Zen - Tanbul (1997)



Heavy influences of Turkish psychedelia, eastern folk, and rock, this record truly must be heard to be believed. Utilizing traditional Turkish instruments along with samplers, electric guitars and alien sounding vocals, Tanbul stands out as an exemplary achievement of psych-rock that is entirely original.

The Band:
Merih Oztaylan - Vocals, sampler
Levent Akman - Rhythm machines, hand cymbals, percussion
Bill Macbeath - Double bass, bass guitar
Murat Ertel - Saz (not sax), guitar, vocals
Emre Onel - Darbuka, sampler, percussions
Cevdet Erek - Drums
