Siddhartha

[lotus]

I discovered (thanks to SAM) this group Siddhartha here on the Moon. Googling around I found, that there are 3 Siddharthas (spelled a little different each), the old DE one, a Slowenian recent group, and this Turkish Siddharthas, who's CD "Siddhartha" is on the Moon.

I was trying to look for a resource where to buy this CD, the only link I got is this one:

Seems like an Amazon Turkey link.

Does anybody know another source?

Thank you for your attempts

A good hour of research and here is the result , the link through what was one day their official site, all in turkish but some word in the menu are phonetical enough to be understood by Moonies

I tested the Multimedia link , it lead me to a site who hosted thier entire downloadable cd but I did not suceed . Don't know why , info are in turkish
Under multimedia , the links to recorded gigs are no longer available or were deleted

I tested the" group" link also , it lead to a forum of discussion, seemed to be almost all in turkish

I try also to connect to Ada Muzik who issued thier one and only CD in 1998
but the page was no longer available ( www/admusic/net)

See you

According to the information, our new turkish member onder_kurt just gave us, the CD is sold out even within Turkey.

With the help of Mailos link (thank you again, Mailo), Goo's effort in looking and trying further than I did and Hawks help here is a link to download the full CD in wma format:

http://www.geocities.com/frusciante_greenie/mp3.html

You just have to click on FULL. It is compressed in .RAR format, which can be decompressed with either Winzip (which seems not always to work with this format) or 7-zip, which you can find here:

Excellent sleuthing Mailo!

On the multimedia page, the individual concert MP3 links are broken. The complete album link worked for me as well as a short WMV file that is one of the songs with some photos. The album was compressed in RAR. I extracted that, and found WMA tracks. I converted those to MP3, added the single WMV file, and re-compressed with ZIP into a 90MB file, which is available at:

To make things even more complcated I discovered there's a German band called Siddhartha formed in 1973 and released an album called Weltsmertz - they are also proggers - symphonic rock. "They performed an intelligent mixture of progressive and art rock influenced by psychedelia and folk. Although their 1975 album is called Weltschmerz, all songs contain English lyrics except 'Weit Weg'." "Siddhartha has an unusual style, with strong nods in a Pink Floyd cosmic direction, yet featuring violin, almost punky song writing along with symphonic and folky instrumental touches" The German band is still on CD.

I've downloaded the Turkey band and put it into AAC but with extra bass. I have no experience with wma - a format I stay clear of. But looking for a cover I stumbled over it in a listing

http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip...another16.html

" Wrapped somewhere in the Porcupine Tree / Pink Floyd school or space prog lies Siddhartha blending instrumentation into some of the most delicious jams you have ever heard. Siddhartha blend Gilmour'esque electric guitar over symphonic landscape with some incredible bass and percussive moments. This album if full of major mood swings from very serene and tranquil moments to the all out blitzkrieg jam sessions. Vocals are convincingly sung in english and in fact carry a certain "spaceyness" to them which fits the music quite well. Instrumentation is deep with some great warm sounds for your speakers. Siddhartha is full of surprises and each songs carries its own colors and characteristics always sounding highly original. This is an essential recording and will absolutely remain a classic in this household..."

That homepage is full of progressive rock - worth having a look at.
