The Jimi Hendrix of Turkey? That may well be the case with the legendary Erkin Koray - a musician who may not have had the pure chops of Hendrix, but who definitely helped transform the guitar sound of an entire generation! Erkin's got this massively wicked groove - rooted in years of Turkish tradition, yet electrified too - and often laid out over rhythms that are hypnotic and exotic - a perfect fit for the tripped-out production of the tunes! This excellent double-length collection brings together material from rare singles and albums by Koray - and really stands as a perfect introduction to one of the coolest cats in the Near East during the 70s - music that really defies description, not to mention the boundaries of language and nation as well.
