Fascinating set of album covers on your blog.

Happy holidays to you.

Mmmm! Tasty! That Sans Cocugu by Cem and Apaslar (Apsalar?) still haunts as a wild ride thru' the Turkmen's mind. Hail Edip, too! Ever onward o' mighty Traveler!

Oh my, this is, well, fucking brilliant!

You know I love that cover and I'm sure you probably know that I'll seriously love the mix when I download it/listen to it.Happy holidays to you, Ms. Orchid. And yes, I owe you an e-mail....

Thanks for the warning about shopping for records in Istanbul (Not Constantinople). But why even go when I have all the music I can handle right here? Looks like some pretty interesting stuff, and if you would have accidentally reversed the artist and song names, I never would have noticed!

Now, the fact that I managed to download this on my humble PC filled me with much joy. I shall enjoy this Christmas Turkey, thankyou...

Happy Holidays Family Orchid

I discovered these Turkish sounds just this year. Looking forward to expanding my mind once more thanks to you.

dunno a thing here but i'm excited to get acquainted - thanks for the link!

You never fail to educate. Pre-listen, I have very little of an idea about what to expect from this one musically, but I have a hunch that it's going to be great.

Wow is all I can say 'cause that's all I say when I don't know nothin'. Wow. (Scurries off in search of enlightenment.)

I'm sure this is great, as always. Happy holidays!

I, literally, reacted with "OOOOOHHHH!!!!!" when I say you'd posted a new mix. Ahh, this holidays deliver the delights, once more. And, I LOVE this!!!!!!!! !!!!

And, your photos are absolutely stunning. If you would be willing, I'd love to know how you captured those images (camera, settings, lens...?) Simply stunning.

I bet there isn't a turkey here. Must investigate.

Marvellous stuff - LOVE 'Hadi Canim Sen De' - how catchy! what marvellous pings and pongs!
Anyhoo, a very happy Xmas season to you.

Wonderful goldmine, Orchid. Happy Holidays and thanks for sharing!

I'm not a certified scuba-diver, yet I feel as if I've just discovered a sunken treasure! [not that your mix sounds sunken or anything.] Orchid, this is amazing, and a wonderful x-mas gift to all, and to all a good night. Cem Karaca & Apaslar sure is groovy, and the Riza Pekkutsal made me laugh my ass off [well, I assume that's what happened. when the track ended, I noticed my ass was gone]. the Kuzenler song is real pretty. Other favorites are at #s 4,22,15,10,8,6,7,2,13,19, 20... though I think my favorite is the Salim Dundar classic, "Canim Sevgililm." [my mother used to sing that to me as she rocked me to sleep.] I loved looking over the album covers as each of the tracks played; It looks like Kuzenler is about to perform on The Gong Show! lots of work went into making this and all the album art available for us to hear and see; I sure do appreciate it. Happy Holidays!

This is a superb piece of work, and a great story of discovery. Some stunning, if occassionally scary, album covers too.Thanks so much for this; music that I would've never been aware of, let alone heard, had it not been for your dedication :)
