“Another Kind of Love” by Hugh Cornwell

Hugh Cornwell was still in the Stranglers when his first solo album, Wolf, came out on Virgin in June 1988, and while the album never charted, "Another Kind of Love" made its own way: released as a single that September, it climbed to 11 on the US Alternative chart. Cornwell wrote it alone and takes the production credit, with Alan Winstanley engineering and mixing, and the surrealist filmmaker Jan Švankmajer directed the video.

Critics were cool on Wolf as a whole, hearing it as a stab at lightweight dance-pop that the Stranglers could have pulled off just as well, which makes the single's modest American success all the sweeter.
