Write-up by muse1453:
"The Exotic Sounds of Bali" is a terrific record from the pile of records that I bought at the library sale back in September. It prominently features the Balinese gamelan music that I assume is the most familiar form of Indonesian music with people outside of Indonesia. At the moment, I don't have much time to write more, but no doubt the liner notes that are included in the file will be helpful.
Tracklisting:
Side 1
1. Baris-Bapan {2:32}
2. Sekar Sungsang {3:43}
3. Tabuh Teluh {7:22}
4. Rébong {4:32}
5. Légong {4:53}
Side 2
1. Lagu Délem {1:32}
2. Selir {3:19}
3. Pemungkah {3:23}
4. Gendèran-Kebyar-Pandji Semeran {14:18}

thanks for re-posting this. gamelan recordings always appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI bought this sometime around 1968 after our drama teacher at high school played it in class. I guess it was my introduction to World Music. I have picked up a few more Balinese Gamelan albums since, but this is my benchmark recording. My turntable died a few years ago so it will be wonderful to hear this again. Many thanks!
