Philippines’ premier rock band The Dawn officially launches today “Tulad Ng Dati,” a commemorative album containing the band’s hit songs in the last 20 years plus three new songs “Ang Iyong Paalam,” “Difference,” and “Kasama sa Tagumpay.”
The two-disc CD pack, manufactured and distributed by Warner Music Philippines, celebrates the band’s 20th anniversary with mostly re-recorded and re-arranged tracks; Bituin Escalante’s dramatic R&B intro vocals to “Enveloped Ideas;” past music videos; new movie trailer; and a rare footage of the late Teddy Diaz’s guitar solo.
Their latest album, Tulad ng Dati, released after years of absence, is thus a nostalgic musical trip for those who’ve been there, and should be a discovery for those who don’t know what they missed: a man-sounding (non-boy) band that didn’t reek of sex and drugs, with a distinctive, non-copycat sound.
