Thai? Dai! (The Heavier Side Of The Luk Thung Underground)

Show up for Sroeng Santi’s mutant rip of Sabbath’s “Iron Man” riff, stick around for the sideways garage-funk that is “Dub Fai Kui Gun”. A sepia snapshot of a vanished era, Finder’s Keepers’ Thai? Dai! (The Heavier Side Of The Luk Thung Underground) is proof in advertising. Over the course of its fourteen tracks, the compilation goes heavy on the fuzz/scuzz providing an animated glimpse of assimilated western sounds as infused into the country’s regional, sonic vernacular.
