Stranger to Stranger is the first and only album by American new wave band Industry released on Capitol Records and distributed by EMI in 1983. A Philippine CD version was later released and included an extended version of "Still of the Night".
The album features the most successful track "State of the Nation", an anti-war song that broke into European charts. It was a minor hit in the U.S., peaking at No. 81 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, it was a bigger hit in Europe and peaked at number ten in Sweden. The album peaked at No. 48 in Sweden.
After this album, Jon Carin started a successful solo and session musician career, becoming a permanent member of the Pink Floyd studio & live band and co-writing Pink Floyd's hit single "Learning to Fly". Unger and Perrone went on to form their own bands.
