THAI FUNK: ZUDRANGMA VOLUME TWO - VARIOUS ARTISTS (2LP)

Thai Funk: Zudrangma Volume Two Various Artists on 2LP

Volume Two in the Thai Funk Zudrangma series picks up where the first volume left the listener salivating, strange east-meets-west funk pollinations. Artists from the first comp, like the soulful Chantana Kittiyapan and disco funkateers Royal Sprites, take a celebratory lap around some fascinating new discoveries, like The Impossible, who regularly gigged in Hawaii, and still occasionally play today.

Volume Two is weirder than the first, with more synthesized sounds working into the folds of effected experimentation, but the results are invigorating to say the least. (Sangthong Seesai’s vocal inflections sound like Crazy Frog on “Duang Duang Duang,“ but it’s not as bad as you’d imagine.) Like the first volume, the double LP is limited to 1,300, and includes a large fold-out poster of the record covers you‘re discovering for the first time.
