Originally an album project that was recorded back in 2000 in Istanbul with a stellar group of musicians headed by guitarist Cihat Akyildiz, and produced by Doruk Ozlen, “Thoughts of The Orient” blends traditional eastern sounds with contemporary Lounge, Downtempo and House flavors.

Though some tracks were previously released on various compilations including Beachlife on INCredible/Sony UK , Claude Challe's Just Good Music and Antonio Ocasio’s Tribal Winds just to name a few, the complete, newly remastered album including 4 previously unreleased tracks is now available in digital download format.
