Cambodia Rock Intensified!

Various artists, “Cambodia Rock Intensified!” (Lion Productions, 2011; original release late 1960s/early 1970s)
More painstakingly restored classics from Cambodia’s incredible pre-Khmer-Rouge rock scene. If you haven’t heard this stuff, picture a harder-rocking, trippier take on French ‘60s pop with all sorts of dizzyingly baroque inflections of Cambodia’s local melodic and rhythmic heritage; this is ome of the best of it I’ve heard.
Try 3, 4, 9.
