"Manço had the advantage of this inheritance in his most strange concept album:"2023" which was produced in 1975....The album included two musical legends:one is "Kayalarin Oglu, 2023" the other is "Baykoca Destani" ...Kayalarin Oglu, 2023 is the greatest score he had produced...For the first time in an album a drum machine was used recalling the ambience of Jean Micheal Jarre's Oxygene....The string synthesizers were the leading keys during the album, but also Hammond Watkings Phaser, and an early model of Korg also had its place in the album..."

One of Baris Manco's best Album's, most of the song's can be found on various compilations.
"After the failure of the "Baris Mancho" LP Manco returned with the lp "Yeni Bir Gun"(A New Day)(1979) In the lp he had covered 2023 with a different context, and with extra creative arrangements and compositions added by Ahmet Guvenc (bass guitarist of Manco's group Kurtalan Express) and Kilic Danisman (Moog , elc. Piano and strings player of Kurtulan Express) The name was 2024....The album also had a different ambient score named Coban Yildizi (The Sheppard Star which is a name of The Planet Venus)...He told the story of the planet venus with a musical and an epic way which is very typical in most of Manco's works. He used the same argument of Von Daniken during telling the story and making it an epic science fiction score like Murat Ses did 3 years before Manco's attempt." Munimonde

"In 1981 Manco did "2025 , the last journey" for his 1981 L.P. "Sozum Meclisten Disari" ...In this lp Nejat Tekdal assisted Manco in using E.M.S. synthesizer which Manco needed the help of Gokcen Kaynatan to create a single sound because of its specificity...With aid of Tekdal Manco exhibites 3 great pieces such as "Gulpembe", "Donence" ,and "2025"..." Munimonde
("After this album Manco can be observed more an entertainer than a musician.That was so because of the great tranformation of Turkey after 12th September coup where nobody could achieve to use his civil initiative...The objects of art became objects of a non-limited consumption...In this circumstance Manco also had to cheat in a popular culture pool... I was still hopeful for his comeback where he could express who he really was...But too late for him and still we have time to archieve his works and provide unreleased stuff to be on the market..."

Bootleg compilation of rare versions of various 7"s, demos and jam sessions. Only 500 printed. A fine compilation.
There exist various other compilations on CD without additional tracks.
Remarks :
There are at least three LP's that I can recommend : 2023 (1975), Yeni Bir Gun (1978), Sozum Meclisten Disari (1981) All three albums have interesting electronic music arrangements and some tracks are connected in a conceptual way.
