About Bali Dua
Product Description Bali is said to be one of the most spiritual places in the world. It is a mysterious island, where music seems to breathe, like a living creature. In a follow-up to their immensely popular first album, "Bali," Jalan Jalan's "Bali dua" takes us there again. To enhance your enjoyment of the music, removable incense sticks are included in the spine of the CD jewel case. Amazon.com The Japanese project called Jalan Jalan returns with the follow-up to their haunting debut of ambient gamelan music, Bali. Like its predecessor, Bali Dua continues to use samples of Balinese gamelan instruments, along with metallophones and gongs, deploying slow-motion melodies against swirls of synthesizers that move like clouds. This time out, however, Yasufumi Yamashita, the main composer of Jalan Jalan, has added a subtle lushness to the proceedings. The simple acoustic guitar cycle of "Sekar" frames the stately melody of the gamelan. Yamashita uses wood chimes to accent the terrain on some pieces, while Balinese traditional singers pop up on others. Like Pachebel's "Canon" and Brian Eno's "An Ending (Ascent)," Jalan Jalan's compositions seem like they could go on forever, melodies spiraling in minor key refrains that point towards infinity. And like all titles on the Pacific Moon label, it even comes with a couple of sticks of incense to set the mood. But with Jalan Jalan, you won't need it as they take you into their own virtual Bali. --John Diliberto Review "Jalan Jalan's melodically luminescent themes linger like a dream of a Balinese sunset." -- Billboard Magazine, March 17, 2001
