Israel

Writing in The New York Review of Books, Michael Massing declared, “Not since Foreign Affairs magazine published Samuel Huntington’s ‘The Clash of Civilizations?’ in 1993 has an academic essay detonated with such force.” The publication of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy is certain to widen the debate and to be one of the most talked-about books of the year.

The duo Cecil “Skelly” Spence and Lascelles “Wiss” Bulgin form Israel Vibration since the departure of third member Albert “Apple” Craig in 1997. When they started their career in the mid-70s, they were part of a group of harmony vocal groups like The Abyssinians, The Congos, and Culture, who brought roots reggae music markedly in the cultural Rasta tradition. Even when the heydays of roots reggae came to an end due to the fact that dancehall music became the next craze in Jamaica’s popular music, Israel Vibration — whether as duo or trio — continued to uphold the Rastafarian tradition in exemplary fashion throughout as can be witnessed on albums such as “IV” (1993) “On The Rock” (1995), “Pay the Piper” (1999), Jericho (2000), “Fighting Soldiers” (2003) and the 2007 released “Stamina” set.

Der Berliner Arrangeur, Komponist, Pianist und Produzent Christoph Israel hat sich wieder ein Herz gefasst und für sein zweites “Wintermärchen” einen neuen Schwung festlicher Melodien in originelle Arrangements verwandelt. Die Bearbeitungen transportieren wieder Christoph Israels vielseitige kompositorische Handschrift und sein besonderes Geschick, vertraute, traditionelle Klänge neu zu interpretieren. Die zauberhafte Mischung aus filmreifer Opulenz, sensibler Intimität und minimalistischer Klangschönheit kreiert eine eigene musikalische Welt, die mit einer großen Portion Ausdruckskraft von vielen Künstlern des gelben Labels zum Leben erweckt wird. Der märchenhafte Musikmix, der das neue “Wintermärchen” ausmacht, knüpft an das erfolgreiche Album von 2016 an und garantiert wieder viele gemütliche Stunden, mit denen man das Jahr wunderbar ausklingen lassen kann.

Israel is small enough that one nuclear bomb could destroy the modern Jewish state. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Iran’s nuclear program leaves Israel poised on the edge of an abyss, and once Iran gets the atom bomb, war is inevitable.
