<h3>Notes<a>▼</a></h3>

<p>4 CD box set (comes with space for 12 jewel cases), just in case you want to get the other 8&#8230;.</p>
<p>Ini reviewnya dari ALLMUSIC:</p>
<div id="review">
<h2 style="text-align:justify;">Review</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">by Greg Prato</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/grand-funk-railroad-p4392">Grand Funk Railroad</a> has certainly had their fare share of compilations released over the years &#8212; tops being the career-encompassing three-disc set from 1999, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/thirty-years-of-funk-r422418">Thirty Years of Funk</a>. But for longtime <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/grand-funk-p4392">Grand Funk</a> fans looking to replace their vinyl with remastered CDs, 2002&#8242;s <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/trunk-of-funk-r604590">Trunk of Funk</a> is a good way to start. Included are the group&#8217;s first four albums &#8212; their 1969 debut, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/on-time-r8487">On Time</a>, and their 1970 trio of releases (something that is unheard of nowadays by modern rock bands), <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/grand-funk-r8488">Grand Funk</a>, <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/closer-to-home-r8490">Closer to Home</a>, and <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/live-album-r8489">Live Album</a> &#8212; plus previously unreleased tracks. And for those planning on purchasing the other remastered <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/grand-funk-p4392">Grand Funk</a> CDs (which were released during the ensuing year), the folks at Capitol were kind enough to leave just the right amount of empty spaces in the case. Although <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/grand-funk-p4392">Grand Funk</a> was to enjoy their biggest commercial success a few years down the line (1973&#8242;s <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/were-an-american-band-r8497">We&#8217;re an American Band</a>), it&#8217;s the group&#8217;s early era that is often considered its peak by the headbanging crowd. And it&#8217;s easy to understand why after hearing the <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/artist/black-sabbath-p3693">Black Sabbath</a>-esque &#8220;Sin&#8217;s a Good Man&#8217;s Brother,&#8221; the turbo-charged &#8220;Are You Ready,&#8221; and the drum solo showcase &#8220;T.N.U.C.&#8221; If you&#8217;re still unsure about this set (which was limited edition &#8212; only 10,000 copies manufactured worldwide), here&#8217;s a special bit that may finally convince you &#8212; the inclusion of a pair of <a href="http://www.allmusic.com/album/shinin-on-r8499">Shinin&#8217; On</a> 3-D glasses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:small;"><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">By Hardani Kristanto</span><br />
</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Saya inget betul beli kaset ini di Duta Suara Sabang, tanya kenapa ?</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">1. Karena satu2nya kaset impor yang pernah saya beli, sekitar awal 1990-an, waktu itu seharga Rp.12,000 sementara kaset2 lainnya di sekitaran 7000-an.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">2. Salah satu kaset terakhir yang saya beli sebelum bertransformasi ke cakram CD impor (belinya sih juga di jalan Sabang). </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/00192.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3097" title="00192" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/00192.jpg?w=360&#038;h=480" alt="" width="360" height="480" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/00193.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3098" title="00193" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/00193.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Dulu biasanya saya ke Duta Suara, naik metromini P-27 dari Setiabudi (kos2-an) dan turun persis di depan toko nuansamatik tersebut. Saya inget juga kalau di lantai 2 toko tersebut waktu itu penuh dengan rak2 berisi CD, sementara kaset dapat porsi menempati lantai bawah. Saya belum tertarik beli CD waktu itu, karena selain harganya termasuk masih mahal buat ukuran orang yang masih baru bekerja, juga belum punya CD playernya, hehehe &#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Suatu ketika, temen kos yang kerja di Philips, Wajyu, nawarin campaign CD player di kantornya dan dapat diskon 40% karena karyawan, dan akhirnya saya terpaksa nguras tabungan untuk bisa beli player seharga 1,250,000 setelah diskon. Setelah punya CD player tersebut saya mulai tertarik membeli CD2 karena memang suaranya lebih jernih dan mantap, selain mudah scanning lagu yang dimaui. CD2 pertama yang aku beli adalah Marillion, Rush dan Pink Floyd, saya gak berani ambil resiko beli CD yg mahal untuk artis bahkan album2 baru yang belum saya kenal. Jadi apa referensinya waktu beli CD2 tersebut ? Ya kaset2 yang kebetulan sudah punya dan hapal lagu2nya, rekaman Yess lagi, hehehe &#8230; Singkat cerita, kartu kredit Citibank visa dan master-lah yang jadi sarana pelampiasan nafsu beli CD, sampai2 baru bisa saya tutup kartu2 tersebut sekitar akhir 90-an waktu alhamdulillah dapat bonus 2 bulan gaji di kantor, huahahaha ternyata koleksi CD saya banyak yang kreditan &#8230; KPR, KPM sih mahfum, lha ini KPC yang bukan Kaltim Prima Coal, tapi Kredit Pemilikan Compact disc &#8230;..</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Lho lho, kok jadi ngomongin yang lain, padahal judul tulisannya aja tentang kaset ?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Whooooaaaaaaa&#8230;..!!!!! Ampuuuuuuuun &#8230;&#8230;.!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Belum apa-apa saya kok mendapat teror SMS-SMS dahzyat yang menanyakan kapan koleksi CD Blind Guardian saya lepas. Waduh &#8230;.. Jujur aja saya sebenarnya masih ragu apakah ini akan saya lepas atau tidak meski saya pernah &#8220;keprucut&#8221; (Astaghfirullah!) ngomong akan melepasnya. Tapi kok ya eman-eman to? Soalnya gini lho:</p>
<ol style="text-align:justify;">
<li>Musik BG itu tergolong unik meski masuk dalam ranah power metal dengan sentuhan dikit di prog juga. Namun tetep aja menurut saya lebih ke power metal. Namun jangan salah lho, power metal yang gimana? Kalau lihat &#8216;jeg-e-jeg&#8221;nya sih ya pasti Anda setuju bahwa ini mah jelas &#8220;metal&#8221;. Namun coba Anda pikirkan lebih jauh lagi musiknya secara komprehensif &#8230;. Ada elemen apa yang menarik dari musik BG? Kalau di Rhapsody of Fire kelihatan kekhasan musiknya pada gitar solo Luca Turili yang suaranya kayak &#8220;laler&#8221; ijo itu, plus orkestrasinya yang mantab (coba simak album keduanya &#8216;Symphony of Enchanted Land&#8217; nan perkasa itu. Nah &#8230;kalau BG menurut saya justru di vokalnya yang unik. Keunikannya dimana? Pada gaya nyanyinya yang penuh aksentuasi dan melodinya sejalan dengan musik yang mengiringi. Vokal seperti ini cocoknya buat bikin opera. Kebayang gak rock operanya Harry Roesli diaransir ulang oleh Blind Guardian &#8230;.whoooaaa&#8230;&#8230;.dijamin kueren gemuren tuwenaaaaan &#8230;.!!! Tapi tentu gak hanya vokal yang bagus, namun memang komposisinya bulet banget dah. Ini band memang hebat!</li>
<li>Album konsepnya bertajuk Nightfall on Middle-Earth yang <a href="http://gwmusic.wordpress.com/?s=nightfall">pernah saya bahas di blog</a> gemblunk tanpa tujuan jelas ini juga bisa dianggap MASTERPIECE. Gak tanggung2 &#8230;saya berani memberi review BINTANG LIMA bahkan mungkin sejajar dengan The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway tapi dalam ranah power metal. Wuiiih &#8230;..!!! ALbum ini conceptually brilliant! Pertama punya kasetnya (bukan rekaman Yess) trus beli CDnya &#8230;.. Huwebatttss!!! Yang gak setuju album ini mendapat bintang lima, maka hidupnya akan dilanda kecemasan luar biasa karena berselisih pendapat dengan saya &#8230; ha ha ha ha ha ha ha &#8230;.. <em>Ojok percoyo rek! Wong dasare blog iki gemblunk, ora usah percoyo kamek omonganku &#8230; Soale kabeh nggladrah pol!</em></li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dengan hanya dua fakat di atas, bantulah saya menjawab the following strategic question:</p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Perlukah saya melego koleksi Blind Guardian?</span></h3>
<p>Mohon pencerahannya &#8230;.</p>

<p>Review by <a href="http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=405"><strong>Gatot</strong></a><br />
<span style="color:#dc143c;"><strong>SPECIAL COLLABORATOR</strong> <em>Honorary Collaborator</em></span></p>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><img src="http://www.progarchives.com/static-images/5stars.gif" alt="5 stars" border="0" /> <span style="color:#0000ff;">I owned this album long time ago &#8211; it&#8217;s probably three years ago &#8211; through my metal head friend, Hengky, who was a big fan of the band. Hearing the band&#8217;s name, I was not interested at all because I thought that this must be a true metal band full of distortions and heavy riffs. But when I saw this album in the form of cassette displayed at one of local CD stores, I purchased it anyway &#8211; to give a try and proved what Hengky advised me. In typical gathering, it&#8217;s usual that we &#8211; all friends who love metal, classic rock, prog rock &#8211; influence one to another for certain band&#8217;s music. Usually I was only interested with those related to classic rock or prog rock. So when I knew that Blind Guradian was pigeon-holed as power metal band, I was not too keen to explore further.</span><span style="color:#0000ff;">But from the cassette of &#8220;Nightfall in Middle Earth&#8221; I can grab the nuance and style of the music even though the sonic quality of the cassette was not that good. So, after I had the cassette for a couple of months, finally I purchased the CD as well. BOOM! With CD format I could get the subtleties (not just the nuance!) of the music this album produces. It&#8217;s so wonderful and I did enjoy it very much. By then I kept repeating to spin the CD over and over in its entirety. That&#8217;s the beauty of this album: it should be enjoyed in its entirety because the music tells a continuous story &#8211; without having to know what the story is all about.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">As human being, there is a tendency to review or evaluate something by making a reference to something else. So, when I listen to this album I made a reference to other music and since this is a concept album based on JRR Tolkien&#8217;s Silmarillion, I don&#8217;t know why, out of the blue the &#8220;The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway&#8221; by Genesis come into my mind. You might be wondeting WHY The Lamb? Isn&#8217;t totally different kind of music? How can you compare such legendary album by the seniors of prog music with the kids in Blind Guardian? Hold your thoughts for a second!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">I have grown myself with such old school legendary prog bands like Genesis, Yes and the like. I adore them and as far as Genesis concern, The Lamb Lies Down is the band&#8217;s best album throughout their entire music career. I know, the album was created when the band was in shaky situation when Peter Gabriel tendered his resignation to pursue a solo career. But the music created was so wonderful. Even though the story was quite absurd and there were many different kind of interpretations to the lyrics, but the music sounds like telling a coherent story. I still love the album until now!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">So,</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Is Nightfall as BIG as The Lamb?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Well, it depends .</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">If you are a die hard fan of old school prog music, you might say that the music that was created after the glory days of 70s is a repetition of what it was made in the 70s. And, it&#8217;s nothing wrong with that. I understand your situation and I respect it. There were strong elements of old prog music that are repeated in nowadays prog music. You might feel there is no new invention, musically, that the modern music delivers. I have a lot of friends who have this opinion firmly and they dare to say outloud that they hate what Marillion had done in 80s because it&#8217;s a rip off Genesis. Some of my friends even say that metal music is nonsense because there is no harmony, it&#8217;s just making LOUD music &#8211; that&#8217;s it. Even some of them say that Dream Theater and progressive metal music are not good at all &#8211; so boring. Well, are you in this box? If so, you should not own this album by Blind Guardian.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">But, It&#8217;s not the case with me. Yes, I&#8217;m an adorer of old school prog &#8211; I even sometimes had tears in my eyes enjoying &#8220;Fly on A Windshiled&#8221; from Genesis The Lamb album. But in mid 90s started to know Dream Theater and later I liked the music delivered by Helloween, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarious, Royal Hunt, etc. and later I knew Kamelot. So, I have two sides of a coin: the prog site of old school prog and the metal side of modern music. Thanks God .. I enjoy both of them. In fact, I have tears in my eyes listening to Kamelot &#8220;Ghost Opera&#8221; as well as Blind Guardian&#8217;s &#8220;Nightfall in Middle Earth&#8221;.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">So, right there deep in my heart I can compare this album by Blind Guardian at par excellent with old school The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis. It&#8217;s quite weird statement, isn&#8217;t it? But, believe me, I&#8217;m NOT a weirdo!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>So why ..?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Story oriented music.</strong> Yes, I said above that this album is very anchored to the story line. You can hear the nuance where the lead vocalist Hansi Kursch sings &#8211; in a way like telling something in well designed story line. Look at how he emotionally deliver all lyrical passages with its strong accentuations, nuances of the story as well as the combination of ups and downs in register notes. The lyrical passages sound quite uplifting like during The Storm: &#8220;We are following the will of the one / Through the dark age and into the storm / And we are following the will of the one / Through the dark age and into the storm / Lord I&#8217;m mean&#8221; followed by wonderful music. It&#8217;s really uplifting.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Powerful storyline.</strong> Both The Lamb and Nightfall are pretty strong in storyline. In the case of Nightfall, it&#8217;s rooted in and inspired by JRR Tolkien&#8217;s Silmarillion. I have not read the book yet but from the lyrical point of view I can see that the beginning part of the story reminds me to the story of Lord of the Rings. Remember when Smeagle tok the ring from his friend by killing him at the opening of the movie? Basically, the music and the story blends nicely in this Nightfall album.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Tight composition.</strong> This album has a pretty tight composition with relatively high density of combined notes in relatively short period. Style wise, this is a prog album because it has many style changes and tempo changes. The choices of melody are also excellent because there are variations from one song to another with thematic bridges between songs.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Under the banner of Genesis The Lamb, I can have the title track, Fly on a Windshield, In The Cage The Lamia, Anyway, Carpet Crawlers as strong compositions. In nightfall, I have powerful tracks as well like Into The Storm, Nightfall, The Curse of Feanor, Blood Tears, Noldor, etc.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Conclusion</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">You might think I am exaggerating the matter. Honestly, NO. I just want to put thing into perspective that good creation does not necessarily mean something really new that has never been invented before. More importantly, I want to break the barriers or thoughts that generally say: &#8220;There is nothing special after the glory days of 70s&#8221; because Nightfall proves to be a wonderful album. In other word, good music can even be created under modern days. The old adage says: <strong>The great discovery does not lie on inventing new land but looking at existing land with different angle.</strong>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Keep on proggin&#8217; .! And you MUST BUY this album man .!!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">JRENG!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Rehat dulu ngomongin kaset Yess &#8230;untuk sementara waktu &#8230;..  Sekarang sedikit kita bicara tentang atribut terkait prog rock. Dulu selagi masih sekolah SMP dan SMA saya paling suka pakai tas yang diberi coretan tangan pake spidol Artline 70. Saat itu spidol baru saja ditemukan dan merupakan kebanggan anak2 sekolah kalau menggunakan spidol ini. Bagi penyuka musik prog rock maka tas saya penuh coretan grup2 rock / prog yang kondang saat itu. Paling seneng saya menuliskan Yes, Led Zeppelin dan Jethro Tull. Saat itu saya memang belum begitu kenal Genesis kecuali album Nursery Cryme. Kalau pake tas penuh coretan, rasanya &#8220;gimana&#8230;&#8221; gitu lho &#8230;..</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nah &#8230;itu dulu &#8230; Sekarang jaman berubah dan sering ketemu klien. Kalau pake spidol kan jadi norak, dikirain wong mbambung &#8230;.Bisa gak laku dagangan sebagai konsultan. Makanya saya siasati dengan menggunakan pin dengan logo-logo rock &#8230;. Ini dia ransel yang sering saya pakai:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/ransel-progger.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3073" title="Ransel Progger" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/ransel-progger.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p>Saya masih punya banyak koleksi pin yang selalu saya gonta-ganti pake di ransel kerja ini &#8230; Kalau pake ransel seperti ini, melangkah kerja terasa pede banget &#8230;.He he he he &#8230;.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Review by <a href="http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=405"><strong>Gatot</strong></a><br />
<span style="color:#dc143c;"><strong>SPECIAL COLLABORATOR</strong> <em>Honorary Collaborator</em></span></p>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><img src="http://www.progarchives.com/static-images/4stars.gif" alt="4 stars" border="0" /> Having known the band since its excellent debut album, I am really happy that Rob Reed and friends have finally made another new release with this Chameleon album. I did not expect much actually but when I had this album I was quite surprised with the kind of music Magenta is offering. Out of their releases I think only Home (2006) that does not stand out in my view. And now Magenta is back with another excellent album.<strong>Jump!</strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s what I did the first time I spun this album through its excellent opening. The album kicks-off beautifully with Glitterball in relatively up tempo, energetic music dominated by inventive keyboard work and powerful vocal. It&#8217;s really a great opener and it has successfully set the overall tone of the album. It&#8217;s been quite sometime that I do not play any album from Magenta ? and this album stimulates me to play their previous works. In the middle of the song there is a kind of break with guitar solo that makes this song sounds excellent overall.</p>
<p>The next track Guernica starts mellow with soft female vocal followed then with a dynamic music that brings together an excellent combination of keyboard, solid basslines, guitar and drumming. When the music is in full speed I can find great harmony of the music combining contributions of instruments being played. This track gives us great break with stunning acoustic guitar work. There is element of orchestration throughout the track that enriches overall composition.</p>
<p>Breathe is another excellent track in a style that is similar with previous tracks with the music that suddenly stops after hard opening part. The music returns back to up tempo with powerful vocal &#8220;It&#8217;s getting hard to breathe&#8221;. What is so captivating about this track is its heavy riffs and many segments of the music. Even though the music contains heavy riffs, it does not sound like a progressive metal work.</p>
<p>Turn The Tide starts off with an ambient vocal work backed with soft keyboard work. The vocal line of Christina Booth sounds nice right here. The music moves in mellow style with nice guitar work and basslines. Book of Dreams brings the music back to relatively medium tempo. For those who love excellent guitar solo, you fill find it in the middle of the track ? performed in a bluesy style. It moves really well from one segment to another.</p>
<p>Reflections is basically a short track featuring acoustic guitar work ? a nice piece of music for a break, really. Raw blasts off nicely with guitar followed with excellent guitar. The song is basically very strong in melody and harmony enriched with guitar work at background. The orchestration is good even though it sounds like a filler ? but it&#8217;s OK.</p>
<p>The Beginning of the End is another good track that functions as providing a break because the composition is relatively straightforward. Red concludes the album nicely with a style that starts off with an ambient keyboard work supporting the vocal line. The track moves slowly into relatively medium tempo music with good guitar work. The interlude part in the middle of the track is a bit of psychedelic in nature prior to re-entrance of vocal work.</p>
<p>Overall, I think this is a recommended album for those who love neo progressive as well as symphonic prog music. The album sounds cohesive from start to end. The composition is excellent in terms of melody, harmonies produced from all instruments used in the album, relatively simple in structure but it still provide challenges to the listeners. Keep on proggin&#8217; &#8230;!</p>
<p>Peace on earth and mercy mild &#8211; GW</p>

Band ini sebenernya reuni anggota band kawakan The YARDBIRDS dengan bertemunya tiga pemainnya yaitu Chris Dreja (gitar), Paul Samwell-Smith (bass) dan Jim McCarty. Mereka sudah lama tak jumpa sejak 1968 dan membentuk Box of Frogs in di tahun 1984.  Pada album debutnya ada pemain tamu Jeff Beck dan pada album Strange Land ini ada nama2 beken seperti Jimmy Page, Rory Gallagher dan Steve Hackett.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Karena ini adalah rekaman Yess, maka saat beberapa tahun lalu saya nemu CDnya, ya saya beli juga, soalnya rekaman Yess kan pasti musiknya jaminan mutu to? He he he he he &#8230;. Tadi malam saya menikmati versi kasetnya dengan kualitas suara yang sangat ciamik kemlipik pol! He he he &#8230; Yess gitu loh ..!!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Alo mas G n rekan-rekan progger yang aku kagumi, setelah dapat info penjual kaset gedhongan Yess di <a href="http://tokobagus.com/" target="_blank">tokobagus.com</a> dari mas Kris, iseng-iseng aku kontak sang kolektor dan setelah dapat info sebagian kecil koleksi beliau akhirnya aku coba order beberapa kaset gedhongan untuk nambah koleksiku yang masih sedikit sekali (kurang dari 5% dari koleksi Yess mas G <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> ).<br />
Kemarin orderanku nyampe di kantor, walah senengnya hati ini rek..</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00799.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3058" title="DSC00799" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00799.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00800.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3059" title="DSC00800" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00800.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
Buat order perdana ini aku ambil:<br />
1. Gentle Giant &#8220;civilian&#8221;<br />
2. Gong &#8220;gazeuse!&#8221;<br />
3. Yessongs 1<br />
4. Yessongs 2<br />
Seneng banget bisa dapet Gong yang ternyata asik musiknya sama seperti yang dikatakan mas G.</p>
<p>GG aku ambil karena memang belum pernah dengar album ini yang katanya sudah gak rumit lagi musiknya seperti album-album terdahulu mereka, disamping itu &#8220;civilian&#8221; kalo gak salah adalah album perpisahan GG sebelum bubar.</p>
<p>Yessongs, meski hampir semua lagu di kompilasi ini sudah gak asing lagi tapi unik juga kalo punya kompilasi Yes dalam bentuk kaset gedhongan Yess <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Kondisi kasetnya masih terbilang baik,mulus.. Harganyapun masih masuk akal, kecuali koleksi Monalisa dan Apple yang dibanderol 60ribu per kaset-nya.  Sayang tadi pagi di kantor baru sempet denger Gong dan battery walkmanku keburu soak.. Apes d..</p>
<p>Monggo rekan-rekan yang mau hunting Yess mungkin bisa kontak mas Gunawan via<a href="http://tokobagus.com/" target="_blank">tokobagus.com</a><br />
Bro Apec mungkin? <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Keep our prog spirit alive..<br />

<p style="text-align:justify;">Begini jadinya jika cita-cita remaja jadi produser musik gak kesampaian akibatnya suka iseng rekam sana sini, pretending being a sound engineer as well as producer, hahaha..Aku memang menikmati rekam-rekam sendiri lagu-lagu yang aku suka dari media cd atau mp3 ke pita kaset atau dri mp3 ke cd. Tapi ya untuk konsumsi sendiri aja (karena kalo dijual gak punya perangkat multi duplicate nya n takut kena pasal pembajakan, wah ngeri..)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00797.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3053" title="DSC00797" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00797.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00798.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3054" title="DSC00798" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00798.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dua kaset rekaman ini adalah contohnya. Kali ini giliran Marillion &amp; GFR yang aku jadiin obyek.</p>
<p>Marillion &#8220;the singles 82-88&#8243; aku &#8220;edit&#8221; dari box set Marillion The Singles 82-88.<br />
Sulit sekali memilah sekian banyak lagu yang ada di kompilasi Marillion ini karena disamping ada 3 keping cd dalam box set-nya plus semua lagunya aku suka tapi cuma punya 1 blank tape saja. Setelah proses comot-comot lagu yang gak gampang akhirnya jadi juga kaset kompilasi ini. Niatnya akan ada vol. 2 tapi belum kesampaian juga.<br />
Pastinya kompilasi ini belum bisa mewakili semua karya indah Marillion, masih banyak yang terlewat. Tapi aku usahakan bisa mewakili rentang waktu 82-88.</p>
<p>Band of Hippies: Grand Funk Railroad aku comot sana-sini dari box set GFR, sama ada 3 keping cd juga dan gak gampang pilih lagu yang akan aku rekam. Kayaknya hasil akhirnya lebih ngawur dari kaset Marillion karena banyak banget karya &#8220;best&#8221; GFR yang aku missed. Sadar akan kelemahan ini aku gak berani kasih judul &#8220;best of GFR&#8221; tapi cukup &#8220;band of hippies: GFR&#8221; tanpa embel-embel best atau hits.</p>
<p>Soal kualitas hasil rekamannya masih jauh dari sempurna, asal gak &#8220;mendem&#8221; aku sudah seneng banget <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Thanks to mas G and all my humble prog friends who stop by and read this..</p>
<p>Enjoy progclaro everyday..<br />

<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas G, maaf mau ngerepotin lagi nyumbang postingan. Moga-moga berkenan dan asik buat bahan obrolan di blog.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00795.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3048" title="DSC00795" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00795-e1326276192915.jpg?w=360&#038;h=480" alt="" width="360" height="480" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00796.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3049" title="DSC00796" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00796-e1326276252744.jpg?w=360&#038;h=480" alt="" width="360" height="480" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00791.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3050" title="DSC00791" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00791.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cd album Klaatu ini aku dapatkan di toko musik yang lumayan komplit koleksi progclaro nya di PIM 2 (aku lupa nama tokonya) waktu lagi jalan-jalan bareng istri. Dengan negosiasi yang tumben gak terlalu alot dengan istri akhirnya bisa juga kebeli sekeping cd ini. Kebetulan banget aku nemuin 2 album pertama Klaatu yang dikemas dalam 1 keping cd dengan harga ok, padahal di Musik + Sarinah pernah ketemu album perdana Klaatu dibandrol dengan harga yang sama. Jadi langsung aku samber pas liat &#8220;box set&#8221; ini.<br />
Sebenarnya beberapa tahun sebelumnya aku sempat beli loakan kaset Klaatu rilisan Perina (photo attached) di loakan Jatinegara tapi pikir-pikir boleh juga lah punya cd nya sekalian,hehe..</p>
<p>Klaatu yang sekampung sama Rush dan Saga pernah &#8220;dicurigai&#8221; sebagai Beatles yang ganti nama karena katanya musik dan vokalnya ada kemiripan. Memang waktu pertama kali dengar kasetnya aku juga kaget karena vokal nya mirip vokal McCartney terutama di lagu &#8220;sub rosa subway&#8221; tapi setelah disimak betul-betul semua lagu mereka, pastinya ini bukan Beatles cuma mirip.</p>
<p>Mirip Beatles atau bukan menurutku musik Klaatu cukup asik dinikmati terutama dengan strings arrangement yang hampir selalu muncul di semua lagu. Bahkan di primbon mbah wiki Klaatu dikategorikan sebagai group proggressive juga..nah yang ini aku perlu tanya pendapat guruku mas G, gimana penilaian beliau. Apa Klaatu layak dikategorikan beraliran prog atau ndak. Dan jika iya berarti mereka bukan Beatles karena Beatles gak prog.. (but I love both of them <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>
<p>Fill your days with prog..<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">By Hardani Kristanto</span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="text-align:justify;">Met pagi mas, sesuai janji saya kemarin foto kaset Supertramp rilisan Yess ini saya kirimkan.<br />
Kaset dengan no urut 703 ini, kemungkinan dirilis menjelang Yess tutup, hehehe sekitar tahun berapa ya perekam ini disbanded ?</div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img-00179.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3043" title="IMG-00179" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img-00179.jpg?w=360&#038;h=480" alt="" width="360" height="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img-00184.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3044" title="IMG-00184" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img-00184.jpg?w=360&#038;h=480" alt="" width="360" height="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;">Kaset ini saya dapatkan tanggal 17 Dec 1988, sebagaimana yang saya tulis dibalik covernya. Tanda yang jelas kalau kaset ini bekas ya adanya tanda tangan pemilik sebelumnya seperti terlihat di foto terlampir.<br />
Di album ini rupanya suara khas vocal Roger Hodgson sudah tidak terdengar lagi, karena ternyata founding father Supertramp ini (selain Rick Davis) memang udah cabut untuk solo karir.<br />
Dan vocalnya justru muncul di side B yang merupakan lagu pelengkap, disunting dari album mereka yang paling sukses &#8220;Breakfast in America&#8221;, tuh liat aja yang saya buletin hitam berarti nomor2 yang saya sukai, hehehe &#8230;</div>
<div style="text-align:justify;">Oya setau saya masih ada rekaman Yess lainnya yakni Supertramp yang &#8220;Brother Where You Bound&#8221;, yang masih jadi buruan saya dan blom ketemu juga, hayo siapa punya en mau barteran dengan CD Trivium atau Soundgarden, hehehe &#8230;<br />
Lho lho koq jadi kayak mau nulis tret nih, padahal niatnya mau kirim fotonya aja. Maklum kalau udah ngomongin kaset Yess, maunya ngladrah kemana mana &#8230;</div>
<div style="text-align:justify;">Wass.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">By Hardani Kristanto</span></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Belum lama, sekilas ada komen diblog ini yang menyinggung tentang supergrup Asia. Saya jadi inget kalau punya rekaman Yess-nya, dan asli saya beli dari Toko kaset Popeye Yogya yang penuh kenangan itu. Tadi malam akhirnya kesampaian juga untuk muter band yang saya kenal jaman kuliahan ini.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Saya cuma punya 2 kaset album grup ini, yang &#8220;Alpha&#8221; dan &#8220;Astra&#8221;. Saya nggak ingat kenapa saya sampai nggak punya album debut Asia yang self title itu, saya juga ngga tahu apakah Yess merekamnya. Cuma dulu sempat punya kasetnya, tapi rekaman Team record, dan menghilang entah kemana &#8230;<br />
Sebetulnya kaset rekaman Yess ini, untuk band tahun 80-an terasa kurang mantep, suaranya mendem, gebukan drum juga kering samar2. Ternyata yang rekaman CDnya pun juga sama serupa, kering kemlotak, beda banget sama JRENGnya trio Kanada, Rush.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img-20120107-00175.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3037" title="IMG-20120107-00175" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img-20120107-00175.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a><br />
Grup ini seringkali dibilang &#8220;less of prog scene&#8221;, banyak disindir para kritikus musik karena terlalu nge-pop untuk ukuran level musisinya yang notabene jawara prog dan juga  jebolan dari sekolah prog ternama, siapa gak kenal Steve Howe (Yes), Carl Palmer (ELP), John Wetton (King Crimson), ataupun Geoffrey Downes (Yes &#8220;Drama&#8221;) &#8230;<br />
Memang kalau kita tilik karya2 mereka macam &#8220;Heat of the moment&#8221;, &#8220;True Colors&#8221;, &#8220;Don&#8217;t Cry&#8221;, ataupun &#8220;Wishing&#8221; cenderung nge-pop, catchy rock, atau mungkin yang sering disebut sebagai AOR (adult oriented rock ?). Bisa jadi juga mungkin inilah yang mereka kejar, alasan pasar atau uang, terbukti lagu2 tersebut memang berhasil menembus top charts, sebagaimana yang pernah dilakukan oleh grup Yes dengan &#8220;90125&#8243;nya, siapa gak kenal nomor &#8220;opo ono wong liwat&#8221; eh &#8220;Owner of the lonely heart&#8221; yang juga menembus Billboard Top 100 ? Hayo, coba ingat2 lagu progressive apa yang mampu menembus top charts ??</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img-20120107-00177.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3038" title="IMG-20120107-00177" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img-20120107-00177.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img-20120107-00176.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3039" title="IMG-20120107-00176" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img-20120107-00176.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Album Asia yang paling berbau progressive menurut saya justru album ke5 yang berjudul &#8220;Aqua&#8221; (heran juga, grup ini paling hobby kasih judul album pake initial awal &#8220;A&#8221;, alpha &#8211; astra &#8211; aqua &#8211; archiva &#8211; arena &#8211; aura, dan entah a apalagi !). Mungkin juga karena peran Steve Howe yang sempet jadi guest star di album yang lagi2 covernya digarap oleh Roger Dean, gak percaya ? Coba aja denger nomor kayak &#8220;A far cry&#8221; atau &#8220;Aqua pt.1&#8243; yang instrumental itu. Sayangnya album yang covernya menurut saya salah satu karya Roger Dean terindah ini, ngga ada rekaman Yess-nya (laha wong rilis tahun 90-an), jadi ya ngga aku foto, kuatir merusak aroma dan nuansa Yess yang gedhongan pol …<br />
Biar gak progressive, sing penting rekaman Yess gitu lhoh !</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Let the YESS time roll !</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Apapun musiknya, yang penting sumbernya kaset Yess!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ha ha ha ha ha ha &#8230;.malam ini bener2 Nuansamatik Night karena saya pengen melepas penat dengan cara yang non-progresip &#8230;.. Ituah nikmatnya penikmat musik PROG, semua aliran musik bisa dicerna lumayan mulus, apalagi yang sifatnya ada unsur easy listening kayak kaset yang saat ini saya dengarkan. Wah &#8230;bener-bener nuansamati dalam beberapa hal, selain ini adalah kaset Yess yang sudah pasti jaminan mutu.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img06807-20120109-2124.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3033" title="IMG06807-20120109-2124" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img06807-20120109-2124.jpg?w=360&#038;h=480" alt="" width="360" height="480" /></a></p>
<div style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img06808-20120109-2126.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3034" title="IMG06808-20120109-2126" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/img06808-20120109-2126.jpg?w=360&#038;h=480" alt="" width="360" height="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<ul style="text-align:justify;">
<li>Pertama, kaset ini tergolong &#8216;nyleneh&#8217; dalam kamus permusikan menurut kaidah perekam kaset Yess karena jelas musiknya tidak rock, apalagi prog, namun juga bukan pop. Musiknya bisa digolongkan easy listening jazzchestra. Opo kuwi? Ya musik klasik semacam Paul Mauriat gitu tapi ada sentuhan jazz-nya juga meski nyempil gak terlalu kentara banget. Yah, definisi sederhananya adalah musik yang biasa saya sebut sebagai lobby music. Definisi baru kah? Bukan juga &#8230;ini cuman definisi saya pribadi tentang musik yang biasanya kita dengan sembari duduk di lobby hotel menunggu janjian sama klien atau siapa gitu. Biasanya hotel suka nyetel musik bukan? Yang jelas gak mungkin musiknya Led Zeppelin, Genesis, atau apa lagi Lamb of God! Biasanya musik klasik ringan begitulah &#8230;you know what I mean lah &#8230;.!</li>
<li>Kedua, ini yang lebih penting &#8230;.. Karena bener-bener sifat nuansamatiknya ada di sini jal! Di side A lagu kedua yang juga sebagai album title &#8220;On The Move&#8221; musiknya bener-bener indah: musik klasik menghentak dalam alunan orkestra nan rancak dibarengi groove yang bagus dalam sentuhan jazzy (bukan jazz ya, tapi jazzy &#8230;.nyenggol2 dikit ke jazz, begitulah &#8230;). Pokoke, dijamin kalau Anda mendengarkan lagu pasti langsung JRENG! masuk di ulu ati paling dalam, gak peduli Anda adalah progger, rocker, jazzer atau dang-duter sekalipun! Wis pokoke &#8230;huwenak tuwenaaaaan!!!</li>
<li>Ketiga, ini lebih nuansamatik kemlitik lagi dibandingkan butir dua di atas. Namun ini juga masih terkait lagu On The Move. Apa pasal? Ceritanya&#8230;.di Bandung dulu ada pemancar FM baru namanya KLCBS yang konsisten di jalur jazz hingga kini! Luar biasa kan &#8230;musik yang diputar di radio FM ini khusus musik jazz saja dan pendengarnya sangat segmented, namun ini radio masih bertahan sampe sekarang dan makin berkualitas siarannya. Nah &#8230;KLCBS setiap buka warung (siaran) di pagi hari jam 5 theng selalu nyetel lagu pembukanya adalah &#8220;On The Move&#8221; ini juga! Biyuh &#8230; tambah njungkel po ra jal? Pokoke jiyaaaaan &#8230;.nuansamatik dah! Kadang saya bangun tidur khusus saya belain pagi2 khusus mau mendengarkan lagu ini dikumandangkan di KLCBS. Padahal, saat itu saya sudah punya kaset ini yang saya beli karena &#8220;Yess&#8221; nya bukan siapa musisi yang main. Lha .. jaman segitu mana saya tahu si Rogier van Otterloo ini!</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nuansamatik bukan? Tentu&#8230;&#8230;bagi saya. Mungkin tidak bagi Anda. Tapi saya sarankan cari kaset ini dah, sampe dapet. Pasti suka sekai sama &#8220;On The Move&#8221;. Tapi jangan coba-coba nego sama saya berapa ini kaset saya lepas ya &#8230; Lha kok nyimut!!! Nilai historisnya super duper tinggi &#8230;.meski sudah punya CDnya, tak kan mau kulepas. Prek! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha &#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Selain lagu On The Move, semua lagunya tergolong enak renyah dikunyah dan langsung suka. Track pembukanya &#8220;Go On Forever&#8221; itu ada vocal cewek dan melodinya huwenak nunjek ulu ati, merasuk rempelo&#8230;.Biyuuuuuhhhh!!! Lagu2 lainnya juga sedap dinikmati. Disarankan menikmati ini sambil nyruput kopi tubruk yang disedu dengan air panas mendidih, didengarkan sambil ngelamun dan besoknya mau ujian mid-term &#8230;..whooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa&#8230;&#8230;! What a life man!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Hayo &#8230;jujur &#8230;siapa yang sebelumnya sudah pernah denger nama Rogier Van Otterloo ini? Ngaku aja &#8230;..ha ha ha ha &#8230;. Pasti gak pernah denger &#8211; lha wong gak rock, apalagi prog! Kalaupun Anda tahu ini keluaran Yess saat itu, akan Anda belikah kaset ini? Tentu! Lha wong AHA aja diembat kok &#8230; Apalagi Rogier ini!!! Kalaupun ada Ayu Ting Ting rekaman Yess pasti Anda juga beli. Lha wong bukan rekaman Yess aja Anda beli kok &#8230;..Wakakakakakakakakak &#8230;.. Pas lagi baca blog ini aja sok prog &#8230;..ha ha ha ha ha ha &#8230;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Wis ah &#8230;tambah gemblunk aku!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">NB. Ini kaset saya beli pas liburan semester di Jakarta, tanggal 28 Januari 1982. Sampe sekarang sonic audio qualitynya masih hebring. Apa lagi kalau diputer di Tandberg TCD-310 Mark II &#8230;.BLENG!!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Tadi malam saya sedang di toko penrangkat son sistem. Yang jelas yang mau saya beli bukannya CD player tapi malahan tape deck! Ha ha ha ha &#8230;.. Aneh nih &#8230;udah jaman digital kok malahan beli perangkat analog, kaset pulak! Tapi yang penting nuansamatik! Punya banyak kaset kok ndak beli pemutar kaset yang bagus?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pada saat saya sedang son cek kualitas suara dari pemutar kaset bikinan Norwegia dengan merek dagang TANDBERG, wah &#8230;.suaranya muantab tenan&#8230;.. Yang dipake buat son cek bukan Pink Floyd Dark Side of The Moon tapi kaset rekaman Yess yang gak jelas band nya apa. Gak penting itu! Yang jelas rekaman Yess gedhongan ajah! Whoooaaa&#8230; saya puas dan sudah siap mau saya bayar tuh toko son sistem yang jual, di jalan Cikapundung, Bandung. Giliran mau keluarin dompet &#8230;eh adzan Subuh berkumandang &#8230;. Astaghfirullah! Ternyata saya mimpi! Whoadouwww!!!!! Mimpi yang indah! Mana lebih penting, mimpi atau ke masjid? Ke masjid!!!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Saking indahnya mimpi tersebut, masih saja terus terngiang hingga kini. Saya jadi teringat dengan tape deck TANDBERG yang pernah saya miliki saat kuliah dulu. Suaranya sangat nendhank. Bassnya bener2 bulet dan treblenya halus, gak murahan blas! Midrange-nya jelas sampe seolah suara Peter Gabriel nyodok ke kuping saya! Pokoknya Nakamichi Dragon aja putus! Dulu saya beli di Cikapundung dengan harga yang mahal sekali: Rp. 125 ribu! Inget jal &#8230;itu tahun 1982 lho! Duwit segitu banyak be&#8217;eng wong kiriman bulanan saya aja cumak Rp. 50 ribu! Setelah beli itu tape deck, saya bawa ke Koh Sek Liang yang rumahnya di Jl Taman Cibunut buat disetel dulu headnya. Koh ini memang ahlinya Tandberg di Bandung. Dia lah satu2nya ahli di Bandung yang faham banget dengan seluk beluk tape deck Tandberg ini. Saya beli dua kali saat itu, beda tipe, karena yang satu dipake kakak saya, Jokky, di Jakarta.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Salah satu kelebihan Tandberg adalah menggunakan motor dua sehingga pemutar kasetnya dua-duanya muter. Kalau di tape deck konvensional kan hanya satu motornya. Ini yang membuat kaset yang diputar di Tandberg kagak penah mbliyut (Jowo) alias babaliyut (Sundo). Makanya waktu dulu jaman kuliah di Bandung saya paling suka nyetel Mike Oldfield &#8220;Poison Arrows&#8217; (album Discoveries) atau &#8216;Tom Sawyer&#8217; nya Rush dalam volume kuwenchenk di pagi hari &#8211; biar semangat kuliah. Biyuh &#8230; Muantebh ndhredegh &#8230;(istilah Bang Ijal nih &#8230;.). Kalau udah gini lupa dah sama kualitas turntable karena tape deck Tandberg memang doahzyat! (saking semangatnya sampe muncrat nih cipratan ludah dari mulut &#8230;.ha ha ha ha disgusting man &#8230;.!!!).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sayang&#8230;.saya tak menyimpan foto tape deck saya nan nuansamatik itu &#8230;. Yang ada kok foto son sistem saya tanpa Tandberga: Fisher tape deck (lupa tipe apa), amplifier NAD tipe 3030, dan sepasang loudspeaker AR 18. Ingat jal! Saat itu masih mahasiswa lho ..punya perangkat kek gini tergolong WAH saat itu. Temen kos2an saya paling pake mini kompor yang watt nya aja pake PMPO kayak Pak Pung Oil ajah! Paling banter ada tetangga yang pake son siistem standar: Tape Deck Sony, amplinya Sanusi trus speakernya merek Tawon. Prek! Kalah jauh sama punya saya &#8230;..! Sehingga kalau pagi hari hanya kamar saya yang super duper nendhank gumlandhank gelondangan &#8230;.JRENG! &#8220;A modern-day warrior Mean mean stride, Today&#8217;s Tom Sawyer Mean mean pride!&#8221; DHUK DHUK DHUK JRUEEENG!!!!!!</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Pertanyaan buat temen2:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mumpung sekarang lagi demam kaset, sebaiknya beli tape deck apa ya? Mungkin Bro apec sudi kiranya berbagi ilmu? Saya pake Walkman kok rasanya kurang nendhank, suara suka gak stabil &#8230;. Ayo Bro Apec, mbok berbagi ilmu tape deck nya &#8230;. Tandberg saya sudah dimakan jaman, gak tahu kemana tuh &#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas G, mohon ijin mau kirim postingan lagi. Moga-moga belum pernah muncul di blog tapi rasanya ndak mungkin, yah sekedar reminiscing aja kalo gitu, hehehe..</p>
<p>Kaset Yess bernomor 433 lagi-lagi aku dapetin di ruko Dav&#8217;s Musik Margonda beberapa tahun lalu dan sampai sekarang ya cuma kaset ini dokumentasi Saga yang aku punya, masake tenan..ngaku progger tapi cuma punya 1 kaset Saga, hiks.. Ada yang mau nyumbang aku album Saga ndak? Hehehe..<a href="http://ngarep.com/" target="_blank">ngarep.com</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00773_2_2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3013" title="DSC00773_2_2" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00773_2_2-e1325754625296.jpg?w=360&#038;h=480" alt="" width="360" height="480" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00774_2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-3014" title="DSC00774_2" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00774_2-e1325754714213.jpg?w=360&#038;h=480" alt="" width="360" height="480" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Judul album di sampul bergradasi warna hijau ini tertulis &#8220;made in canada&#8221;. Cukup aneh juga karena sebetulnya gak ada album Saga dengan judul tersebut, dan setelah aku cari info di mbah wiki, PA serta amazon ternyata yang mungkin dimaksud arsitek Yess adalah debut album Saga yang simply called &#8220;Saga&#8221;.<br />
Tapi aku masih penasaran karena aku temuin ada lagu-lagu dalam kaset ini yang ternyata bukan dari album &#8220;Saga&#8221; itu sendiri.<br />
Setelah buka discography Saga aku baru ngeh kalo kaset Yess-Saga ini memuat lagu dari 4 album pertama Saga, yaitu:<br />
Saga (1978):<br />
will it be you? / ice nice / tired world / perfectionist.</p>
<p>Images At Twilight  (1979):<br />
it&#8217;s time / see them smile / slow motion / images / hot to cold.</p>
<p>Silent Knight (1980):<br />
what&#8217;s it gonna be? / too much to lose.</p>
<p>Worlds Apart (1981):<br />
the interview.</p>
<p>Jadinya seperti kompilasi best of Saga ya? Tapi justru unik dan asik karena kuakui Yess pinter memilih serta mengurutkan lagu dari pertama sampai akhir, buktinya tiap dengar kaset ini aku rasanya terbang melayang dan kaki ini susah disuruh berhenti goyang, asik cuy..hahaha..</p>
<p>Di wikipedia disebutkan Saga adalah &#8220;canadian hard progressive band&#8221; atau simple nya mungkin band neo prog kali ya? Menurutku sound kibor/synth mereka cukup dominan dan enerjik, rancak, stunning (at least di kaset Yess ini loch..).<br />
O ya pertama kali denger suara vokalisnya aku pikir kok mirip-mirip vokalis Styx ya? Tapi soal musik, wow..lebih tuobz..</p>
<p>Sekarang aku lagi menyimak &#8220;see them smile&#8221; setelah tadi &#8220;hot to cold&#8221;, wuih..kaki goyang terus kayak orang uyutan,hahaha..</p>
<p>&#8220;Will it be you&#8221; the PROG &#8220;perfectionist&#8221; coming on earth to ease the &#8220;tired world&#8221; and &#8220;see them smile&#8221; again?<br />
(Hahaha..aku gabung-gabung dari judul lagu Saga..kurang gawean wae <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>
<p>Prog rules..<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Siang ini di kantor ada seseorang yang pamit keluar kantor dan saya bilang &#8220;I&#8217;ll see you on the dark side of the moon!!&#8221; (ucapan ini sering saya lontarkan saat berpisah dengan orang, tanpa tahu orang itu tahu yang saya maksud apa tidak). Eh ternyata ada seorang bule Australia teman kerja saya yang duduk tak jauh dari saya, namanya Mark, langsung nyahutin ucapan saya: &#8220;That&#8217;s a great album!&#8221;. Kemudian tahu2 dia bercerita dengan semangat:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>&#8220;You know when I was a teen, I went to a stereo shop and I was interested with a stereo set where the speaker was JBL. The store keeper than played me a record that I was not aware of. Then he played it at the stereo set that I was interested to purchase (AUD 119). I was so amazed with the sound and the music and finally I purchased the stereo set AND the vinyl of the band that I finally knew as Pink Floyd. &#8220;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Kemudian dia berdiri dan melanjutkan ceritanya dengan penuh semangat (bisa dipahami &#8230;musik prog kan bikin orang gila! yo pow ra??? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha &#8230;.):</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>&#8220;Then &#8230;couple of days after that, my friend who happened to be a roadie of Australian band came to my house and he brought his set of very big loudspeakers and amplifiers that we put all of them facing the street. We then played DARK SIDE OF THE MOON for the street!!!&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Hua ha ha ha ha ha &#8230; kita berdua nguakak sampe orang sekantor bingung &#8230;. &#8230;. saya tanya apa tetangga gak protes. Dia bilang protes tapi biarin aja &#8230; ha ha ha ha ha &#8230;..</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Akhirnya cerita berlanjut &#8230;.bahwa dulu sebelum tahu Pink Floyd dia hanya suka musik pop biasa. Sejak tahu PF, dia kembali ke toko PH yang sama minta musik yang sejenis PF begitu. Akhirnya, dia jadi kenal Genesis, Yes, Uriah Heep, Jethro Tull. Dia suka banget dengan Genesis &#8216;The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway&#8221; &#8230; sama dong &#8230;.. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha &#8230;</p>

Monggo dibaca tulisan mbak Sri yang nuansamatik kemlitik ini &#8230;.. JRENG!</em></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">By Sri Sutrianti</span></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Aku pertama kali kenalan dan langsung kesengsem sama si jadul ketika dikenalkan sama samuel  dalam acaranya di GMR waktu itu.Sebelumnya aku sedikit tahu dari sodara sodaraku yang notabene rockerkolot, banyak jenis music yang lewat dikupingku saat itu, maklum dirumahku ada  alat musik., jadi rumahku dijadikan tempat nongkrong/latihan.</p>
<p>Aku dikenalkan sama Riki om Ian pun oleh Samuel, dan beberapa kali berkunjung kerumahnya di jalan Sumbawa dalam.   Waktu itu aku sudah bekerja di Bekasi&#8230;. sama seperti korban korban jadul yang lain, uang gajiku hanya kupersembahkan untuk kaset kaset jadul itu hehe&#8230;.. senasib ya ?  untuk uang kos dan makan masih  dikasih ortu &#8230; ah meungpeun carang we !!!( bahasa indonesianya opo mas ya?)<br />
Hari Sabtu dan Minggu saja aku bisa denger acaranya Samuel, sisanya aku suruh orang untuk merekam seluruh siarannya&#8230;jadi aku siapkan kaset kosong C90 secukupnya, segitunya ya ??!!<br />
Waktu itu aku disebut ladies artrocker sama bang sam, karena cuma aku satu satunya yang mengikuti acaranya dia&#8230;( padahal sampai gila!!!)</p>
<p>Ketika dia meninggal, aku sangat kehilangan dia&#8230; bisa dibilang&#8230;. frustasi kalee !!!   emang kaya wong gendheng !! sampe sampe aku pengen lihat tempat menghembuskan nafas terakhirya di rumahnya Kreshna , basist suckerhead, aku kopikan surat terakhirnya&#8230;..Aku ingat itu&#8230; diawali dan diakhiri dengan kalimat &#8230;.SALAM SACRAL !!!, ada beberapa pesan  kemudian lyric THE END  nya THE DOORS tertulis disana&#8230;</p>
<p>Tahun 1996 aku menikah dgn seseorang yang &#8220;bisa merubah segalanya&#8221;.   Ntah apa yang dilihat suamiku, aku disarankan untuk berhenti mendengarkan music, alasannya waktu itu karena aku &#8220;alay&#8221; bila mendengarkan si jadul ini&#8230;. memang  hanya dengan komposisi-komposisi jadul semisal epitaph<a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cover_383971692009.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-3001 alignright" title="cover_383971692009" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cover_383971692009.jpg?w=189&#038;h=189" alt="" width="189" height="189" /></a> atau shine on you &#8230; nya Pink floyd aku bisa trans,&#8230;. ekstase&#8230;.!!  ndak usah pake boat or cimeng hehee&#8230;.  .<br />
Hamil anak pertama seluruh koleksiku aku jual&#8230;.(buat apa bikin aku sedih kalau ngeliatnya kan ), sampe sampe penjual kaset di cihapit antri di rumah&#8230;. soalnya aku jual murah biar cepet abis&#8230;. aku inget waktu itu aku pukul rata Rp. 4000,  rugi besar sih&#8230;<br />
(gpp, dapet ganjaran dari Allah&#8230;. menurut kepada suami hihihi, padahal sebagian bahkan seluruh jiwaku hilang !!! ).<br />
Majalah aktuil, topchords( iya gitu, lupa!!), artikel artikel tentang si jadul aku bakar !!! bahkan buku buku pelajaran main gitar,drum dan keyboardpun ludes semua jadi abu,.. aku hanya menyisakan buku RockStars dan Perkembangan Jazz&#8230;</p>
<p>Beberapa tahun kulewati masa-masa berat itu,&#8230; sampai mungkin 15 tahun aku sudah menjadi   &#8216;manusia baru&#8217;, yang sudah bisa mendengar epitaph &#8220;tanpa rasa&#8221;, &#8220;tanpa roh&#8221;&#8230;<br />
<a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cover_3349152292009.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-3002 alignleft" title="cover_3349152292009" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/cover_3349152292009.jpg?w=147&#038;h=144" alt="" width="147" height="144" /></a>Awal 2011 suamiku mulai membelikanku tape dan kaset-kaset, bahkan ngajak hunting bareng nyari ke pasar loak, kebetulan suamiku kerjaannya jalan, jadi pulang dari luar kota selalu bawa oleh oleh, kaset pertama yang dibelinya jethro tull &#8220;Aqualung&#8221;.<br />
Aku belum pernah &#8220;nyetel&#8221;, selallu suamiku yang menyalakannya.</p>
<p>Nah, diawal 2012 tanpa sengaja aku ngebuka blog ini, padahal sebetulnya waktu itu aku nyari lyric Sacrified sons nya Dream Theater buat update status FB, karena aku punya foto anak gelandangan yang lagi makan dari sampah !!!<br />
And sepertinya virus itu mulai menginfeksi otakku&#8230;, but  gak akan separah dulu&#8230;. karena aku sudah lama amnesia, nama grupnya saja lupaaaaa sedangkan kapasitas otak dan segalanya sangat terbatas&#8230;. hehe   !!</p>
<p>Segitu aja pengalamanku, maaf kalau banyak pengetikan yang salah&#8230;. Maklum baru keluar dari bertapa selama 15 tahun, sudah ganti presiden berapa kali tuh ?   Jadi ketika keluar dari gua dan berjalan keluar sangat bingung&#8230;.kuper,minder, dan&#8230;.<br />
gaptek, itu pasti..!!!!</p>
<p>Terakhir, aku kangen Riky&#8230; dimana kau adikku, beberapa kali kau cari aku dulu, sayang ga pernah bertemu ????!!!!!</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Merespon ajakan mulia mas G untuk lebih meramaikan blog yahud kita semua ini, maka aku nyoba lagi ngirim postingan tentang kaset djadoel rilisan Yess nan legendaris itu. Semoga bisa sedikit menambah info.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Kira-kira 1 mingguan menjelang ganti tahun lalu ak jagong ke ruko Dav&#8217;s Musik di margonda dengan niat awal &#8220;just luking-luking&#8221; yang ujung-ujungnya malah ended up dengan 3 kaset djadoel dan salah satunya ya kaset gedhongan ini.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pilah-pilih koleksi Yess di Dav&#8217;s Musik akhirnya pilihanku jatuh ke kaset dengan no 591 berjudul &#8220;art of the state&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00766_2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2994" title="DSC00766_2" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00766_2-e1325644582258.jpg?w=360&#038;h=480" alt="" width="360" height="480" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00767_2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2996" title="DSC00767_2" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/dsc00767_2-e1325644692900.jpg?w=360&#038;h=480" alt="" width="360" height="480" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Jujur aku belum pernah dengar nama band ini dan yang bikin aku tertarik karena ada nama 2 member Kansas disana: Kerry Livgren dan Dave Hope. Ternyata kata simbah Wiki, band ini dibentuk oleh Livgren dan Hope setelah keduanya cabut dari Kansas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Masih menurut Wiki, sepeninggal Steve Walsh anggota Kansas lainnya punya 3 kandidat pengganti yaitu<br />
Elefante, Michael Gleason serta Warren Ham. Entah gimana yang akhirnya menang adalah Elefante untuk mengisi posisi Walsh. Tapi gak taunya diam-diam Livgren sangat tertarik dengan kemampuan musikal Ham serta Gleason.<br />
Saat Hope dan Livgren mau membentuk band baru, Livgren mengajak serta Ham n Gleason yang kemudian bersedia gabung, maka terbentuklah &#8220;art of the state&#8221;.<br />
Band ini gak terlalu lama umurnya hanya sekitar 4 tahunan dari &#8217;84-&#8217;88.<br />
Musik mereka ada kemiripan dengan Kansas (mungkin karena ada ex-Kansas disitu) dan vokalnya pun mirip-mirip tipis dengan Walsh.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas G pernah bilang kalo Yess merilis sekitar 700an seri dan ini berarti kaset &#8220;art of the state&#8221; dirilis di tahun-tahun akhir menjelang Bob Geldof nyadar banyak kaset bajakan di negeri ini (gara-gara kompilasi &#8220;live aid&#8221; nya Team Records ketauan) dan berakhirlah era kaset bajakan nan nuansamatik beserta pula Yess..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">By Hardani Kristanto</span></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Kenapa harus Grand Funk ?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pertama, karena album Grand Funk (Railroad) ini salah satu album yang saya kenal pada awal perkenalan dengan music rock. Alasan ke dua, tak lain tak bukan, karena tentunya berupa kaset rilisan Yess, yang super gedhongan, hehehe &#8230;<br />
Pada waktu jaman majalah Aktuil dulu, saya pernah mendapatkan bonus poster grup yang sering disingkat dengan GFR itu, yang rupanya (tahu di kemudian hari) merupakan foto cover album &#8220;All the girls in the world, beware !&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/153.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2987" title="153" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/153.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/154.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2988" title="154" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/154.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/155.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2989" title="155" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/155.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Saya terpesona nyawang (melihat) poster yang sangat gagah tersebut yang saya tempelkan di tembok kamar, berdampingan dengan posternya grup Kiss yg non mask dan juga poster vocalis grup  Nazareth, Dan McCafferty. Berikutnya mencoba mencari kasetnya di toko2 kaset yang ada di kota Magelang, tempat saya dibesarkan (tinggal sih di Tempuran, sekitar 8 km dari kota), hasilnya nihil. Kota/ kampung saya tersebut memang kurang nge-rock, kurang nge-prog, buktinya sampai saya lulus kuliah, gak ada tuh toko yang mau jual kaset rilisan Yess, shshshsss &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Karena penasaran, dan juga kebetulan, sepupu, Hardoyo yang kuliah di Yogya (saya masih SMA waktu itu) mengajak main ke kota yg berjarak sekitar 40-an km itu, dan uang saku hasil nodong ortu, saya pakai untuk hunting  kaset di kota &#8220;besar&#8221; tsb. Akhirnya, kaset grup impian yang bernama Grand Funk Railroad itu saya dapatkan juga di toko kaset yang saya lupa namanya, yang lokasinya deket dengan hotel Mutiara di jalan Malioboro waktu itu, sebuah kaset rilisan Perina (sambil nginget2, kayaknya sih bener), yang ternyata sebuah album live, dan merupakan kaset album live ke-2 yang saya punyai waktu itu, selain &#8220;Made in Japan&#8221;nya Deep Purple yang sangat phenomenal itu. Di kemudian hari, kaset Grand Funk tersebut pada akhirnya hilang entah kemana, yang pasti sudah gak ada di tumpukan kaset di almari buku merangkap kaset, pas saya mudik sekitar dua bulanan sehabis pindahan ke Jakarta karena kerja.<br />
Sekitar setahunan yang lalu, lupa awal-muasalnya darimana (?), ujug2 saya teringat kaset nuansamatik tersebut dan karena sudah kebelet, lalu order CDnya ke amazon yang akhirnya dapet kiriman yang remastered. Dan pas main ke Bandung, lupa kapannya, akhirnya lengkap koleksi saya dengan diperolehnya kaset yang bahkan, rilisan YESS. Gak kebayang juga waktu lihat deretan kaset Yess bekas di toko kaset &#8220;Antik&#8221; di sekitar Cipaganti tersebut, dimana ternyata salah satunya adalah grup yang bener2 jauh dari alur progressive khas Yess  (saya yakin alasan utama kenapa Yess merilisnya adalah karena album ini memang sangatlah dahzoat , hahaha &#8230;)<br />
Dari total 13 track yang direkam secara live pada tour mereka di tahun 1975 tersebut, karena keterbatasan ukuran kaset, Yess cuma merekam sekitar 9 lagu saja, itupun lagu top &#8220;Shinin&#8217; On&#8221; kelupaan tak terketik di kaset Yess no urut 084 tersebut. Lucunya lagi, lagu pembuka &#8220;Footstompin&#8217; Music&#8221; justru ditaruh di side B, wis yo ben, sing penting Yess gitu lhoh !!<br />
Sahdan, grup hard rock yang dikomandoi gitaris Mark Farner ini, dengan Craig Frost di kibor, Mel Schacher pada bass dan si kribo Don Brewer pendentum drums, diakui oleh rock fans sebagai salah satu grup rock paling berpengaruh di dekade 70 sampai 80-an. Walaupun karya2 mereka banyak yang menembus tangga lagu2 dunia, mereka lebih dikenal karena aksi2 panggungnya yang rancak, berenergi, dan  menghibur, entertainer sejati katanya. Termasuk band yang cukup produktif karena mampu merilis lebih dari 14 album studio, belum termasuk album live atau kompilasinya.</p>
<p>Nomor2 favorit saya di album live jadul nan impresip ini antara lain : Footstompin&#8217; Music, Loco-Motion, Shinin&#8217; On, Black Locorice, Inside Looking Out, termasuk solo drum-nya si Don  di nomor TNUC, dan tentunya pastilah lagu &#8220;We&#8217;re an American Band&#8221;.<br />
&#8230; We&#8217;re an American Band,<br />
We&#8217;re coming to your town,<br />
We&#8217;ll help you party it down,<br />
We&#8217;re an American Band, yeaaaah &#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Berita ini cukup lama karena diumumkan di situsnya <a href="http://www.ndvmusic.com/november-18-2011">NDV</a> tanggal 18 Nopember tahun lalu, sebelum saya berangkat ke Bontang untuk PKT Rock Nation. Berita ini cukup mengagetkan saya dalam beberapa hal:</p>
<ul style="text-align:justify;">
<li>Setelah Neal Morse keluar dari Spock&#8217;s Beard, saya justru lebih bisa menikmati musik mereka mengingat musiknya menjadi lebih original dan, yang lebih penting lagi, suara vokal NDV jauh lebih bagus dan powerful dibandingkan Neal Morse. Sebelumnya NDV hanya nggebuk drums, tapi setelah Neal Morse keluar dia menggantikan posisi vokal &#8211; jadi seperti pola Genesis saat Peter Gabriel keluar. Saya suka sekali album ke delapan SB bertajuk Octane dan juga album terakhir bertajuk X (album ke sepuluh). Di dua album ini permainan drums dan vokal NDV bener-bener mak nyus kemlunyus tuwenaaaaaan &#8230;. Apalagi kalau nyanyi Of The Beauty of It All &#8230;aduh biyuuuuunnnnng &#8230;.. Itu lagu kuweren puwol!!!!!</li>
<li>Selain sebagai pemusik handal di SB, NDV juga bikin proyek dahzyat bertajuk <strong><a href="http://gwmusic.wordpress.com/2009/05/24/rewiring-genesis-a-tribute-to-the-lamb/">Rewiring Genesis</a></strong> yang pernah saya bahas di blog gemblunk ini. Gila tuh NDV, album terbaik Genesis &#8216;The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway&#8217; dia bongkar dan aransemen ulang dengan hasil yang tiada tara indahnya &#8230;.. Pokoknya yang ngaku suka Genesis tapi ndak punya atau belum pernah denger Rewiring Genesis, saya sarankan menikmati Panbers dan Koes Plus aja &#8230;atau De Hands &#8230; atau D L&#8217;loyd &#8230;..ha ha ha ha ha ha &#8230; Asli, itu album kuweren pol!</li>
<li>Hal terakhir adalah tentang alasan dia keluar yang sungguh menyesak di dada &#8230;. karena tak bisa hidup dari musik prog! Waduh! Malu gak kita sebagai penggemar musik prog tapi ternyata musik kegemaran kita itu tak bisa membiayai penghidupan musisi yang bermain di situ. Silakan baca sendiri ulasan NDV di link yang di atas ya. Opo ora mbrebes mili membaca kisah sedih di hari Minggu ini &#8230;aaaaa&#8230;.aaaa&#8230;.aaaa&#8230;. (lho? Kok lagu Koes Plus?). Ha ha ha ha &#8230; Dasar blog gemblunk! Ini perlu kita renungkan &#8230;.. Karena yang suka musik prog hanya segelintir saja sehingga musisinya gak bisa hidup.</li>
<li>Ada kabar baiknya juga, meski NDV meninggalkan SB, dia tetep main prog, juga sebagai drummer di kelompok yang namanya Cirque du Soleil. Memang, ini adalah sirkus &#8230;tapi jangan ditanya musiknya&#8230;.prog abis jal! Coba cari DVD Cirque du Soleil dan liat main sirkusnya sambil mengamati musik yang mengiringi: bener2 progresip!</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/images.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2984" title="images" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/images.jpg?w=450" alt=""   /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Kembali ke pokok permasalahan: musik prog teryata tak feasible sebagai mata pencaharian. Ini perlu kita renungkan dan cari jalan keluarnya.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Salam,</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Setelah penantian yang lumayan panjang sejak album terakhir mereka &#8220;Pepper&#8217;s Ghost&#8221; tahun 2005 dirilis, grup bentukan Clive Nolan (kompatriot Nick Barrett di Pendragon) dan Mick Pointer (ex Marillion) ini akhirnya merilis album anyar &#8220;The seventh degree of separation&#8221; pertengahan Desember ini.<br />
Album ini covernya sempet ditempeli sticker &#8220;parental advisory-explicit content&#8221; karena saya pikir foto2 yangg ada di sleeve-nya memang kurang &#8220;sopan&#8221;, hahaha … Covernya sendiri kayaknya lebih pas buat cover grup2 trash metal &#8230;<br />
Di album ini, Arena menggandeng vocalist baru, Paul Manzi, yang menurut saya jauh lebih kuat dan berkarakter dibanding vocalis sebelumnya, Robbie Sowden.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/146.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2978" title="146" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/146.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p>Paul Manzi sebelumnya gabung dengan band punya anaknya Rick Wakeman, Oliver Wakeman. Selain itu Karl Groom, gitaris Threshold, sekali lagi ikut menggarap album grup dari kawasan britania ini.<br />
Grup yang menjadi terkenal setelah merilis album &#8220;The Visitor&#8221; sekitar tahun 1998 ini, sekali lagi menunjukkan bahwa karya2 mereka memang jempolan. Dibuka dengan nomor &#8220;The Great Escape&#8221;, yang lumayan garang, dan diakhiri dengan &#8220;The Tinder Box&#8221; yang sangat Marillion&#8217; Fish era.</p>
<p>Kata Clive Nolan di progarchieves: ‘This album is a dark and sometimes surreal journey to places we might rather avoid. Even at this stage, the power and the atmosphere of the music is shining through!’</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Track list:</p>
<p>1. The Great Escape</p>
<p>2. Rapture</p>
<p>3. One Last Au Revoir</p>
<p>4. The Ghost Walks</p>
<p>5. Thief Of Souls</p>
<p>6. Close Your Eyes</p>
<p>7. Echoes Of The Fall</p>
<p>8. Bed Of Nails</p>
<p>9. What if?</p>
<p>10. Trebuchet</p>
<p>11. Burning Down</p>
<p>12. Catching The Bullet</p>
<p>13. The Tinder Box<br />
Di nomor &#8220;Tinder Box&#8221; ini, pemain kibor Clive Nolan dan gitaris John Mitchell unjuk kebolehan untuk dapat bersaing dengan range vokalnya Paul Manzi yang sangat kuat, dan yang pasti prog banget, apalagi pas dia di puncak teriakan &#8230;. We are a spark from the tinder box, the element, the Miracle &#8230;, lagu ini mengalun indah, emosional dan melodik di awal dan terus mencapai klimaks, diakhiri bisikan pelan &#8220;the end&#8221;, sungguh sebuah karya yang sangat sayang kalau dilewatkan.<br />
Nomor2 lainnya yang juga layak dinikmati antara lain, &#8220;Thief of Souls&#8221; disambung &#8220;Close your eyes&#8221;, &#8220;Trebuchet&#8221; yang menggebu dan tentunya &#8220;Catching the bullet&#8221; yang cukup akrobatik.</p>
<p>Recommended, kekurangannya hanya pada durasi lagu yang cuma sekitar 3 – 4 menitan, cuma lagu ke 12 yang 7 menit, mungkin karena terlalu banyaknya stock lagu mereka setelah vakum nggak ngeluarin album sekitar 5 tahunan tersebut.<br />
Wis pokoke, from start to finish, lumayanlah bisa mengobati kekangenan Marillion era Fish, hehehe &#8230;<br />
Let the good prog rolling &#8230;</p>

<p>Ini review saya di ProgArchives:</p>
<div>Review by <a href="http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=405"><strong>Gatot</strong></a><br />
<span style="color:#dc143c;"><strong>SPECIAL COLLABORATOR</strong> <em>Honorary Collaborator</em></span></p>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><img src="http://www.progarchives.com/static-images/5stars.gif" alt="5 stars" border="0" /><span style="color:#0000ff;"> By the time I post this review there had been 75 entries that talked about this seminal album (and some people called it as <strong>the first</strong> prog rock album on earth) of legendary band: King Crimson. I am not going to raise an issue whether or not this was the first or not; as for me personally, the first prog album was Yes &#8220;Fragile&#8221;. Full stop. It does not matter if in fact the other album(s) came first. Well, .. it matters only when you try to review an album on the basis of &#8220;influence&#8221; of other bands. Let&#8217;s put aside that.</span><span style="color:#0000ff;">So, why should I give the 76th entry then? As a matter of statistical vote to prove that this is a masterpiece? Or, to counter review for those reviewers who have given less than 4 stars? (Ahem . I always view that people have different views based on taste and background. So I have no problem with it at all). No no no no ..Not all of that things, my friends ..My reason is simple. I&#8217;ve just read a great story about the band from its inception (embryo stage) until &#8220;The Construction of Light&#8221; album through a well- researched book by <strong>Sid Smith</strong> (got nothing to do with Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd) titled <strong>In The Court of King Crimson</strong> (Helter Skelter Publishing, 2001 &#8211; reprinted 2003). It&#8217;s a great book as it was written by a die-hard fan of the band. As Mr. Fripp put at book cover: &#8220;Sid Smith&#8217;s opinion is worthy of respect&#8221;.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Of course I won&#8217;t tell you about the book in detail because it&#8217;s 346 pages and also what would be &#8220;my view&#8221; if I take everything from the book? I don&#8217;t want to be in the circle of plagiarism. But, the book has given me a powerful nuance and reference to review any album of King Crimson. (If you notice, this is my first review about the band and I want to do it right, with the best available references).</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">It&#8217;s gonna be boring if I review track by track as I used to do it with other prog albums. This time I would do it at album level because you know it well track by track. Let&#8217;s do it this way .</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>The result of a struggling band</strong>. This album was a culmination of concerted effort by the band members from the embryonic <strong>Giles, Giles &amp; Fripp</strong> until it was formalized under the name of KC. It&#8217;s important to notice how the band members were not aware at all that they did a great job. In the a.m. book it was mentioned that the making of &#8220;21st Century Schizoid Man&#8221; albeit it&#8217;s the first track but was recorded the last. The song was made through collective efforts by its members and they did not feel that they accomplished something great that rocked the music industry later on. Each member did not pat others for example &#8220;Hey great, we did it one&#8221;. No, not at all. They just said &#8220;OK, that&#8217;s it&#8221;. (page 59).</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>The Change master that inpires ..</strong>. Yeah .. We know it that this album had created major change in music industry. At that time people never thought a music with powerful riffs and &#8220;very&#8221; distorted vocal as in the opening track &#8220;21st Century .&#8221;. Even the first time I listened to this song (sometime in 1976) I thought that my cassette was in trouble. Couple months ago, our local newspaper in my country featured this album in a great details (reviewed by my colleague Tom Malik). What interesting was the prog discussion that followed after the article. It was discussed that the riffs have inspired many heavy metal bands. You may or may not agree with it.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>The Music.</strong> Now, let&#8217;s talk about the music. The overall album has a strong structure offering a variety of styles: progressive rock, ballad with classical touch and avant garde- and overall album offers dark nuance. The music demonstrates catchy and memorable melodies that still valid thru the passage of time. Having listened to &#8220;Epitaph&#8221; or &#8220;I Talk To The Wind&#8221; in decades I&#8217;m still touched by their melodies. Wonderfully crafted!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;">If I may advise, it&#8217;s not a matter of recommendation. But, if you want to explore prog music, this album is <strong>must</strong> in your prog collection. Don&#8217;t step into prog wagon if you do not own this album yet. Keep on progging! GW, Indonesia.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><em>Note: With an earthquake disaster happening in my country and neighborhood, &#8220;Epitaph&#8221; might be best to play as condolences for twenty three thousand brothers and sisters who have lost their lives tragically .&#8221;Confusion will be my epitaph .&#8221; ..South East Asian countries are crying now .(Jakarta, 28 Dec 04)</em></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Tak bisa dipungkiri, saya suka banget Never Enough dari album Octavarium dan belum pernah lihat live performance nya. Siang ini iseng-iseng cari di youtube barangkali ada. Ternyata ada! Saya pikir Dream Theater tak menganggap lagu ini penting buat dibawakan live. Ternyata saya salah, buktinya ini ada dan keren banget mainnya.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://gwmusic.wordpress.com/2011/12/31/never-enough-live-in-paris/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/BwRvepsPQVw/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mengapa saya suka sekali lagu ini meski gak terlalu progresif? Sederhana saja, lagu ini menggabungkan Muse style ke dalam musik Dream Theater. Atau, maaf kalau saya mengatakan ini, Never Enough membuktikan kepiawaian Dream Theater mengangkat derajat musik Muse ke tingkat sofistikasi yang lebih tinggi. Saya juga penggemar Muse lho, jangan salah. Tapi harus diakui bahwa Never Enough ini jauh lebih hebat dibandingkan musik Muse karena elemen-elemen keras dan rumit musik Dream Theater masih ditonjolkan dengan sempurna di lagu ini. Kalau nyetel CD Octavarium saya selalu ulang lagu ini beberapa kali sebelum melanjutkan ke track selanjutnya.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Lagu ini diawali dengan bunyi kibor ala Muse kemudian disambut hentakan rofel dahzyat dari Mike Portnoy. Kalau diperhatikan dengan cermat, pukulan beberapa detik dari Portnoy di awal lagu ini sangat berbeda dengan gaya permainan dia memainkan lagu DT yang lainnya. Di sini dia ingin menunjukkan bahwa DT bisa beradaptasi dengan musik yang sedang digandrungi anak muda di dunia: Muse. Pukulan drum pembukanya bener-bener menghentak dan membuat kita tenggelam menikmatinya bak sebuah alunan melodi yang nimat didengar dan diulang lagi &#8211; demi sebuah gebukan awal ini. Setelah masuk ke musik penuh, warna musik Muse ditampilkan, apalagi saat LaBrie mulai masuk dengan vokalnya &#8220;Help myself open wide &#8230;&#8221;. WHOAAAAA&#8230;.!!! Kereeeeeeennnnn &#8230;.!!!! Selanjutnya adalah sebuah racikan musik apik dengan pola dasar musik Muse namun mempertahankan unsur keras dan rumit musik DT.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Lihat pada menit ke 2:00 Myung mulai berjalan menuju Petrucci. Suatu hal yang sangat jarang dilakukan Myung karena bassist ini pada dasarnya pendiam dan fokus di tempatnya saja. Mengapa dia menuju Petrucci di sayap kanan? Karena musik telah menunjukkan aksentuasi yang lebih jelas lagi dengan penonjolan permainan bass dan gitar, dan ini bisa saya katakan merupakan puncak pertama dari musical multi orgasms sepanjang lagu ini. Puncak kedua terjadi pada menit 3:41 saat gitar Petrucci memainkan nada berulang yang indah sekali dan kemudian disusul permainan indah Rudess pada menit ke 4:10 (puncak ketiga). Wah uwediyaaaannn!!!! Decak kagum saya buat lagu ini. Kok bisa ya mereka bikin lagu yang komposisinya begitu menawan seperti ini?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Jawabannya ya satu aja: Dream Theater gitu loh!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Jiyannnn! Jawaban gak akademis blas!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sungguh, malam ini saya kecewa dengan pagelaran Kantata Barock (Iwan Fals, Setiawan Djody, Sawung Jabo). Kalau tahun 1990 di tempat yang sama saya puas dengan penampilan Kantata Takwa, justru malam ini sebaliknya: saya meras tak menikmati dan tak nyaman dengan pagelaram ini karena beberapa hal:</p>
<p>1. Konsep pagelaran tak jelas. Saya tak melihat apa yang sebenarnya ingin ditonjolkan dalam konser ini: musik, teater atau orasi? Kalau musik, semua aransemen ulang yang dilakukan terhadap lagu2 Swami maupun Kantata tak ada satupun yang beres, semuanya berantakan. Musik yang ditampilkan didominasi oleh distorsi gitar Setiawan Djody yabng bener2 tidak nyaman di kuping dan tak sedap ditonton. Hampir di setiap lagu gitar SD menonjol dan sangat mengganggu. Sepertinya SD pengen men-Steve-Vai-kan Kantata tapi tambah bubrah hancur lebur berantakan. Alih-alih mau bicara harmoni, melodi dasar dari lagu asli yang sebenernya indah, seperti Bento, jadi hancur. Saya tidak tahu sebenernya siapa music producer nya kok membiarkan aransemen hancur begini.<br />
Mungkin juga KB ini juga merupakan ajang orasi karena banyak sekali sisipan orasi SD di sana-sini. Namun bila orasi, apa yang diucapkan juga gak jelas. Temanya apa juga gak jelas selain kritik terhadap pemerintahan saat ini. Itupun gak terlalu jelas karena sepanjang orasi ada musik altar yg mengganggu kejernihan suara.<br />
Bila ini sebuah teater dengan plot cerita yang ditampilkan pada layar lebar di belakang panggung, juga gak jelas temanya.</p>
<p>2. Sound system yang sangat buruk sehingga musik tak terdengar utuh selain suara raungan gitar SD yg tak nyaman di kuping. Sebetulnya pada saat lagu Panji Panji Demokrasi saya lumayan menikmati musiknya. Mungkin karena yang main gitar Totok Tewel, bukan SD. Sayang&#8230;&#8230;di akhir lagu ada orasi SD yang tak jelas suaranya dan maksudnya apa.</p>
<p>3. Di tengah pertunjukan tiba-tiba ada band KOTAK nyelip masuk dengan penyanyi ber ramai2, termasuk Once Dewa. Maksudnya apa? Kok gak jelas.</p>
<p>Yang saya suka dari pagelaran ini hanya tata-lampu yang megah dan susana pagelaran dimana penggemar Iwan Fals semuanya berkumpul tertib di arena pertunjukan.</p>
<p>Saya yakin, pergelaran ini memakan biaya produksi yang tinggi. Sayangnya tak diimbangi dengan konsep yang jelas sehingga performance nya amburadul.</p>
<p>Saya tak tahan untuk meneruskan nonton dan cabut dari venue pada saat Bento dibawakan.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seru juga rencana konser Dream Theater di Ancol tanggal 21 April 2012 yang akan datang. Banyak yang menyambut gembira kehadiran band dimana penggemar terbanyaknya (di seluruh dunia) justru di Indonesia, namun begitu main di sini tiketnya dinilai mahal oleh banyak anak metal. Benarkah mahal?</p>
<p>Mari kita hitung pakai cara goblok-goblokan yang mungkin juga gak tepat. Tapi, paling gak mau coba kita liat dari aspek bisnisnya dulu, bukan aspek emosi &#8220;mahal&#8221;nya.</p>
<p>Konon, fee buat Dream Theater sekitar USD 400 ribu. Katakanlah ditambah akomodasi dan biaya pesawat plus pajak semuanya menjadi USD 450 ribu, itu berarti sama dengan 4 milyar dan 50 juta rupiah. Dengan COST seperti ini maka perhitungannya menjadi begini:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bila dijual tiket rata2 seharga 500 ribu rupiah, maka promotor harus menjual 8,100 tiket untuk break even point</li>
<li>Bila dijual tiket dengan rata2 seharga 1 juta rupiah maka promotor harus menjual 4,050 lembar tiket untuk break even point</li>
<li>Bila dijual dengan harga rata2 Rp. 1.2 juta maka promotor harus menjual sekurangnya 3,375 lembar tiket.</li>
</ul>
<p>Nah &#8230;dengan gambaran kasar seperti ini, maka kita bisa mengkalkulasi apakah harga mahal atau tidak. Memang &#8230;.hukum dasar ekonomi Supply &#8211; Demand ya tetap berlaku. Kalau Anda jadi promotor, alternatif mana yang Anda pilih? Apa rencana aksi (renaksi) yang akan Anda lakukan agar Anda tidak rugi dalam konser ini?</p>
<p>Sebagai gambaran, tahun 2006 saya nonton DT di Singapore dengan harga tiket seperti ini:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/26_2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2960" title="26_2" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/26_2.jpg?w=450&#038;h=344" alt="" width="450" height="344" /></a></p>
<p>Kalau di rata2, harga tiketnya SGD 100 alias Rp 700.000,- per tiket (rata-rata).</p>
<p>Jadi &#8230;apa kesimpulanya?</p>
<p>Silakan tulis pendapat Anda di bawah (komentar)&#8230;.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Album Fly From Here boleh gak gigit&#8230;.. Tapi&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. Live record yang satu ini sepertinya menarik buat dikoleksi. Coba amati saja video ini. Ada pemandangan yang cukup aneh karena vokal bukan Jon Anderson tapi Benoit David OK banget, meski kualitas suaranya gak bisa mengalahkan suara malaikat si Jon.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Motivasi utama mendapatkan album ini tentu adalah adanya repertoire DRAMA yang dibawakan seperti Tempus Fugit dan Machine Messiah. Tuobbzz!!! Pasti keren meski belum liat &#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Sebagai orang yang masa kecil dan remajanya akrab dengan musik yang kemudian disebut sebagai classic rock melalui lagu-lagu masyhur dari Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk Railroad, Kin Ping Meh, Bad Company, Black Sabbath dan juga musik rock jenis lain yang dulu disebut art rock seperti ELP, King Crimson, Genesis, Yes, Gentle Giant, Focus, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull &#8230;&#8230;.maka kehadiran Dream Theater rasanya sebagai solusi yang menggabungkan semua elemen musik tersebut.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mengapa?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Bagi saya, secara umum musik Dream Theater memiliki elemen-elemen yang membuat saya langsung menyukainya ketika sekitar tahun 1995 saya pertama kali mendengarkan lagu &#8220;6:00&#8243; dari album Awake yang disetel oleh kakak saya, Henky, di rumahnya:</p>
<ol style="text-align:justify;">
<li>Ada <strong>unsur rock</strong> yang kental dengan ciri khas bebunyian riff gitar seperti pada lagu-lagu classic rock seperti &#8216;Smoke on The Water&#8217; (Deep Purple), &#8216;Whole Lotta Love&#8217; (Led Zeppelin), &#8216;Sabbath Bloody Sabbath&#8217; (Black Sabbath) atau &#8216;Come On In&#8217; (Kin Ping Meh). Memang unsur ini menjadi ciri khas mengapa sebuah musik bisa digolongkan &#8216;rock&#8217; meski ada juga band classic rock yang tak mengandalkan riff seperti Grand Funk Rail Road yang terkenal dengan kocokan gitarnya yang yahud (coba simak lagu &#8216;Aimless Lady&#8217; &#8230;gila dah kocokan gitarnya!) atau Bad Company. Unsur rock ini kemudian diusung oleh generasi penerus classic rock seperti Metallica yang membuat riff gitar menjadi lebih keras dan menonjol, atau Iron Maiden yang menggabungkan riff dengan kocokan gitar. Dream Theater menggunakan pola riff seperti yang diusung Metallica.</li>
<li>Ada <strong>unsur progresif</strong> yang kental pada hampir semua lagu Dream Theater. Unsur ini diusung oleh band-band seperti ELP, Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, King Crimson dan sebagainya. Cara mengenalinya mudah: adanya perpindahan tempo dan style seperti saat kita menikmati &#8216;Supper&#8217;s Ready&#8217; nya Genesis atau &#8216;Roundabout&#8217; nya Yes atau &#8216;A Passion Play&#8217;nya Jethro Tull. Dream Theater membuatnya lebih cepat, lebih rumit dan kadang mendadak perpindahannya. namun, meski semuanya dilakukan cepat dan mendadak, Dream Theater sungguh piawai dalam membuat transisi-transisi maut sehingga kita tak merasakan bahwa musik bakal berpindah tempo dan style. Coba simak analisis saya mengenai lagu &#8216;Stream of Consciousness&#8217; yang memiliki beberapa pola (pattern). Kepiawaian Dream Theater menciptakan staccato pada segmen-segmen transisi ini justru membuat keindahan tersendiri. Coba simak lagu &#8216;Fatal Tragedy&#8217; dari Scene Froma Memory album. Decak kagum akan kita berikan kepada Dream Theater terutama dalam akrobatik musikalnya yang sungguh dahsyat menampilkan duet tiada duanya antara Jordan Rudess (kibor) dan John Petrucci (gitar) dengan aksentuasi permainan drum yang dinamis. Kalau mau jujur, sebenernya Dream Theater ini mengambil pola yang pernah diusung oleh band bernama UK yang pada tahun 1978 membuat album perdana yang sempurna. Di album UK ini ada lagu pendek bertajuk &#8216;Presto, Vivace and Reprise&#8217; yang pada dasarnya sebuah transisi berisi akrobatik musikal dengan pola staccato yang indah. Dream Theater membuatnya lebih sering dan menjadi ciri khasnya.</li>
<li><strong>Melodik</strong>. Ya&#8230;.sebagian besar lagu-lagu Dream Theater sangat kuat di melodi sehingga mudah bagi kita untuk membuat senandung lagunya. Coba simak lagu &#8216;Sacrificed Sons&#8217; dari album Octavarium&#8230;kalau gak nangis jangan sebut Anda punya nurani &#8230;he he he &#8230; Saya sih ngguweblak abis kalau denger lagu ini! Ini baru menikmati melodinya ya &#8230;belum kalau memaknai liriknya tentang korban tragedi runtuhnya WTC di Amerika. Sangat menyentuh. Kalau mau lihat lagi kekuatan melodi, coba nikmati &#8216;Finally Free&#8217; yang merupakan lagu pamungkas dari album Scene from a Memory. Merindhink dah &#8230;&#8230;</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Indah bukan?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Tentu! Lumayan sulit memadukan unsur keras (riff gitar), progresif dan melodi menjadi satu kesatuan komposisi yang utuh seperti musik Dream Theater. Postingan ini saya tulis gara-gara baca komentar mas Hippienov di tret sebelumnya (analisis Voices), sambil pasang lagu &#8216;On the Backs of Angels&#8217; dan nyruput kopi tubruk pake gula jawa sebagai pemanis &#8230; Kumplitlah adrenalin saya mengalir menulis lancar postingan mendadak tak terencana ini &#8230;..</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Saya suka komentar John Petrucci tentang lagu &#8216;On The Backs of Angels&#8217; ini:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><em>“We were very conscious when writing the song that it should reflect the signature sound of the band. We wanted it to have all of the elements of Dream Theater. It would be progressive, it would be metal, and it would be melodic. There would be some big shred moments mixed with very dramatic breakdowns. It’s got everything that we love to do as a band.”</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cucok dengan apa yang saya tulis to? Meski dia menulisnya dalam bahasa sebagai seorang pemusik &#8230; Saya sebagai penikmat saja dan sangat puas dengan musik Dream Theater &#8230;.. Album terakhir Dream Theater &#8216;A Dramatic Turn of Events&#8217; bener2 dahzyat &#8230;.. Coba simak lagu bertajuk &#8220;Outcry&#8221; &#8230;.Bener-bener indah komposisinya. Apalagi temanya tentang pergolakan menentang tirani di Timur Tengah &#8230;. &#8216;It&#8217;s time to step down&#8217; &#8230;..</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Bagi saya pribadi, artwork di sampul depannya seperti menggambarkan meniti jalan yang benar shirathal mustaqim &#8230;.. Bisakah nanti saya melaluinya? Wallahu&#8217;alam bishawab &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Hmmmm &#8230;saat postingan ini selesai, saya sudah samapi di &#8216;Bridges In The Sky&#8217; pas di bagian rumitnya &#8230; Biyuh!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Beberapa hari lalu saya posting di milis i-Rock! seperti ini:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Lagu Dream Theater yang paling asik itu apa ya? Mulai dari album pertama, tentunya &#8230;..</em></p>
<p><em>Saya masih bingung menentukan antara:</em><br />
<em>- Stream of Consciousness</em><br />
<em>- Outcry</em><br />
<em>(Sebenernya Fatal Tragedy juga masuk &#8230;.)</em></p>
<p><em>Ada yg punya jagoan lain? Maksudnya, jangan cuman enaknya aja, tapi gabungan antara lima komponen dlm progressive metal:</em><br />
<em>1. Melodi</em><br />
<em>2. Harmoni</em><br />
<em>3. Kompleksitas</em><br />
<em>4. Perubahan tempo dan style</em><br />
<em>5. Structural integrity</em></p>
<p><em>Bagi saya, dua lagu DT di atas dua2nya memenuhi lima komponen tersebut.</em></p>
<p><em>Mungkin om Setan (setengah) Gondrong bisa memulai? Atau bro Irul? Atau Stippo? Atau Harris? Atau Bayu &#8230;.</em></p>
<p><em>Jangan masukkan Spirit Carries On yah &#8230;soalnya gak ada kompleksitas (3) dan perubahan style (4) &#8230;&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>Mari kita bahas &#8230;..</em></p>
<p><em>Kita mulai &#8230;..yak&#8230;. JRENG!!</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dan ini adalah analisis saya tentang lagu DT paling bagus, menurut saya:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Analisis Musik “Stream of Consciousness”</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/cover_5856161122008.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2949" title="cover_5856161122008" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/cover_5856161122008.jpg?w=315&#038;h=315" alt="" width="315" height="315" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Lagu ini paling nikmat disimak dari lagu <em>Vacant</em> yang terasa pas sebagai pemanasan buat menikmati <em>Stream of Consciousness</em>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Secara struktur, <em>Stream of Consciousness</em> memiliki empat (4) pola, ditambah intro di bagian depan, dengan peralihan antara satu pola satu ke lainnya dilakukan dengan transisi yang mulus sehingga kita tak menyadari bahwa musik sedang bergerak ke pola yang lain.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Pola musik : Intro – A – B – C – D – A &#8211; Intro</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Intro (menit 00 – 00:40)</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Lagu ini diawali dengan petikan gitar Petrucci dengan nuansa ambient selama 20 detik disertai kemudian dengan gebrakan musik yang keras dengan melibatkan semua insrumen yang ada: bass, gitar, kibor dan drum (dominan) selama 20 detik hingga musik memasuki pola pertama (kita sebut pola A). Yang perlu dicatat disini adalah perpindahan dari intro ke awal Pola A pada detik ke 40 terjadi megah.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Pola A (menit 00:40 – 02:01)</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Pada pola A ini yang menonjol adalah riff gitar Petrucci yang terasa berat dan memberi ciri khas metal, berulang beberapa kali namun terasa nikmat dan megah. Rupanya DT sedang memanjakan pendengarnya dengan permainan riff sederhana namun gagah memukau. Permainan drums juga menonjol, terasa mengimbangi riff gitar. Riff kemudian berubah agak halus dan pada pada menit ke 2:01 kibor mulai masuk memberikan transisi indah untuk masuk ke Pola B.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Pola B (menit 02:01 – 3:04)</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Pada pola B ini musik telah mulai berubah pola permainannya ke tingkat selanjutnya yang lebih menantang karena pada pola ini kibor diberi kesempatan memainkan perannya lebih jauh mengimbangi permainan gitar. Portnoy juga memberikan variasi permainan drums yang menawan dalam beberapa segmen perpindahan. Pada pola B ini saya mengalami banyak titik orgasme dalam menikmati musik indah seperti lagu ini. Solo Petrucci mengalami puncaknya di Pola B ini.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Pola C (menit 3:05 – 5:25)</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Whoaaaaa&#8230;&#8230;.. Pola C ini diawali dengan transisi yang merupakan permainan kibor akrobatik disertai dengan gitar yang menawan sekali. Pada segmen dimana Pola C ini mulai masuk, permainan gitar dan kibor semakin gila dan banyak sekali titik orgasme yang saya alami&#8230;&#8230;..edan nih Pola C&#8230;.seolah di segmen inilah Rudess dan Perucci melakukan solo-solo menukik yang bener-bener indah membuat saya angkat jempol beberapa kali. Saya suka sekali gitar solo pada menit 3:50 &#8211; 4:30. Dahzyat! Portnoy dan Myung memberikan aksentusi yang kuat juga mengiringi duet maut gitar-kibor pada segmen ini. Dentuman double-pedal bass drum di segmen ini bener2 dahzyat! Saya puas dengan segmen yang memainkan pola C ini hingga akhirnya tempo menjadi agak pelan saat akan pindah ke pola C pada menit ke 5:25 dimana Myung memegang peranan kunci sambil teman-teman lainnya “istirahat” sejenak &#8230;.disertai hentakan Portnoy.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Pola D (5:25 &#8211; 7:36)</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Musik bertempo agak pelan dengan mengetengahkan cabikan bass Myung disertai rofel tenor dan snare drums dari Portnoy, sementara Rudess dan Petrucci istirahat. Kibor Rudess memberi tekstur di latar belakang – semacam orkestrasi. Portnoy diberi kesempatan memanfaatkan jeda dan diiringi oleh Myung pada bass. Permainan gitar lebih bersifat petikan dan pada segmen ini praktis tak ada riff gitar dimainkan. Kibor banyak berperan. Pada akhir dari Pola D ini kibor memberikan permainan altar yang menawan.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Pola A (7:37 – selesai di menit 11:16)</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Pada menit ke 7:37 (diawali dengan transisi) musik kembali kepada Pola A seperti pada awal lagu. Namun jangan salah, meski polanya sama, tapi tekstur permainannya sungguh beda sekali dari Pola A di awal lagi. Tetep pola ini menggunakan riff gitar yang berat sebagai dasar namun diselingi permainan kibor dan gitar yang berbeda. Teksturnya menggunakan permainan intro namun dibalut dengan permainan seperti riff, disambung dengan permainan bass dan kibor dengan nuansa yang berbeda. Rudess memberikan sentuhan permainan kibor yang bener2 menawan di sini, terus disambung dengan gitar solo Petrucci. Ya Allah &#8230;..indahnya permainan musik ini! Apalagi saat double pedal bass drums Portnoy bermain konsisten sebagai altar – uwediyaaaannn!!!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Meski Pola A ini pengulangan dari Pola A awal dan tekstur melodi pada intro lagu dan transisinya, namun tak membuat suasana bosan. Setiap segmen di dalam Pola A akhir ini indah. Apalagi di akhir lagu ada sentilan gitar persis seperti pada bagian intro – selama 20 detik.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Kesimpulan:</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Lengkaplah sudah keindahan alunan musik <em>Stream of Consciousness</em> ini yang memiliki melodi yang bagus sekali, harmonisasi antar instrumen yang terjaga rapi, kompleksitas aransemen yang njelimet, serta perpindahan tempo dan style yang cepat namun dibarengi dengan transisi (bervariasi antara 10 detik – 20 detik) yang mulus sehingga kita tanpa terasa telah dibawa ke pola musik yang berbeda. Bagaimana dengan structural integrity? Di sini lah tantangannya &#8230;.Bila sebuah lagu memiliki perpindahan tepo dan style cukup sering, apalagi dengan aransemen yang kompleks, maka structural integrity mungkin agak kurang. Namun &#8230;. Dream Theater memang jawarnya PROGRESSIVE metal (bukan metal progressive) sehingga structural integrity ini terjalin kokoh, solid, kohesif dan sempurna sekali. Lagu ini tanpa cacat sedikitpun! Rating buat lagu ini: 5/5.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">JRENG!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Buat Michel, yang merekomendasikan saya buat menikmati lagu &#8216;Voices&#8217; dari album Dream Theater &#8216;Awake&#8217;&#8230;..</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pagi ini (Sabtu, 24 Desember 2011) jam 5:30 saya berangkat ke Foresta BSD mau gowes bareng temen2 satu klub gowes &#8230; Selama perjalanan aku simak rekomendasimu ttg VOICES dengan volume kenceng (maklum di mobil sendirian) mulai dari track sebelumnya &#8230;. Aku jarang setel lagu per lagu di album yg merupakan pertama kali kenal DT ini &#8230; Aku suka sama 6:00 karena itulah lagu pertama yang membuat saya kagum dengan musik DT. Aku biasa nyetel Awake ini secara keseluruhan album &#8230;keknya musik prog paling nikmat kalau diputer penuh satu album &#8230;.itu kebiasaanku dari dulu sejak jaman kaset bajakan &#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Adapun tentang VOICES:</strong></p>
<p>Overall aku setuju banget bahwa ini lagu keren. Memang ini salah satu favoritku di album ini namun gak hafal judulnya apa. Namun memang gagah dan melodinya bagus banget. Aku setuju bahwa lagu ini memenuhi kriteria yang aku uraikan dalam 5 komponen dengan catatan:</p>
<ul style="text-align:justify;">
<li>Dari segi <strong>kompleksitas</strong> aransemennya, menurut aku gak terlalu rumit, kelasnya masih samalah dengan musiknya Rush, begitu.</li>
<li>Perpindahan tempo dan style juga sering terjadi namun kurang berani mengeksplorasi style yang sangat berbeda hingga sampai terkesan abrusif. Coba bandingkan dengan Stream of Consciousness yang banyak eksplorasi gila &#8230;push the musical envelope harder &#8230;.hingga sampai membawa pikiran kita paralyzed mencapai multi-orgasme di beberapa titik kulminasi yang nyebar cukup banyak selama lagu dinikmati. Di SoC banyak banget abrupt changes namun manis terasanya &#8230;.</li>
<li>Structural integrity &#8211; otomatis bagus&#8230;lha wong musiknya gak terlalu banyak meliuk-liuk &#8230;telikungan sinkopasinya masih kurang dibandingkan SoC. Jadi, structural integrity ini sebenernya is the great challenge. kenapa? Sebuak komposisi yang kuat di strukturnya belum tentu memnuhi kriteria progmet yang ideal soalnya kalau gak dibarengi dengan telikungan2 yang berani, maka unsur PROG nya hilang. Contoh: Kamelot &#8220;The Fourth Legacy&#8221; (lagu) atau &#8220;Forever&#8221;. Kedua lagu ini strukturnya bagus, namun gak prog blas alias power metal doang &#8230;.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Kesimpulan:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Voices tergolong <strong>progmet yang bagus</strong>, namun masih di bawah Stream of Consciousness kadarnya. Keduanya saya suka, namun SoC yang bagi saya menohok hingga ulu ati paling dalam. Lha wong kalau menikmati SoC rasanya aku di bawa ke langit ke tujuh saking nikmatnya alur musik dan tantangan2 sinkopasinya. Makanya, maaf harus jujur, The Miracle gak pernah bisa pas membawakan lagu ini. Tapi kalau disuruh bawain Voices aku yakin The Miracle bisa persis PLEG 95 % &#8230;.. (vedy, reza &#8230;ojok nesu yo &#8230;). Jangankan The M &#8230; Wong DT aja kalau bawain LIVE kelabakan keponthal-ponthal kok &#8230;liat aja <strong>harmonisasinya gak senyamleng</strong> studio version &#8230;. kenapa? Lagu SoC itu rumit pol! Percayalah!! Kalau prog kuno, lagu ini kayak lagu Genesis &#8220;The Battle of Eping Forest&#8221; tingkat kerumitannya. Makanya Genesis gak ada official live version yang bawain lagu ini &#8230;.adanya yang bootleg .. (bener gak Bayu?)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">By Hardani Kristanto</span></h3>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Selamat sore mas,</span></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Hendak berbagi cerita sedikit tentang hasil perburuan kaset rilisan YESS yang biar super jadul (lebih dari 25 tahunan lho) tapi super gedongan itu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Hari ini, tepatnya sore jam setengah tigaan, diantara beberapa messenger yang datang ke kantor, ternyata ada satu bungkusan kotak lonjong kayak box emergency lamp. Tertulis alamat yang dituju khusus buat pak kristanto dan pengirimnya seorang kaskuser dari kota Cimahi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Ini dia yang aku tunggu sedari kemarin, sejak deal transaksi hari Senin yang lalu &#8230;&#8230;</span></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Langsung dah saya buka dan saya foto, sesuai janji saya pada yang empunya blog gemblunk ini. Bisa dilihat di foto, bungkusnya aja gak kalah sama amazon, pakai seal pengaman segalai (amazon perasaan gak pernah, makanya order kadang2 pecah casingnya).</span></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Dan bisa dilihat saudara pemirsa dan pembaca, betapa mewah dan gedongannya isinya, baik sewaktu masih terbungkus plastik, maupun setelah saya jajarkan di atas meja kerja.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/yess-kris-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2936" title="Yess Kris-1" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/yess-kris-1-e1324648997763.jpg?w=450&#038;h=337" alt="" width="450" height="337" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/yess-kris-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2938" title="Yess Kris - 3" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/yess-kris-3-e1324649486488.jpg?w=450&#038;h=335" alt="" width="450" height="335" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/yess-kris-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2937" title="Yess Kris - 2" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/yess-kris-2-e1324649229498.jpg?w=450&#038;h=335" alt="" width="450" height="335" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Pertanyaannya kenapa kaset yang Gong &#8220;Gazeuse!&#8221; saya taruh paling atas ? Tak lain tak bukan ya karena belum lama disinggung dalam blog ini. Saya belum punya CDnya, makanya saya juga gak bisa ikut komen di tret tersebut. Ntar saya dengerin dulu ya, baru komen &#8230;</span></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Kebungahan (d/h kegembiraan) saya rupanya terbaca oleh rekan kantor, dia tanya kok saya ceria banget sore ini padahal pagi tadi saya sempet ngeluh greges katanya &#8230;.  Nah, terbukti kan kalau kaset Yess, selain gedongan, juga bisa nyembuhin masuk angin, hahahhaha &#8230;</span></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Saya harus jujur, kalau kegembiraan karena memperoleh kaset yang masih mulus2 ini, melebihi kenyataan bahwa hari ini rekening saya bertambah saldonya, LHA wong hari ini gajian kok, hehehe &#8230;</span></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Akhirnya saya hanya mau ngucapin happy long weekend buat temen2 prog di sini, sementara saya akan coba habisin waktu di antaranya dengan nikmatin kaset2 nuansamatik tersebut &#8230;.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">(Tadinya mau kirim tret ttg album barunya Arena, terpaksa harus saya tunda, karena Yess jelas lebih gedongan daripada CD, hehehe &#8230;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Welcome back my friends to the YESS that never ends &#8230;.</span></div>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Met pagi mas G dan rekan-rekan blog yang selalu progging..</p>
<p>Begini jadinya kalau seorang penyuka musik yang iseng dan kurang gawean seperti aku, tiap ada waktu luang diisi dengan kegiatan yang gak jauh-jauh dari musik juga.</p>
<p>Ceritanya aku punya lumayan file donlod-an mp3 E.L.P yang aku dapat atas bantuan istri (yang curi-curi waktu senggang di kantornya donlod lagu-lagu prog pesenanku).<br />
Karena audio player di rumah kurang mumpuni untuk support mp3 alias sering error reading dan kebetulan juga aku lebih suka denger lagu dalam format cd biasa (kalo mp3 kebanyakan jadi cape dengernya,hehehe), akhirnya iseng-iseng aku comot-comot file mp3 E.L.P tadi kemudian aku burn via software Nero, lalu setelah jadi aku buatkan cover sederhana. Karena gak cukup dalam single cd maka aku buat ke dalam double disc dan tadinya masih akan ada lanjutannya tapi keburu software Nero ku &#8220;file corrupted&#8221;, rusak dan belum aku re-install jadinya baru 2 seri yang ada.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/dsc00725.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2931" title="DSC00725" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/dsc00725.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/dsc00724.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2932" title="DSC00724" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/dsc00724.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Kompilasi ini banyak yang live version dan dari awal bukan dikonsep jadi &#8220;the best of atau greatest hits&#8221; tapi lebih sederhana: hanya kumpulan lagu-lagu E.L.P, makanya banyak lagu top mereka gak atau belum termuat disini.<br />
Pendek kata ini merupakan hasil keisengan seorang hippienov yang mencoba menghargai musik kegemarannya (prog) dan salah satu band prog favoritenya (E.L.P) dalam bentuk cd.<br />
Mohon maaf jika banyak kekurangan yang ada..</p>
<p>Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, ladies and gentlemen: Emerson, Lake and Palmer..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">By Hardani Kristanto</span></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Biar blog guendhenk ini tambah seru, saya coba sumbangkan sedikit koleksi “baru” yang ada di almari. Saya pribadi sebetulnya kurang menyukai CD kompilasi, kalaupun ada beberapa kompilasi macam Super Hits atau Mega Hits itu lebih karena apresiasi sama istri yang memang menyukai lagu2 pop, termasuk suka banget sama album Genesis yg ngepop &#8220;Invicible Touch&#8221; itu. Dahulu di majalah Muziek Ekspres selalu disertakan Top Chart 20, nah khusus yg genre-nya rock, selalu saya tandai dengan lingkaran pada nomornya (jaman segitu blom ada yang namanya stabillo), dan nuansa tersebut masih saja tersisa kalau melihat track list di kaset atau CD kompilasi.<br />
CD kompilasi bertajuk &#8220;PROG ROCKS !&#8221; dan &#8220;PROGRESSIVE ROCK &#8211; Trilogy&#8221; ini terbeli secara ngga sengaja, ceritanya beberapa minggu yang lalu pas akses ke situs Amazon, coba2 cari informasi tentang album barunya Galahad yang memang belum ada tanda2 akan dirilis, malahan dapat info album anyarnya neo prog Arena yang rilis Dec&#8217;11 ini. Ketik ini itu, setelah kehabisan ide, tahu2 di kolom search terketik &#8220;prog rock&#8221; &#8230; Lha yang muncul di screen ternyata album2 kompilasi, tertarik juga  untuk melihat detail track list-nya. Setelah lihat harganya yang sangat bersaing, yaitu sekita £.4 untuk yg double CDs dan £.6 yang isi tiga keeping CD, maka saya langsung proceed. Nah, hari Jum&#8217;at minggu yang lalu ada paket datang dan ternyata isinya pesenan beberapa waktu berselang.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/20111217-00131.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2923" title="20111217-00131" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/20111217-00131.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/20111217-00138.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2924" title="20111217-00138" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/20111217-00138.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/20111217-00137.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2925" title="20111217-00137" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/20111217-00137.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/20111217-00133.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2926" title="20111217-00133" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/20111217-00133.jpg?w=360&#038;h=270" alt="" width="360" height="270" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sejauh ini baru keputer sekali dua, dan saya pikir track list-nya juga biasa2 aja, kebanyakan ya lagunya band yang udah kondang, macam Flower Kings, IQ, Pallas, PFM, deelel, saya justru tertarik dgn grup2 yang belum saya kenal macam Oceansize atau Family. Yang cukup menarik adalah lagu2nya Pink Floyd yang dibawakan oleh Adrian Belew &amp; Alan White di &#8220;Speak to me/ Breathe&#8221; atau Keith Emerson &amp; Dweezil Zappa pada nomor nuansamatik &#8220;Run Like Hell&#8221;, lumayan menghibur.<br />
Tak lupa saya membayangkan kalau saja kompilasi2 tersebut direkam oleh YESS, semacam Heavy Slow dahulu, alangkah gagah dan gedongannya album2 tersebut.<br />
Keep on rockin&#8217; &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">

<p>Review by <a href="http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=405"><strong>Gatot</strong></a><br />
<span style="color:#dc143c;"><strong>SPECIAL COLLABORATOR</strong> <em>Honorary Collaborator</em></span></p>
<div><img src="http://www.progarchives.com/static-images/4stars.gif" alt="4 stars" border="0" /> <span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Well crafted composition backed with excellent performance</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">When I was first introduced to this band by a colleague prog head, he reckoned that this is a good neo-prog band. I was just a bit skeptical when I first heard the term &#8216;neo-prog&#8217; where it depicted clear picture into my mind that would be music which comprises dragging long sustained keyboard work in relatively slow paced music &#8211; like what i had with the music of Cosmograf &#8211; that was quite boring to me &#8230;.or maybe my mood is now more on heavier side of prog with bands like Symphony X or Hakken and the like. But I then gave it a try couple of days ago. It amazed me with the kind of energy this band has throughout the tracks they offer through this album. To my surprise I could stay with the album until the last track because I could sense the joy of listening to the album. Then I tried to find who actually the band is.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">From its official site, the band was originally intended as a side project in 2007 by the former Sieges Even-members Arno Menses (Vocals) and Markus Steffen (Guitars). The first result of this collaboration was the song ?A Wallflower On The Day Of Saint Juliana&#8217;, which made its way to the 2007 Sieges Even album &#8216;Paramount&#8217; under the title ?Eyes Wide Open&#8217;. The two gentle men left Sieges Even in summer 2008, looking for adequate musicians to turn SUBSIGNAL into to a real, functional band. The first guy to join the new outfit was bass player Ralf Schwager, known for his work with German progband Dreamscape. The line-up was completed with Drummer Roel van Helden, known for his collaboration with Dutch band Sun Caged, and Dreamscape&#8217;s David Bertok on keyboards.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Even though the music of Subsignal is different than Yes but the way the vocal line sings reminds me to Jon ANderson. That&#8217;s why my first impression was just like Yes plays neo- prog / progressive metal because there are clearly many heavy riffs throughout this album that reminds me to Chile&#8217;s Crisalida. Last month I was introduced to Cosmograf and there waere many good reviews down here which it&#8217;s hard for me to find my agreement as the music was so mellow and made me sleepy and tired having to listen another neo-prog music. But this one by Subsignal is different as the album demonstrates high energy neo- prog music like what Marillion pioneered during Fish era. Of course this one is not like Marillion as there are many heavy riffs that remind us to progressive metal.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">I found myself engrossed with the music since the opening track until middle of the album without having a sort of bored situation and it continued nicely until the concluding track. From the opening track &#8220;Feeding Utopia&#8221; that basically a straight forward neo-prog music it moves nicely to &#8220;My Sanctuary&#8221; and finally I reached track 5 &#8220;As Dreams Are Made On&#8221; where I found great orchestration in the middle of relatively tempo music offered by this track. It then moves into mellow track &#8220;Wingless&#8221;. I really find joy in listening to the album as the music is quite varied in style, combining the mellow and heavy riffs from all tracks provided here in the album. This is represented with track 7 &#8220;Finisterre&#8221;. The album&#8217;s title track &#8220;Touchstones&#8221; reminds me to the kind of Pallas music especially in the ambient opening track with keyboard solo. The music flows nicely from mellow into a bit of heavier part using guitar riffs but still maintaining great overall melody just before the vocal enters. For me, this is an interesting track from start to end with various tempo changes, vocal line reminds me to Jon Anderson in some segments. There are parts with simple piano touches that make the music sounds richer. The concluding track &#8220;Con Todas Las Palabras&#8221; as an excellent track that reminds me to Yes &#8211; but of course this album is MUCH better than the latest Yes &#8220;Fly From Here&#8221; album.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">In conclusion, I consider this album as an excellent addition to any progressive music collection with neo-prog subgenre. Well, actually there are many heavy riffs that may sound to you like a progressive metal music. Fans of neo-prog must have this album &#8211; and see how different the music with other typical neo prog music that usually boring and sleepy. Keep on proggin&#8217; &#8230;!!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Peace on earth and mercy mild &#8211; GW</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Di sebuah forum FB ada yang tanya seperti ini:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><em>Buat yg ngalami masa kejayaan kaset produksi YESS ada yg tau sejarahnya dan dimana dulu perusahaannya,juga siapa pemiliknya?Pengen tau kenapa dia punya ciri khas tersendiri mengenalkan grup 2 Progressive.Setahu saya dulu mahasiswa ITB yg bikin label ini,sesudah itu saya &#8216;blank&#8217; tak tahu lagi&#8230;.. tapi kepingin tahu lebih banyak&#8230;.salam.</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dan ini jawaban panjang saya :<br />
(Maaf panjang soalnya jiyaaan &#8230;nuansamatik mbrebes mili kalau inget masa jaya Yess saat itu)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Wah unik ceritanya &#8230;.. Kalau ditanya siapa yang punya, saya tahu orangnya dan lupa namanya &#8230;.yang jelas dia punya toko mebel di Jl. Veteran, Bandung (saat itu). Mungkin karena jiwanya pebisnis, dia hanya melihat celah investasi di bidang rekaman musik saat itu tanpa harus tahu musik apa yg harus direkam.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Yang menjadi Diamond Records, dengan label YESS, menjadi yang kita kenal akhirnya adalah sang Arsitek yang menentukan musik2 jenis apa yg seharusnya direkam Yess. Dialah seorang sosok pendiam bernama I&#8217;an Arliandy. I&#8217;an ini pula yg menentukan PH apa saja yg sebaiknya dibeli oleh Yess di Dotrecht, Belanda melalui kerabat dekat bernama Roy. Roy ini orang Belanda yg beristri org Indonesia shgg setahun sekali ke Indonesia. Roy ini yg selalu mengikuti perkembangan musik di Eropa dan selalu memesan PH sebelum dirilis (pre-order) dan kemudian dikirim segera ke Indonesia via Kantor Pos Bandung. Sekurangnya seminggu sekali selalu ada kiriman PH yg tiba di Kantor Pos Bandung. Saya bahkan pernah diajak I&#8217;an mengambil paket PH di kantor pos Bandung.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Saya dulu memang lebih sering nongkrong di markas Yess Jl Veteran ketimbang ngikutin kuliah &#8220;Operations Research&#8221; yg njelehi itu &#8230;.ha ha ha ha &#8230;. Tiap hari saya nongkron di toko Jl Veteran sambil menunggu rilisan kaset baru sebelum toko2 lain di Indonesia menerimanya. Saya sering melihat proses pengepakan ratusan kaset yg akan dikirim ke seantero nusantara. Toko Yess digawangi oleh Ihok (Wanto) adik kandung I&#8217;an. I&#8217;an hanya kadang kala ada di toko karena beliau lebih sibuk di proses produksi kaset secara massal. Saya pernah dimintai pendapat sam I&#8217;an tentang beberapa sampel musik dari PH terbaru. &#8220;Menurut kamu musik seperti ini perlu kita pasarkan gak?&#8221;. Sungguh, saya merasa tersanjung dimintai pendapat okeh Sang Mahaguru Prog tersebut. Bahkan, lebih berharga ketimbang mendapatkan nilai A dari matakuliah Sistem Produksi yg saya jarang hadiri kuliahnya itu &#8230;.ha ha ha &#8230;. Ancuuuuur!!! Prog is number one, and then study (if there is no prog activity &#8230;. Ha ha ha &#8230;.).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pengalaman mengesankan yg tak kan bisa terlupakan seumur hidup adalah saat diberi kaset mock-up berisi rekaman band baru yg namanya saat disebut I&#8217;an gak saya ingat kecuali kata &#8220;Lion&#8221;. saat disetel di toko, saya langsung NJUMBUL kegirangan karena musiknya indah di intronya. Kemudian I&#8217;an menyuruh saya mempelajari mock-up tersebut di rumah. Saya bawa kaset tersebut buru2 ke kos2an saya di Sekeloa dengan gowes ngebut (saat kuliah di Bandung, saya memang gowes kemana-mana pada 3 tahun terakhir kuliah saya). Sampai di kamar kos2an kaset telanjang tadi saya putar di sound system saya (tape deck Fisher, ampli NAD seri 3030, speaker AR18) &#8230;.. &#8220;So here I am once more&#8221; THENG! (Jangan tertinggal bunyi THENG nuansamatik ini!) &#8220;In a playground of a broken heart &#8230;&#8221; Aduh &#8230;..Gusti Alloh &#8230;gagah nian musiknya &#8230;..!!! Saya terpaku dengan kaset ini selama tiga jam nonstop duduk di depan sound system menikmati kaset telanjang yg kemudian bertajuk &#8230;.ah ..tentu Anda tahu&#8230;.. Bayangkan..!! Tiga jam nonstop kaset ini bolak-balik saya setel!!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Saya cukup dekat dengan I&#8217;an dan keluarganya. Kami berteman hingga seperti keluarga. Anak sulungnya, Ricky, mengikuti jejak ayahnya menjadi progger sejati. Ricky pernah main di Jakarta dan tinggal di tempat saya. Ketika saya bekerja di Batam (1985 &#8211; 1990), saya pernah menerima kiriman PH album terakhir Marillion era Fish &#8220;Clutching At Straw&#8221; (1987) yg dikirim via kantor tempat sy bekerja McDermott melalui alamat Singapore supaya cepat. Saya sempat menikmati dan merekam sendiri ke kaset PH tersebut sebelum PH tersebut saya paketkan ke Bandung. Jadi &#8230;.maaf ya &#8230;bagi yg saat itu beli album Clutching At Straw rekaman Yess, saya sudah memiliki dulu albumnya sebelum Anda menikmatinya &#8230;.he he he &#8230;..</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I&#8217;an dan keluarga saat ini tinggal di Jl Sumbawa Dalam, Bandung. Setiap ada kesempatan ke Bandung, saya usahakan ngeprog bareng sama dia di rumahnya atau di kantornya di kawasan Pasir Kaliki. I&#8217;an adalah sosok pendiam yang low profile sehingga selalu menolak diwawancara siapapun, termasuk kru M97 meski saya yang memintanya. Begitulah I&#8217;an &#8230;. Jasanya terhadap perkembangan prog di negeri ini cukup signifikan. Sayang &#8230;.kaset Yess tinggal kenangan &#8230;. Saya hanya sempat koleksi 500 buah saja kaset Yess dari sekitar 700 lebih seri kaset Yess &#8230;. Bila masih ada, saya yakin Yess juga bakal merekam band2 seperti Beardfish, Pain of Salvation, Spock&#8217;s Beard, Glass Hammer, Magenta, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, Transatlantic, The Flower Kings, Magic Pie, Tony Levin (kesukaan I&#8217;an hingga kini) &#8230;.dll. Biyuh &#8230;.!!!Kebayang gak sih? Indahnya menikmati musik dari kaset djadoel &#8230;..sambil liat inlay dari CD yg dibeli di era digital ini &#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">JRENG!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Selamat pagi temen2 sesama penggemar prog dan claro &#8230;.. Apa kabar pagi ini? Tentu semangat! Wong prog gak adalah yang gak semangat &#8230;.meski banyak masalah. Ya nggak? (bilang &#8220;Ya nggak?&#8221;nya sambil menaikkan alis mata tiga kali keatas-kebawah &#8230;.)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Gara-gara menikmati kaset Bruford kemudian Allan Holdsworth, akhirnya perjalanan menikmati musik via kaset sampailah pada album GONG &#8220;Gazeuse!&#8221; ini. Lha &#8230;.. ternyata saya lupa menulis review tentang album yahud yang direkam di pita Maxell UD (ultra dynamic) dari perekam GEDHONKAN (jarene bro Apec sama mas Kris) Yess&#8230;.. Kaset Gong Gazeuse! ini bernomor seri 234 (lha &#8230;.kok Dji Sam Soe!!!! baru nyadar pagi ini euy!) dan baru saya beli tanggal 28 Januari 1982 di Jakarta (kayaknya pas lagi liburan semester &#8230;.he he he he &#8230;).</p>
<div id="attachment_2902" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 370px"><a href="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/img06593-20111215-0833.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-2902 " title="IMG06593-20111215-0833" src="http://gwmusic.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/img06593-20111215-0833-e1323915733146.jpg?w=360&#038;h=480" alt="" width="360" height="480" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Kaset Yess seri Dji Sam Soe (234)</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Album ini bagi saya sangat istimewa karena setiap tracknya menyuguhkan komposisi yang luar biasa indahnya. Kalau ingin menikmati alunan gitar menohok dari Holdsworth cobalah putar lagu Espresso yang merupakan pembuka dari album ini. Juga lagu kedua Night Illusion yang juga menyajikan eksplorasi permainan dahzyat sang maestro gitar. Tentu &#8230;.tak hanya Holdsworth yang perlu mendapatkan perhatian, karena permainan drum (Pierre Moerlen) dan perkusi juga keren punya boss &#8230;.! belum lagi balutan bebunyian vibraphone dan marimba yang sangat mewarnai musik Gong menjadi unik.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pada track ke tiga Percolations kita akan dibawa kepada nuansa musik perkusi yang sungguh dinamis. Di bagian awal sih musik yang relatif mellow namun enak dinikmati. Namun di bagian tengah hingga akhir &#8230;gilaaaaaa&#8230;..!! Permainan drums, timpani dan perkusi nya bener2 megah dan dinamis! Apalagi kalau dinikmati dengan volume kenceng! Dijamin ngguweblaaaaaaakkkk &#8230;!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pokoknya album ini KERRRRRRREEEEEEENNNN&#8230;&#8230;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Jangan ngaku prog kalau gak koleksi album dahzyat ini!</p>

<p>Review by <a href="http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=405"><strong>Gatot</strong></a><br />
<span style="color:#dc143c;"><strong>SPECIAL COLLABORATOR</strong> <em>Honorary Collaborator</em></span></p>
<div style="text-align:justify;"><img src="http://www.progarchives.com/static-images/4stars.gif" alt="4 stars" border="0" /> <span style="color:#0000ff;">What have I done wrong? How come I have not written-up my views about an album that meant a lot to me being a symphonic prog loyalist who really love Gazeuse! album by Gong? I don&#8217;t know why &#8211; it&#8217;s probably I keep following recent developments in progressive music that makes me over look this album from any of my reviews so far. In fact I have not reviewed much about Gong. Well, my history about this album dated back to days when I was so amazed with the guitar work played by Allan Holdworth. I thought I knew him the first time when I purchased UK debut album. He&#8217;s just a terrific guitar player who has his own style of playing &#8211; and quite unique in a sense. My colleague then introduced me with another album by Bill Bruford &#8216;One of a Kind&#8217; where Holdsworth played guitar. And then finally this album by Gong.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>It&#8217;s just amazing &#8230;!</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">That was my first impression the first time I played the cassette I purchased on this album. Even from the opening track I could sense how the music would flow through all tracks in the album. The album created a clear image of how great music should be composed and performed excellently to satisfy the listeners. I don&#8217;t really care whether this is much more jazz-rock or prog. In fact I thought the album has many prog elements if you consider it as a pure jazz-rock fusion music.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">The opening track Expresso (5:58) blew me away the first time I listened to it as what I would have expected, i.e. wonderful guitar work by Holdsworth satisfied my needs. He is just marvelous. The track is basically a relatively fast tempo kind of jazz-rock music style with strong accentuation of guitar riffs and solo. Not only that, the drumming wok by Pierre Moerlen is really great and it&#8217;s becoming an important component of the music. There relatively many changes tempo and styles throughout this highly energetic track.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Night Illusion (3:42) follows beautifully with heavy riff guitar as intro part followed with guitar solo backed by solid basslines and dynamic drumming work. In some parts I find some similarity with Chick Corea music &#8211; even though it has different textures. The guitar solo by Allan Holdsworth is stunning.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">The third track Percolations, Part 1 + Part 2 (10:00) is basically a very unique one as it combines the ambient style with energetic, high-energy type of music especially during the combined work of drums, vibra, marimba and vibraphone that makes this track is quite different from any typical jazz-rock composition. Right after first four minutes of mellow and ambient style, the song then moves into a highly energetic style where drums work collaboratively with timpani, marimba and vibraphone. I do enjoy this later part as it&#8217;s basically an enhanced drums. Why do I say it&#8217;s &#8220;enhanced&#8221;? It&#8217;s predominantly due to its great combination with other instruments. Yes there is part where drums play by its own but at the end it&#8217;s augmented by other instruments as well. I personally enjoy this track because it&#8217;s energetic. I have to admit great guitar skills demonstrated by Pierre Moerlen.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Shadows Of (7:48) continues to indicate the jazz-rck nature of this album. Right after intro part, Holdsworth gives his guitar work. What follow is then a great flute solo that enriches the overall composition followed by long sustain flute work. The stunning guitar work by Holdsworth returns back to the music after flutework. I really enjoy the guitar solo part from this track.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Esnuria (8:00) is another excellent track opened beautifully by drums and percussion work in relatively long duration until the overall music starts to roll. Allan Holdsworth continues his virtuosity in playing his guitar. Tenor sax and vibraphone play critical roles in its overall composition. I really enjoy this track as it has great composition and performance. What&#8217;s so important also is how bass guitar, vibraphone and drums create good platform for soloist &#8211; including tenor sax &#8211; to perform their respective contributions.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Mireille (4:10) is basically a mellow track that provides the opportunity for Allan to play his acoustic guitar work. In some parts the guitar playing style reminds me to Paco de Lucia style.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Highly Recommended album</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Overall, this album is an excellent addition to any progressive music collection. If you love jazz-rock, this is definitely yours. But if you are not &#8211; I think you still can articulate the components of excellent music. It&#8217;s a 4+ rating overall. Keep on proggin&#8217; &#8230;!!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Peace on earth and mercy mild &#8211; GW</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pada jaman kaset bajakan, saya pernah dilungsuri kaset Rock N Jazz 2 dari kakak saya Jokky:</p>

Padahal kaset masih bagus suaranya ...</p></div>
<p>Lagu-lagunya enak di kaset kompilasi ini. Namun ada satu yang bener-bener membuat saya penasaran, yaitu lagu pertama di side B bertajuk &#8220;Jadoo&#8221; yang berdurasi pendek, sekitar 3 menitan, tapi keren banget. Temponya cepat dan musiknya jazz-rock dengan pukulan drums yang dinamis banget.</p>
<p>Beberapa tahun kemudian menemukan CDnya di Aquarius dan ternyata ini diambil dari album &#8216;Cross-Collateral&#8217; (1975).</p>

<div style="text-align:justify;"><img src="http://www.progarchives.com/static-images/3stars.gif" alt="3 stars" border="0" /> I only knew the band when I saw one of the song, the third track &#8216;Jadoo&#8217; was featured in a compilation cassette titled as &#8216;Rock&#8217;n'Jazz 2&#8242; in 1976. I was amazed with how the track is a dynamic jazz-rock composition performed in relatively fast tempo. I did not imagine by that time that jazz could be performed in such speed. Things that impressed me in addition to its fast speed, the drum work was so excellent combined with keyboard and brass section. Since then I tried to locate the full album and finally I found out that the whole album of &#8216;Cross-Collateral&#8217; is really an enjoyable one. The opening track &#8216;Homunculus&#8217; (6:09) is nice jazz-rock outfit with excellent drumming at opening part and as it flows with the music. The electric piano / organ solo is also nice throughout the track. But what I really like about the album despite Jadoo is the second track &#8216;Cross-collateral&#8217; (13:38). I especially enjoy the soprano / tenor sax dynamic solo on top of dynamic drumming work augmented with electric piano work. I think the drumming style of Curt Cress is as good as Billy Cobham &#8212; especially when I refer to &#8216;Spectrum&#8217; album. In fact I like this track more than Jadoo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The other tracks &#8216;Will-O&#8217;the-Wisp&#8217; (6:15), &#8216;Albatros song&#8217; (5:18), and &#8216;Damals&#8217; (4:38) are also good tracks to enjoy especially if you like sax solo backed with powerful drumming. Yes, the drumming part makes PASSPORT music&#8217;s quite unique and enjoyable. Keep on proggin&#8217; &#8230;!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Peace on earth and mercy mild &#8211; GW</p>
