CD: Dr John Cooper Clarke and Hugh Cornwell - This Time It's Personal

20 Jun 2016 Review: Euroman Cometh, The Telegraph

Posted on June 20, 2016 by Rancid RatFebruary 8, 2017

Let's not forget all that Europe has done to improve British men

telegraph.co.uk

"In 1979 I bought a pretty awful album called Euroman Cometh, an attempt by The Stranglers’ Franco-English (or is that Anglo-French?) bassist Jean-Jacques Burnel to go solo. Songs like ‘Do the European’, ‘Eurospeed’ and ‘Euromess’ didn’t work for me and I don’t think they worked for Burnel either. Since then he’s stuck to bass-playing, karate and swearing at people."

On Second Thought… Nosferatu by Hugh Cornwell & Robert Williams

vulturehound.co.uk

"An album that slipped so under the radar that its creator admits it made no money is surely a perfect candidate for an underrated gem – assuming of course that it’s any good. And is it ever."

Not Forgotten: Black & White by The Stranglers

"Buying ’5 Minutes’ as a thirteen year old I would not have imagined that some thirty eight years later I would still be finding meaning in that song and the album that, followed it."

The Versatile Hugh Cornwell: 'Always Give People What You Want for Yourself'

huffingtonpost.co.uk

"Of his new novel Arnold Drive, Hugh Cornwell says "it's like Being There meets Forrest Gump meets Father Ted. It's a Dickensian tale, a black comedy.""

The Stranglers - Giants And Gems: An Album Collection

recordcollectormag.com

"Ultimately, though, it’s the mystifying decision to omit 2004’s colossal Norfolk Coast that slays Giants & Gems’ quest to present the all-conquering retrospective The Stranglers’ Herculean career truly deserves."
