Birds belong to a class of warm blooded vertebrate animals with feather covered bodies. Next to the animals,
birds are the most important group of land-living vertebrates. All birds have feathers, although in some types, particularly
those that cannot fly, the normal structure of the feathers may be much modified and be downy, woolly, or straw like. The
forelimbs of birds are modified into wings. The bony part of the tail, except in the very earliest fossil birds is very short,
and the visible tail is composed of feathers only. The teeth are absent except in some fossil forms. As in mammals the only
other group of warm-blooded animal , the circulation is highly perfected so that there is no mixing of arterial and venous
blood, but the arrangement of veins and arteries by which this is accomplished different in the two groups. Birds have

Bisa Saja is choosen as the first single of the album and theme song of BROWNIES, since the lyric reflects the story
in the movie. Budjana of GIGI demonstrates his skills in playing acoustic guitar in Cinta Terakhir . Three other brand new
song Dilema, Jangan Bilang Pacarku and Semua Orang Berhak Mendapat Rasa Bahagia, gives supporting nuances
to the movie flow as GIGI composed them by imagining how the scenes would like look based on the screenplay.
When Hanung Bramantyo, the director, and Dewa Budjana of GIGI chated, Budjana expressed his interest in
making soundtrack album. Then, he recommended a few of GIGI songs, which the producer accepted because of the
chemistry they created with the movie. Since GIGI can provide a variety of colors to add all kinds of musical nuances to
enrich the movie, the producer deemed it unnecessary to find other musicians to complete OST of BROWNIES. Armand
Maulana (vocalist), I Gede Dewa Budjana (guitarist), Thomas Ramdhan (Bass player) , and Gusti Erhandy (Drum-stand-in
player for Budhi haryono) put a lot of effort to this album. As a result, theyve created perfect blend of movie and songs
that makes BROWNIES tastier.
Its always fun to have a piece of Brownies in your mouth. But having it in your stereo set is more entertaining. No
movie is perfect without musical score and OST of Brownies proved it excellent.

the description how the album is accomplished through a series of steps

During the twentieth century the world has witnessed the inventions of many amazing things. Television is a
great invention, but there are arguments for and against whether it is the best invention of the twentieth century
Television was invented in the1920s and first came to Australia in 1956. It has played an important role in
communicating news. We can learn instantly about what is happening in the world because of television. Also, television
has provided people with entertainment in their own homes. People in isolated areas can still feel the other part of the
world because of television. For these reasons I feel that television could be considered the best invention of the
twentieth century.
On the other hand, there are other inventions that could be considered better than television. Some might
argue that computer should be awarded the distinction of being the best invention because computer has made life
easier. Others might argue that medical inventions such as heart pacemakers are best inventions because they help to
save live.
It can be seen that there are reasons for and against television being considered the best invention of the
twentieth century. After looking at both sides I still believe it is the best invention.
