Description:Tolai Songs of the Millennium is a compilation album featuring Tolai music from Papua New Guinea's East New Britain region, likely produced by Pacific Gold Studios in the late 1990s or early 2000s to mark the new millennium. ​ The genre and context fits within the Tolai rock and reggae scene, building on earlier releases like Tolai Rock (PAC102), with high-energy tracks blending local Tolai language lyrics, rock guitars, and island rhythms from Rabaul artists. No exact release date or producer details appear in available records, but it aligns with Pacific Gold's cassette series alongside Ailan Reggae Song List. 001. ROSALIN - Band ? (Kuanua – ENBP) 002.
