a "punk opera" in the small; not forgetting the hits "grip"; "Hanging Around" and especially the offensive "Peaches" - there is a defused BBC version - who have not lost their effect today. What you can not say of all things from the end 70s. The now available in a remastered version CD provides a cleaner sound than the previously rather dull, because the original blended for Vinyl Master Tape dubbed directly, appeared issue. Especially finally some important bonus tracks have been added. For me it is amazing how this brilliant band at times of punk could be big: An organ, a mustache, a full beard - greater sin could not make it. Except that most of the pieces are more than 4 minutes ..... This CD is not only contemporary history, but have actually lost none of its freshness. Musically seen. The texts with the intended provocation on current affairs have naturally lost to bite ....
