Standard tuning. Mor ve Ötesi sit closer to British post-punk and alternative rock than to the grunge lineage most Turkish rock bands drew on, and the guitar is correspondingly brighter and more angular — driving eighth-note chords with a moderate overdrive, plenty of treble, and no low-end thickness. Keep the mids up so the part cuts against a busy rhythm section. Harun Tekin's vocal is well forward in the mix, so the guitar stays rhythmic and rarely takes a lead. Recorded 2004 in Istanbul. Dünya Yalan Söylüyor was the album that made them one of the country's biggest rock acts.
