Review

ASIA MINOR is a French Progressive rock band, led by two Turkish students, settled in Paris: Setrak BAKIREL (Vocals, bass & guitar), and Eril TEKELI (Flute, bass & guitar). Their music reveal influences such as KING CRIMSON's "In The Court Of The Crimson King", JETHRO TULL's "Stand Up", FOCUS, or JADE WARRIOR's first albums. Their brilliant Progressive rock is deeply mixed with rythms and atmospheres from traditional Turkey's music. "Crossing The Line" (1979) and "Between Flesh And Divine" (1981) are generally considered as one of the best international success for the genre. Beautiful themes, strong and original, are intricated with subtle arrangements, enhanced by a nostalgic and soulful singing. Flute's nervous and airy parts underline guitar's raucous or lyrical notes. A melancholic and sometimes furious music, with texts mainly written in English (And Turkish sometimes). To be rediscovered !
