Attila Engin in Turkish Delight, Matao, by request, plus others with his group

From discogs:

Turkish composer, percussionist and drummer. Born 1946, died in Paranaguá, Brazil 2 November 2019.

Performed and recorded in Istanbul, before moving to Copenhagen, Denmark in 1974 where he formed Matao and Atilla Engin Group.

Most of his material is with his self-titled group, discography here.  Without a doubt the best LP is the Matao one with its minimal ethnic fusion, mostly intelligent euro-style progressive fusion along the lines of Heavy Joker.  Everyone should already have this one, it's just brilliant, example, the track called Take Care of Your Baby:

That gorgeous electric guitar playing is from Svend Staal Larsen btw, who is this guy.  Apparently.

Following that album however there is way too much ethnic noodling for my taste, with the usual cliches of two-chord songs, minor chromatic arpeggiated riffs that seem so repetitive (think the old French ethnic prog band Asia Minor for point of reference), overlong improvisations.  The track called My Little Chinese Love, for ex., uses a childish voice singing a pentatonic scale--this was a musical cliche in the 19th century, for god's sakes. Luckily that track does develop a bit more with some grandiose fake strings right in the middle.

From the album Memories, Ole Thoger's Ballad:

Oh well, as before, I know there are many many people out there who really appreciate this music much more than I do, as they have so frequently commented to that effect, so this goes out to them.
