Dung’s Sheep Farming in Malaysia 7″, Free Download!
Was trawling the bitching woldwideweb just now and stumbled upon this download. Somebody, (I think) based in Germany, put this up on rapidshare. At the time of writing this down I haven’t listened to it yet but the quality of the sound on the actual record was not that great as the tracks were not mastered for vinyl pressing, and the length of the songs were just too long and that compressed the vinyl’s grooves a bit too much.
This 7″ was released by our good friend Ben Hideous back in early 2000. Three songs were taken from The Allure of Manure cassette (1999) and one song from Dari Jemapoh Ke Manchestee soundtracks (1996).
The band at the time featured me on guitar, Fendi on bass, Ollie on drums and Lee on vocals. The one track from Jemapoh had Jijoe on the other guitar while Lee was not singing since he was holidaying in Germany when we recorded it.
Anyway, if you’re interested, go to this link and download it: Sheep Farming in Malaysia on Rapidshare
BTW; The Allure of Manure will soon be rereleased on CD with five extra tracks. It has just been remastered by a friend of ours in Sweden. Now I’m redesigning the sleeves and hopefully we’ll press it next week.

This remind me of 1993 memory. I was in Form 3 when one day a friend of mine, Mang (Kuchalana) brought CDung’s first album to hostel after the usual weekend outing at Kuala Terengganu. We enjoyed the song by sharing the walkman earphone one each to our ear…I still remember clearly the picture in cassette lay out cover where a guy says ‘Calm’.
The introduction of punk has begun, since then the rest is history!

Lori, thank you. But we do have one almost “medolic” song coming out on a comp CD put together by Knot Records & Ricecooker Shop very soon.
It’s called “A Fine Line of Numb”, basically a good advice to all of you young ones to ditch punk rock as soon as possible and embrace “jadedness” in all it’s inviting bosoms. The last verse urges you all to “just say goodbye, and die!”
As for the new album, we are mixing it next Sunday and no, it’s not “medolic”, it’s largely a mix of short’n'fast tunes (faster than the ones on Allure!) with some slower “mat-rock-disampuk-Iwan-Fals” punya punk rock. Very goyang-able, but also very “marah-marah”.
As for why we are not writing new “medolic” songs, I have no clear answer, other than the fact that our collective faith in people in general is diminishing. The world is truly fucked, and that “no future” slogan from way back 1976 is gloriously spot on.
As abang Nick (Cave) said it:
People just ain’t no good
I think that’s well understood
You can see it everywhere you look
People just ain’t no good
During the early days, we thought that if the songs are accessible enough for people outside of the scene to get into, singalong to and memorise the lyrics, they would understand and hopefully inspired enough to treat the world and their neighbours with a bit more respect.
Yup, a bit of “hippy shit” there, but we sincerely believed in that shit. Now, we’re much older and we know better. On hindsight, all that naive sloganeering and happy-happy singalong is looking pretty dumb.
Don’t get me wrong though. We still like playing those songs, and we love having people singing-along and jump around to them. But they are not necessarily a good snapshot of how we feel about everything these days.
So in a way, we are getting angrier as we get older. I think that is just natural.

Believe me dude, one day u gonna stuck writing and releasing bunch of mellow sweet sweet goyang-goyang catchcy tunes….for me, never been a dumb from my early days grewing-singing-along with yr song till now….naah never!then come all the way grind music which i have too listen coz most of the guys in klang that time menjerit-jerit dengan irama tersebut ( well, a felt asleep mostly in all their jamming session)…then all the way came this guy(zam TDD) introduce me to as sahar and some of the ol’ rock kangkang and the only thing i kept listening to(besides RATM-*duh*) is from C.dung

hello people, been a bit busy these past few weeks.
Yeah, I would like to confirm the BAD news. Late last year EMI bought all of VSP’s releases, and that means everything from my band’s first album to Silkhannaz, SlumScums, etc. etc,
So it happened again. One guy from EMI called me up about three months ago and asked me if we wanna work with them, but of course that’s a stupid question. I gave him a big NO NO, and yet, here we are. They put it out without our permission.
The thing is the recording was owned by VSP but the songs are still mine, so do expect some legal action soon.
At the moment of writing this, I haven’t seen the new CD. I do wonder if they have remastered the thing.
