OST : Sleepwalking Through The Mekong (by Dengue Fever, 2009)

"During the 60's and early 70's, as the war in Vietnam threatened its borders, a new music scene emerged in Cambodia that took Western rock and roll and stood it on its head - creating a sound like no other.

Cambodian musicians crafted this sound from the various rock music styles sweeping across America and England, adding the unique melodies and hypnotic rhythms of their traditional music. The beautiful singing of the renowned female vocalists became the final touch that made this mix so enticing.

As the peasant Khmer Rouge army closed in on the capital city of Phnom Penh, Cambodian rock and rollers played at rooftop parties while bombs ignited the evening sky. After taking over the country on April 17, 1975, the Khmer Rouge began one of the most brutal genocides in history, killing 2 million people - 1/4 of the Cambodian population. Intellectuals, artists and musicians were murdered simply for their status. Only a few miraculously survived to tell their story"cambodianrock.com

Dengue Fever has helped revive this tradition in a psychedelic way since 2001. After the brilliant "Venus on Earth" (M80-Real World Records, 2008), taking advantage of the trip to the Khmer capital, Phnom Penh during the Bon Om Thook water festival in 2005, they filmed a rockumentary telling some Cambodian rock story.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but the soundtrack is trippin' amazing! Some of the best Cambodian rock songs included.

Is this a yellow dream?

Or it is an orange trip? [RS] [MF]

VA : Rare & Bizarre 4

compiled by me.


I'm pleased to introduce you to my new comp... But first of all, allow me to say something...

These last years, I've been discovering and collecting a lot of music –any kind of music– almost everything from the net –but also my father's records and some purchase– where I've delighted with lots of shares from -mainly- all of you. I can't describe how exciting was for me to discover all of those rare stuff. Now, I'm addicted to Piccionis and Morricones, Libraries and Soundtracks, and I want to thank you all of your shared material. I feel like a beginner yet, because I can't invest too much money in obscure records. So, I want to dedicate this volume to the people behind his blogs like: Phil from Soundstational (now Eastern Eye), Monone (who has very similar likes to mine), LeCurling from Brutdegroove, Number06 from Sounds of Champaign, my old and good friend Dr. Z from The Unknown Planet, Vinyl 4 Giants, Agent Double-o-Soul, Licorice Pizza, It's Coming Out of Your Speaker, Vladimir from Paradise Soul, Rato from Rato Records Blog, Lenin In Space, Per-Christian from Music From the Third Floor, Paul Durango, Tobias from Mondo Morricone, Lost-In-Tyme, Soul Diggs from Heavy Weight Crates, Dust 2 Dust, A Pyrex Scholar, Stigma Rest Room, the great Chocoreve, Moogsensations, also friends from Weirdomusic, Totaly Fuzzy, Gravy Bread and Whole Lotta Blog, and losts Endless Mike †, admired Lellebelle †, Dichtung Und Wahrheit †.

VA : Rare Melancholy

Compiled by raremarc

The Rare series continues. Because of my obsession to compile I've made this one for alone listeners when you are in calm and reflexive moment or when you are in disaffection. Sometimes I ask myself If we feel sad because of sadness and then we listen to sad music or the other way, we feel sad because of listening sad music. Whatever, sometimes we need to introspection for any reason and melancholy is the most favourable feeling to stop and look into yourself. If you miss your lo(a)st lover or you wanna find the peace without the –sometimes uncomfortable– silence, play this record and blow your mind.

VA : Rare & Bizarre 3

Compiled and designed by me.


Maybe you can think a third part could be too much. Well, I have to say you that it's not the last one. But you also must know that I made it with all my touch and care. Then, I believe it's better than the previous ones. In this volume I tried to put the songs most difficult to find, although, not for that reason, less good. Indeed, they're very good! Tell me but, when you hear Honkey Tonk, Tropicando, I Like it Cool or Dancing Drums. And finally, I put for once and for all my favourite song by Morricone: Metti Una Sera a Cena with the most precious hummer woman in the music history Edda Dell'orso (we love her). I hope you like it, too.
