Review: The eternally mystical Muslimgauze was as experimental as they come. They turned out a wealth of now cult albums that still sound like very little else out there'd there has been a rather extensive reissue project in the world over the last few years. The next of their albums to get put put in remastered form across various formats is Khan Younis from back in 1993. All fused into the competing tracks that make it up are sounds from the worlds of experimental, ambient, acid house and dub to make for a truly unique listen.

Review: We're delighted there is such a good run of reissues of music from the cult and late Mancunian experimenter that was Muslimgauze. We're also fans of the fact it is coming across multiple formats, with this one coming on CD and vinyl. The man born Bryn Jones made everything from noise to industrial to big beat to deeply seductive and inventive house music, often with some seriously heady political overtones. Khan Younis might be him at his best with plenty of unique tribal dub-trance sounds and many rich influences from Arabic culture with hypnotic rhythms and eastern melodic vibes. A real doozy that is still way ahead of its time.

Review: 25 years after his tragic, unexpected and untimely death, Muslimgauze's music still stands out as a landmark - not to mention huge - collection of bold experimental journeys into the farthest reaches of electronics. The fact he was doing this in a very different time, long before beats and basslines started looking outside the US-European axis for influence, and when equipment was analogue, only makes the legacy more impressive.

One of several reissues of the Manchester underground noise hero's albums, all aimed at commemorating the sad anniversary, Emak Bakia is in many ways a more traditional dance music album than most of his others, and as such will hopefully find favour in contemporary record bags bound for clubs with more open music policies. From raw drums and sparse atmospheres, to driving Arabic-edged techno and hypnotic, low-slung groovers, it still sounds as fresh today as when we first heard it.

Review: This reissued version of Muslimgauze's 'Emia Bakia' is a long out-of-print and hard to find album from 1994. It is one of the most unique in the late, great producer's vast catalogue. The set's uniqueness lies in the surprising shape and focus of the rhythms that Muslimgauze utilised on the album; while as percussion-rich as ever, and often cloaked in his usual dark ambient sounds, dub-influenced basslines and Eastern exoticism, the beats are regularly far more dancefloor-focused than you'd expect. This isn't otherworldly ambient dub, but rather some mind-altering mutation of psychedelic house music that still sounds like nothing else around.

Review: The late great Muslimgauze was always way ahead of the curve with the music he made. Whenever you think you have a handle on it you will discover another mind-bending work. Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed is a 75-minute testament to that from 1994 that is a journey into hypnotic, Eastern-inspired soundscapes. Comprising five extended compositions, it showcases Bryn Jones' unparalleled ability to weave intricate textures of Arabic percussion, droning keyboards and evocative vocal samples. The album is both rhythmic and melodic and brilliantly immersive while being steeped in ethereal tones and cultural depth. Its detailed, flowing arrangements highlight Jones' genius for crafting mesmerising, long-form works that resonate deeply all these years on.

Review: A serious showcase for Muslimgauze's mastery of hypnotic, Eastern-inspired soundscapes. Clocking in at over 75 minutes, the five tracks delve into a world of intricate rhythms, droning keyboards, and ethereal atmospheres. 'Sadhu' sets the tone with its hypnotic percussion and swirling melodies, while 'Shaheed' and 'Mosaic Palestine' build upon this foundation, their extended lengths allowing for deep immersion and sonic exploration. 'Ayodhya Skin & Stone', the album's centerpiece, is a sprawling epic that seamlessly blends traditional instrumentation with electronic textures, creating a mesmerizing tapestry of sound. 'Iraqi Opal' provides a contemplative conclusion, its delicate melodies and atmospheric textures leaving a lingering sense of wonder. A testament to Bryn Jones' ability to create immersive and transportive sonic experiences.

Review: Muslimgauze's Intifaxa has previously only been released on CD and is one of a series of four double albums on the cult Australian label Extreme Music. It's another sublime example of the late experimental artist's ability to blend electronic beats and Middle Eastern influences into a unique fusion of sound that is part underground house and part psychedelic trance music. Released posthumously, the album transports listeners into a world of hypnotic rhythms, intricate percussion, and haunting melodies. The tracks are awash with modulated field recordings and tribal grooves that make for a transcendental and immersive listen all while showcasing Muslimgauze's vision and innovative approach to production.
