Press Release from Aleph Zero:

Once again we at Aleph Zero are stretching the borders of our musical territory with CUTS, the new project of musician, producer and sound master, Nadav Katz.

In Hold the Sun, Nadav collaborates with singer and writer Omri Klein, and a myriad of other musicians to present us with an intriguing body of music, at times melancholic, yet a rebellious and self aware one, with an optimistic streak reaching its height in the cover to John Lennon’s Love, which closes the album. But the music and cutting edge production speak here as loud as the vocals. A great blend of acoustics and electronics, smart manipulation of sounds, and a clear audio vision make these beautiful songs, with roots in the music of Air, Massive Attack and Zero 7, among others, also a delight for those seeking sonic adventures. The album also features a collaboration with Violet Vision.

Had my eye on this for a while.
Interesting and unique release (especially coming from Aleph).
Seriously different sounding…in a good way.

Not a fan of ‘lyrical music’...but I still hope they do well with this one.

Yeah, really looking forward to this one. AZ always keep things fresh and interesting. Diversity is a good thing.

I knew that this album is going to be something special ever since I watched the video and listened to a couple of tracks last year. It’s kinda R.E.M meets Zero 7 meets Pink Floyd meets Sigur Rós. . . All in all, all the songs sound completely original and unique.

Here is an instrumental one for you Cloudwalker

CHeers !

It might not be what you will be expecting from us, if you are into expecting (we are not). But it’s real good electronic music, we feel, and that is what we like to do

Hey Aleph team, unrelated question…
Have you guys ever considered doing limited vinyl releases?

It’s definitely a “love it” or “hate it” music media…
but I think electronic music can sound fantastic on vinyl if it is properly mastered on a 100% analog system.
(I think Simon P mentioned this is how the shpongle vinyls were done).
It really gives the music unique character and warmth.

If not for the sound, they’d still make great collector items.

We love vinyl, I (shahar) still have a record player and over 1000 records here and play them regularly.
However, it’s not really financially viable. We might do a collectors thing via kickstarter or similar service one day and see if enough people are into it to make it worthwhile.
