I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

Wow, and I thought Indonesia was just gamelan and transvestite pop singers! Before I looked at the playlist I assumed that this was from somewhere on the African savanna. Like NGH says, really nice.

So is the Musiques des Batak sacred music? The vocal sounds like it could be from a mass. Just sublime and overwhelming.

hey, yousall
yeah, ngh, that instrument's a trip, right? there's a picture in the liners. it's a one-string unresonated fiddly bit. it's held vertically: hand on top, twixt toes at the bottom. a 2nd free string's tied to the bowed string & has a wooden disc at the end. the disc is held behind the player's teeth, the string taughtened..... bowcoder!

ted, according to the notes, that Adat remains from pre-christian/islamic days & is still central to their schtick. among other things, it involves ancestor worship.....including re-burial.

i'll give this virtual Gamelan link to you all:
http://www.cite-musique.fr/gamelan/
you can discover and play with a mechanical Gamelan, thus understanding the concept and the working of a Gamelan. Of course it will never match the witnessing of a live Gamelan, but there you can participate.
Enjoy!

An emusic compilation at http://www.emusic.com/album/Various-Artists-Smithsonian-Folkways-Music-of-Indonesia-Vol-2-Indonesian-Popular-Mus-MP3-Download/10882087.html lists Wuyung by Orkes Kroncong Mutiara, and the clip sounds pretty similar. Do you know if it's the same gamelan?
The compilation has an excellent cover.

For contemporary music, I really like a group called Electric Junkyard Gamelan. They make their own instruments, compose new songs based on class gamelan, and sound very authentic.
