I just bought this motherfucker on eBay!

Thanks to the mighty awesomeness of blunderbuss, who gave me the heads up for this after outbidding me on the same record a few months back. :)

Oh the degree to which I hate you right now... It's venomous. I hate being born at a time when all the great music is impossible to find.

As a gamelan enthusiast, I'm desperately looking for this :
RRI Gamelan - Klenengan Session of Solonese Gamelan I

Quote:

The full power and intricacy of the Javanese gamelan are displayed in this very fine recording of the first half of a concert (klenengan) of the National Broadcasting Corporation orchestra, composed of the best musicians of the two courts in the city of Solo (Surakarta). Supported by the sonorous and solid gongs and kenongs (kettle drums) the main melody unfolds on the sarons (bronze metallophones), ornamented by half a dozen polyphonous side lines on the rebab (violin), gender (another metallophone), bonang (small kettle gongs), gambang (xylophone), suling (flute) and in song (sindhen), led by the kendhang (drums). The whole has been compared with the sound of moonlight on running water; at the same time a meditative, harmonious whole and a rich tapestry of ever-changing patterns. Different from Western music in almost all respects, but a rich reward for those willing to listen. This recording is the best in the genre currently available.
