ERK really explores sound arrangements and tonal compositions in each of their works. This experimental work is a genuine genius sound of art from Cholil and friends. The lyrics, chords, rhymes, and also visual art of the album truly spoke the truth of life philosophy. Diverse and unexpected as the human life itself, perfectly reflected in this LP.

"Rimpang" or a rhizome in Indonesian word used to classify root crops that spread strongly in the ground. the rhizome analogy represents all of the band's troubles and anxieties. As well as being a form of criticism of the human true self and self-criticism for themselves.

Listening to the first song "Fun Kaya Fun" which would be catchy and "naughty" as the band tries to arrange the music and lyrics with their signature simplicity. Featuring Suraa with the soft-backing vocal and surrounds the vibe with a saintly ambiance. This track really persuades the audience to touch their deepest soul to understand the meaning of "self" along with the world's dynamic cycles.
