Just the other day I became facebook friends with the co-writer of the only Erkin Koray biography. His name is Gokhan Aya. I'm looking forward to reading some excerpts especially anything about the mid seventies albums Electronic Turkuler, and Turkusu.
Gokhan told me that Erkin Koray wrote an autobiography, but it really ended up as a series of opinions about the Turkey and the world.
I gave Gokhan a link to the Austrlian band from Perth called Tame Impala who are spearheading the psych rock revival in OZ.
Erkin Koray is the hardest rocking of all the East rockers. Tracks like Inat and Bir Osilik are equal to anything produced in British or American psycheldelic rock. Erkins over-driven fuzzy tone never fails to excite.
