Israeli Magazine "Hai'ir" is the first I noticed to have
reviewed RAVE in the holy land.



The review is Positive, referring to Rave as easily the
best Prince album in the last 5 years. The reviewer claims
RAVE's focus is on contents rather than "design", which makes
the album accessible and flowing with love. TGRES is referred
to as one of his best songs ever..."there are at least six
other quality solid songs and the rest is simply beautiful,
funny and more than anything - strange".
The reviewer keeps referring to Prince as Strange, and to the
album as intimate and positive.



It is fair to mention Israeli press usually takes after the UK press
and Prince's albums used to sell very well in the 80's but not in
the 90's.



RAVE got hardly any radio play here. I know it will change when TGRES
progresses in MTV.
