Selections from the Mozaik Archive

by Mozaik

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    MOZAİK began its journey under the oppressive aura of the 1980 coup in Turkey, singing songs of freedom from all around the world, eventually stepping into the more controversial areas of jazz, progressive rock and fusion with their own compositions.

    Whilst the post-coup music scene was dominated by apolitical pop music, Mozaik produced sophisticated lyrics and composed songs in unusual structures.

    With a dynamic crew and a rotating list of songwriters in the band, Mozaik maintained its unique sound and poetic narrative throughout the years.

    In your hands right now is the first vinyl compilation available outside of Turkey including songs from their entire Archive, first published in 2014 in 6 CDs.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Selections from the Mozaik Archive via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
