1999's Eski Defterler ("Old Books") should be seen as a reinterpretation rather than a best-of album. Believing that songs are living organisms, Ortaçgil re-recorded his pre-'90s songs, reinterpreting them to show what they've come to mean to him over the years. In 2000, first decent tribute album for a Turkish artist was recorded in his name. The album contained cover versions of Ortaçgil songs from 22 Turkish artists with different backgrounds. These artists varied from popular rock acts like Bulutsuzluk Özlemi, Mor Ve Ötesi, and Sebne Ferah to pop diva Sezen Aksu and jazz queen Yîldîz Ibrahimova. Ortaçgil recorded his own studio album in 2003. For Gece Yalanlari ("Night Lies") he recruited a string quartet aside from his classic lineup. In 2007, he released two albums: a live recording of his collaborations with pop act Teoman, and Buyukler Icin Cocuk Sarkilari ("Children's Songs for Grown-Ups"), which features his work with Fikret Kizilok from the '80s when the two recorded children's songs for a TV program. Bülent Ortaçgil lives half of the year in Bozburun -- a coastal village -- and the rest in Istanbul where he performs live time to time.
