Cambodian Rocks Volume 2
Date undefinedI love the music on this album. I never in a million years would think of listening to this type of music, but it is very catchy. My favorites are "Hippie Men" aka "Ya Ya Men" and "Sweet Sixteen". The only thing I think is sad is that most of these people on this album were probably killed just because of their talents. If you have an open mind and a thirst to try different things, then this album is for you.
Cambodian Rocks Volume 2
Date undefinedThe other three volumes of CAMBODIAN ROCKS are interesting, but this one is far and away the best, and if you buy only one CD of Cambodian music, this should be the one. All of the songs are excellant, including Sinn Sisamouth's Spaghetti Western-ish "Beloved Girlfriend", Ros Sereysothea's bouncy "If You Wish To Love Me" (a song that would fit right in a Quentin Tarantino movie), Pan Ron's delerious and infectous "Monkey Dancing Monkey" (once heard, it will never leave your head. NEVER.) and Sisamouth's "Tender Hands", a strangely eerie cover of the AM radio standard "Streets of San Francisco". A haunting, hypnotic, and strange collection, made even more poignant by the fact that none of the major performers featured here made it out of Khmer Rouge regime alive, all of them murdered by the state for the "crime" of playing pop music.
Cambodian Rocks Volume 2
Date undefinedA trip to Cambodia and the sound track for City of Ghosts turned me on to groups like Dengue Fever and the Cambodian Rocks Vol. 1. Vol. 2 doesnt disappoint. It conjures up a time and place that was then wiped out by Pol Pot. There are some great vibes here and anyone who likes the slightly offbeat but great tunes will love this.
