The Sleepwalking Through the Mekong soundtrack makes for a good introduction for both neophytes to the group and its larger context. Only a few songs are full-on rarities for any dedicated Dengue Fever fan to start with — two brief instrumentals, including the wonderfully titled “March of the Balloon Animals,” plus a couple of live tracks and reworkings of earlier songs, including “Seeing Hands,” its rhythmic keyboard vamp and guitar twang and buried vocals resulting in a compelling version as much Spacemen 3 as Sinn Sisamouth. The latter features on the disc along with other classic performers such as Ros Serey Sothea, whose “Today I Learnt to Drink” nearly steals the whole disc. Source: AllMusic
