What are Muslimgauze's best albums, EPs, etc?

Sorry for being such a n00b. I'm just curious.

I have Melt and Lo-Fi India Abuse. Both are good.

It's an overwhelming and expansive discography, no doubt. I use to browse these when last.fm still streamed tracks: http://www.last.fm/m...imgauze/ albums and they're listed by popularity, so maybe that will help.

I always think of this track (I like the cover art as well)

This is the first one I ever heard, it's at the end of DJ /rupture's infamous Gold Teeth Thief Mix

i cant help but wonder would he have been a 9/11 truther had he lived long enough or would he have been one of the first to praise the actions of supposed islamic terrorists. Id like to think truther

i would hope he'd be more level headed than either.

think of the musics he would be making now. my goodness me

Would be no different. He would never have adopted computers or Western technology.

what i mean to say is that his technique and methods of experimentation would likely have grown, and given he was already so accomplished, it is curious to think what he might have become

Muslimgauze is one of many many musician's I've only listened a handful of times, who seemed to have a rich, strongly developed sound going on that by rights should have warranted far more attention on my part

edit- also is this guy one of those dudes who released pretty much everything he ever recorded, or did he just have some sort of crazy dedication to making middle east themed techno music

Pretty sure it's both.

didn't we have this thread not too long ago? i'll give the same answer here as i did there.

listen to these 3 albums in this order:

1. Zul'm

2. Vote Hezbollah

3. Veiled Sisters

these albums were all released one after the other chronologically and represent his creative peak, imo. each of them are very different sounding from one another.

after that, sample stuff from different time periods to get a sense of his range. he would tend to relase a few albums in a row of a certain style before moving on to the next phase.

no.

Even if you're being sarcastic I have to note that what I have read of his beliefs then were very much rooted in criticism of Western policies in the Middle East. I don't think he would be a truther either actually, I think he'd be quick to list the reasons why U.S. actions overseas motivated the attack and produce a slew of albums referencing the "War On Terror" and the Arab String. He was not a Muslim. He actually did not travelling to any part of the region, so I doubt, if he was still alive, that he'd even join the left-wing university students from that travel Palestine so they can yell and provoke Israeli border policemen:

  Quote

Interviewer: Do you believe it is absolutely necessary, to take these political aspects into account? Or can one also uncouple the politics and music from each other?

Jones: Yes, one can do that. It is music. Music with serious political facts behind it. There are no lyrics, because that would be preaching. It is music. It is up to you, to find out more. If you don't want that, it is up to you. You can listen to only the music or you can preoccupy yourself more with it.

^That last statement is why I have no qualms about enjoying his output...

Did I already post in this thread? One of my local shops has all those Staalplaat reissues so I've just been plowing through them as I can. Pretty radical, although I still have no idea how to digest or sum them all up. But, I haven't heard a bad one yet!

Any other tips on finding physical copies of this guy's work around? It'd be real fun to build up a nice large collection.

Al: Devens, MA by any chance? If so, you are in my neck of the woods. The store I speak of is http://www.bullmoose.com
