Welcome to Atlanta. Have you guys been here before?
(Duvdev)~No, this is the first time we are here, and I was pretty... pretty amazed by the reaction of the crowd, because I didn't know anybody knew us here and the club was really packed! The Israelis came and made a very happy evening tonight.
Yeah, they seemed very, very supportive.
(Duvdev)~They help us a lot, the Israelis, all around the United States and... and it was a really good show. For the first time it was good; I imagine the second time will be much, much better.
So, what other cities in America have you stopped on in your tour so far?
(Erez)~He remembers these things better than I do. *laughter*
(Duvdev)~We did New York, we did LA, Miami, Atlanta, we do Seattle tomorrow, San Francisco, Chicago... In Canada we did Montreal, Toronto, Quebec, Calgary, Vancouver, in LA we did the Electric Bass Carnival, and we're going to play again in LA, because this is where are are based at the moment...
Yeah, you just moved there, right?
(Duvdev)~Yeah, uhm... I think they called it the Electric Bass Parties, maybe I forgot, so... *laughter*
Well, I'm sure that happens sometimes when you're on tour... and interesting or bizaare stories you have to share from any one of your shows?
(Duvdev)~I think the best show we had in that tour was the Electric Bass Carnival in LA, it was a huge festival, we played with, like, the biggest American electronic bands like Crystal Method, Junkie XL, and we were accepted as like, the best, like, when I saw the crowd, I mean, we had a huge acceptance from the crowd so we were really happy, so I really think that was the best gig in the tour.
Any other unique stories to share?
(Erez)~Well there are many unique stories... I've obtained a few... we'd better not speak about them though. *laughter*
Is there any kind of differences you've noticed in the trance scenes in each of these cities or regions of North America? Like anything that sets each place apart from the other?
(Duvdev)~Hmmm... well, for us, "different" is like an area where people dance more or less, so for us, we expected so much, and it actually happened with this tour... it was really... generally, it was a huge success. Most of the places wre sold out, so the measuement, like I told you, is whether the dance or not, and we had a lot of really really good parties... we really had a lot of luck in this tour.
Excellent. Well... you guys have performed all over the world... how would you describe the current state of the North American psy-trance scene versus everywhere else in the world?
(Duvdev)~Well, first I have to seperate North America from America, because... America is far behind from North America. Take the Canadians... the Brazilians... the Mexicans... it's huge! If you go to Brazil you can have parties of Infected Mushroom alone... ten, fifteen thousand people. And when we come to America, the Americans don't know us so much, so... I seperate between America and North America What I can say about America is that a lot of people are coming to check us out, because the Israelis tell them, and they hear the name, and they come, and they really like the show, and hopefully the next time, there will be more as well, not only coming because Infected Mushroom is a nice name, you know? So I think we did a good job in this tour. I seperate North America and Brazil, for example, which has the biggest scene in the world, even bigger than Israel...
Really?
(Duvdev)~Yeah, it's crazy what's going on over there.
Where did you play over there?
(Duvdev)~Well, if you're talking about Brazil, we played everywhere, we played in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paolo, all along the beaches... we've played in Mexico, I think, every city possible in Mexico to play, we played, uhm... Canada, we are becoming bigger and bigger over there as well, and we play each time all the cities in Canada, and now the States, you know, for us to come to Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, these are cities we didn't play so much in the last year. We used to come to the United States and we'd play New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, that's it. And now we are spreading to all these cities, and hopefully in the end we can go to all the United States and spread this word around.
So you think that next time you'll be playing even in the smaller cities?
(Duvdev)~Well, our manager, we told him, listen we want to go to the shows, not always for the money, you know, because there is not always the big money in the small cities... we played Calgary, I think, like one week ago for 300 people, you know, just to go and do it, so you know, so for us, we want to do it, you know, in the future, it is like a spinning wheel... people talk, and then will come to see the shows.
Is there anywhere that you haven't played yet that you'd still like to?
(Erez)~I think one place that we want to come to play but haven't been able to, for political reasons, is Morocco maybe.
Morocco, eh?
(Duvdev)~Yes, it is supposed to be really nice parties.
(Erez)~We were invited many times over there, and even this year we had another invitation to go over there, but at this time, the Israeli government at this time cannot allow us to go over there because it can be dangerous, so we must see.
Interesting how politics can play into a global scene.
(Duvdev)~Politicians always ruin stuff. *laughs*
Dammit, those politicians.
*laughter*
Hmmm... what goes through your minds as artists when you go out, not necessarily to play but just to have a good time, and you hear one of your tracks being played?
(Erez)~It actually rarely happens because most of the time, we don't have time to go out for parties, and when we have the time, sometimes we prefer to stay at home and relax, because all the time, I don't know, we are doing like 4 parties a week.
(Duvdev)~It is a good feeling to hear somebody playing Infected Mushroom but we really don't go out to psy-trance fest parties because we do it all the time, so if we go out, well, if I go out, I go to pubs, and if we go out together, we go to see other shows like, I don't know, we want to see mainstream shows even, like Black Eyed Peas, or Dream Theater, but we like something that;s completely different from what we are doing to see... the different vibe of the shows, so we really don't go to psy-trance parties too often.
Makes sense, I suppose, when you're out all the time, staying home is like going out to you.
(Duvdev)~Exactly. These are the best days, you know.
You mentioned Dream Theater, I read once that that was one of your sources of inspiration...
(Duvdev)~Well, not so much as a source of inspiration, you see, Dream Theater is a very complex band, we like them, and we try to bring them into our music, but our music is more catchy in my opinion.
(Erez)~We like what they are doing, we like Depeche Mode a lot, and also the new stuff that's going around, like Linkin Park, System Of A Down; we listen to everything. So from ech band we take a little bit.
You guys have been performing and making music in our scene for a while now... how in your eyes has the psy-trance scene changed over the years? How has it grown... you know, how have the people changed in general?
(Erez)~First of all, I think it used to be very much a drug scene, and today the drugs are almost gone from the parties, except for alchohol maybe, so this is in this direction. In the other direction, I think... musically, like five years ago, four years ago, you could never hear a trance track with singing inside and today you can hear tracks with a lot of singing, and you know... a whole lot of lyrics and stuff like that, so... and musically, you know, it used to be very monotonic like six years ago...
(Duvdev)~Trance music has changed a lot, like if we go back now to '96, in my opinion, the music was much much better, more trippy, and... the sound was not so much as good because it was not so professional but there was so much music going around, and today I think it is less better but more professional, so if you find a good track, it's really something good. It was all like house, the gear was old, there were no new computers, you know... Then came '99 and '00 like what he's talking about, monotonic music, it's changed... every two, three years, the music changes, and this is I think the point. The music moves from this direction to that direction, and now... now it's most of all Israeli artists, you know, you see them all around, so this is what's going around for the next few years.
I'm sure being from Israel, you're happy to see that.
(Erez)~Well, we are happy and we are not so happy because... for us, when we made music as an Israeli band, as a beginning band, Infected Mushroom, we used to look at what's going on in England, Germany, France... today there is nowhere to look anymore. It's not so good, you know, in my opinion it's missing something because...
(Duvdev)~There are some really talented artists in the world that used to be huge at the time that we were big fans of, like Simon Posford, Etnica, X-Dream, Trancewave, a lot of big bands and they vanished... well, they didn't really vanish, they are still making music, but it's completely different. Maybe they were fed up from trance music because... well, I don't know we are also doing it also for so many years. But a lot of the European trance... psychedelic trance is gone, you know, and I'm not so happy about it, but in the other case, to see the Israelis going all around, it's really fun to see.

What do the two of you see as... Infected Mushroom as a group... as your role, because you 're very very prominent now, a lot of people have seen you as a staple of the trance scene... how do you view IM's role in this society?
(Duvdev)~Well, it's hard, you know, we are considered to be the biggest in the psy-trance scene and everybody's looking at us, but we don't try to think that way, you know? We look at the kids, what are they doing, you know, and what is going on on the dancefloor. As a psytrance artist, I think me and Erez all the time try to make the dancefloor move really strongly. We don't think about what Infected Mushroom is to the rest of the world.
(Erez)~We just want to spread the music of what we are doing to more people, and slowly, slowly, we are succeeding, but it takes time.
Definitely. What do you see as today's psy trance scene's best virtues and worst vices?
(Erez)~The virtues, I think, of psy-trance music....
(Duvdev)~When you go... like, if you want the virtues compared to other scenes... I think it's a scene woth no violence, you know, people are really only coming to dance and stuff, the drugs came down... it used to be a really huge drug scene. Now the music has really become professional, and I think it's one of the best ways to go out and dance today compared to other music, and the downside of the psy-trance scene today, well... I think it would be much bigger if people will give it more chance, you know, like record labels and stuff like that... we are not played in any television stations... I think if we were given a chance, then much more people would know psytrance, but then it will become not underground as people like it, so there's always virtues and downsides to each thing. In my opinion, we do not get enough pushing from the record industry to be where we should be, but, slowly, slowly.
Do you (Erez) have anything to add to that?
(Erez) ~I think today, if I were to stop making music and go out, I think you get the best crowd at psy-trance parties complete from other parties that I went to, they are most nice people, and very nice girls and guys, and everything... just really nice people, so... this is what I think.
Which artists have you collaborated with to make your music in the past?
(Duvdev)~Oh, we've collaborated with Simon Posford, whom we are huge fans of, because he is one of the good ones in the psy-trance scene, one of the best producers around the world, we did music with the Israelis, with Astrix, Zerox, Space Cat, uhhhh... I collaborated with Skazi, Deedrah, we collaborated with Talamasca, almost everyone really... but the point is when we have the time we do it. It's a matter of time, we are so busy and the otehr artists are busy... so when we meet sometimes, it's more of a meeting and then on the way we start a track and then we finish it and we call it a collaboration. *laughs*
Are there any who you're currently working with or plan to in the future?
(Erez)~Plans, yes, but I'm not too sure yet.
Don't really want to say at this point?
(Erez)~No, it's not like that... just that when it will happen, it will happen.
What sort of gear did you use to do your show tonight?
(Duvdev)~It's our basic gear that we use for every show, we have our own laptop and sound card, we asked for a Mackie desk but instead we got a Midas, the keyboards are usually the Nord Lead by Clavia, the Motif by Yamaha, the MS2000 by Korg, we use two FX processors for delay and reverbs, a compressor for singing and a Shure microphone, and... that's it!
So do you take your gear around with you? Or...
(Duvdev)~Nonononono, it is usually rented, and it's very easy to rent, and for us, taking gear with us is very hard with all the flying and stuff like that...
Oh yeah, you know they'll just throw it all on the airplane...
(Duvdev)~The machines were getting wrecked... We used to do it, many years ago, but no machine can do it so much to go on a plane, so the people rent this gear for us.
Are there any new pieces of gear you're working with that inspire you that you haven't used in a live show yet?
(Duvdev)~Most of the gear, first of all, that we use in the studio, we don't have in the live show. I cannot ask for an Eventide H8000 that I really really like and I have in the studio to rent because it is a really really expensive piece of equipment, you know? And we have some compressors and a really really high end microphone, so we have a lot of stuff in the studio. We buy stuff all the time, and now we bought lately the Roland FX Fantom something and uhm... *laughter* and a multichannel compressor from Focusrite, so each time we buy new hear, we're addicted to that.
Personally, do you find that the sound of the hardware is definitely a lot richer than most of the softsynths you find nowadays?
(Duvdev)~Well, I think that hardware until today and always has been better than software, but the software is getting really really close, and sometimes even better, you know? Nobody thinks in the world that Spectrasonic, if you know this company, like everybody use Stylus Remix and Atmosphere... nobody thinks it sounds less good than a keyboard because everybody's using it, so I think in a few years to come, the hardware will go away.
(Erez)~You have to choose the right instruments, there are really good VST instruments...
(Duvdev)~I think the programmers, you know, are getting better, if you take a good programmer and a proper synth in the programming, it will sound as well as the hardware, so five years ago, the software was shit, and now we are here and the software is almost comparing to the hardware. Five years form now I think there will be no hardware anymore. Only software.
When you go into the studio to work on your tracks, is there anything special that youdo to mentally prepare yourself to make music?
(Duvdev)~Completely not. We drink a cup of coffee in the morning, we go down to the studio, it's like a big game room, sometimes it is a really hard job to make a track, because we are stuck, sometimes it's really easy, but we are used to it, you know. We have the heart, we have the soul, so we jsut go sit together in the studio, sometimes he has more melodies so he puts it on, sometimes I have more melodies, sometimes I come with the beat, sometimes he comes with the beat... it's two people sitting in a room. No inspiring, no nothing, we just start and see what's going on, you know, we love what we are doing, we love music, so it's not a job. We have a nice room. It's the best room in the house.
So you've mentioned Simon Posford, Dream Theater, a couple of other artists... either in electronic music or not... that you kind of take influence from?
(Duvdev)~I think there is Depeche Mode, very inspiring, melody-wise, and uh, Pantera as well...
Wow, Pantera?
(Duvdev)~We like the group of Pantera. The guitarist that died a few months ago, but one of our favorite bands, we like Metallica, Megadeth, a lot of trash metal for many years and Depeche Mode is a really good example. We like the Prodigy as well for what they are doing, if you mention electronic-wise, Marilyn Manson I like a lot.
(Duvdev)~We listen to a lot of music, like everybody. Hip-hop we like sometimes, you know, I like some of the Black Eyed Peas stuff, so we listen to a lot of music... Jay Z we like a lot... whatever.

Are there any artists who for one reaosn or nother no longer make music that you miss?
(Duvdev)~Pink Floyd is one, but they are fed up... Guns N Roses, I used to like a lot, but went away... Pantera.... very missed... a lot in the trance scene of course. Etnica, Trancewave... now there is actually a new Trancewave coming out, hopefully it will be good. There is a lot fo bands that I miss, but all the time new bands are coming out, so... making music after so many yars is hard, so after like ten years you can be fed up from one direction and go to another direction, so to make consistent music for so many years is hard.
How long on the average does it take for you to make any given track?
(Erez)~It used to be fast, it used to be two days maximum, today it takes us about a week to finish a track properly.
(Duvdev)~I think we are more picky today, we deliberate on every sound too much sometimes because we want it to be really proper, like if you take our older album, like, I don't know, Classical Mushroom, I really like the tracks but when I hear it today I say, "What the fuck is this sound?" *laughter* We didn't have that at that time, but today there is no stuff like this, you know, if something is not sounding proper after two days, we say "Fuck it, we dump, then three days afterward, we're done, and the touring and such like that now it takes longer time. We are more particular on what album is going to come... a lot of people are looking at us today, you know, waiting, a lot of expectation each album and album so we work very hard on each album so it takes more time. Sometimes one week per track... usually it takes a week.
Obviously for the two of you to have worked so long together, you must each have your own strengths and weaknesses which compliment each other in a way... how would each of you describe your strengths and weaknesses in the studio?
~(Duvdev) Well I can tell you my weakness... I don't have patience. Sometimes if something sounds okay, I say "Let's do it." He (Erez) will sit another two hours on this segment. I'll say "Fuck it, let's do it." Sometimes I think he sits on something for so long only for me and him because the crowd will never hear it. I'm telling you. *laughter* No, I promise you you will never hear it. I will tell you, "Listen to this," and you will say "What?" So he is more patient than me. I don't have patience in the studio.
~(Erez) For me, it's that I give up much faster. The moment I cannot do trance anymore, he is ridiculing me...
~(Duvdev) He gives up way too easily. *laughs*
~(Erez) I say, "We've already done this a million times and blah blah blah..."
~(Duvdev) To make a track and to finish it is a hard job but int he end, we are both happy. Sometimes I get fed up so I go from the studio, sometimes he gets fed up so I continue... it's the way of making music. Sometimes we makea track and it goes like this: *snaps fingers* When you make music, it's not always coming to you very easily. Me, myself today, I like the more hard ones. It's kind of a fight for me. Sometimes it goes fast and sometimes it goes slowly, it depends on the mood of the week.
Which direction so you see, musically speaking, so you see the Infected Mushroom sound headed in in the future?
(Duvdev)~We continue to make tracks because I think each year the parties are becoming so good and so strong, you know... to leave trace behind when we see fifteen thousand people in Brazil doing like that *throws up hands* in the air, it is not possible for us. But, in another way, we are really interested in all kinds of other music. I think you will feel it in the next upcoming album; there will be some really different tracks from Infected Mushroom because we really like all different kinds of music. So the point now is we are doing psytrance on one side and other music, like breakbeats, ambient, rock, on the other side.
You expressed this well in the "Converting...
(Duvdev)~Yes, in the "Converting Vegetarians" album we tried to express this. But the problem with this album was that the psytrance side of this album was not so much for the dancefloor. And then people said "Blah blahblah, Infected forgot the dancefloor stuff, " and we got pissed, you know, and did "IM the Supervisor". So this album is not going to be like that. I promise you that the psytrance record is going to be really strong, but the other tracks are going to be really different, so it's going to be a diverse album. To see what goes in the future I cannot tell you. First do the album, then we'll talk about it.

Don't want to give any secrets away?
(Duvdev)~No, it's not "secrets", we just don't know. People ask what's going to be on the next album, I don't know. We're just now making it.
(Erez)~We are trying to invent something new.
(Duvdev)~ People say, "Tell me the direction." But there is no direction.
(Erez)~We are just doing stuff and we'll see what happens.
So, when you make any given track, is there any kind of specific feeling, message, or emotion that you intend to instill in the listener?
(Erez)~No, we never think about a message, other than come and dance, that's about it.
(Duvdev)~There are kinds of feelings in the tracks, we might consider one track is more "happy", and one track is more "dark", but they are in our eyes only because the dark track that we see somebody might see as really happy and vice versa, you know, so this is the only feeling he and I have about them, but no message in the tracks beyond considering this track "more fluffy" and this track "more hard".
One thing that I find about trance music in general is that it's very often like this, where it's a very raw kind of music that isn't intended to give across any specific message, political or societal or otherwise....
(Duvdev)~That is exactly the point, there is no message in our music, political of course not, the only message is "Come dance!" and you can catch the music as... some feel it is spiritual, but this is their choice, you know, it was not our intent to make it "spiritual", but if somebody takes it as the most spiritual thing they've heard, then I'm happy for them.
It's mainly more of the interpretation of the individual.
(Duvdev)~Yes, the interpretation of the individual in each country, and in each person it's different.
These days, the technology is increasingly made available for more people than ever to be able to produce their own music at home and not necessarily need a gigantic professional studio... what kind of impact do you think this will have on the trance scene?
(Duvdev)~First of all, the impact is already here... if you catch the Israeli kids sitting at home with their computers and doing amazing music, you know, you can't believe how good it is, so I think the purpose of the technology helps a lot of people come into the music and it's really really good because more music is being done. And the more music being done means the more shit music is being done, but also that more good music is being done. There is more music, and I think this is the point and I think from year to year, it will become so easy to make music. I think in ten years we will simply speak to the computer and it will do some version of that... at least, I hope it will be that way... It will make my job more easy, but uh... I think the more music that is being done, the better it is. It's not always good... but some of it is really really good.
Do you (Erez) have anything to add to that?
(Erez)~Hmm, no, only that it's good that everything is cheaper to make music today. We used to buy tons of equipment while today we can buy the high-end gear, but at this time you need only one computer, one keyboard, that's it.
(Duvdev)~We continue to buy equipment...
(Erez)~...But we're addicted. *laughs*
(Duvdev)~Yes, addicted. We don't need it. We don't need it. We just buy it. I don't know why, I can't explain it.
Well, it's a passion.
(Duvdev)~Yes, we are completely addicted to machines.
On that note, what advice to you have for all these home artists out there? What would you say to them?
(Duvdev)~Well, we had one guy, one show ago, he told me, "You know, I sit two hours every day and make music," And I told him, "Listen, I could sit today for twelve hours and do music, what are you telling me?" My advice is to sit a lot, as much as you can, and do music... your music in the beginning will be shit, like any artist, at the beginning, our music was shit...
(Erez)~For the first year or two it will be...
(Duvdev)~... Because you cannot take what is in the mind, even if you say, "I have so many ideas," and put it to the hand. It takes two years to take what you have here and put it to the hand, you know, to the keyboards, to the computer, you have to learn the computer and learn the machines and stuff, so the only point we have is to do as much music as you can. It will be shit in the beginning, but eventually you will get better.
Practice, practice, practice.
(Erez)~Don't want, just do, not one or two hours, but at least eight hours every day if you have the time.

(Duvdev)~People are too lazy.
(Erez)~This is the problem. People are so lazy. Some people, the younger ones, they don't have any worries. They sit in their parent's home, they have their own studio or computer... get to work!
(Duvdev)~This is the vice of the kids, you know, I can understand someone that is 25, and they have a job, and they have a girlfriend and a house... they don't have time to spend eight hours a day working on music, you know, but the kids... they don't do nothing, you know, 15, 16, you can spend eight hours a day. You don't have a family to take care of, you don't have a house to rent, blah blah blah, so if you're a kid, you have a computer in the house and you want to do music, you have to give it a lot of hours a day.
On a different subject, I read once in a past interview that you were gifted with a hamster at one of your shows, is that true?
(Duvdev)~No, that is a complete rumor. We never got a hamster. *laughs*
Is it one you've heard before?
(Duvdev)~Nope, that's the first time I've heard it.
Well, that was one of the things I've read in someone's past interview, and it seemed pretty unusual to me, so I thought I'd find out if it was really true or not. Hmmm... well is there anything unusual, or, uhm, memorable that people have truly given you?
(Duvdev)~ People usually gift us with mushrooms. All sorts of kinds of mushrooms. T-Shirts, big mushrooms, magic mushrooms, and other stuff, like necklaces of mushrooms... I have millions of them. So this is the gift that we get. Sometimes we get things like paintings, and stuff like that, but it's not unusual, CDs, blah blah blah...
I guess it's their way of showing appreciation.
(Erez)~You're supposed to bring us some food, you know.
(Duvdev)~Yes, some food! Bring us some food! Give me a sandwich or a nice hot dog. *laughter* I would appreciate that as well. *laughs*
Well, next time I will bring you a hot dog. *laughs* Hmmm... well, where does the name "Infected Mushroom" come from?
(Erez)~It used to be a band from Israel, a cool punk band, they were called "Infected Mushroom", and they split up, one went to the Army, one to London, they stopped making music, and we were jsut starting and thought it was a cool name, and so we just stole the name. We never thought we were going to be released ona CD or anything like that, or even be a band, so...
(Duvdev)~Many years after we started the project under "Infected Mushroom", and then our third album came, and we were a really big band, the original "Infected Mushroom" then contacted us about the name, blah blah blah...
(Erez)~They wanted to sue us.
(Duvdev)~And then we told them, "Listen, you know, now we are coming, it's after three albums, this is like, bullshit! You could have said something in the beginning, but by then it was closed. It was another band, but they stopped doing music, so we just took the name. It sounded good for us, it was a good name.
I guess a kind of personal question, do you guys have any wives, a family, girlfriends, children?
~(Erez) I have a wife.
Well, congratulations.
~(Duvdev) And I'm divorced, but with a new girlfriend, so...
Well, congratulations to you too. You both seem quite happy to say it.
Again, another personal qustion, and you don't have to answer, but do either of you follow any particular religion or personal spirituality or anything?
(Erez)~Not at all, the only thing, I think, is that we try to help people as much as we can.
(Duvdev)~We don't really go by religion, you know, our religion, that is, the Jewish religion, don't allow us to play on Saturday, and we play all over the world, so we don't go by any religion, we just try to be ourselves and do what we think is right... we don't follow any religion.
Humanistic libertarianism. *giggles*
Here's a broad question... when in your opinions did "Goa Trance" become "Psychedelic Trance" and how would you describe to somebody who isn't normally into trance, the difference between the two?
(Duvdev)~Well, the whole story about Goa Trance and Psychedelic Trance, I think, trance started beginning in Europe in like '88, '89 and then moved to Goa because t was a good place to party to that music, then came back to Europe and Israel and stuff like that so... what people call "Goa Trance" is also psy-trance music but it is more melodic, it is more happy, what people call "Psychedelic Trance" is more hard and more psychedelic sounding... to me, I don't see a difference... even if Infected Mushroom is called "Psychedelic Trance"... the word "psychedelic" is a very hard word, because I can see something as psychedelic which... another person would not see as psychedelic and vice versa... that's why I don't like the word "psychedelic trance". I prefer to call our music a "fast-tempo beat dancefloor trance"; that's what we do. It's dancefloor music, never mind where the dancefloor is. Psychedelic Trance, which is our genre, when you compare it to normal trance is more psychedlic, yes, it's more psychedelic for the normal people, you know? But for us, it's not "psychedelic" trance.
(Erez)~The best way to explain is to give the guy a ticket, let him come to a show, listen. This is the best way to explain it.
Let them listen for themselves...
(Duvdev)~If you like it, cool, if not, then go somewhere else for your music... find your own musical taste. So if people come to the shows and they like it, they will continue with it.
Well that just about covers all of my questions. Thank you once again, it was a great opportunity... and than you once again as well...
(Erez)~You're welcome, and thank you as well.
Have a good night.
