Lull Magazine – “The Smiths, Morrissey and Oasis” – Issue #4, March 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 influential artists and emerging musical movements beyond the mainstream.

This Turkish-language issue, dated March 2002, is the fourth issue of Lull and features The Smiths, represented by frontman Morrissey, alongside Oasis on the cover. The magazine explores The Smiths’ place in rock history through an interview with Morrissey, examining his songwriting process and the band’s enduring musical influence. Another major feature focuses on Noel Gallagher’s thoughts on Oasis, including delays surrounding the band’s forthcoming album and the internal dynamics shaping its direction. The issue also covers Kosheen’s emergence in the trip-hop and drum and bass scenes, exploring the band members’ musical backgrounds and distinctive sound.

Further articles revisit Syd Barrett’s life and the early underground performances of Pink Floyd, examine Stereolab’s album Sound-Dust and their experimental blend of krautrock and French pop influences, and trace the formation of Scottish alternative punk-rock band Idlewild. Combining British indie rock, experimental music, electronic influences, and underground rock history, this issue reflects Lull’s eclectic editorial perspective on alternative music culture in the early 2000s.
