The Great Machine - Respect - LP (Limited Edition)

Following the explosive desert ride that was “Funrider” (April 2023), requests for their back catalog started pouring in. To coincide with their current tour, they’re re-releasing the album “Respect”—which was originally released only in Israel in 2018—mixed by Charlie Paschen (Coogans Bluff, Brother Grimm), featuring new artwork and fresh remastering.  

“Respect” doesn’t go full throttle quite as much; it’s slower and heavier, and is probably what you’d call a head-banger, yet it already showcases what defines the band today. The trio from Tel Aviv knows exactly how to navigate the rigid boundaries of genre while still thrilling their fans. “Respect” straddles the lines between stoner, punk rock, hardcore, sludgy psychedelic, heavy rock, and ’90s grunge.
