New CD Review: Amaseffer

Amaseffer, Slaves for Life

Israeli band Amaseffer’s debut album, Slaves for Life, the first part of a trilogy, combines a blend of orchestral and rock music with lyrics taken from the story of the Exodus to create a unique style of film-score music almost-unheard of in the Jewish world. Some listeners may in fact be wondering why it isn’t more popular; rock operas and concept albums, such as Tommy by The Who and Pink Floyd’s The Wall, have been around for decades. The closest thing to this album that I can think of is the soundtrack to The Prince of Egypt. Amaseffer seems to fill a niche in Israeli and Jewish music with a product that is truly amazing. Highly recommended for all types of Jewish library collections.
