The Idan Raichel Project


Relatively unknown outside of Israel, Idan Raichel presents an interesting mix of electronics, Hebrew and Ethiopian music.

Give it a listen and you'll understand its almost hypnotic call out to the masses. An eclectic blend of everything that's great and nice and yet indescribable, it's a real shame that I can only cling to the one album he's released worldwide.

Probably not the type of music for all occasions but frankly it's not like you can use AC/DC for seduction. Imagine making out to "Back in Black". Not the most romantic tune is it?

So, for pure inspiration and fleeting images of landscapes beyond your wildest imagination, give these two songs a listen. You probably won't regret it.
