Are ebay descriptions taking over the record review lexicon?
Wow.

That is comically backwards logic.

I am certain I saw a copy on ebay oh 6-ish months ago. Perhaps the same copy used for the reissue. Not a fake.

Yeah thematic migration of interest has left me dry lately too.

Altho you can't beat the prices on the non-flavour du jour records!

Don't believe the hype, folks; this record is tepid library-style funk at best.

Well ... to each their own, I guess. Not saying its the best thing out there, but its rare to find an album with such a heavy concentration of b-boy friendly conga/drum breaks in every song.

But, yeah, it does have a "library" feel so you can't really talk about it having "great" songs ... they are repetitive rhythm section workouts with melodies that are less than memorable. Dunno ... not earth shattering but I wouldn't call it tepid.

Egon has called it "...like Madlib jamming with KPM all stars in 1972 conducted by Arif Marden inside of a huge Hookah packed by Crazy Legs and uh, Madlib...foreign funk genius on a plateau we will never truly understand or appreciate for generations".

It would be interesting to learn more about the players, the scene/atmosphere. Those are some heavy heavy drums ... wonder what a live performance was like. Were people in the crowd going absolutely buck wild? (Or was this just a studio project?)

Sounds like a job one of the Wax Poetics writers ... maybe Egon.

it alright. I seem to remember a Mustafa Ozkent LP going for 500 on the bay a few years ago to jazzman i think. I don't know if it was this one or not.

llmod1

It was thsi one that Jazzman bought, I know because it was he and I bidding on it!

This LP is seriously good (imo)

my gf and i have a friend from turkey staying with us until the end of the week. i keep asking her about all types of turkish music with western influences. people like baris manco and albums like the trt ara muzikleri (basically a turkish library lp). instruments like the ney (flute like) and the saz (guitar/ sitar like). i also keep asking her to help my dumb american ass with lyric translation. the title of the mustafa ozkent lp is hand in hand with the youth... if anyone was wondering.

HI
