Quote:
Balearic folktronica meets percussion genius on a unique one-take recording that finds Turkish downtempo specialist Islandman in triple conference with legendary percussion innovator Okay Temiz, and contemporary saz virtuoso Muhlis Berberoğlu. These recordings were also made using the “direct-to-disc” method, in which the improvised jams are recorded directly onto tape. And despite being recorded, the “Direct-To-Disc Sessions” have an extremely direct and intimate live feel. It is the great art of live performance that we are privileged to witness here. In essence, this is the soul of the Turkish musical tradition to this day.
Nine-and-a-half-minutes long, "Fídaya" is easily the set's finest moment. It weds Arabic maqam, Mevlevi dance traditions, organic and synthetic beats, and swirling sonics.
