The Punk Madrigal 6 July 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This album is unlike any other released either before or since. The singles are classics, and the punk/madrigal title track sets the tone for a very odd mixture of influences and styles. The opening track, Scorpios, is undoubtedly the best Bond theme that never was, and there is a soundtrack-like quality to a few of the other songs here. Even in its weakest moments, this album is brimming with unique ideas that have nothing to do with convential rock/pop. This is a seminal album that adds up to far more than the sum of its parts. The packaging of this new re-release is also superb, and it includes some interesting demos and extra tracks. Essential.

Although this is the Ants most commercially successful album it has always been considered their weakest, however on listening to it again (I was only 10 the first time around!) I'm surprised by the quality - yes its pure pop (Stand and Deliver is especially brilliant!) but the lyrics are sublime. The transition from the first album "Dirk", through "Kings" to this is extreme, but seems perfectly natural, the sense of humor remains. Even more than that though, this album looks even more fantastic than Kings - its outrageous and must have annoyed the old punks immensely!

On top of the basic album you also get a fascinating insight into the effort that goes on in the studio with half an albums worth of demo tracks.

This is the best-looking package of the first three remastered Adam & the Ants albums (and that's saying something!) - beautifully re-designed and making the original gatefold sleeve into a contemporary 2004 digipack. Mark Alleyne deserves extra credit here for his work on the sleeve...

This album has always been a part of my collection since it was released in November 1981, and still sounds great - check out "Scorpios" (one of the best drum breaks in any song, ever!), "Picasso" and "That Voodoo!" - now remastered and without the hiss that dogged the previous CD release.

Great to have the extra tracks and demos, but a few of the fantastic B-Sides added to the package would have been even better ("Beat My Guest" / "Christian Dior" / "Friends" - although these are available on the "B-Side Babies" CD from 1994).

Looking forward to completing the collection when Friend or Foe (1982), Strip (1984), and Vive Le Rock (1985) are given the same treatment over the next few months. Thanks Marco - you've given us a real treat with these releases!

best album ever if you include its b-sides!
Its such an adventurous album, and i think the only reason its unfairly overlooked by antfans is the dragging second half to the album. Read more

An amazing change from the first blast on the trumpet. Scorpios is a good track with a real jazzy feel, but the second track is first rate. Read more

Although 'Stand and Deliver' and 'Prince Charming' remain career highlights for Adam Ant, this album is less than the sum of its parts. Read more
