All tracks (except 6) are versions/different mixes of tracks from the album Salaam Alekum, Bastard (Soleilmoon, 1995); tracks 3 & 4 (Infidel Asphyxia), in particular, are versions of the title track. all sounds - Muslimgauze all tracks written/played/recorded by Muslimgauze, Manchester 1993 artwork by Salt executive production by ant-zen “This album has seven songs and is about 63 minutes in length. The packaging is wonderful as I would expect from Ant Zen. Apparently, the music has been licensed from Soleilmoon, so I don't believe the music was “forgotten on the shelf“ as the press release indicates. Overall, this album could be titled “Salaam Alekum, Bastard - Part Two“ as it remixes some of the songs from that album. 1. Dome of the Rock 1 – 10:11 – This song is very much like the original version on “Salaam Alekum, Bastard“. The original (btw) is 10:18. 2. Dome of the Rock 2 – 11:13 – Sounds like a mellow remix of the original. 3. Infidel Asphyxia 1 – 7:25 – I thought this was going to be another remix of “Infidel“ from the “Citadel“ album… and considering that the music on “Citadel“ was recorded around January 1992, I thought this would make sense to see a new remix composed in 1993. But, no. This song is a slightly remixed version of the song “Salaam Alekum, Bastard“. The original SA,B is 7:30. 4. Infidel Asphyxia 2 – 7:20 – A further remix of the song “Salaam Alekum, Bastard“. 5. Mandarin Guerilla 4 – 6:46 – A slight remix of the original, which appears on “Salaam Alekum, Bastard“. The original is 6:37. Don't know where Mandarin Guerilla 2 and 3 are located. 6. Mount of Olives 1 – 13:38 – The song is unreleased, yet the music is VERY similar to the music on “Deceiver“ or the Klanggalerie album, “Untitled“ with it's heavy, clean bass lines and finger cymbal chimes. You could also compare this song to the music on “Betrayal“. 7. Cairopraktar 4 – 6:25 – Another slight remix of the original, which appears on “Salaam Alekum, Bastard“. The original is 4:14. Don't know where Cairopraktar 2 and 3 are located. I suspect that this album was engineered by John Delf at the Abraham Mosque as noted in the booklet of “Salaam Alekum, Bastard“. A wonderful edition to the Muslimgauze cannon! As many on this list know, I adore Bryn's work during this time. There was even a small hope in my mind that this album would actually be the long lost “Shekel of Israeli Occupation“ album. However, it is not, but this album would fit in nicely with that time period.“ (Islamaphonia 2 Mailing List.) xxx BUY AND SUPPORT THE ARTISTS / LABELS () !
