Jem Targal has been played on NTS in shows including World in Flo Motion, featured first on 19 August 2017. Songs played include Dance With Cha Girl, Call Your Name and Ring Out The Bells.

A Turkish Leprechaun by birth, with a childhood fully immersed in music and art, Jem Targal first made his mark as vocalist/bassist/main songwriter for Detroit power-trio legends THIRD POWER (their lone Vanguard album from 1969 still rightfully well-regarded today). After the band split in 1972, a despondent Jem took up home recording, laying down hours of tape on a Teac 4-track machine. Jem selected the best cuts from these solo sessions in 1978 and released "Luckey Guy"-pasting the gatefold covers and handling all sales himself in true DIY fashion. The album never stays still with one style for too long, but rather drifts along with spaced-out guitar (Bumble Bee Drive'), tortured, dissonant piano (Ring Out The Bells'), culminating in a sparse, apocalyptic tale (`The Bomb Tune'), with bits of childlike whimsy and Jem's eerie harmonies woven throughout, not to mention a few musical touches that indicate its mid-1970's vintage. Were we to shamelessly namedrop, we might mention Syd Barrett, Skip Spence, Brian Wilson and Gary Wilson as starting points… But we're above that.
