Description/Reviews: 

For his 11th solo recording Dewa Budjana brings his trademark melodic sound imbued of mystic and delicate south-east asian music through even harder edged-progressive flights and raw contemporary rock stirrings. Whether he is moving in the realm of contemporary prog, highly crafted electric jazz or south-east asian traditional music, he never holds any fear that the earth under his feet can turn marshes.

Description/Reviews: 

 It's basically hard/prog rock, but one unique thing about the album is that the majority of it is rather midtempo and even a little moody. It's a pretty interesting take, but I think it works well. There's plenty of prog goodness to go around with time signature changes and nice instrumental breaks and stuff. Impressive performance all around from the musicians.
