A SEQUEL to one of the most successful Fil- Am compilation albums ever is shipping soon.

In 2006, the cream of the crop of the East Coast music scene was featured in what was dubbed as the definitive Fil Am compilation album to date.

Artists like Bleud, The Kuwagos, The Speaks, Titofelix, Alfa Garcia, The Happy Analogues, Jay Legaspi, The Moonbugs, The 3rd Element, Bagwis, Sodapop Suicide, Blue Mellon Pop and others that are now household names in the scene,  were among the participants of the first box.

It was launched in August of last year and was hailed as a breakthrough gig in recent Fil Am music history.

 Now the sequel is not just for  the East Coast artists. It is open to all.
As a matter of fact, you can be from as far as Manila.
