The world underground masterminds at sublime frequencies once again shed light on the transcultural influence of rock with this compilation which documents only the mid-late sixties, but encompasses the spread of rock, its adaptation to malaysian and sigaporian tastes and customs, and its developmental arc from an underground taboo to explosive popularity complete with fashion and teen idols. The influence of hard-hitters like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Buddy Holly is readily apparent, but almost all of the singing is in Malay, and you'll also hear flourishes of psych rock, mod influence, and surf.
