Although, while writing these words, you may never know. This project started life about two years ago when the number of Muslimgauze masters piled up and we decided to go for the big thing: nine CDs packed in an oversized carton box like thing, with an offset printed information sheet and a silk screened outside. Three CDs are long EPs, there is one with remixes from various bands who played at the Staalplaat Sonderangebote festival and five full length albums. As you may be aware, the edition is 500 copies (actually 502), 251 will be sold through Soleilmoon and 251 through Staalplaat. No doubt you know that Staalplaat have subscribers who get this offered first. Roughly one half of our 251 is now on sale…” (Staalplaat) Disc 1: “Hindu Kush On“ (15 tracks/61:36m) Combines unusual Underground Resistance Detroit-isms with the recent sounds of MiniDisc electro-scuzz. Mantric slap-funk guitar blends audaciously in the rhythmic fold. Near-dance floor grooves are fragmented, infected with non-traditional methods and ancient sounds. Voices interweave from beyond the ether; it veers from barely audible peaking into full-on waves of distortion and back again. Disc 2: “Rhiza Coil Of Rezin“ (5 tracks/25:44m) Explosive drum'n'bass(y) sans break beats. He sharpens an innocuous set of North African wind instruments with an acid-edge. Themes from “Narcotic“ are revisited. Disc 3: “Sect Of Hari Krishna“ (4 tracks/30:23m) The first set of longer cuts, Jones lays down faux-Miami Bass tracks, hurtling them into the future. Like Carl Craig, Jones' talent allows all possible combinations of percussion to carry the melodic aspects of a piece. Disc 4: “Keffeen Head“ (12 tracks/65:49m) Heavy-echo dub-guitar excursions ebb and flow into insane (or unlikely) horizons. The musical equivalent to an intra-brain game of Pong, his radical minimalism is punctuated by furious bursts of surrealism. Conventional beats extrude into progressing realms of degeneration. Disc 5: “Deceiver (Part Three)“ (11 tracks/46:18m) A spiritual continuation of the earlier limited double CD “Deceiver“ set. The most out disc of the set thus far, defying points of reference. A low-intensity warfare, it draws on Jones' vast hip-hop resources. Disc 6: “Ingaza“ (17 tracks/67:07m) Perhaps the most conventional in terms of structure, this disc contains glorious riffage, Aphex and Oval nods, and (even) near-songs! Disc 7: “Staalplaat Sonderangebote Re-mixs“ (4 tracks/24:46m) Four bands on Staalplaat given the Muslimgauze treatment: Spoke (O Yuki Conjugate), Reptilicus, Fetisch Park, and Bad Sector. Not surprisingly, they all end up sounding like Muslimgauze. Disc 8: “Zuriff Moussa (Part Three)“ (13 tracks/63:25m) Another thematic continuation of 1998's “Zuriff Moussa“ CD (okay, but where's Part Two?). Sounds for all the world like the programming wizardry of Keith LeBlanc handled with the nimble touch of Autechre. Disc 9: “Hafaz Al Assad“ (18 tracks/60:34m) Radio Muslimgauze. Short sound bites meld into passive-aggressive soundscapes held together by traditional instrumentation and more disembodied voices. (Other Music) xxx BUY AND SUPPORT THE ARTISTS / LABELS () !
