Azthemaz
made up of lead singer Azhar The Mazar aka Scoot, lead guitarist Azman
aka X5, rythmn guitarist Winston, drummer Randy and Back-up singers, Sharizah
and Rinah have been waiting about two years before releasing the single
as lead singer Azhar felt that the 
song
was way ahead of it's time. "People will not understand the groove of the
song as they are not of the same vein", says Azhar went asked to comment
on the late release. I wonder if he is hiding things, he don't want the
people to know, or just acting up you know. Early sales of the single has
despite the rave reviews been quite tepid. The reason for this has been
blamed on distribution of the single. "I think the reason why there is
very slow sale of the song is due to the new innovative distribution technique,
that our recording company has used", says Azman. And there could be some
truth in that, 
planned
as an Asia wide release, the number of copies of the single shipped, one
month after release, to the neighbouring Asia Pacific Region is zero. In
Singapore distribution is a bit better with, the number of copies distributed
being one. This copy however is a Betacam SP copy and was given to the
group themselves. So unless the problem is resolved, it will be a sad fact
the song will not reach the status that it should receive. Reviews bt Nur
Ghani, in house Music Correspondent for Gamers Executive Committee, have
been very positive, "nice tune and song" he says. But unless their internal
problems are fixed the song can only hope of being in the Billboard Charts
or any charts for that matter. Asked what he thought about the fact that
a great song was not being made accessible to the masses, Azhar the Mazar
had this to say, "I don't mind cause, I'm hiding things, I don't want the
people to know".
