After gaining popularity through his solo project, FARIZ RM frequently formed band groups in various genres. At almost the same time, Fariz became part of several groups such as TRANSS, SYMPHONY, JAKARTA RHYTHM SECTION, and WOW!. The WOW! group itself was formed by Fariz along with IWAN MADJID and DARWIN B. RACHMAN. Their debut album was released in 1983 under the title PRODUK HIJAU. Together, they brought songs with a progressive rock vibe, featuring unusual melodic twists, reminiscent of the song patterns and arrangements of GENESIS, RUSH, or EMERSON LAKE & PALMER. The unique timbre of IWAN MADJID's voice combined with FARIZ's distinctive voice turned out to be quite harmonious. Numbers that are considered 'heavy' for the average listener are featured in this album. It might be a bit difficult to break through the market competition filled with easy listening songs, but this album has top-notch quality. No wonder, this album ranked in the top 100 of the 150 BEST INDONESIAN ALBUMS OF ALL TIME according to ROLLINGSTONE INDONESIA magazine. The hit from this album is "PURIE DHEWAYANI," a slow-tempo song performed excellently by IWAN MADJID.

PURIE DHEWAYANI
Getar nurani
Menggugah lenanya kalbu
Saratnya mataku membenam rindu
Geram ku dibuatnya
Apa yang kini terjadi
Tak sempat membuat ku mengerti
Kala ku sadar
Diriku terhanyut mimpi
Terbuai khayalan birahi sendiri
Yang datang malam hari
Hingga saat pagi
Saat ku terjaga dalam sepi sendiri
Geram ku dibuatnya
Batinku kini terjerat
Tak mungkin bergerak
Tak mungkin kau elak panahnya
Kau Purie Dhewayani
Menghujam deras dadaku
Tepat bersarang di sudut jantungku
PURIE DHEWAYANI
The vibrate of my conscience
Awakens the slumbering heart
My eyes, heavy with longing
Made me furious
What is happening now
I couldn't understand
When I realized
I was swept away by dreams
Swayed by my own erotic fantasies
That come at night
Until morning
When I wake up in solitude
My anger is stirred
My soul is now ensnared
Unable to move
Unable to escape its arrow
You, Purie Dhewayani
Pierce my chest fiercely
Nestled right in the corner of my heart
