This is another recent favorite, especially in the late night hours when I want something mellow but not necessarily sleep-inducing. This album is a wonderful mellow soundscape that transforms the guitar into something that sounds much more like a synthesizer. Turkish musician Erdem Helvacioglu apparently recorded the whole album live using only a guitar and various effects, with all of the sound processing done on the fly in real time... Wow! Seriously, his setup must be incredible, since it sounds so much more produced and fleshed out than one would imagine someone being able to do without the aid of some post-production.
But the real beauty of it is in the unique sounds he shapes with such simple means, the mood the record captures, and the vibe it creates. Magical, hazy and blissfully spacy...
