"The veteran Turkish heads who act as a link between Erkin Koray, Can and
Mad Professor" -- MOJONearly 30 years since their inception, the
legendary Istanbul band Baba Zula remains the most experimental
exponent of contemporary Turkish psych-rock; the sonic trailblazers of
theinternationally revered Turkish psychedelic scene that includes Altin
Gun, Gaye Su Akyol, Lalalar andDerya Yildirim & Grup Simsek
Baba Zula's shapeshifting, mind expanding music has brought them fans from all
over the world, as well as visionary collaborators like dubmaster Mad Professor,
drummer Jaki Liebezeit of Can and bassist Alexander Hacke of Einsturzende
Neubauten (amongst many others).
Their new albumIstanbul Sokaklari (Streets of Istanbul) is akaleidoscopicmusical
homage to the atmospheres and mysteries of their hometown. The record plays
like a classic concept album, unfolding through a mixture of short ambient
instrumentals, and pulsing, hypnotic long trackspowered by Turkish percussion,
glitched electronics, deep bass, electric saz and Murat and Esma Ertel's dual
vocals. It is a vividand compelling album from a band that continues to show us
the future.
