This is the sixth Dewa Budjana album in my collection, and for $5 at a 50% promotion, it's a real steal! Well, I have to admit that I'm a big fan of his early albums, released when he wasn't a star yet, worked with local musicians, and included a fascinating far-east folk feeling in his compositions. The latter is almost completely missing on this most recent album of his, starring part of the who is who of fusion. It's well-done middle-of-the-road fusion most of the time, but alas, nothing exceptional. Even Mohini Dey's technically perfect bass wizardry is not really touching. The highlights are, in fact, both of the songs contributed by John Frusciante, "Crowded" and "Zone".

I keep asking myself with each new album that Mr. MoonJune, the incredible Leonardo Pavkovic, announces as another gem from Indonesia, if I really need it... ... and after listening into it, the answer always seems to be: Yes, of course, this is, well, another gem from Indonesia! OK, technically speaking, the core of this music has been recorded in Spain by an international outfit of top instrumentalists, led by Indonesian keyboard master Dwiki Dharmawan. East meets West, highly recommended!
