Quite probably there
hasn’t existed any other group within the Greek underground scene that represented
the synth punk genre better than A
ΝΤΙ… . In
fact, considering the band’s uniquely performed sound-delirium as well as its straightforward
anarchistic and generally rebellious versification, we would argue that it’s
unfortunate (though their members would consider it as fortunate) that ANTI…
has heretofore been unknown to the wide public and consequently, not regarded
as one of the finest exemplars of minimalistic electronic punk in the
international scene. Quite luckily however, there is always the time to put
things back in some order… and order in this circumstance surely pertains to an
“ANTI…-an” disorder…

Born out of the ashes of PPF,
a band formed in late 1981 and with only one concert in its vitae (Heliopolis,
Athens in 1982), ANTI… presented their work for the first time in 1985, playing
live in Pegasus (a well-known Athenian
musical stage). The group, which composed of three members (two synthesizers
and a bass) and a drum machine, performed an innovative mixture of punk and
electronic music accompanied by corresponding socially, economically, politically
and culturally wakeful lines. It was this idiosyncratic combination of a
frantic sound performance and lyrics seething with an absolute rebellion
ranging from the purely adolescent to the desperately mature plus the use of
the Greek language rather than a foreign one, which reserved a special place for
the group within the Greek underground music firmament.

Next, apart from a series of live
performances, ANTI… released two self-produced cassettes, a split album [in 1990
along with a group named Koinonika
Apovlita
(standing for Social Waste in
English) via the Wipe Out! label] and
participated in some compilations [for instance, Fragmenta and Syntagi
Anti-Thanatoy
(Anti-Death
Prescription
)]. Apparently, it
needed 25 long years since the appearance of their original work (1986) until a
full-work of the band could be released in vinyl.
More specifically, the present album which is issued in 500
numbered copies
is basically the re-release of ANTI…’s first tape, presenting
however, a slight variation concerning the tracks included as well as those
tracks’ order of appearance. In particular, apart from the inevitable failure (due
to vinyl’s total-time constraints) to include the song “Instrumental” (which
was actually composed by PPF), the
present edition includes a previously unreleased track
[
Τελευταία Μπύρα (Last
Beer
)] which was kept in the group’s
archive patiently waiting to see the light of day for more than two decades.

Therefore, we present you with
eleven arousing compositions of a straightforward electronic punk idiom
properly dressed with informative, remindful and overall riotous words.
Finally, upon agreement with the pioneers of this musical story (ANTI…), the
re-mastering of the tracks was grounded on an aim to provide the listener with the
atmosphere of the group’s  live
performances (which, as it should be noted, generated more vertigo than that
experienced by listening to the Vertigo track).

The only thing left now is to live
this musical experience hoping that you will enjoy it as strongly as we do.
