Uzbekistani Bizzare and Souk
Sonically, Bryn Jones's work as Muslimgauze often pulled in two directions at the same time. The one, towards what fans of Can might call an "ethnographic" kind of practice, especially with his use of vocal samples and percussion instruments from th…
Drugsherpa
The provenance of bonus tracks can often be tangential or suspicious; in this case, it's more like a homecoming. WhenBryn Jones turned in the master for what would become 1994's Drugsherpa mini-CD, Staalplaat selected the 20-minute title-track, truly…
Turkish Berlina
Some might say that the continued stream of releases fromBryn Jones aka Muslimgauze is beginning to beggar belief. But Jones was always prolific, creating not just song after song but variant version after version of his existing work. And so Muslimg…
Un-used Re-mix's 1994-1995
"We do not work on a release, a piece is done at a time. A CD is drawn from various tracks which can span a few days, weeks or a month, or a day, each release is different." --Bryn Jones, Grinding Into Emptiness interview, 1998Not only has Muslimgauz…

The original 2CD Deceiver from 1996 is a seminal release in Bryn Jones' sprawling discography, one of the first major ones to really pivot into the noisier/more abrasive side of Jones' sound as Muslimgauze. From its epic, vinyl-side-long title-track …
Minaret Speaker
While the human voice has often been an element in Bryn Jones\' WORK as Muslimgauze, rarely did he highlight it as much as in Minaret Speaker, the latest in the Muslimgauze Archive SERIES, and its concurrent release, Feel the Hiss(ARCHIVE 030CD). Whi…
Feel the Hiss
Some of the tracks on Feel the Hiss, a release Bryn Jonesrecorded LIVE to cassette in early 1995 but never had the chance to remix and polish before he DIED, use the same kinds of devotional voices found on much of Minaret Speaker(ARCHIVE 029CD), but…

Mort aux vaches
"For this live-to-air outing, Raphael Lyon’s primary instrument is a customised organ, with which he sketches out simple cyclical themes that suggest either a more rudimentary take on Terry Riley’s Persian Surgery Dervishes or a more involved reworki…

Mort aux vaches
CD, 3-panel engraved sikscreened cover ltd. 500ex. Perhaps I told this before: one sunday afternoon two years I went out to see the farewell event of a band that I never heard of, Dagpauwoog, but I knew all of its members (including Rutger Zuydervelt…

Bleu
long out of print "In their own way, ETANT DONNÉS perpetuate the very select circle of alchemist image-makers who, like Michel Maïers in his Atatanta Fugiens ou Lambpsrinck in De Lapide Philosophico, drew up allegorically, poetically, and in a way in…

Stoneface
Nigel Ayers’ most accessible emission? The glut of his ‘band’s prolific history has generally been a full-scale assault upon the senses, via either dingy slabs of noise or near-pretty industrial musique concrete. Stoneface operates on many levels, a …
Popular soviet songs and youth music
Zoviet*France are one of the most important collectives in the 'post-industrial' era. Their swirling, repetitive music changes shape each time it is listened to and has been, as much as the elborate packaging, of great inspiration to the current ambi…
