█▀░░ PsyCZ group was formed in spring 2001 by its first three members ... ░░▀█
█▀░ But as every group grows and gets new members, new people joined PsyCZ ░▀█
█▀░ to help us in our mission. Our main common loved genre was psychedelic ░▀█
█▀░ ... of course, but everone of us likes several more genres. This caused, ░▀█
█▀░ that several members began to demand releasing other music styles such ░▀█
█▀░ as ambient, drum&bass and few more ... So we realized, that our original ░▀█
█▀░ name PsyCZ is a little uncomfortable, because it highlights our psy - ░▀█
█▀░ sight. After few days of debates we decided to found new sub-group ... ░▀█
█▀░ and here we are ... PsyCZ_NP will bring you plenty of non psychedelic ░▀█
█▀░ music ... especially ambient, but some other genres are planned too. ░▀█
█▀░ Why did we decide for non-psy? Changing of the group name isn't possible ░▀█
█▀░ so possibilities we had was only adding a suffix to current group name ░▀█
█▀░░ ... so have chosen non-psy, because it's clearest and most fluent ... ░░▀█
█▀░░░ ░░░▀█

█▀║ ┌═════════════════════════════[ ReleaseNotes ]═══════════════════════════┐ ║▀█
█▀║ : : ║▀█
█▀║ The tracks of the "Steam" Soundtrack are culled from the film ║▀█
█▀║ Steam/Hammam: The Turkish Bath and are appropriately cinematic in ║▀█
█▀║ scope and ethnically flavored in execution. While the film may be ║▀█
█▀║ about gay love in a Turkish spa, the soundtrack is about creating a ║▀█
█▀║ sensually exotic mood, which it does with aplomb. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ 11 of the 18 songs are less than two minutes long, but as a whole, add ║▀█
█▀║ up to 46 minutes of, well... steamy... atmospheres. Created with a ║▀█
█▀║ musical arsenal of ethnic instruments, many tracks are patterned after ║▀█
█▀║ Sufi dervish trance ceremonies, as well as Turkish music from the ║▀█
█▀║ early 1900s, and occasionally slightly modernized by contemporary ║▀█
█▀║ electronics and beats. Aldo De Scalzi and Pivio (of Trancendental) are ║▀█
█▀║ the main writers, although various artists and groups contributed. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Melancholy violin with light percussion sets the pace (and a recurring ║▀█
█▀║ theme) in Hamam. A brief vocal/violin interlude, Ilk Uyku (0:29), ║▀█
█▀║ spans to the next track. I would have loved to heard more of the rapid ║▀█
█▀║ ethnic drumming and spirited strumming of Mahalle, an entrancingly ║▀█
█▀║ thunderous din. Reedy fluting and moody synths are underscored by ║▀█
█▀║ pattering percussion in the opening minutes of Gece Ziyareti; wails, ║▀█
█▀║ drums and manly grunts punctuate the latter third with a sweaty sense ║▀█
█▀║ of energy. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Some chirpy (and, I'm sure, exotically named) instrument takes the ║▀█
█▀║ lead in Iptal, relinquishing that honor to a female vocalist, whose ║▀█
█▀║ styles range from smooth wails to a gutteral gasp. Piano, percussion ║▀█
█▀║ and wind instruments blow a balmy breeze through Dunya, a World ║▀█
█▀║ Music/New Age hybrid. A duet of sinuous flute and equally fluid female ║▀█
█▀║ chantings form Gizil Zaman. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ A Mediterranean crooner is backed by synth, flute and trickling water ║▀█
█▀║ in the oddly loungey Bu Askam Butun Meyhanelerini Dolastim Istanbulun. ║▀█
█▀║ Plucked strings are joined by lively percussive accompaniment in ║▀█
█▀║ Ikinci Metkup, another delightfully drummy (though irksomely short) ║▀█
█▀║ piece. Sultry Disiu is underpinned by a slightly menacing electric ║▀█
█▀║ bassline and low-key modern percussion. The female vocals (while I ║▀█
█▀║ can't understand a word) are beautiful, ranging and expressive. A more ║▀█
█▀║ sorrowful reconstruction of the opening theme, Hamam (Bosphorous ║▀█
█▀║ version) is a slow wash of keyboard and strings decorated with piano ║▀█
█▀║ notes, like tiny droplets sparkling under a heavy gray sky. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Jangling, metallic strings form another brief interlude, Omuzdaki El. ║▀█
█▀║ Driving electric bass and a carnival atmosphere flow through Tavla, ║▀█
█▀║ which is highlighted by vocal choruses from the Romanian female group, ║▀█
█▀║ Secret. A familiar refrain gets a different treament in Hastane, a ║▀█
█▀║ darker slice of introspection. Rapid fire drumbeats introduce ║▀█
█▀║ Francesco Nun Sonu, yet another variation on the recurring thread. The ║▀█
█▀║ song basically seems a collage of other tracks. ║▀█
█▀║ ║▀█
█▀║ Honking reeds are at the forefront of Sadaka, with drums and synth ║▀█
█▀║ underneath. Yet another reworking, Istanbul Uyurken (Hamam) (6:36) ║▀█
█▀║ begins softly, eventually building up steam via mechanistic beats, ║▀█
█▀║ though still retaining a bittersweet mood. High tech electronics and ║▀█
█▀║ pleasantly jammin' e-beats give a final twist in the modernized ║▀█
█▀║ Istanbul Uyurken (Hamam Trance Version). The different takes on the ║▀█
█▀║ main theme don't seem repetitous because they're interestingly ║▀█
█▀║ transformed in each variation. ║▀█
