various / honest jon's records - To Scratch Your Heart: Early Recordings From Istanbul
Honest Jon's apply their dedicated digging awareness to the Middle East again, following transfixing installments from Baghdad and the sublime 'Open Strings...' compilation. 'To Scratch Your Heart: Early Recordings From Istanbul' collects 32 intensely beautiful recordings made by the Gramophone Company and HMV in Istanbul during the the first three decades of the twentieth century, while the Ottoman Empire was in it's final throes of collapse. From instrumental improvisations to passionate paeans, this album crosses bridges between Gypsies, Muslims, Christians and Jews, city folk and country dwellers to present a fascinating artefact that's half historical document, half treasure trove of spirits unleashed from crackly 78s. The entire album was expertly restored at Abbey Road studios to sound remarkably clear, allowing the full impact of these songs to affect wholly. A vintage aural luxury.
