The follow up to the label�s fastest selling and most sought after 45, the jaw dropping doppelganger Sab-Jam from Sukothai psych rocker Sroeng Santi - a dysfunctional slice of outside punk funk complete with bottles and bells breakdown � Thai? Dai! presents 14 slabs of the heaviest Thai funk and psych rockers ever committed to disc. TIP!

The styles featured on this compilation fall somewhere between Luk Thung (�song of the countryside�) and Luk Krung (�song of the city�). Bangkok was a particular melting pot for the evolution of these two genres, the former alluding to musical themes and lyrics aimed at the wider national population, the latter looking westwards with a more urban �sophisticated� audience in mind. The tracks here were experimentations or dice rolling by both little known groups, as well as established figures like Plearn Promdan.

* Finders Keepers Records break new ground yet again with another forward thinking compilation of accidental-world music. Expect the unexpected.

* Officially licensed. Even within Thailand the majority of these tunes remain unissued, so it�s with great pleasure that FK present this glimpse of the strange underbelly of Thai Luk Thung in all its unique, original and outlandish glory - a small snapshot of an otherwise forgotten era gloriously remastered from the original sources with full cooperation from the original label, Sound Of Siam, Co. Ltd.
