AD toured extensively between 1983 and 1986, sometimes playing bars and clubs one night and then churches the next. Kerry Livgren has stated on several occasions that he experienced some of the highest and lowest points in his career during his time with AD. Livgren mentions in his book Seeds of Change: The Spiritual Quest of Kerry Livgren that his time playing live with AD was his best as a guitarist.

Art of the State was released in the spring of 1985 on Kerry Livgren's own Christian label Kerygma Records (distributed by Sparrow Records) and was the first album credited to the band name AD. The group began touring, but were quickly discouraged by a lack of professionalism in the Christian venues. After the tour, Warren Ham left the band, and the remaining four members decided to produce one more album before ending AD. Michael Gleason was left to handle the lead vocals alone on the next album, appropriately titled Reconstructions. Due to financial difficulties, AD faded away in 1986 after its release, even though no official breakup was announced.

Although AD had been unofficially disbanded for three years, Kerry Livgren and Warren Ham put together one more album to pay off band bills, with the band name reverting to Kerry Livgren/AD. Released in 1988,[3] Prime Mover was a collection of previously unreleased AD songs. Livgren played all instruments, and all vocals were performed by Ham.

Recent Activity[edit]

In 1992 Kerry Livgren released a double-CD retrospective titled Decade, celebrating 10 years since his first solo recording. It included Livgren’s first two solo albums Seeds of Change and Time Line in their entirety, plus tracks from other albums, including Art of the State, Prime Mover, and One of Several Possible Musiks, and previously unreleased songs. Enthusiasts of Kerry Livgren’s music continue to hold this album in high regard, making it very hard to find.

In the late 1990s Kerry Livgren re-released Art of the State on his new independent record label, Numavox Records. A partially re-recorded version of Reconstructions was also released in 1997.

In 1997, Kerry Livgren discovered recordings of two AD performances from 1984 and 1985 that had been recorded by the soundboard engineer during the Art of the State tour. Though the recordings had not been made for release, Livgren remastered them and released them as a “thank you” to fans on a CD-R title called AD Live. The performances include mistakes and technical problems left intact and is meant as an archival release.

In 1998, Livgren mostly re-recorded Prime Mover and added five new songs and a new version of “Fair Exchange” from the Kansas album Vinyl Confessions in the reissue, Prime Mover II.

Shortly after the release of the Kansas album Somewhere to Elsewhere in 2000, Kerry Livgren began work on the album The Best of Kerry Livgren. Both retrospective and forward-looking, it contains tracks from all his solo releases and some AD tracks. The album also includes two new songs and new recordings of four older songs. Each of these new versions features the original vocalists, including Warren Ham, Michael Gleason, and Ronnie James Dio.

In 2008 Kerry Livgren reworked and reissued Prime Mover
