nem kaldi?

Cem Karaca announces his intent to slay all enemies of Istanbul's leftist counterculture with stomping prog keyboards. Sophisticated & passionate, with flamboyant taste in sunglasses, Cem Karaca led Istanbul's music fans through a period of violent political turmoil. Karaca reworked traditional folk lyrics with molten electric bass lines that played up both a poet's broiling righteousness and also his listeners' common ground with their elders in Turkey's history.

Nem Kaldi? gathers more 60s-70s singles that lead the listener through Karaca's own musical history, skipping across various collaborations.

Sink deeper into the intrigue both musical & otherwise as fractious personnel changes & real-life assassins multiply, yet the double-time drums & badass synthesizer schwings pound on.
