this week, we're back to the smooth, nostalgic sounds of the city, with sathiya! i haven't been able to track down any biographical details about our singer here, but she seems to have been positioned at the conjuncture in the 1980s of the luk krung and string scenes; the time when formerly rock/pop/funk-oriented groups like the impossibles began harkening back to bangkok's mid-century big-band crooner music. indeed, setha sirachaya of the aforementioned impossibles provides guest vocals here, along with yuranan pamonmontri (better known as an actor and later politician). the songs are oldies from songwriters like sanga arampi and wet sunthonchamon, with slick new arrangements from 80s pop producers like thanit choenphiphatanasakun and prachin songphao (another impossibles alum). enjoy!

I have so many wonderful recordings from this site, and really, it allowed me to discover the music of Thailand, where I now live. What I found here certainly helped in my decision to move here, but this one, well, I don't know. Maybe it's an acquired taste. I'll give it a few more listens in case it grows on me.

perfectly understandable; the schmaltz is sure to be too thick for some. thanks for giving it a try, Dolmance!
