The long anticipated re-issue of one of the first Israeli punk bands ever! A 5 part historical text (in hebrew) about the band was written by front man A.P. and can be read
here. There are still a few copies of the CD (which also includes a DVD with a vintage documentary and a live show, a 40 page zine, archive footage and the original artwork) available at the
Uganda. Here is an excerpt from their description of this release:
"Noon Mem, which formed in 1988 and split up in early 1991 following a handful of concerts and a single audio cassette release, was the first Israeli political punk band. Its short-lived history nevertheless sowed the seeds for the emergence of a real punk/hardcore movement a couple of years later. While an underground scene that encompassed punk, new-wave and industrial music existed in Israel since the early 80s, Noon Mem was the first band to apply influences of British anarcho-punk to the political realities of The Middle East. [...] in a time when separate genre-based scenes barely existed, those who were committed enough to actually be willing to play in a band found it relatively easy to relate to one another. The glue binding the members wasn't shared political ideals or even taste in music – but sheer individuality and desire to do things differently. [...]"
