about

Great music in an unforgettable package make this release a must have for Electronica and Muslimgauze fans alike.
it sounds - in spots - as "Fakir Sind" or perhaps "Syrinjia". Other bits may remind one of any number of this last year's group of releases; lots of scratchy sampled vinyl dub breaks; many atmospheres and conversely no one set style of play. No matter as all of Muslimgauze's music has a way of proving itself a worthy addition to collectors. Jones' music proved to be deep, as one listen might demonstrate to be completely different from the next. It is this chameleon-like quality that makes Muslimgauze so interesting.
The packaging is so drop-dead gorgeous that I suppose collectors seeing "Baghdad" sitting on a store shelf would stop frozen in their tracks and purchase it on design alone. Using a block foil calligraphic elephant of rainbow iridescent script laid on a blood-red back drop of Mid-Eastern landscape, in effect, are basis for the digipak to be worth the price of admission alone!

about

Muslimgauze Berlin, Germany

Muslimgauze occupied a strange place in the musical world. He was a powerful, prolific innovator, releasing albums that were alternately beautiful and visceral, full of ambient electronics, polyrhythmic drumming and all kinds of voices and sound effects. The recordings earned him a devoted following in underground, experimental and industrial music circles worldwide.
