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:
- Hujan – Tunggu Sekejab
- Seven Collar T-Shirt – Jangan Tinggal Daku
- Altimet (feat Imran Ajmain) – Maafkan Kami
- Awanband (feat Che Mat) – Malam Bulan Di Pagar Bintang
- Monoloque – Tiada Kata Secantik Bahasa
- One Buck Short – Pok Pok Bujang Lapok
- Pesawat – Ai Ai Twist
- Pop Shuvit – Aci Aci Buka Pintu
- They Will Kill Us All – Sepanjang Riwayatku
- Yuna – Gelora Jiwa
- Grey Sky Morning – Malam Pesta Muda Mudi
- Couple – Menche Che Bujang Lapok
- Subculture – Bunyi Gitar
- Bittersweet – Getaran Jiwa
- AG & Co (feat Azlan Typewriter) – Jeritan Batinku
- Kugiran D’Tepi Pantai – Nujum Pak Belalang
- 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.
