Puspa Indah
After the failure of Percik Pesona, Chrisye decided to distance himself from the pure pop sound that had made the earlier albums Badai Pasti Berlalu (The Storm Will Surely Pass; 1977) and Sabda Alam (Nature's Order; 1978) successful. After a period of introspection and contemplation, he decided to stick with pop, but give it a romantic theme with easy listening influences.
Musically, Yockie played the keyboard and harmonica, while Chrisye played the bass and guitar, both electric and acoustic. Roesma of Musica Studios served as recording engineer during the recording sessions in Jakarta.
Prior to the album's release, two of its singles, "Galih dan Ratna" and "Gita Cinta" ("Love Song") were selected for inclusion in the 1979 film Gita Cinta dari SMA (Love Song in High School). For marketing, Chrisye took a cameo role in the film as the singer of "Galih dan Ratna". Puspa Indah was released by Musica Studios in mid-1980, with high sales.
The success of Puspa Indah convinced Chrisye that some albums needed to be synergized with other media in order to succeed. Puspa Indah has been reissued twice, once as a CD in 2004 and once as part of the Chrisye Masterpiece Trilogy Limited Edition in 2007. In December 2007, Rolling Stone Indonesia selected Puspa Indah as the 57th best Indonesian album of all time.
