Dreamtime (The Stranglers album)


Dreamtime is the ninth album released by The Stranglers in 1986. The title track was inspired by a belief of the aboriginal peoples of Australia called Dreamtime.
The single "Always the Sun" single peaked at No. 30 in the UK Singles Chart. Dreamtime itself reached No. 16 in the UK Albums Chart, the lowest charting studio album during Hugh Cornwell's recording tenure with the band.
Singles released in the UK for this album included "Nice In Nice", "Always The Sun", "Big In America" and "Shakin' Like A Leaf". A fifth single was proposed by the record company, and a remixed version of the song "Was It You?" was recorded, but it was never released.
