Before the Khmer Rouge took power in 1975, unleashing a horrifying genocide, Cambodia had one of the most vibrant and exciting music scenes in Asia.

With a mixture of traditional Khmer music and a myriad of western genres (from French and latin music, to rock-and-roll, rhythm-and-blues, surf, psychedelia, soul and many more) the few pre 75 Cambodian recordings that survived - most of them were destroyed - are enough to make anyone with a taste for good music shocked by the amazing quality of the sounds created during those golden years.

Gathered in this amazing album are some of the most talented and unique musicians from that amazing era with an explosive collection of tracks sure to blow the mind of the listener.

A celebration of some of the best music ever made.
