Muslimgauze was the stage name of Bryn Jones (June 17, 1961 - January 14, 1999), an extremely prolific British electronic music artist, strongly influenced by everything to do with the Middle East. The name Muslimgauze was derived from the word “muslin,” which is a type of gauze and, somehow, it was changed into an adjective describing the area in which he was interested. He was a staunch supporter of Hamas and the PLO, and he believed Palestine should be freed from the Israelis. Born in Manchester, England, United Kingdom, he never visited the Middle East because he believed it was wrong to visit an occupied land.
He first began making music in 1982, under the alias of E.g Oblique Graph, to protest the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. He released three cassettes and a 7” EP as E.g Oblique Graph: “Extended Play” (1982), “Piano Room” (1982), the 7” “Triptych” (1982), and “Inhalt” (1983). After he changed his name to Muslimgauze, he released a 7” EP (“Hammer & Sickle”), his first full-length LP (“Kabul”), and another cassette (“Opaques”) in 1983. In 1990, the Australian record label Extreme signed him, which he left in 1994 for Dutch label Staalplaat and its sister American label Soleilmoon because his releases were not being released as promptly as he had wanted and he was also not receiving payment, and since he had put forth seven releases since he signed, money was becoming a problem. His output was always very high. In 1995, he had six releases; in 1996, fifteen; in 1997, nine; in 1998, sixteen. After his death, the many record companies he had associated with released unreleased material and re-pressed older, out-of-print material. In 1999, the year of his death, twenty-two new (and old) albums and EPs on several media were released.

@hearnothere - Uzi Mahmood 8 was included on Gold Panda's DJ Kicks mix. @Jurrecane - I'd recommend: * Hussein Mahmood Jeeb Tehar Gass - dubby and accesible * Beyond the Blue Mosque - a good compilation towards his more ambient stuff * Izlamaphobia - towards his abrasive, IDM'y side * Syrinjia - dubby and upbeat Worth checking out The Inspirational Sounds Of Muslimgauze and Azure Duex compilations as well. Other favourites of mine in no particular order, are lo-fi India abuse, Vote Hezbollah, Return of Black September, Deceiver, Sufiq, Gun Aramaic 2, Salaam Alekum Bastard, United States of Islam, Azzazin, Mullah Said. Probably missed some, you do need to be careful though, he could record an album in an afternoon, and some of them do show :-(

So far the only albums I've really been able to get into are Izlamaphobia, Silknoose and Lo-Fi India Abuse. Still many I have not yet heard, though. Suggestions welcome. :)

Interesting dynamics. Everything sounds very spacial. The ethnic sounds mixed in with synthetic beats and synths is very interesting.

this new TMPS release "Fuck Israel" doesn't seem to do justice to Bryn's skill with ironic punning in album/track titles.
