I've been to a few monk ordinations and Thai weddings with this kind of music going down, it's great. A lot of the morlum CDs seem to be cursed with fairly glassy 80s type production values, would be great if a Thai "Steve Albini" was around making more fly on the wall type recordings. for example Morlam superstar Barnyen Rakkan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRfTGW8FBOc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8IsBgBJ-Dw but thats a great video.. Morlam in it's natural environment being enjoyed by the people. It isn’t psych rock, it’s a style called Morlam which is kind of like the delta blues of north/east Thailand.
