Soleilmoon Recordings are pleased to announce the first new US full-length Muslimgauze CD since the January 1995 release of Salaam Alekum, Bastard (Soleilmoon SOL 25 CD).
Eskhatos magazine had this to say about Muslimgauze:
"Muslimgauze began approximately 11 years ago as one man’s obsession. Driven to present opposition to the Israeli annexation of the Golan Heights and occupation of Gaza, Muslimgauze began recording albums of rhythmic dissent. Muslimgauze is punctuated by layers of texture and ambience floating in and out in a hypnotic collision with Arabic voices and a persistent spiraling beat. After every significant political event in the Middle East, Muslimgauze responds with an unrelenting counterspin to the ceaseless anti-Arab propaganda."
Aaron Johnston wrote in Carpe Noctum:
"He is not a Muslim, an Arab or even a descendant of the Middle East. In fact he has never even been to Palestine, and has no ambition of ever going at all. He doesn’t even maintain any contact with Arabs in and around his home town of Manchester, England. Through all of this, Bryn Jones, the brain behind the industrial-tinged ethno ambient music of Muslimgauze, has fueled more than his share of Arabic fire in the last half of the decade. Musically, Muslimgauze is quite difficult to nail down for the most part. Sometimes it is very thick with rapid percussion and Middle Eastern themes. Other times, it is stripped down and almost ambient. Then come the dense industrial ended releases that throw you off even further."
