Really great tape of rollicking pong lang. Lots of cool instrumental Isan grooves here but it's the appearance of familiar classics like 500 MILES and YOU CHEA-IN HEART (Khun Hank!) that nudge things into an especially unique dimension. Both electric organ and wah guitar show up to add their energy. Music for the good times.
awesome! i think this group is called "pong lang kalasin" (at least that's what is say's on the cover.. always hard to tell whether they mean it as a group name of a musical description, heh)
ReplyDeletealso i noticed a mistake in the printing of the tracklist... on side A, track 8 is just "500 miles", and track 9 on side B is not "arisan", but "a-ba-ni-bi"
ReplyDeletethanks peter! yeah, the track listing on the tape cover is confusing to say the least. that's funny about "a-ba-ni-bi" on side b... vaguely recognizing the melody i was wondering what the tune was... imho the pong lang version is a big improvement over the original. good stuff.
ReplyDeleteVery peculiar. Rather unlike the traditional music you've been posting. This actually grooves!
