They quality of the recordings isn’t perfect, but the music is still able to get under your skin by being creepy, high-pitched, and distorted by the poor recording quality. And if you think about how this was the sound of a city emptied at gunpoint, the sounds of children spying on their parents, the sounds of forced labor camps, and the sounds of outright genocide… well, this music that just commands attention.

The bright red blood was spilled over the towns
And over the plain of Kampuchea, our motherland,
The blood of our good workers and farmers and of
Our revolutionary combatants, both men and women.
Democratic Kampuchea National Anthem

Best Wishes to People in Western Zone.
