Discus - Dua Cermin
1999
Indonesian Prog/Jazz/Rock Fusion
"The music is a veritable patchwork of jazz, fusion, Sundan traditional and Balinese music, contemporary classical and classical chamber, pop, pop jazz, prog rock, heavy metal and dissonant avant-garde. In short, the band tackles just about every imaginable genre that lies between Pink Floyd and Weather Report. The vocals follow a similar pattern, featuring both male and female vocalizations that can be normal one minute and hysterical the next."
Quote Hasan and the record label blurb here, "We are a
progressive rock band with a lot of influences ranging from
jazz, classical, fusion, Gamelan, metal, electronic,
impressionism, ambient, experimental, minimalism, jazzy
vocal pop, etc. We are influenced by a lot of different music,
even contrasting music. I think The Dixie Dregs,
Mahavishnu Orchestra, Rush, Chick Corea, Gamelan music"
