Pioneers for a Cure: The Israeli Sessions Volume 1

Pioneers for a cure, a platform for artists to fight cancer has produced an album entitled the "Israel Sessions Volume 1". The CD is produced by the famous Greg Wall who has graced his presence at many Jewish weddings  and is one of my favorite saxophone players. The music here are classic Israeli songs that have been redone by famous Israeli singers such as  Yehoram Goan. Currently there are 5 songs available for download here with more on the way. One of my favorite tracks on this Cd was track 10 featuring  Greg Wall's work with Later Prophets. The 15 songs that were featured on this CD tend to be of a guitar based arrangement that spans from contemporary ballad to classic rock to progressive to techno. Many music styles are covered so there is something for everyone. It was certainly enjoyable to listen to the well arranged and recorded album and when you preview the songs remember it goes toward a great cause.

No more cavities? Just dab some gel!

A new breakthrough in dentistry may be on it's way to a dentist near you. Until now, fillings and crowns were the way to deal with cavities but hopefully not forever. These costly and painful ( and painfully costly) procedures may be a thing of the past: a new technology  being devloped called MSH, or melanocyte-stimulating hormone, when placed inside a cavity via a  peptide in a gel or film it can regenerate the tooth in about a month. This product could not come soon enough as I do need to see a dentist. Unfortunately the news on this discovery is it  will probably be a few years till we see it on the market.

Here is a cute video with Dovid Gabay and composer Elimelech Blumstein discuss Gabay's upcoming album: Eretz Yisroel. What do you think? Elimelech only contributes 2 songs for this upcoming album as opposed to 5 in the last. I always found it interesting that such a great composer is not a musician of any sort. Enjoy!

Jewish Music Review: Lipa -From the Depth of My Heart

Lipa has certainly come along way since his original badchin only days. He's  considered today as one of the hottest performers for the religious Jewish music market. Although I'm familiar with some of his material from the wedding circuit, I never actually picked up a CD of his. His latest CD entitled "From the Depth of My Heart", is certainly packed with material. 16 tracks should keep you pretty busy.  I too am busy and will therefore not have time to go through the entire CD with you. A synopsis however would be, that throughout this CD Lipa really goes through many music genres which are evident if you simply listens to the samples offered.

Everything from techno to jazz to rock to acapella and more are covered at some point. Is every song a gem? Depends who you ask I guess. Considering I don't speak fluent yiddish, I probably don't have the same appreciation for some songs as others would. There are some potential big hits, including a song with MBD entitled " Ayei " which is one of my favorites. In conclusion, this album offers a really action packed ride  and you should definitely check out!The CD case is very impressive and it comes with it's own cleaning cloth along with his name (nice marketing gimmick) .
