Turkish Psychedelic Music Review

Thanks to GLK and Tagir, couple of years ago, I found out the obscure movement in mid-70. There was a hard times for turkish youth, but they weren't completely upset, they chord western psymusic and traditional sound. I ain't gonna write about massive turk psy history, but I chose a number of songwriters and bands of that period and present 'em. You'd better start with Susana's Podcasts, it'll be useful for you to understand how it sounds. This's Rare Frequency Podcasts by Susanna: RFP №7 and RFP №23 (both in one folder are also available below). Going through the post, you will see several official compilations and DIY made by my friend Ilya. He collected more than 60 songs, but in lo-fi. The real problem is to get more artists, best hi-quality and more information, so what you have to do is just grab what you see. I think that his unnamed and untitled compilation is the greatest one.
This short review is a proem of your journey to the psychedelia trip of Istanbul.
