Gallows For Us - Sunset In The Mud
(1992 - Turkey)

Summary:
Back in the day when ı was young I was a heavy metal musician (A Drummer) here in Izmir City Of Turkey.

We named the band as  "GALLOWS FOR US"  and  we staged on a lot of gigs all around The country doring those days.

We appaeared on some Tv and radio shows as welş and then finally we produced a a demo album  ten of our tracks are included (First rock album which was released from the city of Izmir) wih the title name "SUNSET IN THE MUD."

 We had produced 100 copies only from this demo and all of 'em were sold in a short period of time through the help of a mate's local music store in the downtown.

I also had mailed 2 copies of the album to a friend who's living in the USA and hence our album was critisized by an American rock magazine called San Antonio Fanzine.

Today I have only the original record of this demo and it is very precious for me because This demo was partly expressing my feelings and my thoughts about life and this planet earth which we're experiencing in terms of philosophical approach.

Our music genre was N.W.O.B.H.M.

it's a cassette tape, ı just tried to convert it to mp3 format through my pc but there's a huge lack of sound quality during this particular process.

So when you listen to it in low quality right here on this page probably you are not going to like it but if you listen to the original record and ıf you do have a good taste in music then possibly you would like it ı guess even though it's been played some pretty untalented amateur musicians except for me but if ı could have found 3 guys more like me and a plus good lead vocalist guy with a decent studio recording sesssion then more likely you couldn't believe the musical quality,you can't even imagine,lol.

Cihangir Çağatay - Wow
(2012 -Turkey)

Summary:
This second album is my individual work from year 2011 including seven singles that I had been composed over the past years.

The cover and the name of the album refer to a 40-year old incident known as "The Wow message."

According to that story in the summer of 1977 in Ohio- US, an unexpected and powerful narrowband radio signal from outer space had been received out of a sudden for about 72 seconds long,

when those radio waves had been decoded it has been clearly seen that the message was telling precisely one single word only "WOW" (World Of Wisdom).
