soreng santi - Iron Man
Finders Keepers' Compacta series uncovers a hard rocking diamond in Soreng Santi's psych-rock slaying version of 'Iron Man'. Until his freakish death in 1982, Soreng was responsible for a string of Thai hard-rock, with his cover of the Sabbath standard counting among his greatest achievements. The track works exactly as you'd imagine, replacing Ozzie's howl with an exotic incantation which we can only assume has been translated directly, while the band recreate that crushing riff and breakbeat with a commendable force. On the flipside we get the strange fruit of 'Dub Fai Kuigan', a superb psyche-rock jam with a genius hook of unidentified melodic percussion, perhaps a marimba, or maybe a rack of Singha bottles, we haven't the foggiest. This seven is also intended to prepare us for the oncoming 'Thai Dai' compilation of "Far-eastern esotericism", which should be a rather exciting project in their hands! If you know what's good, jump on this quick sharp!!!
