The band collaborated in 1976 with Guruh Soekarno Putra, one of the sons of former Indonesian President Soekarno, and brother of Megawati Soekarnoputri, subsequent Indonesian President, on Guruh Gipsy, a progressive rock album that combined prog rock with Balinese gamelan.

Tlah kubaca dan aku mengerti
Betapa merindunya dirimu
Akan hadirnya diriku
Didalam hari-harimu
Bersama lagi
Kau bertanya padaku
Katamu kau tak kuasa melawan
Gejolak didalam dada
Yang membara menahan rasa
Pertemuan kita nanti
Saat kau ada disisiku
Semua kata rindumu semakin membuatku
Tak berdaya menahan rasa ingin jumpa
Percayalah padaku akupun rindu kamu
Ku akan pulang melepas semua kerinduan
Yang terpendam
Kau tuliskan padaku
Kata cinta yang manis dalam suratmu
Kau katakan padaku saat ini
Ku ingin ada pelukmu
Dan belai lembut kasihmu
Tak akan kulupa selamanya
Saat bersama dirimu
Semua kata rindumu semakin membuatku
Tak berdaya menahan rasa ingin jumpa
Percayalah padaku akupun rindu kamu
Ku akan pulang melepas semua kerinduan
Yang terpendam
Jangan katakan cinta
Menambah beban rasa
Sudah simpan saja sedihmu itu
Ku akan datang
Semua kata rindumu semakin membuatku
Tak berdaya ha
Semua kata rindumu semakin membuatku
Tak berdaya menahan rasa ingin jumpa
Percayalah padaku akupun rindu kamu
Ku akan pulang melepas semua kerinduan
Yang terpendam
Takkan ku lupa selamanya
Saat saat bersama dirimu
Takkan ku lupa selamanya
Saat saat bersama dirimu
The song "Kangen" by Chrisye Ft. Sophia Latjuba depicts a long-distance love affair, where the two lovers are separated by distance and time. The song starts with the singer receiving a letter from their love interest, expressing their longing and anticipation for when they will be reunited. The singer reads the letter and understands the depth of their love, expressing how helpless they feel in resisting the urge to see their loved one. The letter also contains sweet words of love that make the singer yearn for their touch and embrace.
The second verse depicts the lover asking the singer about their return, but their conflicting emotions and suppressed feelings make it hard for them to respond positively. The singer, nonetheless, promises to come back and release all the pent-up emotions and love they have for each other. The final verse highlights that sometimes, expressing love can add to the burden of distance and time, and it's essential to focus on the desire to meet and embrace each other rather than the sadness of separation.
Overall, "Kangen" is a love song that speaks to the universal feeling of longing, missed opportunities, and love's inevitability. The singer's promises to come back and the sweet words of love in the letter speak to the hope and anticipation that come with love, even in the face of distance and uncertainty.
