Some Thai surf rock. Think stuff like the Ventures and The Shadows, but with asian rhythm styling

A personal favorite of mine. Much of this music was influenced by the lps and 45s brought over by GI's during the Vietnam War. Much of it, along with its artists would be removed due to the fall of the South post-conflict.

Now this is a strange one. A mix of Opera, Soviet jams, funk, and just trippy shit in general; it is best listened to in its completion.
It actually very impressive.

Another Vietnam track. Some very fast-paced psychedelic freakout, ala Big Brother and the Holding Company. Sudden beat changes, frantic vocals, and some early shredding. Solid psych track.

A little more on the jazzy side

Another Vietnam track. The guitar's a bit unique on this one. Something you might hear in Kill Bill. Carol Kim is also a qt.

Moving onto Japan (and more electronic), Acid Mt. Fuji is the earlier work of composer Susumu Yokota. Makes for nice study-core with A E T H S T E T I C

Minimalism at some of its best.
