Synopsis

Product Description
It H-Hurts 2000, The Instrumentals was produced in response to fans comments that many of Anti-m's songs would sound great as instrumentals. John (Wedge) Wardlaw (keyboards, vocals, guitar) took many of the bands instrumental tracks and combined them with instrumental remixes of many of the bands other tracks to create this album. At nearly 80 minutes this recording includes the instrumental remixes of the 4 songs that featured guitarist RONNIE MONTROSE on the bands album POSITIVELY NEGATIVE. It H-Hurts was something we wanted to do from the beginning. To create and entire album of instrumental music. While we chose to leave 2 tracks with minor vocals on the compilation we are very happy with the results.
 

CD Reviews

Great film music---without the film
ionadh | Texas, USA | 05/02/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is very cool stuff. The members of this group must have had movies in mind; their instrumentals would make exceptional soundtrack music. Guitar guru Ronnie Montrose (how in the world did these guys hook up with him?) peels paint with his licks on a number of tracks, and the synthetic keyboards---never my favorite thing, they actually epitomize everything I hate about Eighties pop music, in fact---are employed to great effect here. This really should hit the eardrums of film producers: the opening is a clever James Bond salute; "Television" and "Lonely (FX mix)" remind me of "Miami Vice"; "Snuk" would fit right into "The X-Files" with its spine-tingling effects; "Saltation" really rocks. Again, I could not be less enthralled with electronic music, but even without Montrose's six-string wizardry, Anti-M (whose members are John Wardlaw, Ruston Slager and Mark Rumer) have produced a really exceptional example of this sub-category of pop music. Buy it, listen to it, and if you're a creative sort like I am, write to it; I will."
Interesting music

"This instrumental re-mix has several tracks featuring Ronnie Montrose. Ronnie is an amazing guitarist and his licks on this CD make no exception to his prowess. There are some very interesting styles meshed together on the CD. I especially liked the song Sensory Overload Chamber (extended)."
Strange music but Ronnie is fantastic.

"This cd is an odd collection of songs, almost all instrumentals. Ronnie Montrose plays on 4 of them (another reviewer seemed to have missed the fact that this info is posted right here on amazon). Ronnie's work is mostly guitar solos. The track SECURITY has a flavor of CONDITION YELLOW from GAMMA 3. His guitar work is easy to pick out in my opinion. However, this cd is loaded with keyboards and a bit of a 80's feel. I give it 5 stars for being different and original in a time when everything seems to be sounding like american idol (which I really hate). indepenantly produced...how did they get Ronnie?"
