From the soundtrack to the Indonesian film "Memories of My Body," scored by rising Indonesian singer-songwriter/producer Mondo Gascaro — whose 2016 solo debut "RAJAKELANA (Traveling Wind)" was a superb slice of soft rock/AOR city pop — two tracks sung by Mondo himself have been cut to 7-inch!!!
"A1. Apatis" is a melodic rock number that glides into motion from a gentle keyboard intro. The song itself is a cover, but with its crisp key changes, soaring vocals, and the contrast between elegant string-laced arrangements and wild guitar, it's pure Mondo through and through. Flipping the mood, "B1. Dari Seberang" is steeped in saudade — a weightless, floating piece that reveals a Brazilian music influence, another gem bearing his unmistakable stamp. The sleeve features rounded corners and comes with a company sleeve made by Production Dessinee. Limited first pressing of 300 copies.
