Album lore
Breaking the Barriers of World Music, issued by CMP Records in 1997, assembles twenty-one tracks spanning a range of global traditions, with a marked emphasis on Indonesian gamelan and percussion forms. The album’s centerpiece, “Tabuh Jagra Winungu,” exemplifies the intricate layering of metallophone and gongs characteristic of the gamelan ensemble, rendered here with deft precision. Alongside, pieces such as “Ketawang Angleng” and “Laras Slendro, Patet Sanga” delve into the nuanced modal systems endemic to Javanese music.The compilation also ventures beyond Indonesia, incorporating Middle Eastern improvisations like “Taqasim On Violin” and “Longa Farahfaza,” as well as South Asian influences exemplified by “Thumri Deepchandi.” Though modest in circulation—garnering a modest nineteen Last.fm listeners and just over two hundred scrobbles—this assemblage serves as a valuable document of cross-cultural dialogues in the late twentieth century, preserved on a label known for its dedication to non-Western musical forms.
