I haven't heard Sujiwo Tejo previous album & never watch his theatrical play before. I first hear his song "Hujan Deras" from his latest album "Syair Dunia Maya" (Poetry from the Virtual World) on MTV one morning, and love it so much. This song was so melodious even I didn't understand some of the lyric. Amazing orchestral arrangement. I also like "Panakawan & Saya" :)

One of my "mellow" friend like her song very much. So I asked him to send me some of her new song (first of may, longer, when I dream). After I listened to it. I found out why he like her song very much, Emi's voice was sweet and her english was so clear. Her sweet lullaby makes me smile, so I make a promise to myself that I'm gonna look for her cd next time I shop. So finally I found this remarkable cd: "Camomile extra - Emi Fujita".

Camomile is the result of a collaboration between Japanese vocalist Emi Fujita and Norwegian musicians Rita Eriksen and the band VAMP (Oyvind Staveland, Tobjorn Okland and Carl Apeland). The album has a total of 14 tracks, ranging from traditional Irish ballads to contemporary pop tunes. Some of the songs I like very much : Moon River, Wishes (le couple ver.) & Red is the Rose. mmmm imagine one raining afternoon listening this music, acompany with a good book & a cup of tea... :) perfect.

Last night, when I was eye washing (cuci mata) at Disc Tarra, suddenly my eyes hook on a new cd by Maksim : variations part I & II, and without a second thought, I bought it. The cd was so amazing :) This cute guy can turn some classical pieces into a collosal music. But unfortunatelly this cd is using a cd protection technology, so I can't extract it into mp3 and enjoy it whenever I want.

The cd consist of 2 parts, Part I : kolibre, piano concerto no.1 in b flat minor. 3rd movement, merry christmas mr lawrence, totentanz, olympic dream, amazonic, 'leelos' tune, procession of the sarder, and Part II : bohemian rhapsody, pictures at an exhibition, etude in d sharp minor. 'patetico', nocturne in e falt major, aria from goldberg variations, pagrag.
