Guruh Gipsy. 1975 private (MC)
***Reissued by La Munai Jun 2026
Incredible progressive rock album with strong Yes overtones combined with the local Gamelan musical tradition. This album avoids the lounge music trap that many of their brethren suffer from. The best vintage progressive rock from Indonesia. Interesting to note that Guruh Gypsy were formed by the son of Soekarno, the former president who was ousted by the ruling president of that time, Soeharto (thanks to the comment below!).

This is not right. Guruh is the son of Soekarno, the former president who was ousted by the ruling president of that time, Soeharto.
Thanks for the correction Luthfi. Poor research on my part - and you are of course right. Thanks again!
