KI NARTOSABDHO - KLENEGAN NDANGDUT TAKIR PONTANG


Here's a nice cassette from Ki Nartosabdho, one of the giants of Middle-Javanese music, most of the cassette is a bit of the usual Ki Nartosabdho fare but the first song is way, way more swinging that his usual stuff (which is always great)and I've been playing it over and over tonight loving it....

BAND C'BLUES




Here's an album from Bandung band C'blues, this came out in 1972 and they always mention this band when they talk about Indonesian psych. Personally I wouldn't call C'blues a psych band, they're way more like The Mercy's and a bit like Freedom Of Rhapsodia... Got this one without the cover and the B side looks like they did a tap-dance contest on it but the recording came out pretty good, only a few little skips on that side....
