Seduced by the sun while relaxing amid the mist formed from exhaust fumes and flying dust is a common sight that is easily found in an industrial city called Tangerang.

And to do a musical search in this industrial city, we suggest now is the right time. Later, the music atmosphere in Tangerang is not okay. The spread of poster gigs in social media and the schedule of gigs inserted mid-week schedule became a regular routine in Tangerang.

And from the many posters that bersliweran, there is a name that is often listed in each poster filling lineup gigs in Tangerang, a name that is quite unique, namely The Cat Police. As a representation of Industrial city music, The Cat Police brought back the fun in Tangerang with rock music through their debut album 'Tropical Industries'.

The initial round of this CD presents the track titled 'Color Semiotics Irony'. The passage of the guitar greeted with a very tight keyboard and fast intensity drum beat put the aggressive rock number at the beginning of the album as a ferocious opening.

After 3:59 pm, try to position your ears to a more relaxed atmosphere, because 'What They Do In The Summer' is the right number to stretch your legs. The sound of guitar sounding casual and many guitar solo snoy-snoy decorate the whole song, although there sounds snare drums that sounded crowded when the middle of the song. But still, this track becomes the key of 'Tropical Industries'.

The third track, 'Fine Line' is a fairly soft number in this album. Then on 'Betty In Glasses' they inject the blues elements with excessive content, and add the sound of harmonica so as to reinforce Zaki's vocal good.

And on 'Ninja Turtle On The Slippery Sandals' they try to tell you about the life phase that is reflected through this 5 minute longer instrumental song. In the next song, we tried to repeat the song with the title 'Fresh Born Child'. Sounds like a multi-genre experimental song, maybe this song is practically a rock song, but you'll find a bit of metal and noise, and also dangdut.

Mixing the psychedelic-style ambiens and blues taste with the simplicity of the drumming boom trying to balance, this beautifully presented composition is implied on the 'Rodeo'.

On 'Johnny and Tony' they return to the roots by playing in a blues circle. Then 'Take Her' which they bring with a minimalist format, only guitar and keyboard mix and the vocal sound of a shady reveals the romantic side of The Cat Police.

Not The Cat Police if not having fun, as evidenced by 'Malihay' as the most danceable surf rock number and wet sound guitar that makes the muddy dance floor, and if it's heard solemnly, in the 2nd minute you'll be taken 'up' and dreamy.

'Mental Games' became the longest-running track with almost 7 minutes (6:59 minutes) as a farewell greeting to this album, and an alternate version of 'Fine Line' became a wave of disc spinning marks on the titled 'Tropical Industries' has stopped.

'Tropical Industries' is not just a piece of songs from a band called The Cat Police, but also a canvas for some visual artists who decorate the physical 'Tropical Industries' itself.

We honestly state 'Tropical Industries' is the best achievement of Tangerang, so far. We hope that this is not the climax of the Tangerang music scene, because The Cat Police is just the front queue of several bands behind him who are ready to queue out.
