Album Notes
Personnel: Adam Ant (vocals).Audio Remixer: Vic Anesini.Liner Note Author: Ira Robbins.Photographer: Lynn Goldsmith.For those unaware of Adam Ant and his peculiar brand of "Antumusic," a bizarre assortment of Indian and pirate imagery, tribal drums, and twang guitar, ANTICS IN THE FORBIDDEN ZONE is the place to start. This collection culls the more memorable moments from Ant's kitschy career and presents a fairly complete overview of his image conscious career. Ant's first offerings were rather dour, offering little hint of the camp that was soon to appear. And appear it did, with the galloping "Kings of the Wild Frontier," a pounding effort that along with "Antmusic" highlighted the band's weird world of self-promoting bravado."Los Rancheros" bears the distinction of being the only early '80s new wave song to name drop Clint Eastwood. Ant went the inevitable solo route and released his best album, FRIEND OR FOE. "Goody Two Shoes" and the album's title track meld the best of his previously thumping backbeats and reverb guitar into a more conventional pop context. Ant further distanced himself from his pirate dandy image with the none-too-subtle "Strip," whose purpose clearly outlines itself in the title. Since Ant began to flounder as the decade progressed, this collection rightly focuses on his early '80s material.
