Manga - Şehr-i Hüzün Reviewed by Sadie O., 8/26/09 Metal/hip hop/orchestral-cinematic mashup from Turkey. This second release seems to have a lot more orchestral-cinematic (and shoegaze) and less Turkitude than their first (in our World collection) – possibly because it’s on Sony? They seem to have also added keyboards, which tend to be a bit less unique sounding than their previous hardcore scratch ‘n’ sniff. Still some brilliant moments. All in Turkish. I like tracks 5, 13, and esp. 9 best. 1. Gün Doğumu (goon doe’ummu) 1:55 melodramatic, low-key piano, flute, big chords toward end. 2. Beni Benimle Bırak (benny bennimleh buhrak) 3:30 **a bit orchestral, a bit metalish, a little scratching, midtempo swingy groove, pretty singing. 3. Dünyanın Sonuna Doğmuşum (doonyanun sonuna doe’mushum) 4:20 ***groovy little Atari noises and beats, hip hop vocals. 4. Cevapsız Sorular (sevapsiz sorular) 4:32 rather depressed piano line, pretty singing, a bit of atmospherics. 5. Evdeki Ses (evdeki ses) 3:06 ****cinematic opening chord, then funky metal hip hop (cover of a big Turkish hip hop hit from years ago.) 6. Her Aşk Ölümü Tadacak (herr ashk oiloomoo tadacak) 3:43 **bit of keyboard, then kind of loping hard rock, pretty singing. 7. Şehr-i Hüzün (sehr-uh hoozoon) 1:03 **chimes and mystery, exotic orchestra and piano. Foreboding instrumental interlude. 8. Hayat Bu İşte (hiyat boo ishte) 5:08 **subdued piano trills, funky backbeat, orchestra, pretty and dramatic singing. 9. Üryan Geldim (oorhan geldim) 4:42 *****slow metal and chimes, a bit exotic, hip hop vocals. Great total package. 10. Tek Yön Seçtiğin Tüm Yollar (tek yoin sechti’un toom yollar) 4:02 ***bit metal and melodrama, pretty singing and hip hop vocals. 11. Gecenin Ritmi (gecinin ritmi) 1:27 **chimes and atmosphere, funky scratching, instrumental interlude 12. Hepsi Bir Nefes (hepsee bihr nefes) 4:43 ***vocal intro, then big metal chords and scratching. Then a bit that sounds like an old French art film or something, more changes in mood. 13. Sessizlik Sona Erdi (sessizlik sona airdi) 3:00 ****bit of atmospherics, then thrash ‘n’ scratch, hip hop vocals. Love the bass on this. 14. Kaçamak Faslı (kachamak fasluh) 1:02 *a bit downtempo and relaxed scratching and funky groove, instrumental interlude. 15. Alışırım Gözlerimi Kapamaya (alushurum goizlerimi kapamaya) 5:54 **piano and orchestra, a bit of pompous guitar, pretty singing and hip hop vocals – odd combination, mostly very pretty. 16. Gün Batımı (goon batumuh) 6:54 Actually a short instrumental coda, silence, then 3:33 from end a bit of phone conversation and some kids talking and relaxed groove. | ||
