Pekak! Indonesian Noise 1995–2015. 20 Years of Experimental Music From Indonesia (Bandcamp)

Two physical versions of this compilation have been pressed on DVD-ROM (no DVDr !), most of the DVDs have been split among the artists in Indonesia. The European edition has a different cover (a silkscreen) and only about 50 copies remain. The DVD-ROM contains the audio files in FLAC (lossless compression) and all information in a PDF (artists, web links, biographies and an introduction written by Indra Menus (To Die), you will need a computer to read it, this is not a CD !).
You will notice that the quality of some tracks is not the best ever, you have to realise that this archive is made of recording coming from various sources (from lives, from video tapes, from old cassettes, from MP3s) and the masters were had sometimes a poor quality. The best has been done to improve what was possible to restore.
For various reasons, it has been decided that the compilation could be downloaded for free but if you can, please, consider to make a small donation. Restoring many of the recordings has taken a lot of time and dedication, Indra's research about Indonesian noise and experimental music has been a great investment too and this during a few years, pressing the DVD and printing the covers has cost money as well and the biggest part of the benefits will be use to support noise festivals in Java, Bali and Kalimantan, such as Jogja Noise Bombing, Chaos Non Musica, Samarinda Noise Fest.
A smaller version of this compilation was released on End Of Alphabet Records in 2015.
