KELOMPOK KAMPUNGAN - MENCARI TUHAN

Here's the cassette version from Kelompok Kampungan's 1980 album Mencari Tuhan.... I posted the vinyl version HERE this version has a few more songs.... The vinyl and cassette are extremely rare, they both start out with the song Bung Karno, about Indonesia's first president Sukarno and it uses parts of a speech he made in 1964.... The Suharto regime was not amused and ordered all copies destroyed and banned the album and banned the band from performing.... It's a fantastic album, mixing prog-rock with folk and some traditional music.... GET IT HERE Enjoy!

FOOL MOON BAND

Back in the 90's I often went to the Fool Moon Parties in my hometown Rotterdam. Sometimes they were in the small forest there, the Kralingse Bos, or they were in Nightown, a discotheque/concert hall.... I was always dancing like crazy at those parties, people were invited to bring their own instruments (like 90% jembe's), later on they got a bit more organized and it would be just the Fool Moon Band playing.... In 1995 they put out this cassette.... Lot's of percussion, sitar, bells and didgeridoo.... GET IT HERE enjoy!
