oh the drama. Love is like the Raindrops has a real moment at 01:10. then builds up into super emotion before starting all over again. Also, apparently it is sung in Thai, rather than Khmer.
all this chlangden stuff is strangely delivered, as though many hands have altered the original work. the rough cut cover art seems to echo the shoddy noise-reduction effects, and new fangled drum machines and yamaha keyboards try to drown out the richness of the original recordings, which were made sometime before Sin Sisamouth's death in 1975. Fortunately the drama and tension remain, as fresh as the day they were sung.

Hello there. I saw that you posted 2 songs from the album. I was really interested, and was wondering if there was any way you can upload the whole album. I been searching for Chlangden CD OLDIES everywhere for the longest time, in my area its really remote and I can never find any of these gems. I could even pay you, if you were willing to sell. That's how much I want them, I been searching years and years. I see that you also uploaded a few songs from the other albums as well. Thank you so much for sharing with everyone. It means a lot, especially to people like me. I've always been a fan but it's just where I live we have no access to these at all no matter where I go. Sorry for any trouble, thank you so much for sharing.
Hey, I'll try my best to upload the whole CD soon. My internet isn't the best so I an't upload everyone but feel free to send in requests from time to time :)
If you've got money to burn, you might like to make a donation to a worthy cambodia-related cause. SCD Cambodia run an orphanage outside of Phnom Penh. Otherwise, Unicef are always doing good things for the kids.
Ok the entire album link for this and a few other albums are now up. Other albums will be made available when the time is right - feel free to send a request
Can you share the download links for the albums with us. I would love to download them too. I too lived in a remote area. Thank you for sharing you albums with us.
