Album Notes Controversial yet cloistered, Bryn Jones, who died in January 1999, created Muslimgauze as a conduit for his pro-Palestinian views. However, these ambient works allow even the non-politically minded to enjoy Muslimgauze's diverse experimental electronics dotted with Eastern samples. LO-FI INDIA ABUSE, one of the band's more percussive albums, constructs a sonic mosaic from the first song, "Antalya," which loops primitive sounding drums over an eerie reverberating Indian vocal sample and dub-like tendencies. Here, whistles, whoops, and high-pitched wails overlay each other like ornate tiles. The goal of Muslimgauze was always to encourage curiosity by using music to convey its message. With this unique and easily digestible program of drums, samples, and electronica, it is posthumously successful.
