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.

Kraftwerk Paradiso Amsterdam 16th January 2015

 


Six years ago today Kraftwerk commenced a residency at the iconic Paradiso in Amsterdam, where over the course of eight successive nights they would showcase each of their studio albums. Quite a feat! 

I think it is fair comment to say that when 'Autobahn' was released in November 1974 Kraftwerk still had one foot firmly planted in the experimental Krautrock scene that had a strong cult following. However, from the first slam of a car door on the 22 minute 47 second epic of the title track it was clear to the club DJs both in Europe and the US that Kraftwerk were coursing a uniquely different musical voyage of discovery.

So here is where it all began for Kraftwerk as most know them... Autobahn, the sound of the new Germany!
