That's a really really good documentary. When I lived in Cambodia several years ago, hardly anyone I knew there listened to old psych. That's probably partly due to nearly all of the records having been destroyed by the KR. Lots of what we hear in that documentary was salvaged from collectors who left the country before the communist reign of terror. We're lucky that some of the music survived, but I wonder how much might be lost forever. Anyway, it's good stuff, and I prefer it to most of the current sound of Khmer pop / rock.

most recent Dengue Fever album (The Deepest Lake) is, IMO, their best record by a country mile and well worth yr time

Interesting, as a friend was just telling me he has gotten less interested in Dengue and attributed to a membership change in the group. I will give it a listen though
