I'd like to say a few words about Fikret Erenyol. He is a seriously talented student of the new music. Actually an unusual talent for somebody at his age. He is coming up with unusual tracks as I've seen recently..

He is one of the foremost candidates for the new music. He has a very smooth, creative sound on guitar, coming up with some nice ideas, gives us a chance to sometimes see and think, there’s still hope.. Heads at good places..
