ANTHEMS 2000-2011 : Anthem. (triple disc limited edition version)

Dari tulis pasal burung Caribbean Pink Flamingos ke China Giant Panda ke Jepun punye Anthem.

As usual it will be a dual ramble in both Malay language and English.

Firstly my still UNHAPPINESS -yes I know its been like two years since Eizo Sakamoto leaving the band (AGAIN!!!!!!!),
and then after that, onwards to my opinion and not so review about this latest release.


THIS IS JUST RELEASED A FEW DAYS AGO IN JAPAN!!!...
and I got it so quickly... Thank you Postal Staffs. For Me About To Japanese Rock, I Salute You!

Aku masih tetap sampai sekarang fikir aku lagi suka Eizo Sakamoto jadi penyanyi Anthem dari Yukio Morikawa.
Mereka berdua ni macam main musical chair gitu, Eizo zaman dulu keluar, Yukio masuk, lepas tu bila reunion balik Eizo ganti Graham Bonnet lepas tu sekarang Eizo keluar Anthem lagi.. Yukio masuk balik..

Jadi sekarang Eizo dah nyanyi 12 album studio kot untuk Anthem.
Yukio dah nyanyi 5 album...

Aku lagi suka suara Eizo.

Tapi takpe... Anthem kepala dan tukang tulis lagu ialah Naoto Shibata - bassist dorang, dan janji gitaris dorang Akio Shimizu tetap maintain.
Drummer dorang si Homma tu dah keluar, Anthem dah pakai drummer baru, muda. 

Drummer lama kemalangan jalanraya, apa yang last aku tahu.

Cehhhh macam tahu2 je eh aku ni... Kalau salah sorry la.. Aku agak2 je. HAHA

Getting news and of course information on releases from Anthem is very difficult as I have no idea of Japanese language, information or relevant websites on the internet.

But when I do get my hands on them... Its all worth it.
So this is a new best of / compilation of Anthem from their Victor record company years.
So basically Anthem music label/record company releases are
1985- 1992 Lexus
2000- 2011 Victor
2012- present Universal Music. - (I think this begins with Live Unbroken blue ray/dvd disc.)

I understand Lexus have remastered from the original analog tapes of the 8 studio albums from 1985 to 1992 and will be releasing them on a boxset soon.

So this release is the Limited Edition 3 disc version of Anthems 2000-2011.
The first two are cds
The third disc is a DVD.

So on disc one and two.. total of 28 songs.
3 songs from the year 2000, the reunion album of  Heavy Metal Anthem whereby Anthem got RAINBOW's Graham Bonnet to sing for them, basically older Anthem songs with English lyrics.

4 songs each from the SIX albums that follows with Eizo Sakamoto joining back in 2001. Seven Hills, Overload, Eternal Warrior, Immortal, the personally I really love Black Empire and lastly Heraldic Device from 2011.

The extra song is ""Undefined Things"" - an instrumental during Eternal Warrior album recordings that was never released.

Walk Through the Night is included.. LOL!!!!!!

Best love song ever - "I love your innocence... I love your smile"", and that is only the English parts, how I wish I understand the rest of the Japanese lyrics...

NOW COME TO THE STRESSFUL PART!!!

On the DVD (the 3rd disc),

Besides the music videos, THERE IS also a ONE HOUR interview with Naoto Shibata on the albums that Anthem released during the Victor record label years.

ONE HOUR!!! what looks like an interesting and informative interview and I bloody dont understand it, and there is no subtitle.

What the #&^@!!! I am so disappointed.. but nevermind...

lastly on the dvd, there is a live video of Anthem during the Graham Bonnet years live.
Recorded sometime in 2000, I think I had reviewed a bootleg of Graham Bonnet show with Anthem in the past in this blog.
Its just one camera angle taken from the back, the quality is maybe from an old video tape.
But the Historic importance LOL!!!....
The song Love In Vain and Hungry Soul.

OK thats about it.....  More Anthem is coming....stay tuned. LOL!!!

Till then some Anthem youtubes..

This one I uploaded when I just got the Live Unbroken Blue Ray Disc.. I recorded it from the tv screen using my handphone LOL!!!  There are other fans who had their hands on this superb Anthem Blue Ray/DVD and uploaded better quality ones...

but still, check out BLAST/Akio Shimizu beautiful beautiful solo/HEAT OF THE NIGHT



and....

this crazy superb Venom Strike solo by Akio Shimizu..


Venom Strike Studio version was originally by Yukio but seriously I prefer Eizo singing it LOL!!

Yes and that drummer is now a permanent member of Anthem ( I think so...LOL!!)



LASTLY I JUST WANT TO SAY ITS AN INJUSTICE THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW OF ANTHEM.

WORSE, EVEN WHEN FANS UPLOAD ANTHEM SONGS INTO YOUTUBE, YOU GOT COPYRIGHT CLAIMS AND THE SONGS BECOME MUTE.

AND THAT IS A SHAME...  BECAUSE I BELIEVE THOSE WHO REALISED HOW GOOD ANTHEM IS, WILL SLOWLY TRY TO GET THEIR HANDS ON ANTHEM ORIGINAL RELEASES.


Anyway for some other Anthem releases that I had blogged about
click here, I think I got all tagged and not missing any..

Actually....

this Anthem release arrived the same day as another item....

continue next time.... A photo first.

River Safari - Caribbean Flamingos & Giant Pandas & tiger fish (pt i)

Salam semua...

Its my first time at the Singapore River Safari. basically the 3rd zoo , each with their own themes and specialities in Singapore with all situated in the same Mandai area. (THEY SHARE THE SAME PUBLIC BUS STOP!! lol!!)

As I had always love zoos, animal attractions and sanctuaries, I personally don't have any negative thing to say.

In summary, my personal opinion about these THREE zoos are:

- River Safari is a very very nice fantastic place and its windy LOL!!, 

- Night Safari is and always a simply spectacular awesome place due to its uniqueness and one of a kind place.. 

- but its still good old Mandai Zoo (the traditional daytime zoo) that will always be the very best for me. You basically can just sit down and stare and admire at your favourite animals from 8am to 6pm.

If you love nature, love animals, and you are in Singapore, I think you need minimum of two days to saviour all these three places, fair enough as Night Safari only opens when the sun sets.

So enjoy the photos, I will write some things that I had opinion or think its useful for me to share... next time..

Aku pun tak tahu ni burung2 flamingo ni dorang angkut dari Mandai Zoo nye enclosure atau ni baru nye sampai... 

Jadi... burung2 Caribbean Flamingo ni korang boleh nampak masa naik "sampan" nye pengangkutan tu kat satu "sungei"di River Safari...

Masuk bahagian ni, paling senang beli tiket bundle ngan River Safari nye naik boat..

Adults $8 dan Children $5.

Tapi take note ni tak termasuk bayaran masuk River Safari... dan dah termasuk enclosure Panda.. ada Giant Panda dan Red Panda yang sangat cute gitu Red Panda..

Tengok gambar bawah ni, korang naik serupa sampan mechanical gitu, kat saluran air dia gitu...

Jangan takut tak basah.. Ada la terhempas2 sikit sampan tu turun naik, tapi percikan air tak kasi korang basah pun...

OK la best la bahagian ni tapi korang kena laju carik binatang...ada broadcast la "to the left is...", "to the right is.... ""

tapi bukan nye binatang2 haiwan2 ni diri posing untuk korang, korang kena laju carik... dorang kat atas pokok la, sembunyik la, dalam semak la...

ni aku cakap ni yang amazon cruise ni la...

Sapa nak ambik gambar, ambik foto, hah...lagi kelamkabut la korang...

Nanti la yang lain aku cerita lain kali k...

Tengok ni Pink Flamingos... Cantik ok. 

OK moving on...

Kita settle kan Giant Panda dulu, seperti zoo Kuala Lumpur, ada dua Panda.... melayu panggil apa eh? Panda Gergasi kot? Panda hitam putih? Panda tak cukup tidur? haha.

Untuk Singapura punye, dorang split enclosure jadi dua untuk si dua ekor ni la nama dorang Kai Kai dan Jia Jia tak silap aku...

tapi dia back to back gitu, atau sebelah2, jadi bila bukak pintu je atau ruang je, dah kira dorang dah terus bersatu gitu.....

Cantik la,

Aircond kat enclosure ni tak yah cerita la, Sejuk Giler...

Ni Kai Kai...membuta je kerja dia.... tapi cantik kan enclosure dia?

TIDUR TERKANGKANG lak tu...

Ni bawah pulak pasangan dia....

Jia Jia... 

Pemalu sey... ok la pompuan kan. I mean panda betina.. Kai Kai biasalah lelaki panda jantan, pedulik apa dia, membuta terkangkang in public..

Aku tak reti ambik foto Panda la, si Jia Jia ni dia sama ada jalan cepat2, atau dia gi kat tempat hujung2 sembunyik malu2 gitu...

Seronok la kan, at the end of the day... Makhluk Allah ni semua ye tak?

Kebesaran Allah.. Something to ponder about...

Especially with all the Guruh noises dan Nasa pun dah masuk share, aku curious, AKU PUN MASUK YOUTUBE OK DENGAR>>>>>>

Ye la kot ni bunyik Sangkakala kan?

Ermmmmm seram ok bunyik dia.... tak dinafikan la kan...  Apa pun bunyik.. entah la eh..

Tapi apa pun, ni semua cerita untuk hari lain... 

Nanti sambung la kan... 

Aku tahu korang mesti nak satu at least ada dahysat2 sikit gitu... sorry la takde sangat la haha...

ok ok ni satu ni gezek sikit...

Tiger Fish. Dia takde apa ni? takde bibir eh? aku translation ni fail..

Tapi fierce kan? nama pun Piranhas of Afrika.. ni aku tengok ikan2 lain share aquarium ngan ikan ni mesti berdebar2 eh?

haha... ye la sebarang masa boleh kena gigit haha...

k bersambung...

early night with Marina Bay... and.... late night with David Letterman/Live on Letterman

Night, Malam.

Ni post huru hara, gambar makan stop kejap, rock2 nanti la pasal aku akan Avalanche banyak2 pasal rock ni semua next few postings LOL!!...
Lama tak ambik gambar malam/lampu ngan handphone.. Syok sendiri ok bila sesekali dapat snap walaupun bila tengok balik, foto banyak ke laut kualiti dia. 
Dan jugak aku nak tulis tribute aku sendiri kenapa aku rasa sedih jugak Late Night David Letterman dikhabarkan dah tamat siaran...
Dan jugak salah satu persembahan terbaik kat show2 David Letterman.. dari band yang pada aku paling "Hitam" la aku minat dan tahu dari aku sekolah sampai sekarang dah lama dah.



Marina Bay.... with my loyal HTC handphone of two years...
The photos are not really good, but not really bad either...

I guess its time to upgrade to a new personal handphone soon.. LOL!!
I would still go for a HTC I guess..

Late Night with David Letterman..

Its run is over after about 30 years or something?

There was a time, I used to stay up late to catch this programme, not exactly for the chats, the interviews, the Jokes - I NEVER ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND HIS NIGHTLY TOP TENS. I used to wish I have a better understanding of (American) English and (American) Humour so I can laugh along....

I used to watch David Letterman because on basically every show, he will have a guest artiste/singer/band who will play live in his show.
This was the chance for me to explore new music, to check out new bands/artiste that I may like...

Of course there are masters and monsters of music along the way....

Even when I don't have time to catch this show anymore, I try to follow up on the bands/artiste that plays on his programme...

Then there is a programme called "Live On Letterman" which is kind of an extension of the live performances on the same recording place of "Late Night With David Letterman", though this is performance of much more songs which is not necessarily appeared on the "Late Night...." show.

This is maybe one of my all time favourites performance from a Live On Letterman...

Depeche Mode - they did a selection of songs on this show about two years ago about the same time Delta Machine is released.

This is Depeche Mode doing Enjoy The Silence... Their drummer is not being utilize in full as their own live shows LOL!!!



When I was younger, for me Depeche Mode was the most Wicked, the most EVIL, the most BLACK, the most Frightening band I had ever known...though when Paradise Lost did Electronics which possibly could be they are fans of DM too, its simply astounding.
Paradise Lost was then basically even more DM than DM themselves...


Up to now, I still think no other band can touch Depeche Mode when it comes to being ""DARK"".

I hope to get an original copy of Live In Berlin... not so important but I want to have an original copy, especially as I enjoy Delta Machine album... I had reviewed or basically give my own opinion of it somewhere in this blog...
TWO YEARS AGO somewhere...

This is the same performance from the same tour from the Live In Berlin DVD, but of course with their Drummer having an extended run on Enjoy The Silence..'

and the impossibly body position of performers on the big screen. CONTORTED as it possibly can.. With just their facial features and eyes moving...

They only free themselves at the climax of this song..

Depeche Mode are simply Masters even after so many years.

/>




Aku tunggu tunggu tunggu. apa jadi sey yang orang2 yang tengah dalam posisi gini...
haha..

Mata je gerak, muka je gerak..adjust2 sikit....kalau drummer extended drum solo? haha...  TERPELEOT PERMANENT haha...
Aku macam dah... cepat2 abiskan lagu weiii cepat2 abiskan lagu ni!!! haha.

foto2 makan lagi (rushing sebelum bulan puasa... cewah!!) - ni kali makan2 yang ringan2 je...

Actually, bulan 5 sampai bulan 7 ni, banyak benda2 berkenan irama techno dan rock gitu ye tak? Powerwolf keluar album baru, Paradise Lost pun, korang dah dengar first song yang ada video tu?!! Giler babi nye slow la first song dorang yang dah release, back to old style satu2 nye band yang boleh tukar2 style dan tetap maintain - Paradise Lost yang lagi hebat dari Depeche Mode bila dorang main techno electronics, first song tu ending dia..ENDING dia aku suka..ok EXCITED ni dua Powerwolf dan Paradise Lost, lagik?...,Anthem Jepun siap dua release, lagi? Maiden United..HARI INI release, aku dah pre-order ok, ngan TSHIRT!! haha..aku suka Maiden United la, lagi?., Savatage Ultimate.. macam2 lagi la kan... Ohh Cover band Iron Maidenss aku rasa aku nak gi la... haha... XPDC aku dapat pegi, but Wings I wanna try to go...
Anyway ada tribute baru untuk Ronnie James Dio dari label Jerman kot? yang band2 obscure tapi aku suka pilihan2 lagu band2 tersebut. "I could have been a dreamer".... woohooo...

Apa pun..lets sambung pasal makan2...penat la cerita pasal poprock2 ni semua,


Sebelum Puasa, nanti bulan puasa aku tunjuk gambar2 makan, korang tengok sampai tergugat puasa, makruh la kan...akuuuu jugak salah... So kita banyakkan post gamba makanan sekarang sambil borak2..

Ni kali takde la berat2...ringan2 je... alas perut gitu.. cehhhh Melayu aku.

OK.. Bubur Sum Sum? Bubur Som Som? Apa lagi nama?
hah... doesn't matter janji sedap.

OK... Pasal kaler hijau... Air pulak....

Kegilaan aku jugak la first time rasa. First aku minum ni dah 2 bulan lepas?
JAKUN ok!! 
Tapi memang sedap...

SPRITE ZERO.

PEPES IKAN..

Aku baru tahu ada Pepes Ayam? Biar betik..
FEAR FACTOR kan? PEPES AYAM???

its something like ada ke otak otak isi ayam? very the pelik...

Kueh Kapit.. so called with tepung beras

Kueh Makmur Kacang... Warna putih la kan, kalau ada macam hijau2 gitu tu Kueh Makmur Gajus. GAJUS ok...  Cashew..

Kalau naik bas ekpress pagi kul 7, 6.40 gitu aku dah mendangok dah tunggu bas, so aku gi KK Mart kat TBS tu tengok makanan hari ni dah sampai belum..
kan aku dah cerita tampal gambar lagi, TBS nye KK Mart, kul 6.30 Pagi dah ada nasik briyani panas2...  tak la paling sedap dalam dunia, tapi ayam dia portion banyak.. dan since lapar atau nak isi perut so dalam bas ekpress terus tidur memang sesuai la kan...

OK OK, ermmm ni Mee Hoon Goreng or Bihun Goreng or whatever you called it...
OK la sedap la tapi tawar jugak la kan...
ye la takdelah spicy sangat..

Sebelum unboxing...dan selepas unboxing... Cehhh cam boxset gitu..

OK OK dah lepas makan sila buang elok2 eh... PLEASE KEEP TBS CLEAN.

OK OK last....

Kalau atas tu Mee Hoon Goreng, atau Bee Hoon Goreng... maybe its considered Malay style gitu....
Walau kalau melayu buat kadang2 warna putih.....

Ni pulak kalau Mee Siam kat Singapore...
Some dari korang panggil ni Mee Siam Singapura or whatever la...
Mee Siam Johor ke hapa ke..
Janji Sedap...

So ni... mintak kuah seperate....
Aku nye ada lain sikit pasal aku suruh taruk tempeh ngan bergedel...
limau kasturi tu tak nampak lak...hehe...

takpelah...
Anyway its hard to find gerai melayu with the best taste for this, ada gerai terlampau masam sangat, ada terlampau manis sangat...
Nak cakap pedas tu, untuk aku Mee Siam ni bukan sesuatu yang pedas la...

Bersambung banyak ni foto makan ni tengah Q ni dalam folder...cehhhh..folder sey.

Arsenal, Everton, Stoke, Singapore XI - Barclay Asia Cup. 4 Games in 2 Nights.

Kita tinggalkan kejap pasal makan2 dan rock2 ni semua untuk cerita pasal bola..

DISCLAIMER, mungkin ada korang jenis "holier than thou" I suggest korang buat bodoh sua jangan baca...tapi kalau nak baca jugak dan tetiba rasa bangga "self-righteous " tu datang kat hati korang, kalau nak lahar aku, Lahar aku dalam hati korang je la..


Macam sejak beberapa tahun lepas, Off season/Pre-Season Liga Inggeris khasnya dan Liga2 Eropah lain amnya, bertembung ngan kalender Islam bulan puasa dan awal Syawal.. Mungkin ni akan berterusan hingga berapa musim lagi... kecuali dunia kiamat, perang dunia ketiga, ada epidemik satu dunia, atau MATI dan sebagainya..

Contoh tahun lepas raya kedua ke raya ketiga? dah lupa.. Barcelona...
It was ridiculous kan? Last minute tak mau main kat Bukit Jalil pasal condition padang dorang tak berkenan waktu training depan penonton.
Either swap stadium or Barca wont play.
Hah kau, dah macam pelarian ok besoknye tiba2 nak kena naik komuter pergi Shah Alam, seberang highway kereta banyak, seberang rel keretapi kat pagar yang dipotong.. Very Bahaya for Public Transport Users. SERIOUSLY. Anyway seminit pun Messi dorang tak turunkan. 
At least kita masih bayar tiket Komuter, ramai orang tak bayar dah,... semua main panjat gantry je pasal dah last train.

Aku suka tengok bola kat Bukit Jalil, pasal LRT selalu dorang akan arrange kalau game abis lambat ada train LRT masih in service...
Tapi this Weekend final Lion XII lawan Kelantan, tak gi la..
Aku pernah dulu baca, dengar cerita, all those legendary Kapak Siam stories when predecessors of both these teams meet long long ago....... amazing scenes it must be zaman tu with all those Kapak Siam...

It should be a crazy final. I hope.
Lion XII will basically be mostly or all budak2 Melayu local tanpa sebarang pemain import, coached by Fandi versus The Red Warriors, who I have an affection for.

Anyway, just got these...
Lupa lak nak beli awal...3rd night dah start jual baru terhegeh2 beli online..
Abis la...nak dapat seat best

EVERY SEAT IS NOW NUMBERED IN THE NEW KALLANG STADIUM.
GOOD. VERY GOOD.

Arsenal main first game 8 lebih la kot..
Hmmmmnnnn...Takpe seat dah numbered so boleh keluar masuk haha.....
Tak yah bimbang seats orang lain ambik...


So this year takdeperal, kita plan raya Singapore pulak...

and kebetulan... Arsenal is coming Singapura pulak..WAHH MACAM DAH JANJI!!
Untuk piala yang, satu2nye piala yang diiktiraf Liga Inggeris diluar England kalau tak silap aku.

Barclays Asia Cup. Selalu setiap tahun diadakan di Hong Kong, tapi tahun ni pindah pergi Singapore.
Tunggu la giliran kat KL kot lain kali?

OK, so tahun ni...yang ambil bahagian
Arsenal - No Ospina, No Alexis - Copa America just finish by then... Please Please Brazil dont select Paulista... LOL!!!
Everton
Stoke City a.k.a The Orcs From Mount Doom
Singapore XI - yang aku harap dorang panggil balik semua2 tu kat JDT 1 and JDT 2 sekali.

Tiga Hari sebelum Raya...
Everton lawan Stoke - first game
Arsenal lawan Singapore XI - second game

Sapa menang masuk final, sapa kalah lawan 3rd 4th placing..
Final dan 3rd/4th placing ialah Hari Kedua Raya Puasa...

Aku nye harapan, padang aku harap tiptop... tu hari Juventus main, Teves satu minit pun coach Juventus tak berani nak kasi..... satu minit pun Teves tak dapat beraksi...
Takut injury...

tapi aku rasa sekarang dah ok la....   Stadium kadang2 canggih ngan boleh tutup bumbing semua la, hujan tak kena la apa, with roof la, abis tu rumput tu nak tumbuh cammana kalau dah tak cam mana satu sinaran matahari ye tak?
Mahal weii aku baca beli floodlights cam stadium Emirates pakai tu nak kasi rumput tumbuh cantik dan sihat.. Floodlights tu simulate sunlight, jadi rumput ingat ada cahaya matahari so dia tumbuh cantik dan sihat la... cehhh aku macam betul je, tapi its one of the concerns la...

OK...

Aku most harap..
-Arsenal takde injuries... tu je.... AKU TAK MAU DORANG JUMPA STOKE... ENTAH SAPA NYE KAKI LAK KENA PATAH NI KALI!!!!!  !#(^$ #!@%*(#(@!!!!!!!!!!!
-Budak2 melayu Singapore enjoy dan dapat benefit main ngan dua club Inggeris yang tengah pre-season. Salah satu dah confirm ialah Arsenal.
-satu malam bukak roof, satu malam tutup roof. Baru thrill.

So COYG..

And please don't fuckin screw up against Aston Villa in the F.A Cup Final..

I will be at work when you play the final next week, my body is at work that night, but my spirit is at Wembley..

CEHWAH!!!

p.s

ok ok...

Spurs pun nak datang kan? Shah Alam ye....

HAHAHA... ooohh takkan la nak terkejar2 seberang jalan kaki kat highway, masuk lobang kat pagar seberang rel komuter malam2 gelap2..untuk team paling tongong ni kan?
hahahaha....

OK OK... Liverpool kat Bukit Jalil pun kan?

hmmnnn thats a thought...

tapi.. Wings kat Istana Budaya...hmmmmmnnnn
XPDC Merdeka Stadium aku confirm tak pergi la, aku kerja la tu malam tu weekend, tak mau la ambik annual leave..rugi.
UVIANHELL/Portdy please tape the XPDC show please.
Aku tahu dorang rakam malam tu, tapi aku nak Unedited/Uncensored/Completely Pure Fan Audio of what happened. Thank you.

ok ok ni semua lain kali sambung k....

GESSLE : OVER EUROPE - (cd + dvd)

Dari Lemang kita cerita pasal Sweden pulak...

I really really love this release.

The cd-ripped is still a hot favourite in my mp3 player on my daily 4-5 hours travel to work. LOL!!

Helena Josefsson's voice is simply magical...

As usual allow me to speak a bit in my Bastardized Malay Language and then a bit of my broken English in the end.

Masa Marie (1/2 dari Roxette) kena tumbuhan or barah otak, yang dia sembuh, tapi mata dia buta sebelah kanan, Yes, mata dia dah buta sebelah tapi tetap Roxette live tetap dahsyat (aku tape ok live dorang tu hari dorang main kat Indoor Stadium, bootleg tu aku ada taruk kat youtube channel aku sapa berminat, ok la sound tak hancur sangat )... Aku harap dorang datang sini main lagi sekali. Main la kat KL jugak so boleh tengok dua kali next tour ye tak?..
Terbaik la, pukul abis la Roxette main live kalau banding ngan band2 lain. Setiap lagu ok!! Setiap lagu adalah singalong.... Tersangat HAPPENING persembahan dan sound dorang. Rock abis.
Aku rasa dorang mesti stress giler nak pilih setlist.

Anyway, Per nye solo band musicians pun ada yang main untuk band Roxette jugak.

OK, so masa Marie sakit kat otak, Per Gessle main solo buat album solo, dan lepas Marie sembuh, Marie pun buat album solo tapi aku tak follow Marie nye solo,
tapi Per Gessle nye solo apa yang aku dapat follow, memang terbaik...  Champion abis.

Per Gessle sebenarnye ada keluar satu boxset banyak giler cd kat dalam boxset tu, siap banyak Demo Roxette tak silap aku. MAHAL giler boxset ni, untuk pasaran Sweden ke hapa ntah.
Aku tengok je kat tenet boxset ni haha.

Jadi waktu Per Gessle jadi artis solo, dia kalau main live, selain bawak lagu2 solo albums dia, dia jugak bawak lagu Roxette, terutama lagu2 Roxette yang Marie nyanyi, dinyanyikan oleh Per jadi memang seronok la kan. Dan Per pun memang songwriter dan lyrics kebanyakkan semua Per jugak, dan suara dia pun sedap... Actually kan, kadang2 lagu2 Marie ni kan, sebenarnye lagi sesuai untuk Per nyanyi.....
Contoh Queen Of Rain, Per nyanyi lagi sesuai dari Marie la pada aku.

Hantu ok lagu Queen Of Rain ni bila Per nyanyi... there are 50 rooms one of them lead to your heart, there are 50 beds one of them lead to your soul... DREAM ABOUT THE SUN -YOU QUEEN OF RAIN!! cehhh HAFAL! haahaha.

Listen To The Heart, ermmmm, aku rasa Marie la, tapi Per version ada backing vokals pompuan yang best...



 Sedap kan suara si Helena Josefsson tu kat belakang tu? suara hantu kat tiga2 lagu ni...

Actually, kalau sapa korang dengar bootlegs live Roxette, ada satu bootleg famous dari brand lagend Bootlegs zaman factory pressed dulu KTS LABEL dari Italy, dari soundboard, zaman Roxette nye tour untuk album Joyride tak silap aku kalau aku ingat betul la, London nye show...
Ada soundboard Switzerland nye show yang full show famous tu kan, tapi KTS label yang Roxette live in London tu sound dia dah macam Live After Death haha. Bootleg tu, tapi memang terbaik. Mana entah lanun Italy tu dapat soundboard dia...

Kat show tu, aku rasa versi IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE terbaik dalam sejarah aku dengar Roxette la, pasal sususan lagu tu untuk tour tersebut memang hebat ada Per nasik tambah "but its over now"aku suka sangat...
lain2 tour, sususan lagu tu ada lain2 sikit, so dah takde that part prominent sangat......

OK, ermmmm... aku ada sikit2 la Roxette Freak ok? hahahaha....

Mungkin kalau aku boleh pilih satu je band Sweden aku pilih Roxette.

Walau of course Sweden banyak band rock lain yang sama best sama handal, contoh macam LOST HORIZON. Aku kadang2 rasa janggal gitu bila internet panggil LOST HORIZON band Power Metal. Pada aku Lost Horizon lebih2 sangat dari Power Metal. Dorang main music inter-galaxy inter-stellar cosmic  power Krypton Millenium Progressive Full Battle Gear AT-AT Falcon Boba Fett gitu haha.. Aku harap dorang reunited si Daniel Heiman tu sila kembali ke LH. Cuma suara kamu je sesuia untuk band ini.

(Aku nak tanya kejap... sapa antara korang ada rasa sedikit terkedu bila tengok trailer #2 episode 7, yang dorang premiere masa ada stage event kat Amerika tu hari?", yang last part "CHEWIE! We're home. Cepat sapa rasa terkedu? SAPA NANGIS????", sapa tetiba kejap berapa saat gitu, jadi budak kecik balik? berangan jadi Vic Morrow main combat2 meniarap dalam longkang?.. Aku confirm ada meleleh air-mata sikit tengok trailer #2 Star Wars Episode 7 kan? Giler la STAR DESTROYER crash kat padang pasir, then millenium falcon main kejar2 ngan Tie Fighter kat exhaust enjin Star Destroyer tu...!!!") ok ok aku stop..

ni boleh buat topik lain... haha... just hanya trailer nombor 2 tu sahaja... NANGIS OK TENGOK TRAILER TU!! trailer #1 takde apa...trailer #2. Memang out of this world.

SAMBUNG balik..


OK, tapi apa pun, lagu2 solo Per Gessle pun seperti aku cakap gerek2...
Dulu kat tenet ada full upload dvd ni, dah kena katup kot.

tapi aku strongly cakap kalau korang minat Roxette, ni memang good buy.,




"hey Mr DJ would you play another love song...
No more talking if you please ".

HAHAHA. Zaman dulu kan, dengar radio, siap kaset kosong... lagu best je kan, ke program permintaan tujukan lagu je kan, standby nak tekan rekod.

Nanti wahhh dapat tekan rekod sebelum lagu start, tapi nanti lagu dah start DJ sambung berbual.

KONGAJAR!!!  dah lain kali pasang balik kaset tu dengar lagu2 pujaan, ada suara DJ menyibuk!!

So what can I say about this album?

BUY IT. 
Seriously great stuff this album.
21 songs for the CD version
and of course on DVD you got a full show of 24 songs, and plus extra videos and others.
Just slightly more than half are Roxette songs, and with an opportunity to enjoy Per singing Marie songs...
The rest are his solo works, and his singing partner Helena is amazing on this release.

THE BEST THING IS -
The CD versions are from different countries and cities in Europe
and the DVD version is from a single show in Sweden.

So basically you have different versions for each song for both the disc.
Its really nice...

LEMANG SETIAP HARI, Ketupat Palas & Lontong Daun - semua makan ngan Rendang - title tersangat world.

LEMANG/KETUPAT PALAS/ LONTONG DAUN -
Semua makan ngan 
Rendang nasik ambeng.

Bulan puasa nak dekat, so aku rasa semua pasal makanan aku nak cerita baik aku cerita sekarang...

Botok-botok dah aku borak tu hari, so lain2 pelan2 menyusul...

Gelak la korang tu hari ada komen makanan Botok-Botok macam FEAR FACTOR.

So.. kita orang kat rumah memang suka makan Lemang, so nasib baik jugak la kat pasar Terminal Larkin Johor Bahru berapa gerai baik dalam bahagian pasar basah atau gerai2 jual kueh-mueh ada jual Lemang ni. Jadi tak yah nak tunggu raya atau susah2 nak carik....

Jadi quite often aku nak balik KL je, sebelum naik bas ekpress aku beli la.. Aku suka beli kat gerai ni satu ni kalau aku nak beli Lemang..
Sila cuci mata layan foto2 apa yang dijual di gerai tersebut... Korang tahu la kan gerai mana aku cakap ni kalau korang tengok gambar2 ni....

Dalam bahasa Inggeris, LEMANG deskripsi nye ialah -

1. Lemang is a traditional Indonesian, Malaysian, Singaporean food and made of glutinous rice, coconut milk and salt, and cooked in a hollowed bamboo stick lined with banana leaves in order to prevent the rice from sticking to the bamboo.

Berbalik pada gambar tu, nampak?? Ada lontong daun tu...

OK tengok lagi gambar....

lama tak makan ketupat daun kelapa eh.. bukan ketupat palas macam kat atas tu tau.... ketupat daun kelapa...
Anyway ketupat palas dalam foto ni satu RM80sen.

Dalam tupperwares tu macam2 la... ada the kuehs, ada all the acars, pickles, sambals.. and whats not.

Okie Dokie...

kalau makan Lemang or Ketupat Palas or Lontong Daun (kalau takde lauk Lodeh)  lawannye mungkin macam2 la kan? tapi satu feberet ialah RENDANG.

Ok yang ni pun aku memang kira bernasib baik....

Pasal kat pasar Terminal Larkin baik kat gerai2 pasar basah atau gerai jualan makanan terutama gerai2 NASIK AMBENG...

ok ok, kalau kat Johor ke, Singapore ke, top hits jugak la kan Nasi Ambeng ni.. Paham2 la Jawa konker.


OK so rata2 pilihan rendang yang paling disukai ialah yang gerai nasik ambeng siap bungkus2, korang tahu gerai mana kan?
Ni yang kat first floor kat belakang kat tempat teksi Pak Wan Cha. You get what I mean??
Hah...

OK, gerai ni, daging rendang ni dorang jual pakai timbang ok...
ada komputer nye timbang... so takde agak2...

Gerai2 lain tak boleh challenge la, pasal mungkin rendang gerai ni memang khas untuk bungkus nasik ambeng ye tak?


Gambar contoh... tu serunding kelapa.

Sorry la mintak maaf banyak2...

dah makan2 dah kenyang baru nak ambik gambar...

Ni pulak Lontong Daun and ketupat palas yang beli kat Pasar Larkin kalau lawankan ngan Rendang gerai tu dan sambal tumis, also beli ready made kat Pasar Larkin.

Aku dah beli, aku kena naik bas ekpress,

sampai KL kena naik LRT ,

kena jalan kaki lagi...


petang all at home so kita makan....

So masih sedap.......

Gambar hiasan contoh lagi...

Dah makan baru ambik gambar...

Ni baru real...

Lontong Daun..

Zaman sekarang semua macam nasik impit... lontong semua buat dalam plastik...

Macam makan chemical gitu la kan?

Zaman dulu mana pakai plastik ye tak? semua ori......

bau wangi, cantik, sedap,

Even kalau kat Johor/Singapore sekarang gerai2 jual lontong pun rasanye gerai2 pakai nasik impit style gitu...dah tak pakai lontong daun...



I hope korang tak confuse, lontong tu aku panggil untuk lauk Lodeh yang lemak sayur tu makan ngan Lontong daun ni or nasik impit or what you called it...

Bersambung....
