A precursor to Astral Projection, SFX was started in Israel in 1989 and originally consisted of Avi Nissim and Lior Perlmutter.

They made a hit single in 1991 named Monster Mania, which prompted them to start working on an album. This was stopped however, as they decided to travel to New York and try their luck there.

While Avi quickly went back home, Lior stayed in the USA and in 1992 released the single JBIE. In 1993, with Lior still in the US, Avi teamed up with Yaniv Haviv and Guy Sabbag and they released the single Another World.

In early 1994, Lior returned to Israel to work on his own material with the rest of the guys under their new label Trust in Trance. After this release Guy decided to leave the group and they eventually changed their name to Astral Projection.
