'' Cambodian Rocks '' is a compilation of 22 uncredited , untitled Cambodian psychedelic and garage rock songs from the late 1960s and early 1970s . When the tracks were recorded , musicians in the thriving music scene were combining Western rock and pop genres with their own styles and techniques . When the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975 , artists were among those viewed as a threat to the regime 's agrarian socialist vision , and several of the performers on the album are believed to have been among those killed during the ensuing Cambodian genocide of 1975-1979 . A great deal of information about them and their creative output was lost , although some has been recovered since the album 's release
