אהוד בנאי והפליטים(Ehud Banai and The Refugees)专辑介绍
by Jazzis
1st album by Israel's most enigmatic and creative Rock musician, Ehud Banai, and one of the most important Israeli Rock albums ever recorded. Banai, aged 32 at the time, who tried to find his way in the music business jungle for years, but due to his uncompromising attitude and extremely withdrawn personality failed miserably, finally found the right partners and burst the anonymity bubble with a Big Bang. Combing forces with some of the most eclectic musicians living in Israel at the time, like the brilliant guitarist Yosi Elephent and legendary drummer Jean-Jacques Goldberg, Banai created a masterpiece combining his unique talent for writing memorable music and brilliant texts with the ability of his players to perform outstandingly. In many respects this is one of the pioneering experiments in an attempt to create truly original Israeli Rock, combining the tradition of Rock with Middle Eastern and other World Music influences in a subtle and intelligent way. In retrospect this album stands out as one of the greatest and most influential albums recorded in Israel during the 1980s, and still considered a major influence today. The music sounds completely fresh and contemporary. The new expanded edition includes bonus tracks and a whole additional CD, documenting live performances of the entire album and more. An absolute classic!
