GARAGE/BEAT ROCK - VARIOUS - GUITARS OF THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE: FOLK AND POP MUSIC OF MYANMAR (BURMA) VOL.2 - 2005

Compilação cheia de pérolas formadas em Mianmar, no sudeste asiático! O disco Guitars of the Golden Trangle: Folk and Pop Music of Myanmar (Burma) Vol. 2 foi lançado em 2005 pela Sublime Frequencies e reúne 21 canções de algumas bandas e artistas do país, tiradas de demos e cassetes dos anos 60 e 70, com intenção de resgatar, junto com outros lançamentos, o movimento do rock na região durante esta época.
As músicas são todas curtas e bem singulares, com letras na língua local que misturam rock psicodélico e de garagem cru do ocidente com a música tradicional de Mianmar, contando ainda com passagens de pop e beat rock. A guitarra merece destaque nas faixas, em alguns momentos com wah-wah, principalmente nas músicas de Khun Paw Yann. A qualidade do som é o ponto fraco, com gravações ruins e precárias.
Pérola recomendada para fãs de rock "garageiro" e psicodélico dos anos 60 e 70.

This is a unique and very enjoyable collection of a forgotten scene of rock music recorded in the Shan province studio’s, which is situated in the ‘golden triangle’, an historical area of bandits, opium warlords and guerrilla fighters, with some independence. Even if it was an area with no tourists the style presented here is a very nice blend of psychedelic rock mixed with traditional or just personal ideas. The electric guitars are just great, from raw and primitive to wahwah effects with all elements good rock music needs, from free folk soul expressions to more independent inspiration. Recommended to lovers of psychedelia, curious about successful ethnical variations.
