Their subsequent albums focussed more and more on the pop ballads and less and less on the progressive elements, and while they had some success with singles, they called it quits after 1982's Road Island. Ambrosia re-formed (minus Pack) in the late 90s and continue to tour and enterain their fans.

A live CD "Live At The Galaxy" was released in 2002, and they are currently recording a new studio album that long time fans are hoping will be released in 2009. 2) Ambrosia was a hardcore punk band from Valmiera, Latvia formed in 2005. Ambrosia has performed many shows around Latvia and Estonia area and became one of the best-known newcomers to the Latvian hardcore scene that year. Their music is also included on music compilation Latvian Hardcore / Punk Vol.5. Band split up in September 2011. The last lineup : Andrejs Makarēvičs - vocals; Jānis Osis - vocals, guitar (currently GhettoZloba); Rūdolfs Rūtenbergs - guitar; Uldis Andersons - bass guitar; Miks Riekstiņš - drums (currently GhettoZloba, Marmöri). www.myspace.com/ambrosiaambrosia 3) Ambrosia is an emo-metal / hardcore band from Prague, Czech. www.dobrynapad.cz/ambrosia 4) Ambrosia was formed in summer 2008 by Adnan Čikotić and Hana Hadžajlić, who wanted to play some good old brutal death metal. Soon Adnan Muratović and Hana's brother joined band. After few rehearsals Hana's brother left the band and we had to seek for another drummer.

In a few months band had changed few drummers who played on the shows. Later Edin Čehović joined as a second guitar player, and Boris Uložnik replaced Hana. www.myspace.com/ambrosiabosna User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License and may also be available under the GNU FDL..
