Description:

Excellent two CD collection containing 29 tracks plus 36 page booklet full of concert photo's, album covers, and detailed liner notes. The self-proclaimed founder of the private press scene, Benny Soebardja is one of the most important figures from the Indonesian music industry. Having been a member of bands such as the Peels, Shark Move and the infamous Giant Step, Benny left his mark across many memorable albums throughout the years, including his contributions to the recent Those Shocking, Shaking Days compilation. During the mid 70's, Benny also recorded solo efforts, which many regard as some of the best music to ever surface from the region. With the help of British poet Bob Dook, Benny recorded numerous English based songs filled with incredible musicianship and melodies that have an underlying progressive nature. Backed by the almost unknown Lizard (which contained members of both Giant Step and Harry Roesli's Philosophy Gang), his solo efforts are in line with the sound of his other bands, yet stand on their own as a unique progressive offering.

"The Lizard Years" is a captivating CD release by Indonesian rock legend Benny Soebardja, brought to you by the renowned label Strawberry Rain / Cargo.
