A Turkish Anatolian-psychedelic power-trio active until 1972; recorded six 45-rpm singles whose twelve tracks were later compiled. Produced by Cem Karaca and noted for raw, guitar-driven intensity.

The group recorded six 45-rpm records before disbanding; they were produced by Cem Karaca. They are described as a power-trio led by guitarist/lead vocalist Ayet Aydin, used strobe lights in concerts, composed under psychedelic influence, and combined Eastern modal elements with garage/psychedelic rock.

A sympathetic appraisal of Grup Bunalım's raw, spontaneous Anatolian-psychedelic singles compiled on an LP. The reviewer highlights the band's garage-punk energy, Eastern modal touches, and ties to the early-70s Istanbul underground. Produced by Cem Karaca and notable for intense guitar-driven arrangements.

For:Fans of 1960s–70s psychedelia, Anatolian Rock collectors, listeners of underground Turkish rock.

 Spontaneity: this is the key term to fully understand a context, that of early, pioneering Turkish Rock, of which little or nothing is known "over here"; we, accustomed to looking at England or the United States, unaware of the existence of realities capable of expressing high-level music without faithfully - and dispassionately - replicating already known and overused models.
