The album is called The Bright Side and it has most of the original lineup appearing. They are now looking for a label that will distribute it.

Here is the bio here in PA that Uri wrote:

There's also a later digipack version of that same reissue. The sound quality is below average, since the master tapes were not found at the time. There are rumours of a planned remaster using newly found master tapes, but it hadn't materialized it. : : : Uri Breitman, ISRAEL : : : ------------- http://hangingsounds.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - Hanging Sounds http://www.progarchives.com/ProgRockShopping.asp" rel="nofollow - PA Index of prog music vendors |

I think it's more like Night of the Living Dead....
 But seriously, I think it's exciting and I am very intersted to see what path they will choose for this record. I can't imagine them doing a similar thing to their Peace album. That album had nothing Israeli about it, and I am not sure that this will be the road taken this time. But then again, I might be surprised.
Anyway, looking forward to it.

The new record sounds a little dusty and out-dated for me, twirling synths, back to the Prog-roots, Yes inspired....good musicianship, but not my cup of tea. I am just listening to the samples of their 70's record which sound more 'genuine' similar to Kansas,Yes & Caravan, nice violin .
