Doomy and partly experimental soundtrack to a rarely seen film by The Stranglers' bass and keyboard players, released on Epic in 1984.

condition (record/cover): NM / VG+ (minimal sticker removal damage on back and light wear)

Teaming with The Stranglers' bandmate Dave Greenfield, J.J. Burnel then made an album that “forms the musical basis for the film ‘Ecoutez Vos Murs’ by Vincent Coudanne.” Fire & Water takes two approaches — typical soundtrack ambience, relying on doomy keyboard effects, and songs, some with vocals. “Rain & Dole & Tea” is sung in Phil Spector fashion by a multi-tracked female vocalist; “Nuclear Power (Yes Please)” actually quotes Albert Einstein in a remarkably clumsy science lesson; “Detective Privée” is a sensuously murmured French number.
