06. Lost Pilots - Very Very Dark
07. Sajama Cut - Ruzted Skullz, 1927

Short Description:
Lull is an indie rock act, raw, psychedelic and a bit grunge on multi-layered guitar overdrive. We Only Said plays subdued post-rock with great song arranging and tickling drum beat. African Air Conditioner play a fine Indie Rock/alternative with rather dark soundscape. Angsa dan Serigala simply baroque pop just like Arcade Fire plays Beirut. Lost Pilots is really lost on their tune as a freaky horror psychedelic electronic tune. Museum of Modern Art is covering Sufjan Stevens in such their techno-freakiejazz-tune way. Sajama Cut plays unusually instrumental, experimental post rock with long duration in Ruzted Skullz, 1927, usually they are quite dynamic finest indie rock.

MTDS #2: SLICER! is near to finish!

somehow you can listen the digital compilation in below playlist!

Good day fellas.

It's been interesting weeks since i'm on my way to work again in MTDS project. Please refer to MTDS pages here to know more about MTDS. This is the second MTDS to finish, after its first showing 6 great bands including Hi Mom!, The Morning After, Vox, Hairdresser On Fire, Friday and Shorthand Phonetics. The second one, (unofficial title is: "SLICER!") will consist of 7 bands coming from Indonesia, Switzerland and France!

The collecting, documenting and sharing effort are getting more exciting as there are bands from different side of the globe. There will be Lost Pilots (Switzerland) and We Only Said (France). Those two bands i found differently unique and producing great sounds. While the Indonesian band also a really really great band, i personally appreciate they work so much. African Air Conditioner, Lull, Sajama Cut, Angsa & Serigala and Museum of Modern Art are lining up as Indonesian bands.

Now i am getting to finish the uploading process while also working on the MTDS's release sheets. There will be like the #1: SEQUEL! I will publish the compilation digitally using the Internet Archive, so you can download it as one single archive file (.RAR) and i will provide the audio streaming using my Fairtilizer account, so there will be embeded playlist on the web. So i guess, thanks to Internet Archive and Fairtilizer :)

Well, the MTDS project will not stop here. I will still collecting songs or any art-related work that could be shared digitally. So, if you think you could provide art-related work of yours, contact me on my mail at jay@mellonzine.com maybe i could line you up on MTDS #3 or #4 or #5 etc. Let's work on what we can do together. Hey bands out there, got any records? I'll document your songs in MTDS if you allowed me to do so. Let's get in touch :)

Have greeaaattt days fellas.

Regards,
Jay

Mellon The Digital Set #1: SEQUEL!

"As, “we'll see the raise of the dead in the sequel of this story”. That's the very common plot!"

cover art

Mellon The Digital Set adalah sebuah usaha kecil dan sederhana untuk mengumpulkan, saling berbagi, dan mendokumentasikan karya-karya menawan yang berserakan disekitar kita, baik berupa lagu, karya grafis maupun lainnya. Kesemuanya terkumpul dalam format digital dan disebarkan secara bebas keseluruh dunia melalui www.mellonzine.com

Dan seri pertama dari Mellon The Digital Set ini berjudul SEQUEL!. Setelah beberapa bulan yang lalu Mellon Zine sempat mengalami kevakuman tak pasti, dan oleh penulisnya (Jay) dideklarasikan secara sinis sebagai telah mati. Maka sang penulis merasa lucu jika mengasosiasikan "mati"nya Mellon Zine kedalam kontekstual horror. Bahwa sesungguhnya penulisnya ingin membangkitkan kembali Mellon Zine, dan konsep-konsep hidup kembali, kebangkitan yang telah mati, zombie atau hantu seringali ditemui dalam konsep horror. Jadi, tendensi "SEQUEL" sebagai bangkitnya sesuatu yang telah mati secara murahan ada pada hal-hal seperti itu.

Tidak ada korelasi khusus antara judul dan konsep "SEQUEL!" dengan karya-karya yang dirangkum dalam MTDS #1 ini. Karena judul "SEQUEL!" hanyalah ego dari penulis saja untuk bagaimana ia mengemas digital set ini.

Dan dengan mudah dalam MTDS #1 bisa ditemukan lagu dari band-band terhebat berikut: Hi Mom! (Surabaya), The Morning After (Malang), Vox (Surabaya), Hairdresser On Fire (Medan), Friday (Surabaya) dan Shorthand Phonetics (Bandung/Jakarta) dan beberapa karya grafis dari Phleg, Kuro, Puru dan titiss. Jadi, mari berbagi dan nikmati digital set ini. Salam cinta dari kematian!

The first serial of Mellon The Digital Set entitled as SEQUEL!. Following the previous Mellon Zine sarcastic dead act. As it had been vacuum for months, and never know how will it becomes in the future. So the author (Jay) literally declare Mellon Zine as dead. As Mellon Zine told as literally dead, the author suddenly found, it might be funny if he contexted its dead into a horror-esque story board. Somehow the author might be want to raise the zine after its dead. We'll easily find a resurrection, raise of the dead, or zombies, ghosts and whatsoever in anything horror. And "Sequel!" is cheapily about those kind of things. As, “we'll see the raise of the dead in the sequel of this story”. That's the very common plot!

Songs, artworks, pics / photos and any others in this digital set has nothing inline with the insight meaning of "Sequel!". The picked theme is only the author's ego in how he packed the digital set. So, let's enjoy and share this digital set. Love from the death!

Short Description:
Hi Mom! is an alternative rock band from Surabaya, Indonesia. Much influenced by Mew, Radiohead, Bjork, Sigur Ros and many other alternative-rock dark sound like. The Morning After is the finest alternative rock act from Malang, Indonesia. Its sweet tunes yet rawkin is still the hottest from the town. Vox is four-pieces magical band from Surabaya, Indonesia. They tried a new tune for the band as a mexicana folk-rock sound like for their forthcoming album. Hairdresser On Fire is a rawkin girl front-liner band coming from Medan, Indonesia. They sound riotic as a punk, much like Young and Restless, (early) Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Friday si an awesome band coming From Surabaya, Indonesia. Brought a dark ambient sound scape, but hit your ass as powerful rock beat from the drum n bass. Shorthand Phonetics is a fiction solo project by Ababil Ashari, known as a lo-fi rock based genre, but very honest in tunes.
