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.

    the whole idea behind the holocaust is fucking insane though. i man yeah the nazis understood and documented that by launching a southern assault through the ukraine during barbarossa and intending to shift all food production back home that they were dooming millions to death. but to think that they were also systematically killing people at home for no other reason than their birth religion when they could be easilly pressed into service is fucking crazy 1940s soviet/anti soviet propoganda. there was literally no "holocaust"

    I really love Return of Black September and Mullah Said. What is similar to those? I also have Deceiver, but haven't really given it a proper listen yet, even though I bought it years ago.
