Haguy Elazar and Itay Elazar are Israeli brothers which idea for the music is Future Prophecy. Their debut came in 1997 thanks to Big Foot Records which released the CD of these musicians with the same title as the name of their project. The brothers' debut album, by the way: never rated to the group of scene's best artists, presents music that is a mix of trance and goa trance. But the effect of this isn't good. First of all, because melodies contained on the CD are very simple. They are not rouse. They are not daring. They are lousy. Maybe part of them is catchy, but not for the long time. For sure there isn't any art here. Particle of art is in the background of some arrangements. If you play any moment from this CD, then it's quite possible, that you will like heard sound. The problem is when you will decide to listen to the whole album. And at that time will offend you not only the melodies, but also a lack of ideas, a lack of style. Unfortunately, the only thing that is remembered after listening to this album is mentioned fact of its mix of trance music and goa trance music - what, after all, it's just a neutral statement of fact. If we're talking about the details of the vices, then above all else very bad sounds the beginning motive of title track, so in the same time the beginning motive of CD, which is string. It should be at least dressed into some kind of effect, because undressed it sounds completely plastic and very, very irritating. Although the worst element of this album is the last track - "Sunrise". The bad element is the whole composition, because this is infantile trance which - on the previous background, on the background of a few, but somehow pleasure, somehow complicated moments, where were shapely mixed goa lines - seems embarrassingly weak: tasteless, repulsive. And the whole album I would rate as an embarrassingly weak, but having in the mind those quite nice goa moments - from which "Galaxy" and "Bizarre" compositions appears for me as (very realtively) nice - I must finally sum up it as inept and as the album without having its own self.
