Bukit Secocol is where the elves (Orang Halus) congregate. They serve as muses by inspiring melodies through dreams. This song pays tribute to the elven source of all Orang Asli music. The a capella invocation segues into a live recording of Hutan Manao (performed at the Shah Alam Stadium on 16 September 1994 to 42,000 and telecast live nationwide)... followed by the tranquil Sungai Makao, one of the most sacred rivers in the Temuan homeland.

Guano Breath Malaysia
My output mostly dates back to the 1980s and has been heard by a mere handful. This isn't what I'm into now but at least I'm
