Production

Background

Slank had made a breakthrough in Indonesian music in the 90's. Before Slank, Indonesian music was dominated by the so-called 'pop cengeng' and the creative pop genre. The various musical influences of Slank members made an impact on their music. This difference was found out by a graphic designer, Boedi Soesatio, who was also a family friend of Indra Q. Boedi Soesatio was the man who was the band's producer for their first three albums.

ADAT

After the three album production contract with Boedi Soesatio had been discontinued, Slank decided to produce the next album themselves. Slank tried to make another breakthrough by recording the album outside a recording studio. They used three units of ADAT, and Super VHS format recording units owned by Indra Q, the keyboardist.

Recording

The album was recorded in three places. Six songs were recorded at Pondok Nurul, a villa in Cipayung, West Java. Two songs were recorded at Bunda Emma's place in Cibubur, West Java. The rest were recorded at their home base in Jalan Potlot. The recording process was drawn as a sketch inside the album sleeve.[1]

Chicken pox

During the recording at Pondok Nurul, Pay, the guitar player, and Indra Q, the keyboard player, caught chickenpox. They had to take a break from the recording process during the illness.
