When the Suharto regime opened Indonesia to Western Influence, its previously repressed rock scene went overground, and here collectors who prize the region’s vibrant native hybrids of acid rock, hairy funk and indigenous melodies reluctantly share highlights of their hard to snag stash.
It’s difficult to tell, from these twenty cherry-picked tracks, whether ‘70s Indonesia is, for collector scum, really the new ‘70s Turkey, but you’ll be glad you heard The Brims’ heavy-footed freak-out Anti-Gandja, and AKA’s Shake Me is a puritanical slice of bellbottom boogie.
