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 repressed 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.

yeah the extreme label releases are a lot more heavily produced, like citadel and intifaxa

Zul'm isn't very harsh, it has some very high quality production for a Muslimgauze release, no distorted drums or random volume changes or anything like that.

zul'm... i dont remember how harsh it was, i know i didn't like it very much..

We could do with a site that lists every Muslimgauze CD and rates it in terms of harshness etc... How does Zul'm fit into the harshness scale for example? (somone's selling it and I'd buy it, but only if it's not going to bust my speakers of give me a headache!)... I suppose I could search the net to find samples... Anyone know a good site for this?

arab quarter, deceiver, farouk enjineer, hafaz al assad, hand of fatima, lo-fi india abuse, vampire of tehran, wish of the flayed, etc. in search of ahmad shah masood is also sortof harsh; there are many albums that are halfway harsh

Hello, does anybody know the Muslimgauze song plays on Discovery Channel's Egypt Season teasers? (The song sounds like a Muslimgauze one but I don't know its name)

Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to track these down! (got some already, yet not scrobbled them all)... Any idea how Box of Silk and Dogs fit's into the spectrum of his music?

sneakingtrain: narcotic, mullah said, sandtrafikar, betrayal, citadel, abu nidal/coup d'etat, dome of the rock, intifaxa, jebel tariq, maroon, vote hezbollah, sufiq, united states of islam, etc (all non harsh) ... i would go with narcotic or vote hezbollah though (personal favorites)
