Strange Cruise (album)
Strange Cruise is the eponymously titled album by the short-lived British band Strange Cruise released on EMI. Released in 1986, it was the band's only album.

Background
After Visage disbanded in 1985, vocalist Steve Strange put a new band together the same year. The recording of the album took place in late 1985 in Germany, in a studio near Nuremberg. Mike Hedges produced the album, with contributions from Simon Hanhart and Steve Forward.

The album was a commercial disappointment, failing to enter the chart. Two singles taken off the album, "Rebel Blue Rocker" and a cover of Sonny & Cher's "The Beat Goes On", were also unsuccessful. There was also a B-side called Silver Screen Queen.
