1st album by Israeli Prog band Maqama, formed by Noa Lewit (keyboards and vocals) and her brother Ido Lewit (bass) with guitarist Udi Glaser and drummer David Baruch. The quartet performs original music, both vocal and instrumental, composed primarily by Noa, who also wrote most of the lyrics. The music is quite intricate and delicate, well based on the Israeli Prog "tradition", building up on the heritage of the 1970s. The lyrics are in Hebrew, but language barriers are long gone in Prog, so this shouldn't be a problem for international listeners. The music is carefully arranged and the musicians perform beyond reproach, creating a unique atmosphere, somewhat similar to another Israeli Prog group Double Space, but with less complex texts. Altogether a most impressive debut a most welcome addition to the burgeoning Israeli Prog scene, which seems no borders since the beginning of the 21st Century.
