Shadow Music of Thailand

The Son of P.M.

  (P.M.Pocket Music) 

The Son of P. M.
The music of Payong Mukda, as well as 
Noparatana Tipayaosot (a. k. a. Johnny Guitar), 
was known as “Shadow Music”. The term was 
in reference to the British instrumental band 
The Shadows, who were quite popular 
throughout all of Asia. Recordings of this music 
were often billed as “Thai Modernized Music“, 
taking classic Thai compositions and mixing in 
elements of surf guitar, a-go-go music and other 
styles to create an entirely new form of music. 
Sublime Frequencies “Shadow Music of 
Thailand” compilation features tunes by P.M. 
Pocket Music, The Son of P.M., P.M.7, Johnny 
Guitar and Jupiter.

SHADOW MUSIC was a broad term given to the Thai guitar pop movement of the 1960s and the groups that came out of it, all under the profound influence of early Western rock and roll. British instrumental wonders The Shadows (as in Cliff Richards & the Shadows) were the origin of the genre's title, also coined 'Wong Shadow' or early Thai 'String' music. Shadow records were often marketed as 'Thai Modernized Music' which it was in the truest sense. Traditional Thai melodies were given the Shadow treatment; incorporating rock, surf, a-go-go, exotica, soul, blues, Latin and other worldly styles of the times. Inventive compositions and instrumental genius meet the occasional odd vocal arrangement and the results range from plaintive guitar and organ-driven lullabies to full-blown electric garage folk-psychedelia! Featured on this collection are a handful of the leading recorded artists from the time; P.M. Pocket Music, The Son of P.M. Throughout the 1960s, these groups forged a unique and highly self-referential Thai sound.  This beauties come in a full-color  jacket featuring gorgeous original Thai Shadow LP artwork , so don't sleep on this one.

Johnny Guitar

 Heeee man. No cha cha crap here bu a totally cool funky garage psych LP from Thailand from the second half of the 60s in cool garagesound. Crude recordings. All instro's with good heavy drumsbanging, beautifull organ garage licks, good guitars and beautifull melodies mixing Western and eastern influences and just bloody rare! What a cool sleeve even holding the band story at the back. This band was one of the first Thai guitar bands and they mixed Thai Classical music with Thai popular a go go music for dancing and listening. Basicly they rocked it up. When playing this I feel like an amrican GI in the 60s ending up in Bangkok in hazes of grass looking with big drunken eyes at a Thai rock band going wyld! Outstanding stuff here . This is the stuff I go for and its insanely rare. 

JOHNY'S GUITAR: . (Rosana Thailand)  Oh boy! This is a monster LP from Thailand!  totally mind bending guitar instrumentals from 1965. One cut turning in to a bonafide haunting psychedelic west coast Asian dream. Others are unique and great instro garage surf rockers. This one is a big big fave which is still almost unknown among garage and psych collector.
