This is the soundtrack to the German-Turkish film, Yasamin Kiyisinda (trans. The Edge of Heaven), directed by Fatih Akin and scored by Shantel. Linked by death, the fragile lives of six people connect on emotional journeys toward forgiveness and reconciliation. The music for this drama is like a soundtrack to a road movie. Accompanying the film's protagonists, the music oscillates between traditional tracks from Istanbul and the Black Sea (home of the much too short-lived singer/songwriter Kazim Koyuncu, who wrote the main track) and European club and dub sounds. Acclaimed Bucovina Club mastermind Shantel followed these diverse cultural traces to compose a haunting, atmospheric score chock full of exclusive, unreleased tracks in which he fuses each different influence in his unique style. Featured artists include Shantel, Sezen Aksu, Kazim Koyuncu, Sevval Sam, Nese Kara Böcek, Selim Sesler, Ahmet Kaya, John Bullard, Yusuf Kaba, Mackali Hasan Tunc, The Rootsman, Binder & Krieglstein, Birol Topaloglu, Rona Hartner and DJ Click.
