I'm going to update this post some for more clarity. <br /><br />I now know why I like this tape so much - the klong lao! I have lot's of klong yao cassettes and love 'em, but I never made the connection with the music on this tape, it just sounded like awesome Molam. Very illuminating and interesting to see the pieces fit together. Incidentally, this tape is one of the first Thai tapes I ever bought - picked it up in 1997 at a market in Hat Yai of all places!matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425446485032010700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5204958775827261317.post-68868188021267766252009-04-16T13:47:00.000+07:002009-04-16T13:47:00.000+07:00this is a really nice tape!
