"Muslimgauze: Chasing the Shadow of Bryn Jones is an Anthology of his early musical output and a biography on the late Bryn Jones, a Manchester, England-based musician who produced nearly 200 albums (some were multi-disc sets) between 1982 to 1998 and passed away aged 38 in 1999. Though the majority of his catalog is instrumental, his music is considered controversial by some where some retailers who went so far as to ban selected catalog items. An anti-colonialist at heart, Jones dedicated most of his music to Muslim-world struggles during his lifetime such as Soviet-occupied Afghanistan, the Iran/Iraq war, and the Lebanon civil war, to name a few, with an emphasis on the Israel/Palestine conflict. Jones was pro-Palestinian, often evidenced on album and track titles as well as dedications. It was the albums dedicated to the struggles of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) that resulted in the mentioned ban. Muslimgauze music can be considered a sonic treatise on Muslim-world conflicts in the form of exotic soundscape narratives, driving musical protest and rhythmic assertion. As a side effect of being prolific, Jones worked in a variety of styles and successfully melded traditional ethnic music of places he championed with Western urban stylings such as techno, breakbeat, and dub. Some credit him as being the ‘Godfather of Dubstep’, the current musical rage. Perhaps Jones’ musical brilliance shone brightest as an audio editor who deftly juxtaposed unlikely sounds in ways that now cannot be envisioned otherwise. Others simply consider his music ‘not of this world’ and ‘not of this time’." soleilmoon http://www.soleilmoon.com/shop/muslimgauze-chasing-the-shadow-of-bryn-jones-10xlp-box-set-book-cd-11770/ vinyl on demand http://www.vinyl-on-demand.com/HOME-1-64.htm#

"It is known that Jones looked further than the Palestinian conflict, and also borrowed extensively from the rhythms of India, Pakistan, and other Eastern cultures. Like crossing borders in the bigger Islamic region, Jones takes whatever comes to hand, and moulds it into his own trademark sound – often imitated, never surpassed. The tribal bang of the drums, the sampled voices of the radio, combined with a strong sense of melody, makes the music of Muslimgauze stand out a mile from the rest."

Okay, I know this is a long shot, but here goes: On Muslimgauze's 'Remixs 2' (1998), nearly every track features what are clearly samples of synthy knob twiddling. I had always assumed that these noises were samples he had recorded himself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uws9hm7hy4 But while listening to Susumu Yokota's 'Acid Mt. Fuji' (1994) today I noticed the same exact noises (albeit processed) throughout track 7 (Oponchi). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_wmsVu38OY Clearly Jones did not get the sounds from Yokoto's album since they are further processed in Oponchi. Does anybody recognize these sounds or know anything about their origin?
