[CRAZY-HORSE]

ADAM & THE ANTS "prince charming" 1981. #7aust, #2uk, #94us.

back in the early 1980's i was a huge fan of Adam Ant, he was different to everyone else around, the image, the kooky videos, the sound of twin drummers which gave their second album(kings of the wild frontier) a 'prime evil' beat and the fact that the late great Malcom McLaren was their driving force all interested me.

this was their followup release to that one was a change of sound again, this time with horns to beef up the sound and crystal clear production, along with the odd spanish guitar,a couple of slower tracks and an early incarnation of rap music which would take the world by storm a decade later.
all in all its not a bad album, it has some good tracks and some dud tracks, the Ants would split up after this one and Adam Ant would have moderate success in the UK over the next couple of years as a solo artist.

I LIKE THIS ONE!
