about
The music of 8 is based on Jazz as the spirit and mindset which then translated into explorative music. 8 emphasized their music in improvisation and live performance. The band formation also strongly influenced by Jazz quartet.
The group was formed by Wildstix in mid 2003 who initiated to form a new music group that able to create pure pieces without following other known music genres. Although experienced personnel changes several times, 8 managed to release the first album, “Windig Notes”, under the brand of “Academie of FarSide” (AOFS) in December 2004.

During 2007, the band continued to appear at various events such as Rhythm Salad on 7-9 September 2007, as long term project to improve music industry in Indonesia by Sacred Bridge Foundation.

MOONJUNE SAMPLER
by MoonJune Recordssupported by 7 fans who also own “8 - The Question is Out There”
Fantastic opportunity to get an impression what MoonJune Records is about (fusion, prog rock, avantgarde from all around the world, with a special spotlight on Indonesia ...). Many great artists to be discovered (mostly) and rediscovered (sometimes)! Also, watch out for their special offers due to their 15th birthday (this is why, in short time, many other MoonJune albums will appear here ;-} ).

Gathering Speed (2009 remaster)
by Big Big Trainsupported by 5 fans who also own “8 - The Question is Out There”
For me this is an overlooked gem in the catalogue bridging the gap from the early years to their more recent catalogue. If you want your BBT easy on the ear with less progressive elements but just as fantastic vocals and guitar look no further. Merits repeat plays and ideal for listening to on long walks with or without a dog.
