Years ago me and S would spend whole evenings listening to him. Every now and then there are nights where I think of Arik, like it came with the wind, his voice. and it helps me. השדרות, העיר והלילה הזה The boulevards, the city, and this night.

Your forehead is adorned with black gold. I do not remember if they've written so in a poem.

Your forehead rhymes with eyes and with light.

I do not remember if they've rhymed so in a poem, but he who shall have you will have a life filled with poetry [bliss].

Your pink robe is furry and soft. You always wrap yourself therein at nightfall.

I do not wish to be a brother to you, nor a monk praying to the image of an angel and seeing bleak dreams of sanctity while you, woman, are in front of him.

You like being sad and silent - listening to a story about near, about far.

And I, who now and again look at you quietly without voice and words forget all about others.

My soul lives within the walls of your house. Captured by your walls, it departs from me as I, with my body, depart from you.

My dream is spread as a carpet at your feet. Walk your steps on its flowers, love.

Wear your pink robe at nightfall. I will soon come to you.

And I...

Your forehead is adorned with black gold - it will approach my lips like a rhyme to a poem.

Then I shall whisper to your ears until morning, until light, as a drunk...

Your forehead is adorned with black gold. I do not remember if they've written so in a poem.

Your forehead rhymes with eyes and with light - I do not remember if they've rhymed so in a poem.

But he who shall have you will have a life filled with poetry [bliss].

Jericho: Jericho (1972)

This eponymous LP from 1972 marked the end of the road for Jericho, but what a long and eventful road it had been ...

Jericho’s story begins in 1965, in the State of Israel, where, as beat group called The Churchills, these musicians enjoyed considerable local success and then recorded perhaps the first Hebrew-sung rock album, while backing up noted singer/songwriter Arik Einstein.

In 1969, British guitarist Robb Huxley (of Tornados fame) hooked up with The Churchills during a tour of Israel and then lured them back to England, where they were renamed Jericho Jones and released a 1971 LP entitled Junkies Monkeys and Donkeys, to little recognition.

Finally, the band name was shortened to Jericho and this eclectic, five-song collection of heavy progressive rock became their last musical will and testament -- and an enduringly fascinating one, at that.

Opening number “Ethiopia” rides a driving beat similar to Krautrock's newly emerging Motorik style, while ostensive single “Don’t You Let Me Down” may anchor itself in blues-rock territory, but explodes with forceful catchiness, thanks to vocalist Danny Shoshan's snarling intensity.

Then come the epic compositions, starting with “Featherbed” (an acid trip of serpentine, Middle Eastern-flavored guitars, blissful and tormented vocals), the cryptically named “Justin Nova” (string-laden, anthemic, blue-blooded prog), and the big daddy of the bunch, “Kill Me with Your Love” (proto-metal power and a spiteful chorus).

All in all, I think this is some of the strongest, most compelling heavy prog I’ve yet unearthed from the early ‘70s, and with little evidence to refute its status as the first hard rock album by an Israel-birthed band, Jericho’s appeal increases tenfold.
