Adam And The Ants
Kings Of The Wild Frontier
CBS 1980
I always thought Adam and indeed his Ants never got the serious recognition they deserved. 1980 was prime music hero band worship era for me and I adored all of Adam’s records. Antmusic is unlike anything I’d heard before or since really. And aside from the well known singles there are some really well crafted and complex tracks here, Feed Me To The Lions and Ants Invasion are prime examples. This album along with Prince Charming and the earlier Dirk Wears White Sox are essential new wave / post-punk listening I think.
