Comment: The Uskudar/Istanbul-based trio headed by Baris Demirel does bridge the Western musical experience with the Oriental-relied ones. Indeed, it is a subtle patchwork/crossover publication of a vast range of sounds and appearances - from Gainsbourg-esque sensual pop to the most intimate moments on trumpets regarding the music by Miles Davis. Furthermore, threatening programmed beats accomplished with a suggestive lead motive seems to fluttering toward Bristol and thereafter moving on to create a mix based on the sounding of toys, the chords of melodica and street sounds. The first track Sessiz Cumbus sounds as if a Turkish version of chamber pop music (or an equivalent for Penguin Cafe Orchestra). Indeed, Gostembil Sessions is a wondrous set of 7 tracks.
