If you are interested in Middle Eastern-styled beats and rhythms, Muslimgauze is a good place to start, even if the music was composed by a non-Muslim westerner. Bryn Jones, a man from Manchester England, was a Islamic sympathizer/propagandist musician who created well over a hundred interesting, eerily hypnotic, instrumental albums. Using traditional Arabic instruments and recordings coupled with his own drum beats and electronic distortions, he compiled an enormous body of work from 1982 up until his death in 1999. Bryn was influenced by such exploratory and visionary, avant garde artists such as Wire, Can, Throbbing Gristle and Faust. Muslimgauze's moody music winds, floats, and bobs along in the background of your mind, much like a soundtrack of a trek through an ancient caravan route across the Sahara. Sometimes mysterious and sinister sounding, at other times spiritual and driving, Muslimgauze's groovy, tribal drum percussions are strange, powerful testaments of an Arab world. When I first discovered his Zul'm album in the early 90's it was like a revelation. Over the years I have found and compiled a bunch of his songs that I really like and I hope you will enjoy as well.

I have it but don't think it's some of his best work. The track Catacomb Dub is pretty cool though and I included it on my volume 2 of this. I'll up it if anyone's interested...


Man, I wish I could find more Muslimgauze albums out there. Each release only saw 200-1000 copies made. My mix is just a small cross-section of his work.
