Unveiling Peterpan's First Album 'Taman Langit' that Brings Nostalgia, the Members are Still Young!

For those of you who don't know, cassette tapes were very popular in Indonesia from the 60s to the 2000s. Every person who wanted to listen to a new album from a singer or band would buy a cassette tape that was played with a tape. As time went on and digital technology developed, cassette tapes were replaced by CDs and streaming music services. Nowadays, it is very rare for a band or singer to release an album in cassette tape or CD format.

There are many bands and singers who have released albums in cassette tape format, one of them being NOAH. In 2003, NOAH, previously known as Peterpan, released their debut album titled 'Taman Langit' under the Musica Studio label. It was definitely not digital, at that time Noah released it in two versions. The first one in CD format and the second one in cassette tape format.
