Deep – Super Illusions
The DJing and Rock backgrounds of Ates Kozal and Mustafa Göze are strongly reflected in "Super Illusions". With its aggressive guitar sounds, blues solos, scratches and crunchy drum patterns, created using acoustic instruments, Synthesized sounds and vocal sampling subjected to reversing, looping and filtering amongst other effects, Deep have created an album which expresses the personal angers, frustrations and melancholic moods of its members, through a fusion of two very different music genres resulting in a new and unique sound in their home studio in Cyprus between 2002-2005.
