album live and in sequence plus my other favorite songs from the repertoire, in
Australia and New Zealand,” Adam
said.
Kings of the Wild Frontier introduced the Burundi Beat style of
thundering, infectious, Central African drumming to a pop-music audience.

signature that remains to this day. In addition to remastering the classic
album, Adampersonally designed the deluxe box set that includes items from his extensive
personal archive and a bonus DVD of the out-of-print “Ants In Japan” concert
video.
The platinum album, originally released in 1980, crowned the UK Album Chart and
spent more time in the top position than any other album at the time. The album
went on to achieve worldwide recognition and produced massive chart-topping
singles including the classic
Antmusic,
the breakthrough tribal onslaught of
Dog Eat Dog and the epic title track. In Australia, the
Antmusic single spent five weeks at #1
on the charts.
