It's the age of the reissue, with the vinyl boom promoting re-pressings of classic records and the unearthing of rare gems, so much so that many record labels and distributors have positioned themselves as exclusively trading in the past.
Mantra Moderne snuck into existence disguised as a lost record, presumably discovered in the corner of a Turkish street market, when in fact it only imitates its influences keenly enough to disguise its origins in the late 2010s. This is aided by its release on Mr Bongo, a label that specializes in reissues and jumped at the chance to release this loving ode to '60s international psychedelia.
