Review

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

Product Description

An intentionally humorous mini rock opera about a surfer who is uncool and dreams he goes to hell only to find there are no waves there.

No Waves was the first album by Anti-M and it was supposed to be the only album. Produced by surfing buddies John Wardlaw and Ruston Slager along with Mark Rumer (programming) and Steve Weber (guitar) the concept was to write some cool songs, have some fun and a laugh and be done with it. But they enjoyed it so much they have continued to write and record music and have released 3 more albums.

Positively Negative which featured guitar legend Ronnie Montrose as a guest musican, It H-Hurts the Instrumentals, an album of remixes including some soundtrack work they did for the dvd James Bond Spoof YOU ONLY DIE ONCE, and more recently the band released the album Damage, a more goth rock album influenced by such bands as Lacuna Coil, Collide, Evanescence, The gathering, Garbage and Within Temptation.

No Waves in Hell is the starting point for this band and songs from this album and later projects can be heard on the DVD HAWAIIAN SURF STORIES, a collection of surfing films (see that title under amazon's dvd listings) made during the 90's). It appears at this point that Anti-M are planning to be around a while.

Wedge and the boys from Anti-M have created a masterpiece in No Waves In Hell. There are so many great songs on this CD that I keep coming back for more. I particularly like Meltin Penguins, Yuppie Music and the title tracks. Anti-M's versatility, creativity and injection of humor and satire into their music, makes listening to No Waves fun. Buy this CD, share this music with friends, and join the Anti-M wave.

The following review was sent to the Anti-m.com web site. We were given permission to use it here.

Predominantly a synths-based album, it features
the odd song, short link narrative tracks, the
occasional electric and electrifying guitar solos,
spooky voices buried in the depths, some mighty
flowing lead synth lines from the three musicians
and a staggering 21 tracks in sixty-eight minutes.
The mood of the album is pretty varied from intense
multi-synth darkwave flows of warming music through
more delicate refrains from guitar and the massive
synthbank that surrounds and envelops the mix,
to the D.Mode style
songs, on one of the strangest albums I've heard
in ages. Like it? I'll tell you in three or four
plays time‚.maybe.
