Aural Sculptors - The Stranglers Live 1976 to the Present


Welcome to Aural Sculptors, a blog aimed at bringing the music of The Stranglers to as wide an audience as possible. Whilst all of the various members of the band that have passed through the ranks since 1974 are accomplished studio musicians, it is on stage where the band have for me had their biggest impact.

As a collector of their live recordings for many years I want to share some of the better quality material with other fans. By selecting the higher quality recordings I hope to present The Stranglers in the best possible light for the benefit of those less familiar with their material than the hardcore fan.

Needless to say, this site will steer well clear of any officially released material. As well as live gigs, I will post demos, radio interviews and anything else that I feel may be of interest.

In addition, occasionally I will post material by other bands, related or otherwise, that mean a lot to me.

Your comments and/or contributions are most welcome. Please email me at adrianandrews@myyahoo.com.

    Nice one, Adrian - a historic recording that should be preserved and re-served! A corrected setlist:

    America
    Set-Up
    I Make You (aka Music)
    Sex Without Stress
    This Country (aka Runs With Honey)* ***
    Lion Love**
    Communication (aka Headache for Michelle)
    Beat Of A Machine**
    Get Out Of The Way (?)
    Fiasco
    From the Land Of The Setting Sun (aka Hokka He Ha)*
    Obvious

    The starred tracks were also recorded in the studio in 1983-84 and released on *="Stepping Out Of Line" anthology **=1993 RPM 16-track out-of-print CD of "Sense and Sensuality" ***=Dojoji, 1984 Dutch mini-LP with Lesley Woods. See here (and the comments there) for more Au Pairs:
