A.Rahman Mohd. & The Fabulous Orchids came from Pontian, a sleepy seaside town in the state of Johor in Malaysia across the strait from the exuberant pop scene of Singapore. They released an EP on Playboy label (Ngee Fat Record Company) of original compositions. Two songs, “Kenapa Menghilang” (Why is it lost) and “Seruan Pertiwi” (Cry of the Homeland) are featured here.
