ADAM AND THE ANTS - 1979 - 1981 (THE COMPLETE 3 ALBUM COLLECTION)
"DIRK WEARS WHITE SOX" 1979 CATROUBLE (Parts 1 + 2) - The opening track is a mix of New Wave, raw Punk and arty Pop. It is raw and with that great "as live" sound. Part 1 is an experimental mish mash of sounds and effects, while Part 2 is a stripped back original demo style slant on the later, more brash and superior "Catrouble" single. DIGITAL TENDERNESS - One of my favourite Ant tracks, New Wave Pop Punk at its best, similar to the style Blondie and the like were releasing. Annoyingly catchy with the repetitive pumping drumbeat and guitar riffs its a gem. NINE PLAN FAILED - On the backdrop of an eerie army style "pom pom" drumbeat and provocative lyrics about war and its effects. Early Punk meets Progressive Rock. THE DAY I MET GOD - Storming Pop Punk track about seemingly weird dreams when Adam met God. Apparently it was "pissing with rain" and God had a big "knob", on his door
