ANTH: Cambodia – The Rough Guide To Psychedelic Cambodia (World Music Network)

In the early 1970s the Khmer Rouge systematically destroyed the pop musical culture of Cambodia (and many of the musicians). But survivors and exiles preserved many gems & a new generation has produced the next chapter in the story of psychedelic Khmer-pop, rock and 1960s surf music in Cambodia. Here is a fascinating collection of examples of this old and new music, along with a very worthy bonus CD by the Cambodian Space Project. Really cool!
