[Closed] B1974 1C: Elektronik Türküler v. Heart Sat. Night

Listmeister · 2014-07-27T19:38:13-04:00

From the far off land of Turkey (unless your actually in Turkey, in which case it's not a far off land, it's right there) land of exotic enchantment and mystery (unless you live there, in which case it's just familiar and not at all exotic)... you know what, I'm just going to start over. From the land of Turkey comes a genre that I had never heard about before, called Anatolian Rock, a fusion of the Turkish folk music, Turkish pop, and the psychedelic music coming out of the late 1960's. Erkin Koray was a pioneer this genre. In 1974 he released his first real album, called Elektronik Türküler. He had been recording since the late 1950's, but his output had all been 45 rpm singles up to this point. Collected in 1973's album bearing his name, he followed up with an album designed for the LP Format. Elektronik Türküler by Erkin Koray Tom Waits needs no introduction. His gravelly voice and distinctive songwriting made him stand out in the era of the singer-songwriter. You may have heard his first album, Closing Time, from the Best Debut Albums tournament last year. His sophomore offering is called The Heart of Saturday Night.
