about

Musicians of STSI Denpasar, Bali’s famed National Institute of the Arts, play a wide range of works in Bali’s most popular and dynamic musical style. They are led by I Wayan Berata, the elder composer, teacher, and gamelan maker who played a pivotal role in the development of kebyar music during the late twentieth century. Three of Berata’s compositions or arrangements are included in this volume. The players, drawn from the senior faculty of this national academy, are among Bali’s finest, regarded at that time as a kind of musical all-star team. Recorded on the STSI Denpasar campus, January 1992.

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
