Robert Bloemkolk It's Turkish & that is probably why it's never up there in those lists of best psychedelic albums ever. But it belongs there. So wrap your ears around this gem. Favorite track: Ince Ince Bir Kar Yagar.

ant4gonist Probably the best record in the world. Favorite track: Anam Aglar Baş Ucumda Oturur.

about

Edip Akbayram self titled album, featured Dönüşüm and his own band Dostlar, 1974.
When this album was around his was one of the best Turkish psychedelic bands in Turkey.
A guitar player quite into different fuzz pedals, using these pedals for different sound effects, sometimes 1 minute intro session with the bassist..
A competent bass player who did most of the arrangements, fantastic saz player who doubled on electric saz and wah guitar and great drummer..
As you will hear the tunes are just fantastic...
One of the most underrated albums of Eurasian psych..
Musically speaking, this is essential listening.
A wild blend of Turkish themes with progressive, psychedelic and even deep funk styles, with some excellent grooves for DJs as well. Some mind-blowing instrumental moments with fuzz guitar and boucing bass, not to mention Edip's unique dark catching voice..

Edip Akbayram’s a frail guy who spent his childhood unable to walk, but once he grew up he was on Istanbul TV in a whitey-fro and knee length colored robes. Akbayram’s voice is big & open, and it took him all across Turkey at the height of Anatolian psychedelia.
This 1st album collects precious singles from 1972-74, with dark melodies that descend in loose spirals, seemingly forever. Tunes taken from mystic Sufi poets who played Turkish instrument baglama, but retrofitted with hard plowing electric bass lines, funky drums, fuzz-wah guitars and keyboards.

Album is also in Hans Pokora "Record Collector Dreams" book.

Oh how I long for this album in vinyl format! Such smoothness. Such warmth. Such execution. This music begs to be taken along and woven into memories. Everyone I’ve shared this album with has loved it. The music speaks far and wide. Shouting out to a fellow follower, Brian Lehmann, for his excellent taste in music. If not for him, I likely would have never stumbled upon this absolute gem! Plinchmo Larduktin
