Karpov Not Kasparov – Mechanical Turk (Vocal Edit)

♚The Vocal Edit of our original track Mechanical Turk.

————————————————————————————
Lyrics:
You’re a sorcerer, you’re a necromancer, you’re a mind inside a clock-work.
You’ll be famous, better than most of us, “Echeque au roi” ’cause you’re The Grand Turk.
You will rover, you’ll be drunk and sober from your victories and losses.
You’ll be burning, you’ll be ash till morning, you’ll be mixed with mammoth fossils.

PRESS:

“This is how Daft Punk would have sounded if they were born in Bukarest, grew beards and watched Soviet films while playing their old analog synthesizers .”

Ilya Bortnyuk – director Stereoleto Festival, St Petersburg (RU)

————————————————————————————

“Influences from Eastern folk music are mixed with jazz and electro-sounds from the 80s. The whole strongly reminds of the pioneers of electronic music such as Jean Michel Jarre and Klaus Schulze.”

Heyta Melssen – 3vor12 (NL)

————————————————————————————

“The fidgety intensity of early Hot Chip. Swiss electro-dance oddballs Yello’s take on the dancefloor. The mesmerising, bloopy pulse of year-zero Acid House. Exotic melodies suggesting Turkey as much as Japan.”

Kieron Tyler – Mojo & Guardian journalist (UK)
