Turkish, yes. I'm a Turk.

"Cogunlukla Zarasiz" is actually "Çoğunlukla Zararsız" and it means, "Mostly Harmless".
"Eski bir" means - "An old..." For instance "eski bir şarkı" means "an old song".

I absolutely agree with you, Octopus Quattro! This phenomenon only works when you don't speak either of the languages or a related language. Like in the case of Turkish and Basque for me.

It's Turkish but I can totally see those Basque overtones as someone who doesn't speak either of these languages. I find that phenomenon fascinating. On a related note, I've heard peple mention that Greek sounds like Spanish.
As an Italian speaking a bit of Spanish and having traveled to Greece many times I can say that I don't think they sound very similar. I also hav eto add that the standard Spanish is very different from Catalan and also every region of Spain sounds slightly different from each other.
Greek has similarities with the dialect spoken in Naples.

The spelling is a huge help. Here's an experiment though. If I didn't have any writtern material AND had this obviously wrong lyric spelling presented

Baixtein e inebirgun biteon
Bekledin jarneize inegalmio
Kutxiut alkurutluk lurubirik herrik buio
(and so on)

I would maybe maybe buy the lie that it's Basque, just some rare dialect of it. ;D

Great Band. Not sure but certainly is not spanish. Turkish is probably the correct guess.

I'm going through this whole album on youtube.  Fantastic, please listen to the whole thing if you get a chance... Glad they don't sing too much because I sure cant translate whatever it is.  Turkish makes sense Cristi.

Found them on Bandcamp. Think I'll buy it.

only 3 US Dollars. Two songs to go. Let's Make this dude famous!

The second track is really good too. Great Guitar solos... I'm having a hard time embedding youtubes for some reason.
