Insane grooves from arranger Mustafa Ozkent -- an artist who was to Turkey what Lalo Schifrin was to the US in the 70s! Like Lalo, Mustafa had a great ear for mixing funkier rhythms and fuller orchestrations -- often with odd instrumental twists and turns that bubble over with a fair bit of electricity over heavy percussion -- kind of in an Incredible Bongo Band way, but with some moogier touches overall! The record's an instrumental masterpiece through and through -- filled with enough heavy breaks to satisfy even the pickiest crate-digger, but also the more complicated arrangements to appeal to fans of funky 70s soundtracks! Titles include "Uskudar", "Burcak", "Dolana", "Carsamba", "Lorke", "Ayas", "Emmioglu", and "Karadir". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
