Adam
And The Ants
– Prince
Charming
CD Album, remastered 2006
Columbia
This
album was made in the height of Ant-madness and one can hear a bigger
budget but also very much conscious of the fact that it needs to do
something newish compared to the last album, which of course is a
masterpiece. In other words we have the curse of the second album
following a strong debut album. “Five Gun West” is not new, and
goes back to the sound of their Kings
Of The Wild Frontier. And
that is good because it is the super uber sound of Morricone filtered
through the Adam magic. Also the mix or the recording is much milder
compared to the last album. It needs that extra amount of chaos or
being abandoned by the violence of the beat. Nevertheless there are
the (and rightfully so) classics here such as the above song, “Stand
and Deliver” and “Prince Charming” of course. Also one gets
the feeling that everything that need to be said was said on Kings
Of The Wild Frontier. But
on the other hand there are traces of something new...
