We share ideals, philosophy and principles in finding solutions to our equations. Equilibrium of the sciences and arts. Creative processes not bound by convention.

Our collaboration has gone through at least 4 or 5 incarnations over the last 22 years. Same approach, different concept each time.</span></span></span></td></tr></table></td></tr> <tr><td class="mainContent_padding1"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"><tr><td><span style="color: #999999;"><br /><span style="color: #808080;"><span style="font-size: medium;">4.

Faith and Relationships (So as to be optimistic). It's actually mostly about sex and politics but don't tell anyone this. We always love versatility and modern styling, where they're deep-rooted in traditions yet sophisticated. A narrative rich in moral values and judgments not unlike what we as humans make, keep and adhere by everyday.</span></span></span></td></tr></table></td></tr> <tr><td class="mainContent_padding1"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"><tr><td><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #808080;">5.

We get very serious when we prepare our presentations. Therefore we stretch and compress our resources limitlessly. Most often we come up with the most brilliant templates, master plans and blueprints for the strong and faint-hearted alike.</span></span></span></p> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mPUrfYU6Uq8/SREC1dgDdrI/AAAAAAAABR0/GmkSsgEGNxs/s320/n1222314303_1733983_2276.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="213" /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">'aLi</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 130%;"><br />Mukhlis Nor - Vocals <br />Roslan Aziz - Drums Basses and SounDesign<br /><br /><span style="font-size: 100%;">Formed in the year 2000</span><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 100%;">Record Label - Universal Music Malaysia </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: small;">&amp;</span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-size: 100%;">R.A.P.</span><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Discography</span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 130%;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-size: medium;">1 - Nonterro Singles - 2003<br />2 - UNA - 2004<br />3 - the radio - 2007<br />4 - the downLoads - 2008<br />5 - the aLbum - released 08-08-08<br />6 - the BOX -2009</span><span style="font-size: 180%;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">All Songs and Lyrics by Mukhlis Nor except nonterro and ahl bayt by roslan aziz and mukhlis nor</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Published by adhicipta (M) Sdn Bhd &amp; Universal Music Publishing</span><br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Adhicipta (M) Sdn Bhd.
