5.0 out of 5 stars MUST purchase for 60's Rock Music fans!, June 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Cambodian Rocks (Audio CD)

Unknown to exist until recently, these recordings from the late 60's, early 70's Cambodian rock scene from mad garage-band rave-ups to mystic go-go organ/fuzz guitar with exotic female singers. Extremely sensual and emotionally charged - you'll hear echoes of Jimi, Janis, Seeds, Them and San Francisco acid.

If you love 60's music, this is a must for your collection! Can you imagine a song like "Gloria" sung in Cambodian? Then try track 13. And if there was ever an international hit, it's track 2. There is no track listing on this CD. All the tracks are listed as A1, A2, A3 and so on. But thanks to Dengue Fever, I did find out that track 2 is called "I Am Sixteen." And track 9 is called "New Year's Eve."

Buy this CD and you'll have 22 songs (70 mins) of pure enjoyment. I recommend Cambodian Rocks to anyone. Period!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Rock and Roll, July 19, 2004

This review is from: Cambodian Rocks (Audio CD)

I would kill for a track listing. I found this at the campus library and loved every second, but there's no track listings. I would love to be able to track down MORE music from these bands. They are absolutely incredible. They are highly recommended, incredibly nostalgic, but very new and fresh as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun hybrid cultural mutation, October 15, 2004

22 uncredited but mostly classic fusions of cultures. Cambodian bar bands mirroring and reinventing western pop and rock forms of the (60s/70s) day. More fun than any recordings should have a right to be and absolutely essential to all lovers of music from this time period, or rock & roll in general.
