Morphine
- Cure for Pain, Candy

I stumbled across their "Yes" album at the store when I was in university. They are hardly known around here but still seeing their CDs in a music store in Turkey is something big. Lol Had a chance to preview "Cure for Pain" and "Like Swimming" afterwards and I liked what I have heard so far. Funnily enough, I thought they were British.

These guys are from my hometown. They are doing some experimental folk music in both Turkish and Laz language. I am not sure how would they sound to you but I love them a lot. Kazim Koyuncu passed away of cancer couple years ago. :-(

I know! I'm just surprised that they're still together. They were out when I was a teenager & I'm 40 now. I never pictured them to be going the way of the Rolling Stones & performing into their golden years (not that the 40s is considered golden years -- at least I hope not!!!).

Thanks for the tips! How sad about Kazim Koyuncu. Ironically, Mark Sandman, the lead singer of Morphine, also died about 7 or 8 years ago. He died on stage, I believe of a heart ailment that had been undiagnosed. So sad.

Gelevera is a gorgeous duet. I think I will multiply his CDs when I am back in Istanbul. I have been thinking to send you some of his stuff actually but couldn't make sure if you'd bother to listen.

Ughh, that is so sad indeed. Terrible and terrific way of waving goodbye to fans. Oh my!

My pleasure!

Not so sure of Fuat Saka but yeah i'd definitely like to hear more or Kazim Koyuncu!
Really like that style of music actually

The instruments remind me a little of Junoon.

Kazim Koyuncu is my favorite between them as well. He has MUCH better tracks in the albums. With a few more different instuments too. Never thought he sounds like Junoon though. Maybe it is the "east" feel make you think that.

I am off to bed! Night you all.

Los Campesinos! www.myspace.com/loscampesinos

I don't want to like them because of what some of their members did to me and my friend before they formed this band, but they're really good. If a little immature as people.

New Rhodes are sort of local www.myspace.com/newrhodes and I love them to pieces. James is one of the greatest tunesmiths of our generation.
