Feline

How about adding the bonus tracks available on the CD version? They are: - Savage Beast - Pawsher - Permission - Midnight Summer Dream - European Female (live) - Vladamir and Olga - Aural Sculpture Manifesto All the other Stranglers albums in iTunes are the bonus tune versions. Why not 'Feline'?

This is definitely the eighties!! This CD is awesome and right from the nation of England, or at least it sounds a lot like it. Golden Brown is awesome, but not the best on the album. Khyan's version of Golden Brown is also very good.

of this great group can be confusing to some. I enjoyed them all. This album has been described as Euro synth pop prog, and is the epitomy of what the Stranglers are, or were, consistantly at the front of changes in music, never imitating or giving a crap about what others were doing, and having subtle influences on many more famous musicians, so I have read (and hear in their music). So dark and so cool. One of my favorite Stranglers albums, though I jumped ship when Hugh Cornwall left. Sorry.

This was the album if you were young, thoughtful, and on the prowl for beautiful women in Europe in 1983. Sadly I was not in Europe then. The vibe is smooth and seductive always a little dark like a good snifter of cognac. In '83 I couldn't peel this album off my turntable and I still come back to it now and then. The stranglers had many other recordings but no others seemed as cohesive as Feline.

This, above and beyond the previous two albums ("The Gospel According to the Meninblack" and "LaFolie") is where Stranglers fans started to jump ship or baton down the hatches, depending on the fan. The group, which had initially been much more agressive with their sound ("Rattus Norvevigicus" and "No More Heroes"--the first two albums) really lightened on this seventh studio release. The guitars are accoustic--even the bass. Of note, "Golden Brown" is NOT a track from this album as it was released in England. The U.S. release included the track with the record company's hope that it would catch on in America, as the previous album, "LaFolie", which included "Golden Brown", was not released in the U.S. The group never really had a large audience in the U.S. with the alternative, punk or New Wave circles. However, like in GB the band had a loyal following of odd-balls. Though quite the change, Feline is a fine album from the original Meninblack, aka, The Stranglers.

The album itself is really good but the best one is Golden Brown I personally recommend that.
