Mor ve Ötesi (literally Purple and Beyond; a word play on morötesi, meaning ultraviolet) is a Turkish alternative rock band hailing from the city of Istanbul, formed by frontman Harun Tekin. Its four current members are Harun Tekin, Kerem Kabadayı, Burak Güven and Kerem Özyeğen. Former members include Alper Tekin(no relation to Harun) and Derin Esmer. They received major mainstream success after the release of the album "Dünya Yalan Söylüyor" (The World is Lying). The band's name is a play on "Morötesi" which is the Turkish word for "ultraviolet".Their fourth album Dünya Yalan Söylüyor (The World is Lying) was released in 2004. The album became their most popular album in Turkey. Reaching 250.000 sales, the album proved to be a breakthrough for rock music in Turkey. Their first single, "Cambaz" (meaning: Acrobat) and their third single "Bir Derdim Var" (meaning: I have a problem) (which was also included in the Çağan Irmak film "Mus.tafa Hakkında Herşey" (Everything About Mus.tafa) soundtrack ) got considerably more attention. Since their previous work was not as well known, many new fans were not aware that they weren't a new band. Although this album has been their best selling album, it is not admired by their old fans as much as their previous work, and some have even seen it as "sell-out". The album contained considerable political criticism against the activities of the USA both in Iraq and the rest of the world. The very same year they received a Golden Orange Award for their hit song, Bir Derdim Var for the movie, Mus.tafa Hakkında Her Şey". Also, Dünya Yalan Söylüyor, was voted "The Best Turkish Rock Album Ever" by Blue Jean magazine.Their fifth album Büyük Düşler (Great Hopes) was released on May 8, 2006. This is an album mainly dealing with the political problems of Turkey and the personal problems of the group members, including loss of family members and their relationships. It has a darker sound compared to their previous albums. This album is regarded as a homage to their old fan base and a return to a style closer to their earlier albums. The first video was for the song "Şirket" (Corporation), a song criticising capitalism. The second single chosen was "Küçük Sevgilim (My Little Lover)", and its music video was directed by Ketche. This album was voted "The Best Album of 2006" by Blue Jean magazine.On December 10, 2007 TRT's general manager İbrahim Şahin announced that Mor ve Ötesi were to represent Turkey in Eurovision Song Contest 2008, with the song 'Deli', which was held in Belgrade on 22 May 2008. Mor ve Ötesi finished 7th in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 but they gained a great fanbase in europe. During the contest, BBC commentator Sir Terry Wogan described the lead singer as "a sinister James Bond".http://www.moreveotesi.com/Discography:1996: Şehir (The City) 1999: Bırak Zaman Aksın (Let Time Flow)2001: Gül Kendine (Laugh at Yourself) 2003: Yaz (Summer)2004: Dünya Yalan Söylüyor (The World is Lying) 2006: Büyük Düşler (Great Dreams)
