Words by the mega one Chris Tsangarides
I first met the Band In 1993
And was suitably impressed to record their second album in Israel and London
The songs were all sung in Hebrew which limited their appeal to the Israeli market Sales
figures indicated 17,000 units in Israel serious amount for rock music.
At the time of recording I thought that there was potential to translate these songs into
English and thus have a very strong chance of success overseas.
The problem was that the band's singer at that time had a very strong accent and it did
not sound authentic when he sung in English therefore limiting the sales to the home
market.
I am pleased to say that the bands have a fantastic new singer who does sound authentic
when he sings in English.
I have written six new songs with them and believe that they are as good as any in this
genre of music I love the musicality of this band and they have a great feeling for melody
coupled with strong rhythms and grooves.
In my book this is a sure sign of great songs.
I am committed to making a great record with them
After the record is finished I shall take it to all my clients and contacts on the international
marketplace for a world-wide release
I see this as a great opportunity for making a profound musical statement
And in the long term I can envisage a royalty stream that will run and run.
