Kami nAPO muna ultraelectromagneticjam

Usong uso ngayon ang pagbibigay pugay sa mga legendary artist. Ito yung pag re-revive ng mga songs from the chosen artist to “pay tribute” to the music that they created. Mostly ang binibigyang tribute ay legendary artist at hindi na nakakagawa ng music lately because of new fields they have, disbanded, rest etc.
Nauna na ditto ang Ultraelectromagneticjam The music of Eraserheads. Nang una ay nagdadalawang isip akong bumili nito dahil na record ko na naman sa tape yung album launch nito. Thanks to Jam. Pero napagtanto ko (Naks ang lalim nun) na collectors edition na din ito. At mas maganda kung merom ka talagang legitimate copy. Ito yung review ko kahit na medyo luma na tong album na ito.


1) Alapaap by 6cyclemind- Maganda at magaling. I know its hard to cover an e-heads original. It’s not the best but they did a great job if we compare to other artist na nag contribute ditto sa album. Magandang opening for an album.
2) Magasin by Paolo Santos- it just prove that mas maganda kung mag acoustic na lang siya kaysa pang rock.
3) Spolarium by Imago- Magnificent! Parang sa kanila talaga yung song. Aia de leon makesi it look fresh. I can say na mas maganda ito sa original.
4) Overdrive by Barbie Almalbis- Cute version ang ginawa niya ditto. Pero cute version is not needed in reviving an e-heads hit. Di masyadong maganda pero pwede na rin.
5) With A Smile by South Border- RnB version. Not that bad but not that good version either.
6) Tikaman by Sugarfree- Same with Imago inangkin nila yung song kahit na sabi nila magkaboses sina Ely at Ebe. Even if di ko nakikita I can feel na nag-eenjoy nila yung kanta.
7) Ligaya by Kitchie Nadal- Hindi appropriate yung song sa isang girl. At first its cute to hear her giggle in the “Ilang ahit pa ba ang aahitin” but if palagi na lang you will get sick of it.
8) Torpedo by Isha- Kakaiba yung version niya. Jazz version astig
9) Superproxy 2K6 by Francis M and Ely Buendia- Nakakaenergize yung song na ito than the original. Ely tries to rap. Masarap pakinggan lalo na when you’re sleepy but needed to be still awake.
10) Huwag Kang Matakot by Orange and Lemons- Ito yung song na minsan gusto ko minsan hindi. Hindi ako consistent for this song. Mas maganda siguro kung they stick with Mcoy to sing this song.
11) Pare Ko by Sponge Cola- Parang fresher version. I don’t like the “tang ina” part kasi parang hesitant si Yael na sabihin yung part na iyon.
12) Huwag Mo Nang Itanong Sa Akin by M.Y.M.P- Pop/Acoustic version. Ayos. One of my Favorites.
13) Hard To Believe by Cueshé- Lame version they should choose a better band to perform. They eat some words.
14) Alkohol by Radio Active Sago Project- ok lang
15) Maling Akala by Brownman Revival- Reggae version. Akala ko nga nung una original song nila ito.
16) Ang Huling Elbimbo by Rico J. Puno- When you hear this song you will ask for the original version.
17) Para Sa Masa by Various Artist- Astig

Overall: Magandang album ito para sa mga kabataan na di masyado kilala ang heads. Since mga popular bands at artist ang mga nag cover mas ma-appreciate nila siguro itong album na ito. But for those who loves e-heads siyempre they will stick to the original versions. 8 and A half stars.

Next legendary artist are Apo Hiking Society. I know them as entertainers and host in the noontime show Isang Linggo nAPO sila. I don’t know much about their singing legacies. When I heard the artist/bands sing their cover I know some songs but I don’t know that it’s from them.

1) Pumapatak ang Ulan by Parokya ni Edgar- Parang kinakanta lang nila kasi kailangan kantahin. Pero infairness nakakarelax.
2) Yakap Sa Dilim by Orange And Lemons- very soothing. I like their style that they make here. One of my favorites from the album. Ang sarap pakinggan pag gabi at pampatulog.
3) Doobidoo by Kamikazee- I don’t know the original but I can say it’s very Kamikazee. Punk/Rock/metal sound with an APO song=excellent rendition. Jay’s voice is not that good but as the song says Di naman kailangan boses mo’y maganda basta may konting tono madaling makanta”.
4) Bawat Bata by The Dawn- Magaling din. They put their own sound.
5) Awit Ng Barkada by Itchyworms- I think all of them sang in the track. If you talk about the voice quality it’s not that good but the whole song and sound is fine.
6) Batang Bata Ka Pa by Sugarfree- They are always good in covering song. I wonder why.
7) Nakapagtataka by Sponge Cola- I heard a M.Y.M.P. and Rachel Alejandro version of this song, so I know its kinda heavy ballad song with some “birit” on the side. Quite surprise that the band sing that song. Ok lang naman yung version but not that outstanding but they prove they can sing any kind of song.
8) Bakit Ang Babae by Sandwich- Parang original song nila.
9) Ewan by Imago- Ang sarap pakinggan ang saya ng sounds. Kahit di bagay yung song for a girl with the line “Bakit nga ba ganyan dalaga’y di alam” pero di naman niya napahalata. One of my favorites din.
10) Pag-ibig by Kitchie Nadal- parang nakakaantok yung boses niya ditto. Ok lang.
11) When I met you by Barbie Almalbis- My favorite song from the album. The kanta niya ng maayos.
12) Panalangin by Moonstar 88- I heard lots of version of this song pero infairness hindi sila nag patalo. I think it’s the best.
13) Blue Jeans by Rocksteddy- wala… Kasi I don’t like the band so I always skip this song the same with…
14) Paano by Shamprock- wala…
15) Anna by Top Suzara- ayos… Nag evolve na siya. Alam ko puro ballad kinakanta niya dati ngayon nagpaka rock na siya. Di mo aakalaing si Top yung kumakanta.
16) Di na natuto by Sound- when I’m listening to this sonng parang si Gary V. yung nakikita ko o na i-imagine. I mean masyado na kasing naka associate yung song sa kanya na di mo maalis sa ulo mo na yung version niya at din a kailangan dagdagan pa.
17) Kabilugan Ng Buwan by Drip- my favorite song. Ang ganda ng sound and boses. ASTIG!!
18) Kumot at Unan mo by Boldstar- Ok din. Ayos!!

Overall: Ayos itong album for the youth of today that has a little knowledge about the APO legacy. Mas ok or tamang tama lang yung pagbibigay tribute sa kanila kasi halos 30 years (ata) silang nag cre-create ng music at medyo huminto muna for how many years, while the members of Eheads are still here and creating music with their different bands.
7 rock stars.
