The reputation of <a href="spotify:artist:2914JagOufmP5BY9qLDxtF">Arto Lindsay</a> (vocals, guitar) as an avant-garde noisemaker couldn't really be seen with Ambitious Lovers, a dance-pop group he formed with keyboardist <a href="spotify:artist:2zP1W5f5sJb2zSxjzS3u41">Peter Scherer</a> in the early '80s. After leaving the no wave band DNA, <a href="spotify:artist:2914JagOufmP5BY9qLDxtF">Lindsay</a> balanced the sonic adventurousness of his earlier work with Brazilian music and New York funk. In 1984, Ambitious Lovers released their first LP, Envy. <a href="spotify:artist:2914JagOufmP5BY9qLDxtF">Lindsay</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2zP1W5f5sJb2zSxjzS3u41">Scherer</a> wanted to create songs that were accessible and catchy; however, the group's genre-bending style never caught on with the mainstream. Two more albums followed -- 1988's Greed and 1991's Lust -- but neither of them received much attention outside of critics' circles. <a href="spotify:artist:2914JagOufmP5BY9qLDxtF">Lindsay</a> recorded a few solo outings in the '90s. ~ Michael Sutton, Rovi
