Description

'Turkish Delights Volume Two celebrates the absolute joy that Escape Music co-owner Khalil Turk has for the kind of music he loves so much and has spent the last thirty and then some years championing. Indeed, his enthusiasm for a new band or a new song today is no different from when I first met him in the mid '80's. I lost count of the number of phone calls he made to me when I was working for 'Kerrang!' magazine, where he would excitedly tell me 'Dave, you just have to listen to this! It's brilliant! You'll love it!' before playing me something over the phone - new and often obscure - he had picked up on his international record buying trips. Nine and a half times out of ten he'd be right!!

Khalil's quality control has been such that the record label he co-founded with fellow melodic rock enthusiast Barrie Kirtley in 1995 remains reliably and solidly in place all these years later. Escape continues to deliver monthly doses of quality hard rock, melodic rock and AOR to a very devoted following.
Khalil had first entered the music business in the early '90's, effectively as a talent scout for the German owned Long Island label. However, after the company folded, Turk felt that, rather than look at opportunities with other labels, he had the enthusiasm and now had rather more knowledge of the inner workings of the music business to put something together himself alongside the equally enthusiastic and astute Kirtley. We've seen hundreds of solid album releases from a huge variety of acts ever since.So here we are, over twenty five years since that first Escape Music album appeared hot off the presses (Heartland's 'III' album in November 1995, if you're asking) and this collection of songs, personally chosen by Khalil, reiterates that pure joy he still possesses for the music he is utterly immersed by.
