I spent six hours working my way through this yesterday afternoon and really enjoyed how all 82 tracks flowed very well. I think probably I owe @Germanprof for this?
However right now
Can't believe I'm still the most recent buyer. All the flute you could eat and more!

Very likely. I posted quite a few of those Eilean releases here, and enjoyed that one quite a bit. They had a good run, and the label that replaced Eilean (laaps) is now putting out some good stuff too.
Los Angeles-based Cambodian pop/psychedelia group Dengue Fever and their 2005 album "Escape From Dragon House".
AMG says "It's odd enough for a group of white musicians to cover psychedelic rock oldies from Cambodia, but finding a bona fide Cambodian pop star to front the band - and sing in Khmer, no less.......sound bore a strong resemblance to Nuggets-style garage rock and psychedelia, heavy on the organ and fuzztone guitar, and with the danceable beat of classic rock & roll".
Been down a rabbit hole this afternoon after reading a review of the first album here written by by Brad Rose / Foxy Digitalis. New Rome is another alias of Tomasz Bednarczck.
@rostasi what great taste! Jade Warrior is one of my all-time favourite bands and their 1971 s/t album near top of my list.
AMG says "Jade Warrior is.....a remarkable album, all the more so since its makers could readily have given the likes of Jethro Tull and the Moody Blues some serious competition"
"Fandangos in Space" stunning 1973 album by Carmen.
AMG says "A unique band, Carmen combined flamenco music with progressive rock. Adding to their distinctiveness was the fact that during long instrumental passages, members of the band would dance on-stage, adding those sounds to the instrumental mix" and "Fandangos in Space......is a stunning demonstration of virtuosity, creativity, and songwriting skills".
Is that you? Is a sound piece in three parts, examining a person's journey of losing itself in the process of change. The soundscape is created solely from a handful of recordings of Julie’s voice, asking herself among other questions “is that you?”. Throughout the work the voice is distorted and disintegrated, processed to such a point, that the human identity is lost. Only occasionally the voice reveals itself, but gradually becomes more mechanical and unfamiliar.
Is that you? Is originally created for 20 sculptural speakers, installed for the audience to walk, sit, stand and lay between. The Installation was exhibited both as a self-running soundinstallation and performed as a live concert, spatialized to create sonic movements throughout the space.
@Brighternow - Thanks for all the introductions, you'll remain in my thoughts, always.
