From Billboard - October 7, 1972: "Day By Day," the love theme from "The Godfather," "I Don't Know How To Love Him," and "Without You" – this LP is literally packed with goodies, all beautifully orchestrated instrumentals designed to please just about 99.9 percent of the populace. A very strong LP.

Music For The Balinese Shadow Play
Gender Wayang from Teges Kanyinan, Pliatan Bali
Played by Made Grindam, Norman Grinding, Wayan Nyampug and Made Eochang
Recorded in Bali by Robert E. Brown

1970

From the back cover: This recording of music for the all-night wayang, or shadow play, was made in an open pavilion within the walls of the village temple in Teges Kanyinan, a district of Pliatan village, whose famous gamelan gong kebyar is internationally known though tours and several recordings.

The sample is one of the more "subtle" or slower paced compositions. A composition played for scenes of sadness, "when the puppets are weeping." It is also appropriate when the gender wayang is used for cremations.

The audio quality is very good and the sample/title track found on side 2 was a nice surprise.
