Reviews:

When I saw that Ronnie Montrose was involved in this project, I just had to check it out (even if IT totally alluded me in its original release). After all this time, I wasn't sure what to expect from Ronnie: Would it be hard rock, a la Montrose? Would it be spacey kinda pop like Gamma or kinda jazzy like some of his instrumental releases? About all I can say is this: I wasn't expecting what I got! Anti-M is John Wardlaw, Ruston Slager, and Mark Rumer, a trio of retro-thinking futurists whose sound is very dark, not something that I would imagine Montrose would agree to playing. But... he did and the results are quite impressive! The imaginative hodge-podge that is POSITIVELY NEGATIVE was originally released in 1995; this ten year anniversary remaster features the original 17 tracks plus two bonus tunes, instrumental versions of "Security" and "Television.

" Trying to nail down a musical thread in Anti-M's music is like hunting for the proverbial needle in the hay stack: Just when you think that you can put your finger on a certain style ('80s New Wave Electronica, English Goth, '70s metal, '90s hard rock, English pop, etc. ad infinitum), it's gone. The music is generally dark and crushingly claustrophobic, kinda like mid-era Depeche Mode or most of Tangerine Dream's output (even the seemingly happy and innocuous tracks, like "Why" and "Rap This Around Your Head," have an underlying menace that sneaks up and gut-punches you). The vocals by Wardlaw (known to all and sundry as "Wedge") and Slager (and I'm not really sure who's singing on what... I think that the majority of the leads are taken by Slager, though) can best be described as a synthesization of David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Peter Steele, Peter Murphy, Greg Lake, and that guy from Rammstein. The guitars are generally crisp and up-front, though the bass and synths seem to be the forces driving the music. With Montrose only appearing on four of the original tracks (plus the bonus material), that means that the guitar has to come from somewhere. That somewhere is the supple fingers of Steve Weber who, though not an official member of Anti-M, also played on the group's debut, NO WAVES IN HELL; Wedge also adds guitar on several tracks. Trying to describe this release - other than to say that it is absolutely brilliant - has induced a headache the size of Nebraska, so I'm gonna quit trying, except to say this: I don't know if the guys in Anti-M are modern day visionaries or if they just got lucky with this record; whatever, POSITIVELY NEGATIVE is one of those rare beasts that should be in everyone's collection... no excuses! To secure your own copy of this musical masterpiece and to learn more about the band, go to the Anti-M web-site (www.anti-m.com). Do it now! We'll wait for you.

"..Peter Murphy-style vocals... and the biggest synthesizers this side of Depeche Mode. Techno-surf instrumentals... ." The Santa Barbara Independent-Danny Gellert

Haunting vocals and sublime guitar intonations combine for a memorable and riveting experience. -Chris Monrad

Three years on and we find our heroes back in the studio, this time toning down the quirky sense of humour, and going for a more sensible seventeen tracks and keeping the narrative out of the window altogether. So, it starts off with a song that bizarrely mixes D.Mode style synths, drums and vocals with a biting electric guitar lead courtesy of none other than Ronnie Montrose, who also contributes some stirring guitar work on three further tracks, while guitarist Steve Weber, whose influences I am reliably informed are Fripp/Holdsworth, contributes electric guitar to most of the other tracks, while the main duo behind the band remain as Ruston Slager on lead vocals and keyboards, with John Wardlaw on keyboards, lead vocals and guitar. With six instrumental and eleven songs, it's a strange mix of music that mixes the likes of Human League/D.Mode/Heaven 17 styles with some hot electric guitar work in there too, giving it quite a unique feel, and if you're into that style and era of songs, only with less pop, more atmosphere and overall stronger instrumentally, then this is for you, for sure.
