ESSENTIAL LISTENING: SPACE GAMBUS EXPERIMENT

SPACE GAMBUS EXPERIMENT IS....

KAMAL SABRAN- ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC

ZULKIFLI RAMLI- GAMBUS@OUD

SPACE GAMBUS EXPRIMENT-not only it's a COOL titled but it's also a COOL Experimental, instrumental electro-'ambient' album that will make us believes, this is the sounds coming from the outerspace. Electro-Acoustic is the SPACE! & Gambus is the EARTH! That's the way I look at it. A brilliant 'metamorphism' for the both subjects, & now Kamal Sabran, finally presenting his ELEGANT SCI-FI AMBIENT SOUNDS TO US! It's not an easy task..it's also a bold moves..but when it comes to deep passion, everything turns to JOY!

RADIOHEAD, PORTISHED, AIR, NINE INCH NAILS, SUICIDE, DAVID SYLVIAN, GARY NUMAN, THE FLAMING LIPS, TOM WAITS, BRIAN ENO, RACHID TAHA, KHALED, PETER GABRIEL, NUSRAT FATEH ALI KHAN, ETC.. you list it, you name it, maybe SGE has a bit of this & that, a dash of him or theirs, but DARE I MUST SAY- SPACE GAMBUS EXPERIMENT IS HONEST & ORIGINAL. Not only that, it is the very owned, genuine sounds of Kamal Sabran & Zulkifli Ramli. This Duo certainly had 'Blown' me away by this released.

The SGE Album only cost RM$20. It contains 10 instrumental ambient tracks, that will insure, your listening session to be an unexpected exploration of Unique Soundscape based on Kamal's obsession on the mysterious sounds in the outerspace. The SGE Album lenght less than 30 minutes, but honestly- it will satisfy listeners & it has this 'Gem', that will make ones to be addicted to it. Kamal is the ELECTRO GENIUS, behind all this fusion of cosmic sound,- & indeed, without doubt, he rendered SPACE GAMBUS EXPERIMENT towards it's own CULT FAME!

Best to be played while you're in the verge to start-out your day, or while lounging at home, I mean relaxing. As for me,- I listen to it, late at nite while updating my Blog, or waiting for 'In The Mood For Sleeping'. Very inviting, calming & warmth atmosphere to listen at, with a fairly, not so bad sounding quality of a $20 CD,- A Product Made from Ipoh, Malaysia. On the iPod-Standard stock Ear-phones, it may sound fairly fair, but on standard car audio, or a decent priced Hi-Fi, it will resonates SUPERBLY! Trust me on this!

SGE CD comes with an interesting minimal cover, Booklet design by Kamal Sabran(himself) & team, themselves. A BRAVO again.








MY SCALE ON SGE IS 10/10!

AN ESSENTIAL FROM A VISIONARY MALAYSIAN ELECTRONICA DUDE! AWESOME BRO! A MUST HAVE!

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

He he he.... Whose there? Syyyyyyhhhhh.....

Peek -a- Boo! I've watch this movie last nite. At first glanced, it seems, like nothing is gearing up for excitement. Then.... It finally hit me!

An adaptation from a kiddie book writen by Maurice Sendak. It was given an adrenalin boost!-to project this 10 pages sweet charming child tales to something that is so moved too watch, as an adult.

I'm moved by the simple wicked, fun, easy tales of troubled estranged young MAX in the Company Of MONSTERS, led by mixed emotions- CAROL THE MONSTER!

Yes! It's an adaptation, but Spike Jonze had develop this short tales to an inspiring fantasy. Too me, this film
Kinda leap through a metaphor of a kid imaging himself solving a great problem of an adult world, that in the end appears to be, too confusing, & the best result is too back up, & let them(adult) move on to solves what ever need to be done. The Monsters, yes is a brilliant 'Hint' of an 'adulthood' that full of conflicts & apart from all the turmoil, lies the huge amount of spechless beauty! The scenary in this film was shot beautifully in Australia, & it kept me, feeling amazed just by watching the vast enchanted landscapes. Simply Breathtaking to look at!

It's a fun rides, I must say while viewing this film. But the MOST STELLAR SCENES:- I strongly believes(final chapter) is when MAX THE KING, KID was bidding his farewell to his fellow monsters, & Carol the monsters just made it on time to bid him the same, -LAST GOODBYE!

It's a simple scene,- yet I'm moved by the sentimental atmosphere. The sad howls by all the characters during that finale scene, had simply touched me, emotionally. I guees thanks to the melancholy soundtracks produced by Karen O- from Yeah Yeah Yeah.

A simplest thought!

***** CHARMING!
