All the members except Nadir Göktürk left the group by 1990. Hüsnü Arkan and Fatih Saçlı have joined the band and the first album involving them, İstavrit, was released in 1993. The popularity of the band increased dramatically after the album Oyun released in 1995.
Ezginin Gunlugu is noted for their musical diversity and vocal harmonies. One of the strongest connections to their listeners is their use of the lyrics. In the 80s they were using well known poems and singing songs with political allusions. In 90s they were still using poems but they also started to write their own lyrics.
The music of Ezginin Gunlugu has specific features. It's based on anatolian folk music composed with contemporary interpretation. They've used a large variety of instruments in several albums.
