Description:Greg Seeto of Pacific Gold Studios (PGS) describes the PNG music developments and productions through studio recordings and releases of albums by PNG artists, musicians, sound engineer. PGS was a popular country-wide music recording studio based in Rabaul with 24-track equipment. Through studio projects like "Brukim Bus" and "Rock and Roll"albums were released in volumes and had been successful through cassette sales in PNG. The Brukim Bus (in Tok Pisin) project means short cut in producing PNG music and Rock and Roll are more learning from western music and using the techniques in the types of music production for PNG language songs in local dialects and Tok Pisin. The projects developed young studio musicians and sound engineers to better their songwriting skills and knowledge of western music to apply to local dialect and tok pisin songs with lyrics. The studio then work with the artists and musicians who record their albums and releases with the PGS label. The experience has been that the local PNG language dialect folk songs mainly Tolai or Kuanua and some from around the country are more free flowing, better lyrics and melodious than the Tok Pisin ones. Cassette album covers released used more artistic visuals for identity then just photos of band members. The most popular PNG music in terms of sales and had numerous hit songs were Painim Wok band of Rabaul with Tolai musicians. The DJ Band of Port Moresby also did their albums in Rabaul with some success with their released songs. (Steven Gagau, June 2019). Language as given:
