Blastbeat Junkie "...Spiritually insane lounge Jazz Fusion Rock Tropicana to amuse and disturb, possessive arrangements of languid phosphorescent Jazz & Soft Rock to stir vegetative states of inner exploration, deep voiced jungle cult leaders exalt a world of sweaty jazz hunter hazed psychedelia and lush Jurassic sound effluvia..."

We have been allied with the Sarawags for a long time. They were skilled sailors who lived in boats and sailed from island to island. In Balong Bay, our ancestors traded mouse deer, rattan fruit, areca nuts and resin with salt made by the Sarawag women. When we arrived in 2020 in search of Palaeolithic paintings depicting naked humans devouring raw cave bats from Lemuria, we had no idea that our visit would lead to a new album. On the island we met a good-natured fat man who had two hundred wives, drove a chariot drawn by two white buffaloes and owned fifty dwarves. When he spoke, his mouth and lips moved in a dramatic way that gave his face the appearance of a hundred screaming goldfish. It became clear that he had a rather dull brain and a thuggish nature. But he was all that was left of the Sarawags, for their island now lay desolate.

Dogs howling in the dead of night were nowhere to be seen. Sometimes they sounded like crying babies begging for mercy as they were licked by the flames of hell. These sounds rejuvenated our spirits. Tuk Yaban Tula, the good-natured fat man, possessed immense hypnotic powers and was truly a powerful shaman. As we looked into his eyes in that place filled with the echoes of animal sacrifice, the feelings of apostasy, betrayal and rebellion against Allah, and the smoke of incense to summon the devil, we realized that we were brothers of thunder and fire. A pledge was made by lightning and mountain-moving tornadoes, written in the seven layers of the sky and witnessed by the mysterious dragons that ruled the South China Sea.

Drunk on moonlight, we forgot all about ancient Lemuria and recorded our new album. Conch shells wailed, conga drums thumped and bamboo sticks rattled for thirty days and nights. Superstitious sailors around the island still tell of three men rattling wooden blocks, scratching a curled gourd, banging Chinese gongs and weaving rhythms that were haunting, sinuous and hypnotic. And to anyone willing to listen, they whisper that occasionally, when the spirit moved them, these three men barked like seals and howled like cranes, transforming into the great creatures that prowl through the underbrush. If this is true, we can not say. For all we remember are nothing but beautiful princesses on the beach smearing themselves with suntan lotion, and giggling in the waves. But as we came back to our senses, our new album was finished.
