New Meira Asher CD

[Christian Hansson <christian...>]

Anybody interested in brutal Israeli music? Israeli Meira Asher released a new 
CD on Belgian record company Crammed. An enthusiastic review in the local paper 
made me interested, so I had a look at the record company's pages. What about 
descriptions like:

"Beware: this album is a nightmare. An exorcism. 
Dark voodoo to neutralize malevolent forces, 
to conjure ghosts from recent and current history."

"It's not a pleasurable listening experience."

"No nice melodies or easy-going grooves to hang on to,..."

"Press and public alike have welcomed her both as an important singer/musician 
and as an emblematic figure which represents an uncompromising, 
politically-aware, peace-seeking generation of Israeli musicians, whose voice 
is all too rarely heard abroad."

Name of the first clip: Dissect me again
On this clip she's screaming in Hebrew, and on the 2nd clip she sings in 
English.

loudspeaker image for listening samples. I missed it at first.)
