CDs !

hello fellas! back again to my blog!this time I'm gonna review some records, and this time, all of the artists from this review came from Indonesia, these are the chosen local band, enjoy!


1.DVDBOY - Self-Titled


I heard about this band last week, when i go to Score! Citos to watch Trax FM's event called Terusik Traxkustik, i missed the first opening, sunset groove, pretty good. and the second opening came to the stage, the backdrop written"DVDBOY", then i saw a familiar face and i remember that person is a vocalist from Naif, yeah, David from Naif, and Uncle-Q. the music is electronic pop. the CD isn't that good, less packging, especially in track "Say Say Say" and "Dansa Selingkuh". tracks like "Dirimu (Putih Salju)" was easy-listening. the unwell-packaged CD were covered by their live performance, perfectly insane!. I bought this CD at the event, so i got bonus which is a necklace showing their logo like a geek boy.

the score for this record : 7.5/10



2.The Upstairs - Magnet!Magnet!


the second review came from the Modern Darlingsss! yeah, The Upstairs release the second album at Terusik Traxkustik. unbearable, their performance was perfect, neat playing and great stage act make them looks wonderful. Alfie, their bassist didn't use his bass guitar much, he make the bass sound from Alesis Synth. this kind of music is not that easy listening, sometimes we are dizzy if listening to this music. i cannot fully enjoy the whole record, easily get bored and to noisy. the packaging of the CD is wicked cool! there are view paper of the personnel picture and theiir photo together, so it's customizable

the score for this record : 8/10



3.Monkey To Millionaire - Lantai Merah


here comes the best record in this post, this band came from Jakarta, consist of 3 people. the sound quality of the sound in this record is perfect, for rock and roll and indie. i first attracted by the song "Rulse & Policy" then i started to explore the songs and history of this band. i've wait this record for 5 months since the end of 2008. the producer of this record is Josef Saryuf of Santamonica. i love every tracks in this record, especially 'Fakta dan Citra", "Replika", "Satu Nama", and "Strange Is The Song In Our Converstaion ft. Marsha, one of Trax FM'S radio host". a perfect album to buy, and a must have. the packaging of CD is great with beautiful artworks in it.

the score for this record : 9.7/10





that's all, phew

Hi Dimas,
Thank you for writing such a nice review on Lantai Merah, however just wanna correct a minor mistake, the female vocalist who's featuring in Strange is Marsha Suryawinata the radio host from Trax FM and not Santamonica :)
