Stranglers ORIG OZ LP La folie EX '81 Liberty UAC5101 Post Punk New wave
Original OZ LP released in 1981 on United Artist Records. Cat: UAC5101. Comes with foldout lyrci insert which has some light age spots and is in Excelelnt condition.
La Folie is a welcome album in the Stranglers' oeuvre, mainly a collection of tight, punchy songs that often suggest the forthright approach of American new wave bands. With one exception, the songs are shorter and more pointed, harking back to the comparative conciseness of some of the tunes on the band's first two albums, Rattus Norvegicus and No More Heroes, though acidic lyrics still predominate. "Non-Stop" is a typical example, featuring a half-spoken vocal that suggests Lou Reed, a Cars-influenced organ sound, and a bouncy, dance-derived drum beat; this particular song is atypical, however, because it employs a blues-oriented progression. An interesting excursion is encountered in the song "Golden Brown," a subdued, jazz-influenced number with purring vocals, a coolly executed synthesizer/harpsichord backing texture, and a periodically stumbling beat. Only the plushly understated title track suggests the sprawl typical of the group's immediately preceding releases.
Tracks : Non stop/ Everybody loves you when you're dead/ Tramp/ Let me introduce you to the family/ Ain't nothin' to it/ The man they love to hate/ Pin up/ It only takes two to tango/ Golden brown/ How to find true love and happiness in the present day/ la folie.
