Lambert Saravane, had gone to the French capital with the specific intention of impressing upon his colleagues that ``the only reasonable and natural solution'' of the problem was by ``a transfer of sovereignty to the Indian Union''.
Excerpts from the Editorial: ``The idea of a referendum in French Indian territory is impracticable in view of the fact that the authorities have allowed conditions to deteriorate so far as to make a free and impartial referendum extremely unlikely.
As against this it was held that Article 27 of the French Constitution required that any cession of territory should have the approval of the population: and the obstacle seemed incapable of being overcome except by a referendum.

 CD Review: Jah Wobble & The Invaders of the Heart Molam Dub   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Most tracks feature the sing-song of a single male lead singer who is occasionally joined by the joyous chants and squeals of the rest of the Lao crew.
Several songs add tastefully programmed drum loops and dub mixing techniques, the original "Saravane" is entirely instrumental with intricate string and wind instrument jamming and "Lam Long" lets us hear a few minutes of just Molam (which, I admit, these Western tuned ears finds a bit grating by itself).
The final 2 tracks - a 'dance' mix and "Hill Music", the latter composed solely by Wobble's unit - are thankfully not tacky add-ons and fit in just fine with the rest of the album.

 Jah Wobble : Molam Dub - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The throbbing aqua-dub of "Lam Tang Way" is equally potent in both female and male vocal versions.
Revisited again, the song survives its most threatening mix on "Lam Tang Way Dub." In instances like these (and "Lam Saravane"/"Lam Saravane Dub"), the focal point isn't clear, with every element of the music vying for your attention and the combined results winning.
The techno patter of "Lam Bane Xoc" and "Lam Siphandone"'s muscular bass groove, on the other hand, are kept at a respectful distance from the Laotian vocalists for results that aren't nearly as captivating.
