Barış Manço & Kurtalan Ekspres - 2023

Barış Manço, one of Turkey's best-loved musicians, made this 1975 album with his band Kurtalan Ekspres, and it is his most progressive record, imagining the year 2023, the centenary of the Turkish Republic. Synthesisers, saz and long, suite-like pieces such as Baykoca Destanı give it a prog-rock scale. Choose it if you like 1970s progressive rock.
