Description:
A tribute to Kraftwerk & The Greg Kihn Band?! Recommended for everyone from New Wave fans to readers of *The Traveling Isan Music Disc Guide*! The Greg Kihn Band’s “The Breakup Song” & Kraftwerk’s “The Model” Covers?! This is insane!!! A hidden gem by Saithara Combo, led by Thepthara Panyamana, has been released on vinyl by Thailand’s Baa Records! Recommended for everyone from New Wave aficionados to readers of *The Traveling Thai-Isan Music Disc Guide*! A hidden gem by Saithara Combo, led by Thepthara Panyamana, has been released on vinyl posthumously with the cooperation of his younger brother, Komsan!! The 1985 lead single “SiaPhroLao (Ruined by Liquor)” featured on Side A samples a famous German synth-pop hit from that era, while Side B’s “TaoOO (Youthful Old Man)” incorporates elements of a famous American power-pop song. This double-sided record features 80s sounds layered over traditional Thai music, creating an utterly addictive listen!! While the experimental sound feels slightly fresh, the subject matter is truly "down-to-earth." From “alcohol”—a subject closely tied to the music of the Isan region—to the self-deprecating humor of an ordinary middle-aged man… it’s the very voice of the common people, embracing both humor and a sense of poignancy. For this reason, it’s highly recommended for Disc Guide readers who are familiar with terms like “Morlam” and “Luk Thung”! Saithara is a group representing traditional Lanna music from the Chiang Mai region, led by Chansom Saithara, who was named a National Artist in 1996. Saithara Combo, a spin-off project, was led by Chansom’s son, Thepthara Panyamana. As the central figure, he incorporated international pop styles while creating humorous parody songs in the local Kamuang dialect (Northern Thai). Thepthara also served as a composer and mentor for NokLae, a children’s music group from the Chiang Mai region, helping them grow into stars who gained popularity throughout Thailand. Although Thepthara passed away in 2017, BaaRecords—a Thai record shop and label—collaborated with his younger brother, Komsan, to reissue this recording in his memory. This project holds significant cultural value in preserving Northern Thai musical heritage and passing on Thepthara’s creativity to the next generation, and it has garnered attention among record collectors and Thai music fans worldwide. (From the manufacturer’s info) Is BaaRecords’ custom jacket an homage to Kraftwerk’s “The Model/Computer Love”? There’s a certain whimsy to this detail, which is a nice touch.
