Product Description
CD Description
Last summer, Bouzouki Joe Records revealed a choice selection of some of the finest rare Turkish funk and psych-rock grooves, painstakingly unearthed direct from the source in Istanbul, with the result, in a good way, that a lot of folks freaked out. With that in mind, the second volume of Turkish Freakout! features another batch of classic tracks from the Golden Age of Turkish music. With spiritual guidance from archivist Mister Jason, this compilation, comprised entirely of original 7 recordings from Turkey s most creative and experimental artists, is guaranteed to deliver another five-star freak-out. Artwork includes many reproductions of original sleeves, plus extensive liner notes.

The follow up to last year's Turkish Freakout: Psych-Folk Singles 1969-1980, this second volume is as equally tripped out and reminds the listener that there is nothing, absolutely nothing, comparable to the sounds coming out of Istanbul and Anatolia during the 1970s. The innovation, imagination, production and musicianship on display is extraordinary. From the opening drum break on Baris Manço's 'Mozart' and the reverb drenched bridge on Ozel Turkbas Orchestra's 'Ozel's Dance Routine' (lifted from a bellydance album), this is indeed a freakout.
Sourced from original vinyl releases, the music here is a fusion of traditional Turkish music and psychedelia, funk, folk, rock and pop. Featuring plenty of electric and acoustic saz, heavy bass, Turkish clarinets, fuzz guitar, assorted electronic and Middle East string and woodwind instruments and some mind-blowing percussion, the music is fearless and the songs do not always follow a verse-chorus-verse structure. The arrangements are nearly always complex and there are plenty of unexpected chord changes but, regardless, all the songs flow perfectly. And that curious Turkish / Middle Eastern vocal delivery adds an otherworldly element to the overall sound, particularly on the female vocals.
For aficionados of 1970's Turkish music this is essential listening and as good a place as any to start for newcomers. The CD is housed in a digipak containing an informative colour booklet that details all the tracks and artists and includes photos of the original vinyl sleeves. Playing time is 62 minutes and the overall sound quality is very good.

I have this, enjoy the instrumental first piece and rest of the music. I bought it after hearing the samples on the radio. I will keep this in mind as a gift for people who have been to Turkey or have a like for the region. It arrived very fast too.
