Dreamtime is the ninth studio album by the Stranglers, released in 1986 by Epic Records.[2] The title track was inspired by a belief of the aboriginal peoples of Australia called Dreamtime.
The single "Always the Sun" peaked at No. 30 in the UK Singles Chart.[3] Dreamtime itself reached No. 16 in the UK Albums Chart, the lowest charting studio album during Hugh Cornwell's recording tenure with the band (1977–90).[3]
Singles released in the UK for this album included "Nice in Nice" (peaked at No. 30), "Always the Sun", "Big in America" (peaked at No. 48) and "Shakin' Like a Leaf" (peaked at No. 58).[3] A fifth single was proposed by the record company, and a remix of the song "Was It You?" was prepared, but it was never released.
