Thai Orchestra
So let's take a saunter down to Thailand for Spring Break. No not for the top notch sexual tourism (that's for the French & Germans) or the killer pho, but some old school Gamelan meets Dead groove Buddha Orchestra stomp. I know, I know you've all heard the Cambodia Rocks compilations and be thinking the Asian aping acid rock schtick is worn thin -- this ain't that, kemosabe. This is true hybrid trad rural Thai clang and bang blendered with meandering riffs... as if Jackie O Motherfucker was time-machined (v.) to the fields outside of Phucket circa the Nixon era.
I don't advocate smoking marijuana because it's illegal in the United States. But if you know a friend that you've tried and tried again to get him into rehab for his weed problem and the programs don't take and you've decided to just straight up enable his demonic lifestyle, make sure you make this poor soul a copy of this to listen to while he fulfills that evil affliction.
Lastly, I have zero info on this. No players. No recording date. Zero. I kinda like it that way.

My "friend" took your advice and relayed that this album was an E-ticket to the golden wat. Then he ate a glazed donut with some nam pla sauce, got sick, and later mused that the experience was very similar to trekking in former Siam.
i read "golden twat" first and was pleased.
