04 Süper FM Sörf (2009) (3:32)

Surf version of the years-old jingle of the Turkish radio station Süper FM. A dub-inspired version titled “Süper FM Dub” previously came out on Visions of a Psychedelic Ankara cd-r from 2010 (reissued by Glitterbeat on vinyl with bonus tracks in 2015). Recorded in 2009, at Raven Studios, Ankara. We don’t remember the purpose of the recording or the reason we chose not to release it at that time, but it seems to be recorded in a session where the above mentioned dubby version was recorded, so perhaps it was initially considered to be released on the same album, but from the same session also comes the song Welcome to Sunny Australia, which was recorded to provide some exclusive tracks for the album Guarana Superpower (Sublime Frequencies, 2010) which was a collection of older material. To make things more complicated, the current mixed version was found in a folder with songs that came out on the CD-r BEST BALLADS (Hayvanthropological Field Recordings Series #3, 2010).

Işık Sarıhan: Drums / Özüm İtez: Guitar / Hazar Mutgan: Bass.

Composed by Nezih Ünen, arranged by H.A.
