I think there's only so many ways you can describe four-minute pretty little melodies. There is something, however, in this Isan recording from 2002 which makes it somewhat sounding more like a strong A-side for this single than the B-side of the split with Lali Puna.
Perhaps it's due to the fact that, in comparison to the Phonophani song, Isan has a much stronger interest in melodic structure within a strict time signature, while Phonophani easily sounds like randomized synth noodling within a key signature put through some fuzzy distortion. By the end of the Isan track, however, the melody hasn't gone far, while at the end of the Phonophani track, the tune has evolved from slow trickle of individually sounding tones to a downpour of notes. More than four minutes of this and I would probably run screaming for the "eject" button on my turntable. The synth sounds for both artists are undeniably as sweet as a cavity-inducing baklava but after digesting just these two, I'm feeling that I want something with a bit more flavor.
