Album information

Anggun couldn't reach her big popularity actually when release her rock debut, Dunia Aku Punya in 1986. It needed a longer time to make her being a superstar. This was the album that brought Anggun's name into her big fame as a lady rocker in Indonesia. However, it is not her solo album, but a compilation album of Indonesian rockers such as Gito Rollies, Deddy Stanzah, and Euis Darliah. Anggun only sang 2 songs: "Mimpi" and "Bayang Bayang Ilusi". Both singles were written by Teddy Sudjaja and Pamungkas NM. The first single, "Mimpi" became a big hit in Indonesia at the time and then followed by the second single, "Bayang Bayang Ilusi". Due to the success of the album Anggun was also known as "single/compilation singer", that often released an album with a mere one/two singles on it.

Re-released

Sixteen years after the release of "Mimpi" and "Bayang Bayang Ilusi", Anggun re-released the songs along with "Takut" on her Best Of album in 2006 under label Sony BMG in Indonesia and Malaysia. The songs were re-recorded in the new version with arrangement by Andy Ayunir and orchestra group Saunine.
