Digitally remastered reissue of the New Wave act's debut album, originally released in 1979, Before the face paint, pirate outfits and theatrical performances and videos, Adam and his early Ants were Post-Punk art rockers covered in a dark, Gothic glaze. The tracks here capture early Adam in all his twisted glory, approaching Punk from different angles and creating an eclectic album that sounded like no-one else. Abrasive to some, engaging to others, Dirk Wears White Sox is an extremely creative and exciting artifact. After this album, half of these Ants went onto form Bow Wow Wow and Adam then put together a new version of the Ants that would become hugely successful barely a year later. Features seven bonus tracks, 'Whip In My Valise', 'Kick!', 'Physical', 'Cartrouble (Parts 1 & 2-Chris Hughes Mix), 'Friends', 'Cartrouble' (Single Version), & 'Kick' (Single Version). Sony.

In 1985 members of Duran Duran took a hiatus from their hectic career to produce two very different bands and albums, the first being Arcadia comprised of Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor, the second being the guitar driven rock of the Power Station with John and Andy Taylor (along with Robert Palmer and Tony Thompson ). Arcadia, created between the Arena and Notorious albums, it was originally going to be a project of "remakes" much like Duran Duran's 1996 release Thank You. What it became was a much more eloquent version of Duranie synth pop. This album gained recognition from the sheer Duran connection, however, it featured some of the most stylishly written pop tunes and produced four singles. EMI. 1998.

Notes : Remastered CD reissue of the third album of Thierry Müller (aka ILITCH) released in 1985 under the name of RUTH ( in dedication to Ruth who "left"), with a 16 pages booklet (which includes the remastering of the original vinyl booklet), plus three bonus tracks : two versions of Polaroïd/roman/photo from 1982 & 1984 and a remix track by L’Orchestre Inachevé (aka Patrick Müller and Laurent Saïet).
For this RUTH album, Thierry Muller had the collaboration of Phippe Doray, Frédérique Lapierre, and Edouard Nono for the texts, Marc Duconseille for some arrangements and the help of several other musicians. This ensemble gives a very musical and structured album, with fine arrangements which give, like in Ilitch’s albums, some powerful climates.
We can define “Polaroïd/roman/photo”, if its possible, like a relax mood erotic-melodic-synthe-80’s pop album.
Polaroïd/roman/photo (the track, text by Philippe Doray) , with Mots and Mabelle ( a kind of ”disco” revisited version of Waiting for Mabelle on Ilitch/10 suicides) are, in 85’ and even now, cult in Germany, northern Europe and Japan.
At last and not at least, we can listen to a clever cover of She brings the rain by Can. The first cover of a Can piece recorded and published on a LP.

With their second album, Travelogue from 1980, The Human League began to incorporate more traditional rock elements to their signature synth-led sound and in doing so featured songs with more pop and dance music leanings creating a sound that would become the template for the current electronic music movement. This album has been remastered and expanded to include 8 non-LP singles tracks released during this period including, 'Marianne', 'Dancevision', 'Rock 'N' Roll/Night Clubbing' (Gary Glitter/Iggy Pop), 'Tom Baker', 'Boys & Girls', 'I Don't Depend On You' and 'Cruel'. Virgin. 2003.
