A bit of IGN but what the Hell ? From punk to mature acoustic moods via funk and visionary pop, the nine official (and one unreleased) Adam Ant albums have been a wonderful ride… By John Earls Adam Ant Albums: Dirk Wears W hite Sox

So far, Ant has released six solo studio albums. [34] Songs by both versions of Adam and the Ants have remained staples of his solo live concerts. His partnership with Pirroni continued until the two fell out in March 2010. [35] During the late 2000s and early 2010s, Pirroni was a member of The Wolfmen with Ant's 1982-1985 bassist Chris Constantinou; they released two albums together. [36] Ant and his regular band subsequently performed the album for four nights at Islington Assembly Hall in November 2014 and on a full UK tour in Spring 2015. The Dirk-performance section, and other portions of the Hammersmith concert, were released on DVD in 2015 as Dirk Live At The Apollo. [45] In 2016, this exercise was repeated with the Kings of the Wild Frontier album, which was performed on tour in the UK and US to promote a deluxe-gold vinyl reissue by Sony Records, which charted in the UK Albums Chart at number 69.

Antbox (66 треков на трех компактах): начальный 10-тысячный тираж был распродан мгновенно. В 2003 году бокс-сет был перевыпущен в новом формате и вновь стал бестселлером.In truth, so long as Marco Pirroni was there as co-writer and Chris Hughes as producer/drummer, the Ants were golden. Adam himself has reservations about Prince Charming , believing it sounds as rushed and patchy as the reality of its making. It’s the only one of his first four albums he hasn’t recently toured in full. Prince Charming поднялся на 1-е место и группа провела аншлаговые гастроли Prince Charming Revue с материалом третьего студийного альбома Prince Charming. Муни покинул состав и его заменил Гари Тиббс (Gary Tibbs) с ним был записан трек Stand & Deliver, выпущенный синглом (5 недель #1 в мае 1981 года) и получивший позже (29 апреля 1982 года) награду Ivor Novello как лучший сингл года; Ант и Пиррони победили в номинации «автор года». a b c Woodstra, Chris.

Wanting to learn his craft to avoid simply being another “singer tries acting” gadfly, after working with Sylvia Sims on a production of Joe Orton’s play Entertaining Mr Sloane at Manchester’s Royal Exchange in 1985, Adam stopped music for five years.

Adam and the Ants — британская группа новой волны, имевшая огромный успех в начале 80-х годов и оказавшая заметное влияние на развитие брит-попа (Elastica, Suede, Franz Ferdinand).

[50] Nine Inch Nails also covered "Physical (You're So)" on their 1992 EP Broken. Ant launched a solo career a few months after the split, retaining Marco Pirroni as co-writer. The single " Goody Two Shoes" peaked at number one in the UK, and Ant released more albums during the 1980s. Hughes continued to work as a record producer. [33] This was no Hotel California -style whinge about fame, instead delivered here and on Here Comes The Grump with a self-effacing cheek.

The expanded 2016 boxset edition showed just how prolific Adam was as soon as CBS offered him a seemingly unlikely deal. It helped that Ants II featured both a dream writing partner and the ideal producer.

Последний вскоре стал настоящим музыкальным мозгом группы и соавтором всех её хитов.[4] Делами нового состава взялся управлять менеджер Фалкон Стюарт. The Ants’ lineup changed slightly, too. Much the same as Kevin Rowland was doing with Dexys Midnight Runners, Adam Ant was a hardline bandleader, wanting absolute discipline from his troops. This saw the headstrong Kevin Mooney leave and in his place came sensible session player Gary Tibbs, a versatile enough musician to have played with Roxy Music, Hazel O’Connor and eventually Aztec Camera and Brian May. In November 1981, Adam and the Ants released the parent album Prince Charming which spent three weeks at number 2. [25] A third single from the album, " Ant Rap" reached No.3 in January 1982.

All three singles from the album as well as the previous single " Kings of the Wild Frontier" is listed on the official top 50 best-selling singles of 1981, "Stand and Deliver" and "Prince Charming" as the third and fourth best-selling single respectively.
