Picked up Gelbart - My Favorite Vacation today in a good Tel Aviv record store. Not in Hebrew, but good Israeli electronic music somewhat in the IDM vein, although not as humorless as most IDM.

i see a few Poozy records around in shops and am almost always tempted to buy them, but never sound good enough to spend money on them
― jaxon, Tuesday, 22 April 2008 19:01 (sixteen years ago) link
This is the best Israeli record ever recorded imo. you can check it out here:http://tastes-like-rocknroll.blogspot.com/2008/11/plastic-venus-plastic-venus-1994.html
sort of like Live Skull, but darker and heavier.a master piece.

Not so much. But I tend to like out-of-tune shtetly sounding klezmir much more than avant/nuklezmir

HaNeshamot HaTehorot (The Pure Souls) - s/t (1974). radio-ready pop, with strong Spanish and Laurel Canyon Sound influences, like an Israeli Fleetwood Mac. great M/F harmonies. love this album. try "Lo Holech Im Kol HaLev" or "Shelo Yigamer Li HaLaila."
Kruzenshtern & Parohod make pretty crazy, punky, RIO-y neo-klezmer that still sounds shtetly.

Anyway, Aviv Geffen's Cloudy Now is classic. And I'm really loving Emily Karpel's Nemashim album from last year. Very poppy.

Saw Shablool - pretty terrible film imo but the music is good. Hippieism doesn't make much sense to me in Israel in the post-67-war, pre-Yom Kippur War years but maybe I'm missing something.
― pithfork (Hurting 2), Thursday, 21 January 2010 04:47 (fourteen years ago) link
Huh? Hippie-ism makes perfect sense in that time period, where the Yom Kippur War = Altamont x 100000000000
I haven't seen the film "Shablool", but the music is awesome (nice thread revive -- I listened to it over the weekend!)

Maybe what I mean is that '67 for Israel is the antithesis of what Vietnam was for the States -- quick, euphoric, leading to an invincible feeling, etc. And also the country was still very new and hadn't really progressed to the point of a mass feeling of rebellion against the old conformist culture - the film kind of tries to set up the religious authority as the thing to rebel against, but Israel had such a strong secular socialist tendency from the beginning that this feels a little forced to me.

This thread (or at least the Israeli-related portion of it) is the equivalent of casually discussing the enjoyment of white South African music would have been back in the late 80s. Personally, I would be ashamed, especially if I were part of the group in whose name Israel was created.

Someone asked for some artist recommendations for an Israeli music for mixtape for mideasttunes.com, so here's what I came up with (with recommended songs);
Infected Mushroom - BombatOrphaned Land - Birth of the ThreeAmaseffer - Slaves for LifeDistorted - Voices from WithinMelechesh - A Summoning of Ifrit and GeniiUseless ID - State of FearAviv Geffen - It's CloudyKaveret - Yo YaDana International - DivaDanny Ben-Israel - The Hippies of Today are the Assholes of TomorrowOfra Haza - ChaiAdi Ran - Ata KadoshHadag Nahash - Sticker SongSubliminal - Tikva
Thought someone here might dig the list. If I can actually mixtape it at some point, I'll put it together. For the time being tho, here's the Adi Ran song (epic Chassidic Breslov folk-rock):

I realize psytrance is probably more indicative of what people in Israel listen to, but if you're going for a dance music angle there's a lot that's, well, better than Infected Mushroom. Though a lot of it I don't think is particularly good, but not at all bad, the stuff that the Be As One guys, or Guy Gerber are doing is a lot more interesting, and is probably more palatable than psytrance anyhow... Also from what I know, Badawi is supposed to be interesting, but I haven't heard all that much (but what I have has been quite good].

Hamas security forces break up Gaza Strip`s first major hip-hop concerthttp://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1165205.html
Just from a couple days ago. I wonder whether they have any music available anyway. I covered a Gaza group a couple years ago, but their stuff only got a broader audience because they collaborated with an Israeli band on some tracks.

v cool Numero compilation from Dimona i have never heard before (discovered it today watching a short doc about Dimona hip-hop artist Ben Blackwell whose father was in Soul Messengers):
https://whatimg.com/i/rWcrto.jpg
Between 1975 and 1981, a group of American ex-pats brought the native sounds of their Detroit and Chicago homes across the Atlantic, combined them with the messages of the Black Hebrew culture, and declared Dimona, Israel, the center of the spiritual universe. What their caravan caught on tape was a deeply joyful, sometimes searing mix of jazz, spiritual soul, inspired funk, and Old Testament gospel psychedelia. Featuring the Soul Messengers, the Spirit Of Israel, Sons Of The Kingdom, and Hebrew Jackson 5 clones the Tonistics, Soul Messages From Dimona is yet another stop on our tour of the soul diaspora and the only living document of a thriving community as it teetered at both the center and edge of the world. The Exodus goes on, and from the South Side of Chicago to the bush in Liberia, from the tangled streets of Tel Aviv to the desert of Dimona, their message continues: salvation, peace, deliverance, love…and 100% parve soul.
