Ariesta Birawa Group

Pure, heavy psychedelic with a good progressive Indonesian touch. Band members include: Oedin Syach, Jeffry Zaenal and Noerche.

Their first and only album Vol.1 was released in 1973, this is the first CD version of this psychedelic pop album. Much of the inventive melodies, delicate harmonies, and breezy guitars are rooted in the '60s Western tradition but contain enough twists on the genre to give the tunes a subtly unique flavor. While not terribly groundbreaking, this album does hold the distinction of being the firstavailable psychedelic album from Indonesia.
