Uzay Turizm - Turkish Space Journey (1974) [Full Album]

In the early 1970s, a revolutionary fictional band emerged in Turkey's music scene: UZAY TURIZM. With their first album, Turkish Space Journey released in 1974, they began a unique journey in the music world by combining innovative styles such as krautrock, Anatolian rock and space rock. The band's musical approach was shaped by a vision that aimed to carry the influences of modern and traditional Turkish music to the space age.

Musical Styles:
UZAY TURIZM's music is based on an understanding that blends the minimalist and repetitive structure of krautrock with the influences of Turkish music. His music is shaped around the following elements:

-Experimental, free and expansive structures of Krautrock and space rock
-Strong melodic lines of Anatolian rock and Turkish folk music influences
-Hypnotic and organic rhythms, mystical textures that go deep into Turkish melodies
-Use of traditional instruments such as Turkish saz, bağlama, davul and ney in a modern atmosphere
-Space-themed sounds enriched with psychedelic influences and ambient textures, cinematic soundscapes
-Groove structure blended with Turkish funk, complex rhythmic structures, improvisation and post-rock influences

The minimalist and repetitive structure in his music also creates a hypnotic atmosphere. Analog warmth and ethnic textures bring together the space age and the deep cultural heritage of Anatolia. Rhythmic complexity, improvisational elements and a spiritual depth put UZAY TURIZM’s music into a trance.

Turkish Space Journey (1974):
The band's debut album, Turkish Space Journey, received great attention both in Turkey and Europe. During this period when Krautrock was becoming popular in Germany, UZAY TURIZM took inspiration from its own roots and blended the space age with the melodic and rhythmic richness of Anatolia. The album presented Turkish folk music and jazz influences against a space-themed backdrop, providing listeners with a unique musical experience. Traditional instruments such as saz and ney intertwined with space sounds, creating a unique sound that reflected both nature and technology. Drums and percussion created a dynamic and hypnotic atmosphere, contributing to the birth of an avant-garde and eclectic style.

Influences and Legacy:
UZAY TURIZM is considered one of the important bands not only in Turkey but also in the world music scene. By capturing a universal sound with the Turkish motifs they included in their music, they managed to carry Western-centered genres such as krautrock and space rock into the depths of Anatolia. Especially the hypnotic grooves, minimalistic structure and improvisational elements enabled the band's music to mature further over time.
