mamma li turki

Dear friends and listeners....
"Elektronik Türküler" (1976): Quite possibly the greatest album ever from Turkish psychedelic maestro Erkin Koray -- a mad blend of sounds that definitely lives up to its "elektronik" title! Most numbers feature a weird blend of electric guitar and baglama -- used in a style that's similar to Koray's earlier Arabesk recordings, but in ways that are often more tripped out and free-thinking -- almost in a groove that's similar to late 60s blends of Eastern influences and progressive rock in the US and Europe. There's a bit of vocals on the set, but the instrumentation dominates.......taste it HERE and enjoy....zero

PS: Out of print, at least outside of Turkey, thanks to the unknown original ripper!
