Gombloh's forgotten masterpiece, Sekar Mayhang, his last record with his band Lemon Trees. No one knew that Gombloh was operating with all his cylinders running and what came out of this Indra Record session, in the waning days of 1980, were some of the best compositions ever committed to magnetic tapes. This is Gombloh at the peak of his creative genius. This record was a flop upon its release in 1981, and Indra Records reportedly only did one pressing on cassette tape. In Sekar Mayang, Gombloh harbors an obsession for a long-lost utopia, Java's distant past, where farmers have their barn full of rice and corn, where blacksmith working around the clock making tools and children singing and dancing in their seminaries. The question for him is should a modern-day Indonesia, rife with poverty, corruption and environmental degradation not be an anathema to that utopia? In the end, you don't need to be someone fluent in Javanese to enjoy this majestic record.
