In the world of Turkish psychedelic music, there is perhaps no one more important than Erkin Koray . Koray is credited with being one of the first to play Western influenced rock music in Turkey as early as the late 50s. His early 70s albums "Erkin Koray" from 1973 and "Elektronik Türküler" from 1974 are flat out essential for anyone into Turkish psych. New from the great Sublime Frequencies is "Mechul", a collection of songs from his 70s heydey, with most being previously unreleased. The tracks come from Koray's personal collection and have [...]
Erkin Koray loves to set up the listener's expectations with a long introduction and then hit them with something not too slow, not too fast. Turkish retrospectives have been coming out on Western labels in a slow trickle for years: Edip Akbayram on Shadoks, Selda on Finders Keepers, pop and rock musicians from the '60s and '70s, rolling out their electrified sazzes, their chaise-lounge, sweet-drawling voices, their folk songs jumping up into protest music as the politics of their country simmered around them. Erkin Koray slips in among the rest, a good solid act, all the local music and [...]
For both economic and geographic reasons, Turkey often acts as the de facto representation of east meets west. While this might seem like an obvious illustration when discussing Anatolian rock pioneer Erkin Koray , his trailblazing embrace of Western psychedelia's edgy aesthetic in a culturally ambiguous mid-20th century Instanbul (that wasn't quite ready for him) cannot be understated. Erkin Koray is unequivocally considered the father of popular Turisk rock and impetus for increased sonic adventurousness in the burgeoning Anatolian garage scene. However, it wasn't until the early 70s when Koray was finally afforded the opportunity to record [...]

Μια από τις καλύτερες στιγμές του 2010 ήταν η κυκλοφορία a sufi and a killer του gonza sufi από την warp . Από πέρσι τέτοιον καιρό σαν την Αλίκη στη χώρα των θαυμάτων ακολούθησα κάποιες σειρήνες χωρίς να δώσω και ιδιαίτερη σημασία στα επί μέρους συστατικά που έκαναν το χαρμάνι του περίεργου αυτού πλάσματος τόσο γοητευτικό, εξωτικό και φευγάτο. Άκουγα Ινδιάνους, Τούρκους και ένας θεός ξέρει τι ακόμα , αλλά δεν στάθηκα στην ανάλυση των ήχων. Δεν είμαι και μουσικός degustateur...Απλός ακροατής είμαι. Μέσα στον ωκεανό της sampledelia που κολυμπάμε τα [...]
Aujourd'hui sort officiellement l'album de remixes de Gonjasufi The Caliph's Tea Party . Alors que des artistes comme Bibio ou Shlohmo redonnent un nouveau goût aux morceaux de Gonja, Le Mellotron a décidé de continuer son enquête et de décortiquer un nouveau titre de A Sufi And A Killer . Après s'être penché sur le sample quasi-entier de "Kowboyz&Indians", nous voilà devant la source de "I've Given", un autre titre tout aussi mystique, emprunté à Erkin Koray . Si Las Grecas étaient les premières à faire [...]
Geçen gün Hype Machine 'den müzik dinlerken, çok ilginç bir parçayla karşılaştım: tek albümünü 1968'de çıkarmış olan The Savage Resurrection adlı bir gruba ait. Psychedelic 'in -o senelerde buralarda da harıl harıl üretilmekte olan- yerel harmanlarına benziyor bu parçaları. Zaten blog yazarının böyle bir ilgisi olduğu aşikar, daha önceki bir yazısında da Erkin Koray ve Selda'dan bahsetmiş. Ben de kendi seçtiğim bir Erkin Baba şarkısını iliştireyim. Bir de 1967-68 Altın Mikrofon kayıtlarındaki Ağıt'ı. The Savage Resurrection - Tahitian Melody Erkin [...]
As the influence of psychedelia crept into the music scene it seemed that every two-bit band was mining the east for sounds to make their music seem more exotic. However it was the reverse influence that sometimes seems to have produced the best results; as the western music crept into the east, mixing with local folk traditions to produce some extraordinary results. Erkin Koray - Elektronik Türküler Koray is sometimes referred to as the father of [...]
