So here we finally have some more of the South East Asian Anthology from the Musikwissenshaftliche Institut der Universität Basel. The whole series comprises of sixteen LP records and one CD. This is the first of four LP's with ritual music from Bali. There is also one more LP with contemporary Gamelan music from Bali, that I will also post, and again I can happily report that we have received very good help from a long time follower of this blog and true friend in music to fill in the lacunae. Only a few days ago, at one of the Luobaniyan consulates, we received a beautifully made DVD-R with all necessary material to post three of these records. The rips were of highest quality and all was a delight to edit and prepare! Fortunately this seems to be an increasing trend and we have recently got more promises of material from several other followers of this blog that want to help to contribute. Several of the records they mentioned would fit like hand in glove here in Luobaniya, and I am confident that we shall all be merry once these audiograms will appear here! As a special bonus, several of the recordings on these records have the added bonus of chirping crickets here and there where the music slows down! I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!
