Hamhock's International Time Machine liked Mr. Koray so much it dug up another Turkish solo-guitar gem from neighboring 1973.
If Erkin Koray was the first Turk to rock Mustafa Özkent was among the first wave of guitar explorers to say "amına koyim" and let American sensibilities inflect his traditional tutelage. Özkent had a custom guitar with extra frets to blend distinctly anatolian melodies with psychedelic song structures, backed up by a driving and exceptionally dynamic rhythm section.
