...Proms in London with a nationally televised concert. A few days later, he played on Good Morning America, and as a result, his Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn album made No. 1 on Amazon.com's "Movers and Shakers" list for the biggest leap in sales. Hearing Lang Lang on disc is gratifying, but you have to see him - even in the most fiendishly difficult passages he hardly even looks at the keyboard, his eyes searching out orchestra members to visibly join in the joy or pain of making music, or looking roof-wards as he rides the passion.

Punk rockabilly act Superman Is Dead, Bali's best-known group, has just signed with Sony. Stoner-rock quartet Seringai is also gearing up for its own debut on disc. All these acts are representative of an underground scene that is creating a new market while stomping on the tradition of bland love songs, which dominates the country's radio playlists and karaoke machines. "Bands have more references now from outside," explains Arian Arifin, lead singer of Seringai, which means "grim...
