What Isan record(s) should I buy? What to start with?

"beautronics" is lower-fi, and simple. but very popular
with fans due to it's unique sound and melodies. to me, a
bit spotty but i mention it because so many isan fans love
it.

my recommendations:

"lucky cat" is more consistent than "beautronics", though it
leans more towards an ambient downtempo feel, with stronger
compositions fleshing out their unique analogue sound. not
melancholy, but like a sunday with puffy grey clouds. one
of the best recordings i own.

"salle d'isan" is an ep with a mix of downtempo and more
upbeat (for isan) tracks, with a tint of childhood sweetness
and playfulness. excellent.

imo, "salamander," "clockwork menagerie," and "digitalis"
are too spotty to recommend. but if you like the above,
you'll probably end up buying them anyway.

Spotty music? Didn't understand that...

spotty = inconsistent quality, a mix of good and weak tracks
