You're right, of course, I'll try to find time to translate them all. it's kind of hard since i've recently moved out of my apartment and found a new one... so soon, guys, soon.

not only are they never translated but people who aren't from Israel can't get even get into that website.
Both teams played hard |

As Promised, my review (albeit, not a translation, just my take on this "thang")
Aint' no thang...
PsySex – Come In Peace
1. Intro 1:14
2. New Wave Hooker 7:20
3. Come in Peace 8:23
4. Altered States (coco loco mix) 7:33
5. High Times 5:57
6. Puzzle (the final piece) 7:34
7. Flying Saucers 7:11
8. Return to the Vortex 7:22
9. Soda Pop 8:36
10. Come in Peace (reprise) 5:39
· Bonus video: Survival Kit (Koopa Troopa's dub mix)
Well, to begin with, I’ve had quite an expectation thing going on, which is something I usually try to avoid. “Expect nothing, and the disappointment dissipates by a factor of 50”, I always say. So, let us begin.
T1, Intro – a cute, vicious wink from the sex side of the psy, moving us along with adequate groove to T2, the New Wave Hooker. A pounding break beat-ish “thang” which seamlessly slides from the intro, it’s one of the best tracks of the album, having heard it numerous times, in parties as well as at home.
The title track, come in peace, is a Sci-Fi extravaganza, which contains samples from the cult television series “V”, yet another pounder in the album.
Revisiting an age old classic, Altered states gets a shoe-shine, a haircut and a shave, some gel in it’s hair and off we go. The searing tb-303 bites are as alive as ever. I can’t say much about High times, nice though as it was, it seems more like an interlude between AS and Puzzle. A nice groove section and a feathery touch on the leads takes it to the darker realms of T6, Puzzle (The Final Piece). Definitely my favorite here, dark, fast, pounding, riveting and melodic, this one is a scorcher on all counts. Get ready to rock n’ roll on this one.
T7, Flying saucers features a searing beat, blistering percussive work and a dark mood to it. Be prepared for some serious digging to this one.
Returning to the vortex with T8, Psysex once again prove their worth, hanging out in the eye of the storm and playing that marauding beat. Breathtaking, to say the least.
Soda pop is a nice catchy tune, with a sweet intro and a groovy beat. This is one of my all-time Psysex favorites, and it’s up to par with Hardcore Blastoff and L.S.Dance, for me.
Reprising any track on an album is a rarity, and for me it shows diversity and interest, and a will to be introspective about your own music. A very cool chill out piece, and a shiny finish to an otherwise dark and pounding album.
The bonus Video is a treat. I’m not too partial for psychedelic trance videos, since most of them can be concluded to “space”, “drugs” and “cool fractals” (and no, Yahel’s video is NOT an option…). This one however, featuring one of Psysex’s best works, the Koopa Troopa Dub mix for survival kit (out on Another Life…, HomMega/BNE/yoyo) is a visual treat, with no pretentious thinking behind it. A simple yet effective video. Enjoy.
Total: 9.5
Favorites: 3, 6(!), 9 (!), 10 (!!!)
