Sublime Frequencies works its way down
to the tip of the Malaysian peninsula
with this superb collection of
Singaporean 60Æs beat, pop, and ôoff-
beat cha-chaö instrumental classics from
original vinyl 45Æs. These 22
supercharged beat-a-go-go tracks defy a
common held belief that the Chinese
couldnÆt rock, groove, or swing back in
the 1960Æs. The vocals are sung in the
dialects of Mandarin and Hokkien and
they soar with catchy hooks atop groovy,
clever beats. ThereÆs plenty of electric
guitar, organ, and crazy percussion
rocking and twisting behind it all, at
times reaching quite a mad and freaky
state of affairs. The recordÆs finale
ôHappy Lunar New Yearö sung by Linda
Yong may be the weirdest New Year
greeting ever recorded. Every single cut
is a winner and it never lets up from
start to finish. Although most of the
lyrics focus on love, innocence, and
festive atmospherics, thereÆs an epic
vibe to the music that rivals other
extremely well-recorded and unique pop
styles emanating from the surrounding
Southeast Asian scenes during the late
1960Æs. Seminal bands of the period like
The Stylers and The Silvertones are well
represented here backing up a wide array
of popular vocalists with Charlie
Electric Guitar BandÆs Sound of Japan
ripping it up on four brilliant
instrumental tracks. CD comes with a 16
page booklet featuring gorgeous full-
color photos of the original 45 sleeves
and extended liner notes from compiler
William Gibson.
