Music Review:
Istanbul opens with "Dreamland", in which Pink Floyd meets temple singing meets street bazaar meets blues dance meets underground dance club. If you think that shouldn't work, I think you'd be right. It shouldn't. But it does. It has to be heard to be believed. "Striptease in Istanbul" is a fusion of trance, dance, trip-hop, dub, ambient and something else. The "something else" was partly defined for me by my charming lunch companion last week who, having been left in my car for a few minutes with the track "Hoppola" playing, announced, "I don't know what that woman is singing about, but it's filthy."
The female vocals on the album are reminiscent of - and easily as good as - Bjork's, but with an added sensuality and soulfulness, employed to great effect on the track "Istanbul Can Be Dub". "Watching Me Watching You", with its slightly unnerving speech samples had me racking my brains for the source of my feeling of déjà vu, and finally took me back to the opening of Kate Bush's "Waking the Witch".
Can someone get translate the lyrics???
