Side A:
- M.A.Y. - Sketsa Sebuah Cinta
Typical Hair-Rock power ballad. Same version as on their "Dilema" LP debut. - D'FEBIANS - Bukan Untuk Selamanya
There's a tasty piece of True Metal(tm) meat in the middle, though it's padded between 2 slices of medium-rockmetal white bread. - BURNMARKS - Snooker
The kind of moodfilled & melancholic Metalrock that often gets a 'prog'-something stamp because of the keys, but it's way too straight forward for that label. I'd call them a delightfully exotic Asian Demon. Probably the same version that appeared on their s/t debut on the same label in 1988. - SCANDALS - Penantian Yang Tak Pasti
Fast album-opener Heavy Metal with hit-potential, though it's not really original or memorable enough to count as a Hit in real life. - METALIAN - Gerimis Rindu
I think this is a failed attempt at sounding upbeat and the tune is all the better for it, delivering something quite the opposite. Thank those hoarse vocals and that trademark Asian melancholy.
Side B:
- METALIAN - Aku Dengan Caraku
Forgive me, oh ye Lords Of Metal below for not remembering which classic olde NWOBHM-rocker they've nicked that lead riff from - I should know better and am not worthy of thy grace...
schmallad. Later turned up on the Malaysian "Retro Rock 2" comp CD in 2004.
Another ballad - Now with added piano for extra hate. Later featured on "The Essential BURNMARKS" CD in 2011.
...though in all honesty, guitars don't make shit ballads any better.- M.A.Y. - Gadis Misteri
Imagine a band who wants to be early Mötley Crue but are just to fucking Sad to pull it off. Now let's contemplate weather failing such an attempt really is a bad thing? Same version as on their "Dilema" LP debut.
