This album speaks volumes of the halcyon days where talent lived and breathed. Raw and undernourished, we survived on self-belief and kindness of mates. Which is why there'll always the undercurrent tinge of skepticism with today's silver-spoon bands.

Shouts to Shereene's Closet, SQUEER crew (how ARE you, Indera?), chill peeps from the Laughing Lizard @ NUS (or maybe it's the Grinning Gecko - Aida, Sikin, Botak, Pearlyn, Amran, Ju, Audrey, A-yong, Lingam... sorry if I missed anyone out, it's been a long time; 1998 to 2001). Warmest regards to Jack (EIC)... you made it, bro! It's one heck of a journey, but you made it.

This is music as music should be.


Amran (or anyone from Stroll): Really sorry if I've infringed copyrights and whatnot. This is really for good intentions. Drop me an email if you've got other ideas - I'll remove this post.
