"Yes! We can do it!"

...is an innocent response that entails a whole gamut of experiences four generations of BC 106 broadmajors have gone through. It's an emotional ride surely not for the faint of heart.

Apt as it is with current music trends, "Soloista" is a pure marketing success (thanks to Multiply, YouTube and Yahoo!). Even though the album carries a roster of fine talented singer-songwriters, the CD didn't sell. But audiences and sponsors loved the whole concept.

So how is the fourth time around any different? Not much.

Ambitious. Yes. Dramatic. Yes. Expensive. Absolutely. Fun. U-huh. Successful. Of course. Would we do it again? Hmm.

Suffice to say, this fourth outing is a culmination of the past successes and failures of previous albums and still earns its rightful place in BC106's Hall of Fame.

It's time for this elective to evolve. Take a bow, everyone.

Though plagued with intrigue and several production woes, Myka is as wholesome as she looks. Her song "Northbound" showcases first-rate songwriting and immensely talented jazz musicians.

He won our hearts with his acoustic rendition of Ne-Yo's "So Sick" and more so with his original ditty "Fly The Night Away". In cyberspace, his audition reel garnered thousands of online views. While his childish persona takes over behind the scenes, the adorable Peter is all pro when under the limelight.

The personification of pop, Chrion's undeniable musical appeal garnered him a spot early on in selecting the final five. His composition "Halaga Sa Buhay Ko" is, without a doubt, a commercial radio hit.

She entered the studio in her hi-heeled red pumps and snobbish aura raising several brows as she took the stage. The fashionable and gifted Ceres turned out to be a ball of talent and charisma. Her creation "Devoid of Drama" shows her incredible vocal prowess and flair for songwriting.

In the creative world, the majority is, more often than not, deceptively wrong. The cute, bubbly and rock-chic feisty Lee wouldn't have made the cut had certain democracies been exercised. "My Last Day" rises as a stellar production featuring a powerful vocal performance, amazing instrumentalists and a competent production team.

Whoa. A classical album in the College of Mass Communication? You've got to be kidding, right? We proved the naysayers wrong as this album project surpassed all our expectations in both the artistic and commercial aspect.

We have been so blessed to have executed all our plans into perfection from day one. "To produce an album that will increase awareness and support for the next generation of young classical musicians."

Mission accomplished.

This batch will always be the pride and joy of their beloved teacher. This is what BC106 is all about.

There's nothing more engaging than the melody of perfectly played movements of "Sonata op. 1 nr. 8" by this amazing guitar trio.

Every once so often a classical prodigy comes along. We have been fortunate to have discovered Homer in his "pre-glory" years during our lifetime. Here's his masterful rendition of "La Catedral". We anticipate his rise in the classical music hall of fame in the near future.

There's nothing like the good `ol French violin and guitar duet "Berceuse" to complete our classical undertaking. Maestros Joshua Legaspi and Ferdinand Medina lend us their time and talent to bring us a soothing melodious piece.

A Spanish solo from Classicology's resident damsel. Such is our delight to have captured the beautifully-played romantic piece "Canco del Lladre".

The shy yet meticulous guitar soloist dons his version of an 18th century classic by maestro Fernando Sor entitled The Grand Solo: Sonata on D. Requiring precision and control, listen as his fingers dance a rhythmical cadence with this 10-minute masterpiece.

The second time around was a memorable and sweet, sweet outing. ReStrung is an eclectic blend of ear-candy tunes by bands from different universities: University of the Philippines, Ateneo, La Salle and University of Asia & the Pacific.

The most expensive album to produce in BC106 history proved to be a worthwhile exercise given the exposure and attention the artists and their songs gained. A big bonus was having the project extended outside the walls of the academe thanks to a sponsored tour with Kitchie Nadal at semester's end.

The memories live on as we see these bands basking in the limelight of their success.

Having Up Dharma Down is one of the biggest success stories of BC106. It is both a privilege and honor to be part of their humble beginnings and we continue to support their much deserved recognition and fame. A billboard in Edsa, whoa!

This is their original version of "June", a certified pre-album hit before adapting to a new urban sound.

"Pushin' & Shovin'" is exactly what you have to keep doing says reggae-funk trio, Delinquentres. The group is a merry mix of 2 waring universities: DLSU and Ateneo.

For this year's album project, a band from the University of The Philippines records a semi-unplugged rock tune called "Giling Song" that has an infectious chord pattern. Introducing, Deltajoy...bearing the distinction of being the so-called veterans of the bunch with numerous gigs under their belt.

Frontman of a self-named band from the University of Asia and The Pacific lends us the only Tagalog song in the album called "Gising". Girls usually go gaga over his boyish charms and this class was no different!

The very first album production of broadcasting students in the College of Mass Communication in U.P. Diliman. Under an elective called BC106, the goal of the course is to exploit music as an art and business.

Unplug `N Play is an album of unplugged performances composed of unsigned bands. From almost 20 auditionees, 5 bands emerged as worthy candidates: White Noise, Pandora, Kiko Machine, Lady Bedspacers and Blue Note Funk-- each with its own musical identity.

This alpha venture set the foundation for future BC106 productions. The birth pains included off-sync recordings, headstrong artists, marketing woes and internal chaos. Ironically, despite the problems, the project was financially successful with its break-even finish.

This band by one of the students of BC106 almost didn't make it in the final cut because of a lackluster audition performance. Fortunately, Launch Day become a ground for redemption as they easily became a crowd favorite thanks to their vibrant renditions of classic rock songs and of course exceptional originals. This one's called "A Merry Song".

These talented musicians give us an acoustic-jazz track of cool guitar riffs and powerful vocals called "Farewell To Angst". A technically-challenged recording, it has all the dramatic stories music production has to offer.

It's hard to imagine that a crazy band like Kiko Machine had a song like this during their early years. Inspired by the defunct TV program "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire", it's still a mystery how "Lifeline" balances out the album.

A mix of pinoy alterno-pop and novelty, Lady Bedspacers renders an unforgettable catchy tune about immortality called "Bala". One of the most easy-to-work-with bands in the roster. Pegged at 6:15 flat, this song's a short musical story.

Perhaps the strongest track in the album, "Waiting For The Dawn" is reminiscent of a familiar Beatles tune. With vocals by Barbie and Mike of Blue Note Funk, their voices meld as one in a beautifully recorded acoustic ensemble. Definitely a must-listen!

Mark Limchoa dons a country-style Elvis persona and serves as surprise guest performer for Unplug `N Play's filler-finale.
