Baba Zula's debut album, "Tabutta Rövaşata," is a captivating journey into the world of Anatolian rock, released in 1996 under Doublemoon Records o/b/o Pozitif Müzik Yapım. This 38-minute sonic experience serves as the soundtrack to the Turkish film "Somersault in the Coffin" by Derviş Zaim, adding a cinematic depth to the album's atmosphere. The album's 15 tracks blend traditional Turkish melodies with rock elements, creating a unique and engaging soundscape. From the hauntingly beautiful "Tavus Havası" to the energetic "Arkadaşlar," and the eerie "Tabut Havası," Baba Zula masterfully weaves together a tapestry of sounds that reflect the raw and gritty narrative of the film. The album's shorter tracks, such as the 22-second "Esrar," add a dynamic and unpredictable element to the listening experience. "Tabutta Rövaşata" is a testament to Baba Zula's innovative fusion of traditional and modern sounds, making it a standout debut in the Anatolian rock genre.
