2nd full-length studio album by Türkish-born Gözen Atila following one year after her debut Hatıralar. The album is made up of seven instrumental electronica / synth-folk collages. Where the debut was much more influenced by Turkish folklore, Uzun Havalar appears like a stronger original work. You may still hear an influence from Turkish music tradition but the overall shape is one of contemporary synth-folk electronica. Anadol mix old and new, it's a pot of Eastern mystcism mixed with Western melancholia.

Anadol "Hatıralar" (2017)

Hatıralar

release date: Mar. 24, 2017

format: digital (16 x File, FLAC)

[album rate: 2,5 / 5] [2,58]

producer: Anadol, Işık Sarıhan

label: Inverted Spectrum / Pingipung - nationality: Germany

Second album by Anadol (aka Turkish-born Gözen Atila Kaya) originally recorded in 2011-12 in Turkey and Berlin and released on Inverted Spectrum Records, Turkey. The debut comes in various versions - apparently, the original was a memory-stick release, which was reissued by Pingipung as a 12-track vinyl lp and as downloadable album via Anadol's bandcamp profile. 'Hatıralar' is Turkish for 'memories.

Anadol is a musical project primarily playing instrumental psychedelic synth folk - a unique combo where the sound artist combines musical influence from Turkish folklore, Western music and various types of world music to produce simple melodic patterns using synthesizers with sporadic added instrumenation.

EDIT 2023:

The album has been reissued in a remastered and remixed version counting 12 compositions.
