SPECIAL VIDEO FOR THE NEW YEAR

..a while back we announced that the sophya movie E.V.P is ready for local release in Israel and will be followed with a subtitled version for an international release in alternative theatres .
Unfortunately we still wait to hear of any development with this project and we thank you all for the emails we received after posting the movie trailers a few months back .

So , In the meantime that we wait to hear from the movie production about when finally we'll see an international release for the Sophya documentary/feature film , Here is a clip :

 

Sophya - Fifty Four : Clip taken from the Docu/Feature music film E.V.P (original track from the album Third Wish)

Starring : Sophya , Assi Dayan , Sharon Maman , Tejo Bolten & Dirk Polak (Mecano) , Agnes Jasper , Damon Fries and many more...

New Single / Album News

It's been a hard year for Mutantjasz Records and it brings us unfortunately to this official announcement that due to all those difficulties , Mutantjasz Records will not be able to continue releasing our albums .

That basically puts the album and single release of 'DESIRE' on hold ,until we will be ready to announce our new label (which we promise you , is in the works as we write this line)

Sophya Back Catalogue plus unreleased material- Digital Release

In the meantime that our new album and single wait for the official release date , we're happy to announce that we will have the first 2 album available for download as well on iTunes and the rest of the best in digital distribution .

Starting with 'The Age of Sophya' complete with artwork and Lyrics , just as it was originally released , 99 tracks !

For Dream we already plan a minor remaster for all future releases as it is now safe to say , that the original mastering done to the album was far away from the intention of the band and it will be received as it was planned back in 2003 : as a dreamy gap less sequence of songs blending in each other creating the full experience (and features longer versions for some songs that were brutally cut in the mastering ! )

We'll keep you updated when it is officially ready for download ! (planned for January/February 2010)
