5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to believe it's free!, August 26, 2009

This album is fantastic -- highly danceable, and fun to just listen to. It's very modern-sounding, with regular nods to traditional Turkish music. It's one of the best albums I've picked up in a while, and to get it for free is amazing. But it was a great marketing ploy -- I'd never heard of any of these artists, and I've already put a few of them on my iTunes wish list.

I've only listened to the album once -- and picked out 5 songs I know I'll really like;
Askim Baksana Bana
Senden Baska
Çakkidi
Dilli Düdük
Yol Arkadasim (this has become my favorite - it's a fantastic song!)
(I also ended up really liking A'k Hiç bitmez (Yaramaz'm))

I love world music, so I was thrilled I got to get this album free -- I recommend getting it, even if you have to buy it.

The music is really catchy, and beautiful. The feel is like pop, kind of, but being Turkish there are non-conventional instruments and sounds. Some of them are more hip-hop, others maybe fall into a folk category. All in all a great variety, I enjoy it.

I remember hearing all of the "Hits in 1966 - 68" while sitting in a popular local Ankara,Turkey Beauty parlour.... and my oh my; I'm thinkin' most of these wouldn't fly w/ the military regime I experienced while there.... this stuff is actually catchy, decent and you can dance to a lot of it. I never thought I'd like a collection of Turkish hits; but I do !
