Wow.....get ready to brush your teeth a few times during the play of this album! This aptly titled 2 LP set covers a very rare but totally cool yet freaked out genre with Turkish psychedelic rock from 1969 to 1980.
The music is totally psyched out with tons of fuzzed guitars, traditional instrumentation, native vocals and lyrics and a certain rare vibe about these choice tracks. As i listened to this compilation i found myself totally just loving every track....there is not a bad track on this comp. The folks at Bouzouki joe records have done a wonderful job is pulling these long lost rare artifacts together and the sound quality is pretty good actually.I was already a little bit up on the Turkish psych scene with the likes of Erkin Koray, Baris Manco and Cem Karaka, but this 2 LP set introduced me to now a much wider bit of the music from this region.
It is actually quite sad that this music is not really heard outside of the acid-drenched international music afectionados!
I would think that this is an album you wont bring to your highschool grad reunion, but when no one is looking why not slip into some Turkish Freakouts!
