After becoming a cult punk hero with Minimal Compact, Berry Sakharof was primed for a massive smash—and he landed one with 1998's Negiot. Sakharof whips up some atmospheric electronics to underscore his cleanly produced rock songs, making for a beautiful fusion on hits like "Kacha Ze (Le'ehov Otcha)" and "Ir Shel Kayitz", while others are straightforward bluesy rock 'n' roll. Fans lapped up both styles, cementing Sakharof’s position at the absolute forefront of the Israeli rock scene.
