Notes

Minimal Compact was a band formed by Berry Sakharoff, Sammy Birenbach, Max Franken, Malka Spiegel, and Rami Fortis. An Israeli group in Brussels got into the goth and alternative culture in Western Europe and gained mediocre popularity. After they broke up in 1988 they started to gain popularity in Israel as well since Rami Fortis and Berry Sakharoff made music in Hebrew together and eventually also apart from each other.
