Guruh Gipsy – "Guruh Gipsy'" {Indonesia} [1977] @192 (psych prog rock)

Hi folks! This time we are in Indonesia with one of the greatest asian progressive rock masterpiece..here is a review i found:
"Guruh Gipsy ,Maybe many progressive rock freaks still are searching the amazing indonesian prog band. They released only one album named "Guruh Gipsy" on 1977 and many of the member still makes the music activity in Indonesia
...
This band was organized with the above members and the some additional members such as female back vocal and Gamlan player. Their casset tape was sold with the booklet(about 30pages).The purpose was the introduction of the Balinese music . The idea was origined by Guruh Soekarno. Their sound was mixture between the traditinal Balinese music and the progressive rock featuring some keyboards. Especially, "Indonesian Mahamaddeka",the first song of the Album ,is very amazing .the first part is the typical progressive rock sound like Elp. The second part is the very orginal sound which mixed progressive rock by mini moog with the Balinese music by Gamlan . After that ,the last part is also magnificent sound like the Italian prog. I must say again this album is master piece of asian progressive rock." Keep Listening!!

Crikey! This is amazing. Thought I'd never get a copy of this.
The first track is more like ELP-ish prog, nothing wrong with that, but after track 1, man, it gets really interesting and out-there. By the end it's pure gamelan music! Brilliant!
