DJ Dr Captain Ahab, Esq. Jr.! Hello!

Anatolian Hour(s)❣️

Turkish blend

Hola Doctor, and chat regulars

That last one sounded like a Quicksilver Messenger Service song(can't remember the name). Love when these "taste" like things on the tip of consciousness but filtered through another cultures ears.

Hey everybody, how's it kicking

hookah runnin HOT

Tanıştığımıza memnun oldum!

haha ben de memnun oldum :)

Hey Cap'n!

hey Tandy!

I'm so thankful that you're playing this music to distract me from the winter wasteland that is the New Jersey roads today

Anatol YA!

Dr Captain! yay!

The Stache Rock Stash tin has been opened

Ooo this one. Love it

Congrats on your PHD Doctor Ahab! Listening since 2013

Oh wow super longtime fan!

My wife is remembering all her belly dance class moves!

She said that one (Lambaya...) reminded her of the belly dance music mixed with a little of The Munsters

haha excellent

I remember hearing this one b4. Excellent. Reminds me of one of the Selda songs as well

🌿😶‍🌫️

This might sync well with Wizard of Oz...

This one. Ya.

This is something prog...I could almost mistake the drummer for Bruford.

so not something

Is this the New Abnormal...it can't be Desert Cruising

lol

Man this set is crushing it rn

God I wish I had this guy's hair

What up Tropiano

Hey C!

Wearing another PRB shirt?

Doc Cap, do you listen to much anglo-prog?

mmm whatever occasionally ends up under the broader doom umbrella

Has the drummer been the same on the Edip Akbayram songs? Whoever it was shows Bruford's fingerprints.

There's only so much time...I wish I had more time to spend on leisurely interests as opposed to vocational things.

I don't the drummer was the same throughout, different names coming up on the credits

*don't think

Hello, just woke up from a post snow-shoveling nap

Kept hearing "you do you"

hey Rob!

@ Captain Ahab (host) I'm joyous that Anatolian Hour greets us in the New Year! Thanks for the Erlin Loray plays, he's a favorite of mine among the many great talents to which you've introduced us.

If one is mixing Turkish folk with euro-prog, of course Bruford's seminal presence will have some influence.

So anyone know what the english speaking song originally had this na - na - na - na chorus?

In land of 1000 dances?

Some paint it black sounding notes at the beginning

SOme claim Paint It Black was inspired by Erkin Koray's Bir Eylül Akşamı which came out earlier

Mick Jagger: "[Aftermath] has a very wide spectrum of music styles: “Paint It, Black” was this kind of Turkish song; and there were also very bluesy things like “Goin’ Home”; and I remember some sort of ballads on there. It had a lot of good songs, it had a lot of different styles, and it was very well recorded. So it was, to my mind, a real marker."
