International relevance: **
Imagine a Sevda album where the spotlight is almost exclusively on their deft violin player Salih Baysal and you'd get ”The Myth”. It's a solo album of his to all intents and purposes, but with Maffy Falay and Okay Temiz appearing on various drums and percussion, it's still something of a lost Sevda album, or at least a Sevda stripped to the basics. Especially the second side where Temiz really have a go at it on the drums.
But the focus is really on Baysal's
violin and, on several tracks, his throaty, experienced voice. The
material is all Turkish folk tunes, collected and arranged by Falay. If you enjoy the Turkish melodics, you'll probably love both sides of the
disc equally. If not, the B side is still worthy of many spins as it's
always such a rousing pleasure hearing the multifaceted rhythms of Okay
Temiz. A little gem from the outskirts of progg!
