This album is a complete remix and master of my first full-length album វិញ្ញាណ​បិសាច SHEBA and is intended to celebrate its second birthday while also doing justice to the original intent of each track. The album art here I have not altered as it is the original screencap from an old Mazda commercial from the backlogs of YouTube. I considered a release for this but decided it was more worthwhile to leave this up for free. Enjoy, and hopefully these new mixes will win over some more fans.

As a bonus, I've coupled a liner notes text file detailing some information on this album for those who are interested. as well as some more photos.

I've also linked a complete playlist of all the sources that were used in the production of this album, as well as listed them below. Most, if not all, of the artists that I sampled from are sadly no longer with us as the genocide in Cambodia claimed nearly 1/4 of the country's population at the time of its cessation in 1979. For this fact along with the location of this country, these songs are rather obscure, so feel free to listen and download them as you wish. Their memory lives on through future listeners and fans alike, never to be forgotten:

If you wish to know more about this tragedy as well as the history of Cambodia, below are some highly recommended documentaries on the subjects:

Don't Think I've Forgotten (a documentary about the music scene in Cambodia which also has a remastered soundtrack to accompany it)

Cambodia: Year Zero (a very well-done documentary by John Pilger)

Cambodia: The Betrayal (the sequel documentary to Year Zero covering the aftermath)

The Kingdom of Nature (as the title suggests it focuses on the beautiful and rare species of animals living in the country as well as threats to their populations)

S-21: Tuol Sleng (documentary by acclaimed Khmer film director Rithy Panh--one who has many more noteworthy documentaries about the Cambodian experience during and after the genocide--about the most brutal prison camp in Cambodia during this period. Also of note, the site is now a museum with many places kept as they are much the same as the camps in Germany and the surrounding area from WWII)

Why the Po Chrey Massacre Was Worse Than We Thought (Journeyman Pictures investigation into one of the overlooked "killing fields")

The Killing Fields (a dramatic retelling of the events that unfolded after the Khmer Rouge took power through the eyes of a journalist and his friend)

The Golden Voice (short historical drama following Ros Sereysothea during the reign of the Khmer Rouge)

A History of Cambodia by David P. Chandler (while not a film, it is one of the more extensive compilations of Khmer history I have found. Note that it is a bit outdated and only covers history pre-Khmer Rouge takeover)
