Erkin Koray (plus bonus tracks)
CD (Item 415713) Istanbul/World Psychedelia, Late 60s/Early 70s — Condition: New Copy
The first full album of work by Erkin Koray – a Turkish rocker from the late 60s and early 70s, and one who did a lot to fuse American rock styles with "arabesk", a Turkish version of Arab popular music! Erkin started out in the beat group years, and some of the earlier tracks here show that influence – but as time goes on, the guitars get heavier and mix more with traditional instrumentation to create a sound that's really unique – almost an eastern take on progressive modes of the west, played to best effect by Koray on the electric baglama – a weirdly tuned stringed instrument that's a bit like a trippy version of the lute! Some tracks here have vocals, others are more heavy on the instrumentals – and the CD features 20 tracks that comprise most of the singles recorded by Koray for Istanbul Records. Titles include "Istemem", "Cicek Dagi", "Nihansin Dideden", "Mesafeler", "Yagmur", "Ilahi Morluk", "Dost Aci Soyler", "Zulehya", "Belki Birgun Anlarsin", and "Silinmeyen Hatiralar". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
