Anorectic is the third album of Negative.
Long expected longplay had its finnish premiere on 27.09.2006.
German Roadrunner Records launched it 2 days later on 29.09.2006.
Few words about the album.
Aggressive, rough, psychodelic, different.
Fans got used to hear those adjectives whenever and whoever asked their idols about Anorectic.
Now, as the album is available (finally!), it's high time to check if the guys were right.
In fact, there's been no overstatement.
Negative's new baby is a distillation of the rock'n'roll. Both War Of Love and Sweet & Deceitful,
sound very gently when compared to their follower.
But still it's brim over with melodious tracks, which finnish music is famous for.
Anorectic is neither a step back nor changing the musical route. It's still Negative.
But Negative much more adult, experienced, faithful to their inspirations,
consciously heading for the ultimate aims set out years ago.
Anorectic has been recorded in three different studios.
Traditionally, first came drums and bass lines.
Petrax studio in Hollola (near Lahti) has become the sextet's home for autumn and winter days,
where they were working on the albums's basic sound.
Next stage, in Negative's hometown - Tampere, belonged to the guitarists.
Larry and Christus fully endeavoured to
deliver a 'proper', rough sound.
Do you remember Larry's words 'All you mother-fuckers are going to faint when you will hear it' ?
Wasn't he right? In the end Jonne recorded his vocal-parts and Snack worked on keyboard arrangements.
Hiili Hiilesmaa, distingushed finnish producer, for all those long, busy months,
monitored the guys, encouraged to try their limits, gave them great support and simply did his best,
so that the album is doomed to become a mass hit.
Check out the videos which Negative was 'sevring' the fans
during their long lasting recording sessions:
