Tribute to P Ramlee compilation

Posted on 9 October 2010 by editor, 22 . Tags: , , , , ,

It’s surprising that it’s taken this long, but finally Malaysian legend P Ramlee gets a proper, full-on tribute album. An initiative by XFM and Astro (and in keeping with the times), it’s quite unfortunate that the ‘compilation’ will get a digital-only release, which means that there’ll be no fancy cover art and booklet of essays and liner notes for us to pore over. Titled “P Ramlee… Dimanakan Ku Cari Ganti: Satu Indiepretasi”, even a cursory glance at the tracklisting should whet anyone’s appetite. Check it out below:

  1. Hujan – Tunggu Sekejab
  2. Seven Collar T-Shirt – Jangan Tinggal Daku
  3. Altimet (feat Imran Ajmain) – Maafkan Kami
  4. Awanband (feat Che Mat) – Malam Bulan Di Pagar Bintang
  5. Monoloque – Tiada Kata Secantik Bahasa
  6. One Buck Short – Pok Pok Bujang Lapok
  7. Pesawat – Ai Ai Twist
  8. Pop Shuvit – Aci Aci Buka Pintu
  9. They Will Kill Us All – Sepanjang Riwayatku
  10. Yuna – Gelora Jiwa
  11. Grey Sky Morning – Malam Pesta Muda Mudi
  12. Couple – Menche Che Bujang Lapok
  13. Subculture – Bunyi Gitar
  14. Bittersweet – Getaran Jiwa
  15. AG & Co (feat Azlan Typewriter) – Jeritan Batinku
  16. Kugiran D’Tepi Pantai – Nujum Pak Belalang
  17. Meet Uncle Hussein (feat Hazama) – Ya Habibi Ali Baba

The 18th act on the compilation is a sort of ‘supergroup’ called The Ramlees which features Liyana Fizi, Najwa, Mira (from Tilu) and Yuna! You can listen to the songs starting 25th October on XFM, Era FM, Sinar FM and THR Gegar.

    Houses and cars are not cheap and not every person is able to buy it. But, home loans was created to aid people in such hard situations.

    Downloaded all the tracks somewhere on the Internet (well, don’t ask where). Listened over and over again.Here’s my thoughts…

    Kudos for the idea! And intent to introduce a legend like no other to our younger generations. But nothing legendary about the compilation.

    In honor of the greatest performer ever – who else can sing,play multiple instruments, compose, act, joke, direct etc at the same time – I strongly feel that most of the acts should and must do better. It seems that majority of the acts just settled with playing P Ramlee’s songs in power chords to ‘rockify’ the songs.

    No, I’m not questioning technicality and musicianship, just effort and imagination (or lack of them thereof).

    Being I am a fan of cover songs make more critical. I have listened to all sorts of them – good ones, bad ones, and based on these experience, I feel many of the songs here are negligible. If you’ve heard albums in “Punk Goes… series”, and comparing that to “We’re A Happy Family: A Tribute to Ramones” or “Encomium A Tribute to Led Zeppelin”, you’d know I mean.

    Watched the livecast of the concert on Astro Ria (and rewatched it again on another HD channel), and I am not surprised to see only Yuna and Meet Uncle Hussain given the honor to perform. (I can’t say much about Altimet; I am strictly into guitar music).

    Having said all these, I’ll buy it anyway if they release a proper CD.

    Listened to some of the tracks. Meet Uncle Hussain & Hazama’s version of Ya Habibi Ali Baba is a must listen. But not the same can be said about Bittersweet and the Ramless. I think they could have done better than as fillers.

    Serious, album wajib dimiliki setiap rakyat Malaysia! Walaupun berbeza penyampaian tapi setiap artis yang menjayakan album ni betul-betul gung-ho! Jiwa di dalam setiap lagu tersebut tidak hilang!

    in all fairness, i think the invitation should have extended to our SG cousins. Only for the fact that P Ramlee’s career really took off in SG (which was then Malaya).
