SPACE GAMBUS EXPERIMENT: The Discovery by MOLOKO

The time just past midnite, I was in this modern contemporary hotel- HOLIDAY INN SURFERS PARADISE- Gold Coast, Brisbane, Australia. It's already Tuesday, & the date shown on my iPod is 12012010. I've just checked-in the hotel an hour ago. Just had my warm bath, & now is my late nite routine, sipping a warm Earl Grey while reading the news paper, THE STAR, with an iPod plugged to both of my ears! After a few flips, I'd laid my eyes on this articles, written by Rizal Johan;-

THE SOUNDS OF JUPITER

Sedetik kemudian.. Ingatan aku kembali teringatkan KAMAL SABRAN! Rakan sebatch Saat Omar, yang sama-sama pernah menuntut di 'Universiti Tolong Melayu'- UiTM! Ironiknya, aku hanya 6 bulan junior, jika dibandingkan dengan kedua bro aku ni. Ironiknya lagi, aku akui, aku terlepas pandang insan Kreatif Yang bernama Kamal Sabran ini, sewaktu menimba ilmu di Fakulti Art & Design, Shah Alam. Benar, aku hanya bertembung dengannya hanya di blog Saat Omar & miliknya, beberapa kali, hinggalah, larut malam itu, yang jaraknya beribu batu, dari tanahair, selepas aku terbaca tulisan Rizal Johan:- mengupas,- siapa Kamal Sabran & projek SPACE GAMBUS EXPERIMENT! Aku secara personal, akui,- AKU TERUJA!

Kalau satu ketika dulu, DISCOVERY aku terhadap Electronica Maestro ulung tanahair iaitu FATHUL & INFFECTIOUS MAGGOT, membuatkan aku cakap 'FUHHH....this is serious sh*t!' Feeling & ungkapan yang sama kini terdetik lagi sekali, selepas mendengar, serta melihat klips, & tracks karya Kamal Sabran di YouTube.

Kamal bukan Trent Reznor dari Nine Inch Nails. Kamal juga bukan Gary Numan, apatah lagi Jeff Buckley, - Kamal & Zulkifli Ramli bukan dari band Suicide! Tapi pada aku, VISION & KREATIVITI DUO,kadangkala TRIO ini, harus diberi perhatian serius, sebab komen ikhlas aku lagi, this is REAL! & IT'S PUSHING TO THE LEVEL THAT NONE OF MALAYSIAN ARTIST(musician@singer) WOULD DARE TO EXPLORE! Believe me, by just listening to few of the songs, it's just a MIND BLOWING EXPERIENCE! The Gambus, the Electroacoustic, the near silenced of the space soundscape, is so mysterious, yet, it lies a boundless, an immensed BEAUTY, waiting to be explore,- & I boldly believe, in my POV, this is what KAMAL SABRAN & Comrades are trying to craft & present. Indahnya bibit bunyi angkasa ini, semerdu suara Ustaz Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Melankoliknya sesyahdu 'hymm' Jeff Buckley! Komposisi Muzikalnya secomplicated@unik arangement NINE INCH NAILS! Itu hanya pendapat aku, -Moloko!

Towards my amazement, I already purchased SPACE GAMBUS EXPERIMENT- THE ALBUM, & it's on it's way to my cribs. Today, I'm one of Kamal Sabran's Blog Follower, & I'm keen to share some of my thought on the SGE album, -after A few spins. Me, That is Moloko, sincerely admit, this is one of my unique, henced- a trully promising, DISCOVERY in the beginning of the year 2010!
