This album by The Topkapi Instrumental Ensemble was released in 1977 by Monitor Records, an American label that released a series of belly dance records in the 1970s. It was recorded locally in Turkey. The album features guest appearances by clarinetist Saffet Gundeger, who played on the 1975 Okay Temiz Trio album "Turkish Folk Jazz", the 1977 Temiz and Johnny Dyani masterpiece "Whichdoctor's Son", and the 1984 Temiz's album. There are also a lot of 4-beat tracks with a psychedelic atmosphere that is close to Temiz, so I highly recommend this album for DJs as well.
