"Joni kept his promise..."
Almost without precedent, back in 2004 a small and relatively unknown label, Aksara Records decided to put out a soundtrack album for the third release in their catalogue. It was music from the film Janji Joni, a comedy directed by a young Indonesian director Joko Anwar. Both the movie and the soundtrack album became quite a notable event for the film and music scenes in Indonesia. Probably for the first time in Indonesian film history, a mainstream film dared to feature exclusively songs performed by the local indie musicians, and that a newly born indie label had just the right amount of madness to have released its soundtrack. The movie was successful, and the label grew to be one of the most distinguished side-stream labels by continually releasing critically acclaimed albums for the past five years.
A few tracks to recommend: "Konservatif" by the Adams; "(I Got) Johnny in My Head" by Teenage Death Star; "Senandung Maaf" by White Shoes and the Couples Company; "Funk the Hole" by SORE; "Do the Cobra" by the Jonis
