3 HUR-EL
Title:
Hürel Arsivi
Label:
GUERSSEN RECORDS (SPAIN)
Format:
LP
Price:
$23.50
Catalog #:
GUESS 056LP
This is the second album by Turkish ethno psych-rockers
3 Hür-El
, originally released in 1976 on the Diskötur label. Comprised of three brothers,
Onur
(bass),
Haldun
(drums, percussion) and
Feridun Hürel
(saz-guitar, vocals), they were one of the very few, if not the only, Turkish groups at the time not doing any covers, but only self-penned compositions.
Hürel Arsivi
is an absolute killer of an album and easily one of the top Turkish psych records ever released. It has a more Western feel, with brother
Feridun
here infected by a fuzz-virus and his own two-arm guitar (one for guitar, one for saz). Also there's much more heavy drums than percussion, in an astounding blend of psychedelic rock and traditional Turkish instrumentation, and of course, plenty of distorted fuzz guitar and electric saz. Includes an insert with detailed liner notes and photos.

Catalog #:
GUESS 057LP
This is the 1972 debut album by Turkish ethno psych-rockers,
3 Hür-El
. Comprised of three brothers,
Onur
(bass),
Haldun
(drums, percussion) and
Feridun Hürel
(saz-guitar, vocals), they were one of the very few, if not the only, Turkish groups at the time not doing any covers, but only self-penned compositions. Having played together for their whole life (other projects included
Trio Istanbul
,
Biraderler
,
Alizeler
, and
Oguzlar
, and all three brothers were members of the
Selçuk Alagöz Orchestra
), it was in the late '60s when they formed 3 Hür-El, releasing two wonderful albums. Feridun created the double-neck saz-guitar -- a combination of electric saz and electric guitar in the same body -- and Haldun's drum set was an assemblage of
darbukas
(a Turkish percussive instrument which is also used in North Africa & the Arabian Peninsula) in different sizes, which were made by the copper masters of the Beyazit Bazaar in Istanbul. Their self-titled debut is comprised of a brilliant set of Turkish ethno-influenced folk-rock with a psychedelic/progressive feel, some great electric guitar and fantastic Eastern percussion. This very rare album is now available again, with remastered sound from the original mastertapes. Includes an insert with detailed liner notes and photos.
