Metin Alatli – Lorke {1975}
“Metin Alatlı a former member of 60s Turkish rock’n’roll band Siluetler made this moog record in the 70s, covering songs ranging from traditional Anatolian to classical Turkish and even fusing them together in crazy medleys. The album may seem too kitsch or even silly for people who are not into moog, but if you do, there is a nice cultural transformation in it for you. Moreover, Turkish listeners will probably sense the retro Turkish movie sound throughout the album. This is no surprise, since Alatli was a frequent composer for Turkish movie scores and probably one of the people responsible for creating that certain sound.”
