Product Description
CD Description
After 1983's disappointingly mainstream, Phil Collins-produced STRIP, Adam Ant's commercial star was on the wane. 1985's VIVE LE ROCK didn't improve his chart fortunes, but it wasa resounding artistic return to the form of such previous Antmusic gems as FRIEND OR FOE or KINGS OF THE WILD FRONTIER.
Wisely retiring the booming, Gary Glitter-influenced faux-tribal drums which defined his earlier sound, Adam and longtime collaborator Marco Pirroni instead created a delightfully gimmicky space-age-rockabilly sound which compares favourably to the late work of T. Rex. Mixing Bolanesque lyrical nonsense with twangy, Duane Eddy-like guitars, especially notable on the title track, "Miss Thing", and the downright bizarre "Apollo 9", also included in an a cappella version, VIVE LE ROCK is a frothy pop album which succeeds well on its own terms.
