Whisper Desire is one of the most talked pop bands in Jakarta Indonesia, but somehow they are still so underated. Even if some magazine try to blew ‘em up as the next big thing for 2007, but they’re not getting much bigger rather than they were in 2006. Well we all hope that they can get a more promising year in this 2008.
What do you think about the Jakarta indie music scene?
Perkembangannya udah bagus banget sekarang. Banyak label-label dan band-band baru yang bermunculan. Bervariasi lah intinya. Udah ga didominasi sama label atau band-band tertentu aja. Secara keseluruhan, eksistensi scene ini sudah lebih kuat karena apresiasi masyarakat terhadapnya juga semakin tinggi.
Ceritain dikit dong mengenai awal mulanya band ini
Awal mulanya kita cuma iseng2 aja..bikin band cuma buat menghabiskan masa2 akhir di SMA. Tapi ternyata respon orang2 cukup mengejutkan dan meminta kita untuk terus jalan, di situlah kita akhirnya memutuskan untuk mulai serius bermusik dengan nama whisperdesire.
Aktifitas loe sehari-hari sekarang apa aja?
Kita lagi ngumpulin materi untuk album. Doain aja 2009 bisa dirilis. Selain itu semuanya masih kuliah, kecuali untuk Gobel (bassis) yang baru aja mulai kerja di salah satu perusahaan kertas.
Menurut loe sendiri, musik loe itu seperti apa?
musik pop yang dipadukan dengan emosi serta pemandangan indah.
Personels
Freddy Aritonang : vocal
Rabindra Wisatrya : guitar
Mikael Mirdad : guitar
Enrico Gobel : bass
Anika Miranti : keyboard
Hertrinur Pamungkas : drums
Buat kalian sendiri, influence paling gede dateng darimana?
Influence tiap personel beda-beda sih. Biasanya tergantung mood dan apa yang lagi sering didengerin saat itu. Tapi mungkin basicnya masih di The Cure karena kita mulai band ini dari meng-cover lagu-lagu mereka. Baru dari situ berlanjut musik-musik lain yang lagi kita dengerin.
Rencana kalian dimasa mendatang?
mempersiapkan album debut kami. Mempersiapkan album kedua..ketiga..keempat. hahaha..mungkin konser tunggal kali yah, sama go international.

If you guys into electronica, and loves to add a little bit distortion and beautiful vocals. you should gives NimB a try. Here a brief interview with them.
how are you guys now ?
Thank you for askingJ We’re in the process of our debut album production. The deadline is soon, so we have a lot to do. Also we are full of ideas. Actually we are always full of ideasJ
if you have to describe your music in one sentences, what would that be ?
In one sentence? That’s funny…Let me think…It’s energetic, but in the same time relaxing mix, snowy and cold, shining and full of air. Am I clear enough?
what is the best record you bought in the last 6 months?
Well, It’s Jay-Jay Johanson, Rush. Actually we’ve listen his latest things and interested so much that decided to buy everything he ever produced. This album of 2005 is sad, but so beautiful. This music matches for sitting at home alone, watching the rain outdoor.
please reccomend our readers a nice underated bands you know to our readers, and how are they sounds?
With greate pleasure!
Let me introduce our Ukrainian friends – IDM monsters “2 sleepy” www.2sleepy.info They play amasing things with a very positive aura.
Also we like “Mamanet” – electronic indie band www.myspace.com/mamanetband. Their music is very creative and sofisticated, I think. Both bands are very prospective, believe me.
how is the music scene in your country?
This is a good question. Perhaps, as in Indonesia (correct me if I’m mistaken) we have two parrallel music worlds – major lable artists for masses and indie bands for other people. I think with Internet era, we watch the proces of borders vanishing, so very soon we’ll talk about the world scene and world music space. Actually this interview confirms this
tell us more about your latest album.
As we already mentioned we only prepare our first album. It doesn’t mean that we’re just started to play music – we play about 5 years already. This means that this album will be comprehencive. Only the best songs of this 5-year period will be included. So, that’s why we’re sure that the first album will be cool. We’re sorry that we made our fans to wait so long.
last words ?
We’ve been shocked with Indonesian bands, we found on your web-site. It so fresh, so new and progressive. Ukraine is so far away of Indonesia – about 12 hours by plane, but music unites all melomans of the world. Thank you so much, listen usJ
much apreciate

R.E.M. just published the video for their upcoming album “Accelerate”. Video ini disutradarai oleh Vincent Moon, direkam dibeberapa tempat sekitar Lower East Side of Manhattan. Album Accelerate akan dirilis pada tanggal 1 April nanti
berikut ini adalah video ‘the making of’ nya

Space Recs

Sebuah kompilasi yang lebih mirip split album antara Space System bersama Voyagers of Icarie dengan penampilan tambahan spesial dari Curah Melodia Mandiri (C.M.M.) dan Svarghi. Mencoba menawarkan musik musik dansa yang cenderung ringan dan sedikit trippy.
Sebagian besar dari isi album ini adalah instrumental namun Voyagers of Icarie memberikan variasi vokal chant yang memberikan tambahan unsur mistik yang eksotis dengan layer-layer suara nya.
Tidak banyak yang dapat saya katakan mengenai album ini, karena saya tidak memiliki perbendaharaan kosa kata dunia elektronik yang lengkap, tapi yang jelas album ini dapat menjadi teman yang baik untuk menemani kamu berpetualang di angkasa bersama teman-teman kamu dengan menggunakan substansi maupun tidak. Atau sekedar make out dengan pasangan mu ditemani bakaran aromatherapy bersama track-track dari Space System, dan menghadapi sedihnya dunia bersama Voyagers of Icarie.
Atau kamu ada saran lain?
