(another reason to love you Tex`
)
If you`ll ever visit israel, Tel aviv is good for clubbing,the real face of the land is in the south, the negev and Judean (yehuda) desert, the green galillee and Golan hights (wild landscape, to die for...) ans ofcourse jerusalem... multicultural and colourful, great museums! about the classical music, i love baroque! i can listen to it all day long, it sound so Gothic to me... if you like the blending of classics in metal, i`ve one thing to offer you, the Austrian scene: dornenreich, Elend, ANGIZIA andmost of them are strongly avantgard, so it depends if you can deal with a sarcastic or cabaret-like compositions.
as fot the traveling, Thailand is not a destinaiton for me. the islands are packed with israeli bums who consume most of the available weed, and the music is far too Trance oriented for me, tho id love to party there on one of thier full moon festivals. everyone get so lushed and stoned! (i dont do that drugs shit
uke
, but india is far too good for me. i love thier culture (exept to when they wipe thier bugholes without poilet paper. if you dont know what i`m talking about, DONT ASK!), i think i`ll go there to seek for relics of jewish communities, it`s on the eastern part of the sub-continent
oh, the tours the guys are talking about are for showing off our humble (and eaten alive by monsters) Land
Anyway, back to your question... Orphaned Land on stage. Since i`m not a native english speaker, and i`m too blurry (from last night`s white wine bottle that got dry) to look up for synonymous words describing
amazement, speechlessness, Awesome, coolness, Orgasmic hypnosis experiance...
the T.A. hangar was well filled with 1500 fans, declaiming every single world of the songs. the gig was really well planned and smooth (tho i`d say the volume was rather weak). Yossi got a grab on a greek buzuki, i dont know what was he playing there but is was so beautiful, a short solo tune, it sounded to rooted here, might be so unfamiliar to the usual western ear... perhaps it was another brief glipse to the forthcoming album, Mabool (the flood)
Ah, and
The Beloveds Cry have ended pretty heavily and distorted, just as i hoped it to end!
The acoustic show was perfection... other then the classic songs who were so well adjusted to the acoustic gear. they also covered some song you`de never imagine they might, such as the Mercy cover of Paradise lost, Depech moode`s "enjoy the silence" and, the last song thought they`l cover (and it also sounded so uncoverable till that day...) Radiohead`s Street spirit!!! at that point i forgot i`m my Whisky thirst (i couldnt drink anyway, i was the driver...
) i`ve also noticed some Turkish guys (or maybe they were from some near arab country? i didnt cought up with thier language so well) it was such a splendid feeling to see these guys sing along to songs so intimate to me and the rest of us orphaneds.
i`m an up to date north american language... it was so fly!
