I couldn't find a decent enough clip/rip on the web, so I did my own vinyl rip of this NWOBHM'y Malaysian album - the link is in the Malaysia/Singapore-thread: viewtopic.php?p=182681#p182681
...and the review.
...and the review.
..In short: Purnama never gets SAPPY. They create the same warm, unprocessed sound as the Dinamik LP, and while it may not have quite as many rippers in their repertoir as that classic, there are at least 2 stand-out tracks here: "Destinasi" is a proud, broad-legged, pounding piece of Headbanger's heaven, not astronomically original but with some purely ecstatic riffs inside. On side B "Ragam Manusia" shows how you can create a killer Hard Rock tune that is both upbeat and stupid catchy without mellowing out. Another must-hear for sure...
