Also, a plug for the wonderful Sounds Of Champaign (Side 2), where I got Danses et Rythmes de la Turquie. It's an LP by Mogollar, who are well represented on the compilations of turkish 60's psychedelia (Hava Narghile, Altyn Microfon, 26 Turkish Delights and a few others). I have no info on this LP, but looks like it was recorded specifically for the french market. The band name is frenchified from Mogollar into Les Mogol. The "folk music" factor is turned up with more prominent traditional instrumentation (saz, duduk etc.), and the freak factor turned down somewhat. However, the result is no less engaging than their own mega-psychedelic records for the turks. Some of it reminds me of mugam-jazz of the great azerbaijani pianist Vaquif Mustafa-Zadeh or perhaps Coltrane's ethno-modal explorations.

ReplyDeleteIt's reupped.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Thanks for this. Although I feel like this music is sometimes written off by Turks themselves as inferior to the Western bands who they were influenced by, listening a couple times through these posted songs I feel like it is clear that this was not the case. They possess a unique and beautiful voice both unique to Turkey, and the era in which they were produced.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that perception depends on the context. The original LPs probably had some songs inspired by turkish trad music and some second-rate Deep Purple rip-offs. So, for turks who grew up with the turkish folk, the rock-n-roll stuff was more interesting, and as more of the originals started coming in, those songs lost value. OTOH, compilations like these are intended for us "westerners" and focus on the aspects of the music that the original audiences may not have appreciated [as much].
ReplyDeleteSo, just like the Nuggets compilation is supposed to have retrospectively created a garage-rock style, same way these compilations and reissues create value in the songs that may not originally been appreciated for that.
Can you re-up -- both are gone. You wouldn't have them in a higher bit rate by any chance would you?
