EGE BAMYASI

I was nicely surprised when I found out this album was included in the most recent edition of Rolling Stone Magazine's list of 500 best albums of all time, so it was Yes' "Close to the edge" but so it was Daddy Yankee's "Barrio fino" so, as always, Rolling Stone Magazine can't be taken seriously; however, it was a nice surprise to see "Ege bamyasi" on the list, even when it is probably the last of their albums that I would include in such list.

This is not a bad record, it is important to clarify that, the songs included in "Ege bamyasi" have very nice jammings but this is not on the highest level of their creativity as "Tago Mago" was, the same amount of songs in half of the LP's tells us how brief and, I'd dare to describe as, incomplete the songs are.

Further than "Vitamin C" and "Spoon", the songs on this record are totally average, not bad but definitely not unforgettable masterpieces; the classic Krautrock patterns are present on the whole release but with a tremendous lack of experimentation. Anyway, this is not as poor as "Soundtracks" since in here the songs are full tracks. Very entertaining album but not indispensable at all.
