Three years after the group’s same-titled tape release (eirma 05), eirkti is honored to provide the audience with additional musical works by this exceptional Greek minimal-punk act. The group’s birth as well as sonic progress throughout its adventurous life has already been discussed therefore, we will skip to the necessary details. The present release titled“Μουσικά ΑΝΤΙδοτα” (Moysika antidota translated as Musical ANTIdotes[1]), includes songs which first appeared in the original 1990 split Lp release (along with a group named Koinonika Apovlita; i.e., Social Waste in English) by the Wipe Out label. More precisely, the entire first side resurfaces five frantic synth punk compositions while the LP’s B-side includes one previously released track in the Fragmenta 7” vinyl compilation released in 1990 (i.e., Νεκρή Πλειοψηφία; Dead Majority in English) plus further compositions that were either circulated in limited-edition tapes or were well-kept in the group’s archives and do finally see the light of day.
This new and fuller edition of “Μουσικά ΑΝΤΙδοτα” further exemplifies ANTI…’s exemplary sound based on the intense use of synths, bass and drum-kit accompanied by an according riotous versification which altogether earned the band with a special place within the underground Greek scene. The listener is asked to calmly let him/herself loose and experience the genuinely-delivered arousing music of ANTI…. From the intensely captivating rhythm of ‘Εκπαιδευτικός Παροξυσμός’ (i.e., Ekpedeftikos Paroxysmos; Educational Paroxysm in English) to the electronic-punk alertness produced by ‘Αυταρχική Παρόρμηση’ (i.e., Aftarxiki Parormisi; Autocratic Impulse) and from the delirium generated by ‘Πανδαιμόνιο’ (i.e., Pandemonio; Pandemonium in English) to the smooth closure of ‘Τρυφερός Βλαστός’ (i.e., Triferos Vlastos; Tender Sprout in English). Eleven inspiring songs awaiting to be played really loud in your turntable. Comes in an edition of 500 copies. Moreover, copies are well-closed in a black garbage-bag while they include a poster plus a booklet.
