Adam Ant - Essential Adam Ant @FLAC

Adam Ant is a British New Wave artist. He was the lead singer of Adam & the Ants until their split in early 1982, by which time they had recorded three studio albums.

Essential Adam Ant provides a compact overview of this seminal '80s popster. Ant was key to the development of the image and sound of early-'80s New Pop; his flamboyant persona and infectious, angular rock (flavored with elements of punk, dance, and pop melodicism) struck a chord with the public. Songs like "Stand and Deliver" and "Antmusic"-- which feature pounding, tribal drums and wry, chant-oriented choruses-- are inventive, yet immediately accessible. Naturally, these hit tracks are included, as are the cheeky "Prince Charming" and the jaunty "Goody Two Shoes", and the goth-disco hybrid "Desperate But Not Serious.

Essential Adam Ant is a top-notch collection of Adam Ant's finest moments.
