damn it!!! you beat me to i the punch. i'm working on a turkish/lebanese/egyptian/ethiopian mix right now. what would you call that?? i dare not reffer to it as the "orient". anyways... good stuff, maygne.
I found a couple things in Kroitsburg (SP?) when i was there. nothing too special.
Baris Manco was putting out records well into the 90s. He died rather recently, if i'm not mistaken. Even some of his later stuff is pretty good.
That dude Andy Votel pretty much holds the crown for Turkish facemelters. I saw him dj about 2 months ago and only recognized a few records.
btw, regarding Turkish music there is an excellent film by Fatih Akin called "Crossing the Bridge - the sound of Istanbul" It??s partly in German only, but it really catches the diversity of music in the city and the amazing city itself. Recommended!

I prefer Arap Saci but loads of people dig Timbili
BARIS MANCO gon??l dagi 45 (on that trap door mix i read somewhere)
BARIS MANCO lambaya p??f de! / kalk gidelim k??heylan 45 BARIS MANCO ??l??m allahin emri 45 BARIS MANCO ben bilirim / 2023 45
that is for me the four essential Baris 45s, there are some more that are nice but not in the same class and maybe Iste Hendek, Iste Teve as a runner up.

someone just put a cassette tape called "Batsin Bu Dunya" by Orhan Gencebay in my mailbox at the radio station where I do a show. no note, just a mysterious turkish tape. I stated listening and it seems to have some definite redeeming value - at least worth digitizing. I've only listened to a few tracks, but it definitely sounds 70's (man with disco fever collar on cover would attest) and has some heavy drums. I'll post highlights when I get around to recording it. but this wah wah darbuka combo is
Interesting stuff. It seems like the type of stuff that will grow on me. Hey, I noticed that "Istanbul" song that rjd2 sampled from. Thanks for sharing that!
TURKISH MUSIC SUCKS.... BAD BAD BAD MUSIC!!! Like most Polish stuff... OVERRATED!!! Get back to Jazz people!
I don't want to know what those Turkish men are singing... there's better Turkish music... and better music in general...
Turkey is hit or miss for me. I like the first Erkin Koray lp, 3 El Hur, or even some of the Cem Karaca stuff. Also, the Bunalim lp Shadoks put out has some pretty decent moments. I will admit however that many of the Turkish lp's didn't grow on me although I can see the appeal for collectors. Edip Akbayram's stuff at times sounds like it came from a 70's OST, but overall the lp's just didn't have the consistancy I would have hoped for. I could understand why people would be looking for his music however. Nice mix btw to the original poster.
