Romano's album 'Güle Güle' is the madest mix of Mulatu, Herbie Hancock and Joe Meek that you'll ever likely to hear on the Mediterrean camp site disco bar - in other word(s), brilliant!
The synth wizardry of Romano's debut LP ‘Güle Güle’ is more than unique as Lior Romano grew up in a Turkish-Egyptian heritage household, surrounded by music. Turkish and Egyptian, naturally, but also Greek, and the unique fusion of Greek and Arabic sounds common to the culturally diverse neighbourhood he grew up in.
All the tracks are synth funky and happy on any dancefloor along with other Batov favourites (many of which are featured on this site) or next to The Ventures to Sun Ra!
This album is definitely a sideways look at the Batov's last album release, Şatellites' 'Aylar' (see review HERE) as the album showcases Romano’s rich musical heritage and cutting-edge creativity, building a unique sound worldwide from influences as vast as funk, disco, reggae, to Latin America, the Balkans and particularly the Middle East.
