MI KUBBESI

I had to review this one as my first. Nekropsi is kind of an underground band in the rock'n roll scene of Turkish music. But when we consider progressive rock as our criteria nekropsi suddenly becomes the most interesting and unique band in Turkey.

Mi kubbesi has lots of influences from the bands like Ozric Tentacles and Pink Floyd, the atmospheric and psychdelic ambient is kind of a composition which was melted down from those bands through the holes of the unbeliavable music of nekropsi.

Drumming is the first thing one might notice while listening to mi kubbesi, it is really dynamic and has signs of native Turkish music. It is almost close to a style of jazz drumming but at the same time there are lots of metal influences. The guitar work is also interesting, really experimental, loyal to the basic principles of rock music but this loyalty doesnt make it a classic one, on the contrary it is feeding the classic rock principles with lots of developments.

In my opinion this is a top class album when the cricumstances in Turkish music environment is considered by an objective eye. Pay special attention to 'Efsane'
