Think we don’t have much of a local music scene? Sounds like we have enough to be nostalgic about! mod-ified music posted notice about a new music album called “Recollecting Singapore 60s” a compilation of Singapore bands from the swingin’ 60s and 70s. Can anyone say “Yeah baby, Yeah!”

Although the title reads “Recollecting Singapore 60′s”, this cd in actual fact is a compilation of Singapore bands from the 1960′s and 70′s. Hence, you get a diverse range of sounds – from pop (Rita Chao) to garage (Straydogs) to country (Matthew and The Mandarins) to 70′s soft rock/ballads. Personally I would have prefered the cd to just focus on the 1960′s, since I’m sure there’s a wealth of recordings to mine from in that decade alone. But I admit, the decision to include local 70′s radio staples like Matthew and The Mandarins and Tania was probably necessary in order to acheive the “mass appeal” formula.
