The February 08 issue of Off The Edge magazine is a special occasion for Malaysian music, as for the first time in our history a CD anthology of Malaysian compositions will be freely available to our fellow Malaysians. Find out more about the project, and and learn more about the individual tracks. Included is additional information that we were unable to include into the CD booket and the Off The Edge editorial feature, a sort of "making of" feature about this long and difficult journey that we'd like to share.
