The Turkishrock scene began in the mid- to late 1960s, when popular United States and United Kingdom bands became well-known. Soon, Turkish performers like Mogollar created a distinctively Turkish fusion of rock and folk; this was called Anatolian rock, a term which now generically describes most any kind of Turkish rock.
From 1966 to about 1975, psychedelic rock was very popular in Turkey. After that, more progressive-styled bands became popular, with older performers like Cem Karaca (Safinaz, 1978) and Mogollar (Düm-tek) moving towards prog.
Rock & Soul Music has a little too much crowd noise; it might be live; the other selections don't appear to be live.
Although the music and the lyrics, at times, are not very complicated and do not seem to be very substantial, they are brilliantly written to enhance the values that Donovan stood for.
This is a nice collection of hard-to-find Turkishrock from the heyday of their psychedelic scene.
