Discography
As with many of his contemporaries, a great deal of Aularong's creative output and information about his life was lost during the Khmer Rouge regime.
His best known work to Western audiences are through compilation releases many years later. Cambodian Rocks, released on the New York-based Parallel World label in 1996, contains 22 uncredited, untitled tracks of pre-Khmer Rouge psychedelic and garage rock music. In the years since its release, the tracks have been identified and three attributed to Aularong.
Reception and legacy
Aularong is one of the personalities profiled in the 2015 documentary Don't Think I've Forgotten. The New York Times describes him as "a charismatic proto-punk who mocked conformist society."
