Adam & The Ants – Kings Of The Wild Frontier: Remastered (3-CD & DVD)
Product Details
Released at the hinge point where post-punk's DIY spirit collided with genuine pop ambition, *Kings of the Wild Frontier* built its sound around the "Burundi beat," a tribal double-drum attack that Marco Pirroni and Adam Ant borrowed from field recordings and made entirely their own. The Malcolm McLaren betrayal that preceded it, losing his entire backing band to Bow Wow Wow, turned out to be the catalyst that pushed Adam Ant toward something far more original.
Super Deluxe three CD + DVD edition includes bonus b-sides, demos, rare tracks and live recordings plus a DVD containing the full Live In Tokyo show. Digitally remastered edition of the 1980 album by Adam Ant and his band of merry Ants. Kings Of The Wild Frontier was the band's second album and their commercial breakthrough. After having his previous backing band wooed away by producer Malcolm McLaren, who used them to form Bow Wow Wow, Adam Ant recorded Kings Of The Wild Frontier with guitarist Marco Pirroni as his new writing partner. The album was released in November of '80 and reached #1 in the UK Album Chart. It spawned three hit singles: "Kings of the Wild Frontier", which was released in July and reached #2 in the UK Singles Chart; "Dog Eat Dog", which reached #4; and 'Antmusic', released in December and reaching No. 2, as well as #1 in Australia. The album was the UK's #1 selling album in 1981 and won Best British Album at the 1982 Brit Awards.
