Istanbul's Secrets by Up, Bustle & Out With Şevval Sam, released in 2007 on Collision: Cause Of Chapter 3.
Istanbul's Secrets Review by Rick Anderson
..."River Song" and "Ben Seni Sevdugumi," which open the album, are both more fun than a barrel of houris), but on "Breaking Codes" and "Giden Gitti" the musical elements seem to add up to something less than the sum of their parts. Even when things are less than spectacular, though, they're still lots of fun -- the blend of flamenco and Middle Eastern elements on "Giden Gitti" is very attractive, and "Orthodox Gold" builds up a simmering North African hip-hop groove, complete with sharp Arabic rapping by MC Sultana and even a nice beatbox interlude. (Throughout the album, Portishead bassist Jim Barr and singer Sevval Sam make excellent contributions.)... Recommended overall.
