Hello Everyone!
 

i am really bad at introducing myself actually but i wanna give it a try.

i'm a 23 year old music geek from Istanbul.
i have been interested in music ever since i was a little kid because i grew up in a really music involved family.

i have been reading and following some threads here on music banter since high-school and i finally wanted to join as a member 2 days ago.

i don't have a specific 'favourite genre'. i don't like to limit myself. if it stays on the weird, dark and/or depressive side of the music and the quality is good, i am in.

i guess, that's all.

Oh he is amazing. I would suggest you to listen 'Meçhul: Singles & Rarities'.
It is an amazing compilation released back in 2012 and it is also great for a starter into Koray's music.

Oh shit, someone with a Fantastic Planet avatar! ₩elcome!

Hello and welcome to Music Banter.

I discovered Erkin Koray through John Peel. He was a British radio DJ and was famous for getting bands noticed, and his live studio program the John Peel Sessions. Anyway he mentioned the album Elektronik Türküler (1975) so I gave it a listen "and the music is really rather good." just like he said. I heard a few songs by 3 Hür-El but not a whole album. One of my favorite changes in a song is after the verse/chorus in Sevenler Ağlarmış when he switches over to his electric saz! I am also a fan of She Past Away. They are a perfect blend of Post Punk and Goth.

Let me welcome you with the only turkish phrase I know: Çok güzel memelerin var.

Hope you'll stick around, you seem to have good taste.

haha, like... how? and why? oh boy.
thank you, i feel very welcomed!

spacerman!

Hey, I think you did a great job introducing yourself and I even learned a few things. I'm brand new here, too, and just registered. Nice to meet you!

Cheers!

Thanks! Good to know someone who joined here the same time as me :)
