The video Sunrise Jive is considered to be important as it presents well issues connected to the socio-political history of Indonesia. The music in the Sunrise Jive is a memory of the times when military ruled. Like a theater stage, this record also describes how workers act every morning, with all the awkwardness and rejection of company rules. This work is very fresh and full of humor, and presents reality very naturally as it was recorded candidly as it is. [Hafiz, 10 Years of Video Art in Indonesia 2000-2010]
