"The first Anti-M CD I listened to was Positivley Negative. On a trip to Kauai, Hawaii I learned of the devestating hurricane Iniki. As I surfed the net for more info on Iniki I came across the Anti-M site and discovered their music. Wedge and company captured the spirit of Iniki in their song of the same name. My personal favorite is Burn. I could listen to it all day long. Ronnie Montrose, one of my favorite guitarists of all time, adds that extra kick to several songs that I thoroughly enjoy. The combination of keyboards, synthesizers, guitars and unique vocals makes Positively Negative one of my most listened to CDs. If you like Bowie, Depeche Mode, etc. you'll love this CD."

"What a treat! A great example of techno rock with 80's punch yet not without rocking 90's guitars. Ronnie Montrose is in there supplying the expected. I think my favorite is "Lonely" with its soothing melodies and well thought harmony accompanyment. Chant along with "Nothing" then laugh out loud to "Burn" and "Why". Vocals are done so well particularly with the opening "Security" where deep controlling tones command attention.Some great stuff here."

"This review was sent to the anti-m.com web site and we were given permission to post it here



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 17styles 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.
