Muslimgauze (Bryn Jones, June 17, 1961 – January 14, 1999) de Manchester
Sorpreses de la xarxa, trobar encara gravacions de temes inèdits i re-edicions del gran Muslimgauze, gairebé 10 anys de la seva mort i més de 96 àlbums editats …… música electrònica-ambient-experimental amb multitud de sons àrabs, sense ser ni musulmà ni haver viatjat a l’Orient Mitjà, era de Manchester, on realitzava els seus enregistraments, sempre ha tingut molt bona reputació en el món àrab (el seu suport a Palestina). El ‘Mulla Said’ de 1998 (els 12 min del tema ‘Mulla Said’…..) i el ‘Uzi Mahmood’ original de 1999.
Uzi Mahmood was recorded to satisfy a specific request. Soleilmoon wanted a 12 inch single that DJs could play in nightclubs. The idea was to introduce Muslimgauze to a potentially enormous new audience. The request was made in the autumn of 1999, in a phone call lasting less than five minutes; Bryn was never one for small talk. He was all business, and he could record a complete album in three or four days, sometimes faster. Two weeks after agreeing to record a disco album for Soleilmoon, Uzi Mahmood was delivered to the label. But instead of the agreed on two or three tracks, he sent an eleven song compact disc, followed a week later by a 90 minute digital audio tape containing the entire CD plus two more pieces. Four songs were eventually selected for the experiment, and in the spring of 1998 a dirty-and-dubby 12″ EP was released. Two more songs were later used to replace a pair of corrupted tracks on the master tape for
Hussein Mahmood Jeeb Tehar Gass, released on CD in 1999. The music was well received by fans, but the hoped-for dance floor revolution never happened, and the little record with the unconventional beats went out of print a few years later.
His discography—96 titles at the time of his death—has nearly doubled since 1999, although this counts reissued titles as well as brand-new titles.
