Bunalim - s/t, 1970-1972 (Shadoks, 2007)...
The name Bunalim apparently means either Depression or Frustration in Turkish, fitting for a band hailing from a city, Istanbul, who defining mood is melancholy (according to Nobel Prize winning novelist Orhan Pamuk). You can hear both the energy of frustration and the sadness of depression in their music, which consists of blistering, Iron-Butterfly-heavy hard rockers mixed up with the style of traditional Anatolian folk dances and songs. Ballsy bombast and beautiful balladry both.-AQ

ReplyDeleteI suppose bozkurt would like to ethnically cleanse Pamuk? I guess it just goes to show that interesting tastes in music don't always mean an open mind in general.

ReplyDeleteThis is a sweet blog. Thanks for you efforts.

Orhan Pamuk is One of Turkey's most prominent novelists, I have read two of his novelsThe White Castle and The Black Book,), I think that his thematic is really important to pay attention!
