Altin Gün

I generally spend my lunch break on Fridays over at Waterloo Records checking out new releases, sifting through the used LPs, and then inevitably leaving with a stack of vinyl in tow.  Yesterday, on a whim, a purchased the "Gece" LP from Dutch band Altin Gün.  The 6-piece act utilizes elements of world pop, funk, disco, psych rock, prog, and folk to sound like some kind of long lost underground Turkish band that record collectors in the know scour the ends of the earth for.  It sounds of the past, but is so electrifying in its fusion of groove, that it's really hard to ignore, or at the very least to tap a foot to.  Anyway, this is the best Turkish psych-funk-folk record made by a band from Netherlands that i've ever heard.  Check out the album closing "Süpürgesi Yoncadan" below and order the record here via ATO.

I totally made the right decision buying this yesterday.  Yay me!
