Hugh Cornwell 1988 concert dates
While still a member of The Stranglers, Hugh released the solo album *Wolf* in June, preceded by “Another Kind of Love” in April and followed by “Dreaming Again” in July. “Another Kind of Love” also led to an unusually ambitious collaboration with Czech surrealist filmmaker and animator Jan Švankmajer. The production took about six months and required repeated short visits to Prague; the resulting four-minute film was Švankmajer's only music video for a rock song.

- 1988 (over approximately six months)“Another Kind of Love” music videoUnited Kingdom / West Germany / CzechoslovakiaFour-minute video for the song from *Wolf*, designed and directed by Jan Švankmajer, who filmed rather than produced it. Hugh travelled to Prague four or five times for two- or three-day sessions with Švankmajer; production involved stop-frame animation and plaster casts of Hugh's head, face and teeth, and Hugh recalled dining with Švankmajer after the sessions, with their conversations translated by an agent. Hugh said Švankmajer accepted after seeing the poor standard of contemporary videos on MTV while attending a Madrid film festival, and later declined other music-video offers—including one from Sting—because he intended this to be his sole rock video
