Matt Dillon has assembled a remarkably eclectic mix of songs for the soundtrack of his directorial debut City of Ghosts, a thriller set in present day Cambodia. The CD opens with a charming version of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" performed in Khmer by the Los Angeles band Dengue Fever and goes on to feature French pop songs, 1920s jazz and Hawaiian tunes, the ambient music of Peter Whitehead, and lots of Cambodian songs from the 1960s and early 1970s. This last category includes tracks by Sin Sisimouth, who was Cambodia's biggest heartthrob in the '60s, and Ros Serey Sothea, who was known as the Queen of Khmer Music. The Cambodian songs are wildly creative and include folk songs like Chan Chaya's "Sak Kra Va," which is performed on traditional Khmer instruments; "Love Pillow," a ballad by Choun Malai that wouldn't sound out of place on a collection of '60s singers like Dusty Sprinfield and Jackie DeShannon; and Ros Serey Sothea's "Have you Seen My Love," which blends a stabbing electric organ rhythm pattern with weirdly distorted guitars. Sadly, most of the Cambodian performers heard on these recordings didn't survive the Khmer Rouge's reign of terror of the late 1970s and Dillon has dedicated this CD to their memories. --Michael Simmons
