Lull Magazine – “Coldplay” – Issue #3, September 2002 – Turkish Edition

Description:

Lull was an independent Turkish culture, arts, and music magazine published in the early 2000s, focusing on alternative music, cinema, literature, and popular culture. Through in-depth interviews, album reviews, and cultural commentary, it explored international music scenes and introduced Turkish readers to distinctive artists, influential literary figures, and independent cultural movements.

This Turkish-language issue, dated September 2002, is the third issue of Lull and features British alternative rock band Coldplay on the cover. The magazine examines the band’s demanding period following the success of Parachutes and the recording process behind their second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head. Other music features trace Oasis’s journey from their breakthrough years through Be Here Now and Heathen Chemistry, explore Marianne Faithfull’s musical career following her Istanbul concert and her album Kissin Time, and revisit the story of American band Slint and their influential album Spiderland, which helped shape the development of post-rock.

The issue also explores the melancholic sound and discography of JJ72, the band dynamics and musical direction of Suede during the A New Morning era, and the relationship between 1970s rock culture and music journalism through Cameron Crowe’s film Almost Famous. Beyond music, a feature examines the existentialist philosophy and literary life of Albert Camus, including the influence of Fyodor Dostoevsky on his work. Combining alternative rock, post-rock, literary philosophy, and cinema, this issue reflects Lull’s eclectic editorial approach to music and culture in the early 2000s.
