│ Astral Projection :: Aban Don :: SFX │
│ │
│ Lior Perlmuter and Avi Nissim first met at elementary school at the age │
│ of nine. Lior started working with synthesizers at the age of eleven and │
│ two years later teamed up with Yaniv Haviv under the name Paradox. Even │
│ earlier Avi had already started DJing and performing in heavy industrial │
│ bands around Israel. In 1989 Lior and Avi first teamed up. Avi was │
│ already a well-known DJ (playing Acid, Techno, New Bit etc.). They │
│ created their first group and named it SFX (short for sound effects). │
│ They started doing gigs in all underground clubs around Israel and made │
│ their first breakthrough in 1991 with their single Monster Mania that │
│ came out on the Belgian Company Music Man. They started working on an │
│ album and later that year while Yaniv was still serving at the Israeli │
│ army, they decided to try their luck at the big apple. │
│ │
│ After a short time Avi went back home to carry on developing his own │
│ music, while Lior stayed and worked in a sound studio, remixing, │
│ producing and working as a sound technician. In 1992 through Lior's │
│ work, they released a single called JBIE under their own label X-Rave │
│ Records in the US. In 1993, while Lior was still in the USA, Avi teamed │
│ up with Yaniv and Guy Sebbag under the name SFX and they released a │
│ single called Another World under Trigger in Germany. │
│ │
│ At the beginning of 1994 Lior decided to come back home and work on his │
│ own material with the rest of SFX under their newly formed label Trust │
│ in Trance and they started working on their first CD- Trust in Trance │
│ Vol. 1. At the same time they signed up with Phonokol and released the │
│ CD with great success. After that, Guy decided to leave the group and │
│ work on his own. │
│ │
│ In 1995 the guys finally opened their own professional sound studio on a │
│ more commercial level. They became more exposed to the world market and │
│ started playing live shows in events around Europe, while working on │
│ their second album Trust in Trance vol. 2. But this time Yaniv, Avi & │
│ Lior made the tracks under the name Astral Projection. Trust in Trance │
│ vol. 2 entered the Israeli best selling album chart and reached the │
│ number 2 position. Both albums became very popular over Europe and in │
│ Goa and were played by all the leading DJs. Both CDs were released as a │
│ double album by Smart Records in Scandinavia and many of the tracks were │
│ released on different singles and compilations world wide by different │
│ record companies/labels (among them: Fairway, BMG, Distance, TIP, Blue │
│ Room Released, Transient, Rumour, Perfecto Fluoro, Symbiosis, MCA, Euro │
│ Media, Vision Sound Carriers). │
│ │
│ The third Trust in Trance album contained already five tracks under the │
│ name Astral Projection (one featuring MFG). Trust in Trance vol. 3 was │
│ their major breakthrough into the European market, the album was │
│ reviewed by the leading UK music magazines as a masterpiece, and Astral │
│ Projection were crowned as the masters of psychedelic trance from │
│ Israel. What followed was just a big success: Leading UK and world DJs │
│ kept Astral Projection
