Terry Snyder & The All Stars - Persuasive Percussion (USA, 1965)

2006-03-28T23:20:00.000+03:00

Finally, I'm back with a new post! Sorry for the delay....This time I have one of the greatest records of the Enoch Light productions. Terry Snyder and his orchestra The All Stars are featuring talented musicians of that time like Dick Hyman and Tony Mottola. The cover of the original print was designed by the famous painter and designer Josef Albers but the LP had been printed in Turkey with a different cover (which I'm presenting for you). So sit back and relax and enjoy the passionate sound of the exotic and PERSUASIVE PERCUSSION!

Factor - Factor (Bulgaria, ?)

2006-03-08T14:20:00.000+02:00

I bought this LP yesterday from flea market. I don't know much about the band "Factor" except that they are a great Bulgarian folk-rock band. My little research in internet had brought me not a lot of information. I just learned that Factor had released a "best of" compilation a short time ago. Check it out if you want to listen some music which sounds similar to Levellers but also with fat basslines, Balkans style violins and the vocals like Robert Plant sometimes.

OST - Maine Pyar Kiya (India, 1989)

2006-03-04T00:39:00.000+02:00

I think the terms like "kitschy", "corny" or "cheesy" are incapable to describe the sound of Bollywood movies sometimes. We can not ignore that Bollywood music has a strong ability to mix the traditional elements of Indian music with the dynamics of the Western music. A lot of different sounds, from country to rock'n roll, from funk to jazz, can take part in a Bollywood soundtrack, but always with a little touch of traditional instruments like sitar, sarangi or tabla.
This LP is a good example to show Bollywood's power of interpretation. "Mere Rang Mein Rangne Wali" (Track 4) is the most bizarre version of Europe's hit "Final Countdown" and "Aate Jaate Hanste Gaate" (Track 10) is the Bollywood version of Stevie Wonder's "I Just Call To Say I Love You". All lyrics by Asad Bhopali & Dev Kohli and all musics by Raamlaxman. Get up and dance! Enjoy!

Hell Preachers Inc. - Supreme Psychedelic Underground (USA, 1968)

2006-02-28T20:57:00.000+02:00

A very rare record from 1968. Hell Preachers seems to me like a band which is formed just for this project. They don't have any recording except this LP. But also there are some rumours around which say that the whole album has been recorded by Deep Purple (band members: Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Paice, Jon Lord) ; but it's just a rumour, so I'm not sure. And I didn't know anything else about this magnificient psychedelic album...The music is great, that's certain! Enjoy!

Erkin Koray - Elektronik Turkuler (Turkey, 1974)

2006-02-24T01:04:00.000+02:00

One of my favourite records...The best album of the turkish progressive rock pioneer Erkin Koray...I will always see him as a soul brother of Frank Zappa. He's still alive and still weird.
