about

名盤『イサーン・ラム・プルーン』に続く二度目のビッグバン、アンカナーン・クンチャイ幻の2ndアルバム。

ポコラ本五つ星でサイケ・コレクターにも知られる本アルバムは、「イサーン・ラム・プルーン」(1971)の大ヒット後、人気絶頂となったアンカナーンが自ら組織した楽団で興行した時代の録音である（当時自身の楽団を持ってアルバムを作れるモーラム歌手は非常に少なかった）。1st アルバムを踏襲しつつ、当時の最新のルークトゥンを積極的に取り入れたメインストリーム寄りの＜ポップさ＞が特徴で、惚れ惚れする歌唱力は1st以上だ。録音は1977-79年頃。

スリン・パークシリ制作のモーラムとルークトゥンが＜結婚した＞革命的な新音楽「イサーン～」で若くしてモーラム歌手のトップに躍り出たアンカナーンだが、その後「イサーン～」ほどのビッグヒットに恵まれなかった。楽曲クオリティーの高さとヒットとは往々にして相関しないものだが、これだけキラー曲が集まってヒットしなかったのは正に事故。そのため本アルバムの流通枚数は少なく、某有名DJ達が拍車をかけ、今やとんでもないプレミアが付いてしまった。今回はファンの間で何かと物議をかもす（？）オリジナル・ジャケットをそのまま使い、元々収録されていた別歌手の2曲を削除し、アンカナーンのみの10 曲で構成した。新マスタリングで劇的に生まれ変わった音も注目！解説はもちろんSoi48。

※注「モーラム」：モーは達人、ラムは声調に抑揚をつけながら語る芸能。つまり“語りの達人”で、その歌手と芸能の両方をさす名称。モーラムは“歌”ではない。イサーン（タイ東北部）が本場。

released March 24, 2018

"Never Forget Me" is the second release on EM Records from Angkhanang Khunchai, one of the greatest Thai singers; the original 1979 vinyl release, now extremely rare, was a collection of her self-produced songs, backed by her own band. This radically independent stance, though admirable, caused the album to languish in relative obscurity, due to her lack of support from the business masters of the Thai music scene of the time. "Never Forget Me" is a plea to her fans, and although the original album was not widely distributed, the high quality of the songs ensured that she was indeed not forgotten. Her first album, which was produced by Surin Phaksiri, was the very first of the new molam-luk thung style; the songs here continue in that vein, a mix of modern luk thung Isan and various types of molam, backed here by her hand-picked ensemble, which later disbanded due to financial pressures. Despite these struggles, "Never Forget Me" lives on, its killer tunes loved by DJs and given a 5-star rating by psych record guru Hans Pokora. Available now on vinyl and CD, with English lyrics and liner notes, this is unforgettable.
