THE STRANGLERS - TURN THE CENTURIES, TURN

The fifth track from The Stranglers fifth album, The Gospel According to The Meninblack (or sometimes referred to as just The Meninblack) is an esoteric concept album made by The Stranglers and released in 1981. The album deals with conspiratorial ideas surrounding alien visitations to Earth, the sinister governmental Men in Black, and the involvement of these elements in well-known biblical narratives. It is not the first time The Stranglers had used this concept, Meninblack on the earlier The Raven album and subsequent 1980 single-release Who wants the World? had also explored it, though not to the same level. The video clip is footage from the International Space Station.
