The Anti Group (T.A.G.C.) was founded in 1978 by Adi Newton and Steven James Turner as a multi-dimensional research and development project. They focused on sound, film, video, performance, and documentation. Their first works included the film "The Delivery" and the theater performance "The Discussion". TAG then concentrated on audio development, creating the highly acclaimed Ambisonic Album based on ancient Khem and Dogon tribe ideas. They later explored psychophysics and performed at various festivals. TAG also delved into Meontological visual experiments and collaborated with organizations to aid expanded consciousness. After years of research, they have returned to the music scene with new releases.
During their early years, The Anti Group (T.A.G.C.) developed a multi-dimensional research &amp; development project focusing on sound, film, video, performance, and documentation. Their first works included the film "The Delivery" and the theater performance "The Discussion". These were presented at De Doelen center in Rotterdam in 1985.
Afterwards, TAG shifted their focus to audio development. During this period from 1985 to 1987 they created recordings such as the Ambisonic Album which drew inspiration from Sabean cults of ancient Khem and Dogon tribe of Mali. They then explored psychophysics using frequencies and psychoacoustics with computer aided technology.

TAG / The Anti Group's new album, AMMA, begins where Digitaria album (TAGC, 1986) ends. The central theme focuses on the Dogon people (Mali / Burkina Faso) and their incredible cosmogony. The booklet takes up and deepens the scientific researches of the last 36 years on the mysteries of the Dogonian belief through texts, paintings and artistic assemblages by Adi Newton, while the album is a visionary mixture of sound strokes composed of sub-Saharan polyrhythms, ambient astral and deterritorialized space-jazz, accompanied by Adi Newton's nervous trumpet directly taken from Digitaria's ambisonic recordings.

AMMA carves out a very important space among the Newtonian discography being its most explicitly pictorial and mysterious album. AMMA has 7 original audio tracks and plays for a total of 67:20. Six tracks are unreleased while the seventh, Spiritual Psychosynthesis, is a more extended, desert and enigmatic version of the song already present in the Matar / TAG Flexi Disc.
