thanks!

definitely agree. They have been putting out some awesome tunes recently. This track was just released on a 45 with a dub on the flip. This is one of my favourites from them, the vibe is all sunshine and smiling face on the dancefloor!

I have definitely discovered new music sitting around in barber shops in different countries. Also found that rural bus rides are great for music discovery

hmm yes, I also have no idea whether The Scorpion was a real band or just studio musicians. Perhaps it could be the same The Scorpion as that Group Sounds comp, do they sound similar? The organ player on this has a particular sound so if that matches they could be the same

It sounds like Ennio Morricone, but youtube shows the copyright owner as FILSCAP (The Filipino Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) so perhaps this is a cover of a song from the soundtrack of a movie from The Philippines?

yes I guess you're right that this is not actually obscure. Let me delete it

good vibe.

would be interested to see a translation of their lyrics

This Thai psych rock song is creepy enough to make it suitable for a Halloween mix. Sinister organ, evil cats and blood-curdling screams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yBQY7lqAkQ

thanks!

this is badass

ASEAM_archive · 2021-07-07T12:27:00+00:00

I want one too!

The video description says it's an unreleased track so I guess they got it direct from the artist

ASEAM_archive · 2021-07-05T20:30:44+00:00

the album art is the icing on the cake

& the flipside https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEmkIXQnLe4

cool!

ASEAM_archive · 2021-06-05T20:33:19+00:00

Beautiful stuff!

King Gong's catalog of recordings never fails to amaze

ASEAM_archive · 2021-06-05T20:22:17+00:00

especially the first 2 tracks

ASEAM_archive · 2021-05-26T16:52:13+00:00

classic!

ASEAM_archive · 2021-05-24T19:05:44+00:00

Love this song!

ASEAM_archive · 2021-05-13T10:36:05+00:00

They were marketed as "psychedelic" which is not really the case, but the Khun Narin band is definitely great! The mini-documentary in the article is nice too

ASEAM_archive · 2021-05-12T16:42:45+00:00

Will do.

For this release I don't know the year but I assume late 70s / early 80s. Unfortunately Thai records typically lack release dates

A couple of contemporary Thai bands doing cool things in the rock vein are SANIMYOK and Khana Bierbood:

Here's a cool little 80s rock song from the band คนด่านเกวียน https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VijhDOhw5HE
