Aural Sculpture is an album, a 7 inch single and picture disc single by The Stranglers.
The album featured acoustic guitar as well as a three-piece horn section (trumpet, trombone and saxophone), which were uncharacteristic of the band.
The horn section significantly changed the sound of the album and live performances, and was disliked by some of the fans.

The tape version of the album had a Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer programme at the end of the tape. The programme could be loaded and run on the Spectrum using the usual tape loading method. The programme was an adventure game written using a framework called The Quill. Preceding the programme itself on the tape was a short explanation of the following squeal, and was voiced by the band members themselves.
