As far as funky turkish psych goes, this is as far as it goes - to the other, far end of the spectrum. Surprisingly listenable for an album consisting entirely of lenghty apologies to why the keyboardist haven't yet learned to play his instrument, this unexpected hit record is the brain-child of Anatolian star producer and enfant terrible Hözte Ergüynaman, who had been dreaming of exploding the boundaries of recorded music since his childhood as a goat herder on the Anatolian Plateau. When he met Paytele "Paye" Peyman at a studio session for a Bariş Manço record, aborted because Paye obviously had no knowledge of the instrument he wad hired to play, he booked a recording studio immediately and the rest is history. This reissue box-set of "Tha'rihe Rayote Thal Navd" (Mother, how I ended up here I have no idea) contains two extra disc of outtakes that cast new light on the stressful sessions and a PAYE PAYE beanie. 5/5, truly essential.
