I deleted all the Muslimgauze and Tinarawen off my ipod when I flew to Israel lol.

Did someone play this here like it was their Pot of Greed or Professor Oak card?

Oliver Cruz
I agree
this actually confused me
Liam Hill
what's a good album of his to start with?
Brayden Hill
Mullah Said
Wyatt Cruz
I've got to say, this one is great.
I listened way too much of Muslimgauze. He was doing some things right albeit being a bit repetitive because many still copy him to this day.
Easton Mitchell
Also one of my favorite classics by him. Fuck I listened to at least 120 hours of Muslimgauze over the years and I'm not even finished. The guy was talented and it would be pretty stupid to deny this.
Eli Smith
Terrorist.
Ethan Bennett
If you can't see past that (namely artists' retarded political opinions) I'd suggest you to stop listening to music entirely.
David Allen
I report you to the FBI for sharing and cautioning this terrorist views.
Carson Rodriguez
But user, the political aspect of Bryon Jones' music is literally the main focus.
Matthew Hernandez
Yeah but his views were so biased and nonsensical that you can discard them.
We're talking about a guy who never set foot in Israel for a retarded reason (he'd never go in a country at war) but in the same time is embracing a culture that for obvious reasons he never knew in the first time.
When you know that you learn to take his political ideas with a grain of salt.
Parker Garcia
One of the few artists that are really intoxicating.
His music is like a hypnotic drug.

Jason Parker
He saw the oppression of Palestine being neglected and made musical commentary on the Middle East. Just because he never set foot there doesn't necessarily mean he can't have a say in the matter nor does it make his views any less warranted or legitimate. I suppose I see what you're saying, but the fact is he literally uses radio broadcasts at times from Palestinian radio. He recorded all sorts of stuff from Palestinian airwaves. I wouldn't know whether he has been to the middle east or not, but in order to obtain radio frequency from Palestine I'm pretty sure he'd had to have been there, correct?
Jonathan Bennett
>in order to obtain radio frequency from Palestine I'm pretty sure he'd had to have been there, correct
Absolutely not. You can hear shortwave radio frequencies from all over the world.
In any case you should see this kind of activism as something harmless and nothing more than a gimmick that Bryn Jones tried to justify by any means possible.
>Jones frequently netted criticism for never having visited the Middle East. He explained in a 1994 interview, "I don't think you can visit an occupied land. It's the principle. Not until it's free again."[14]
Jones was also aware that an artist will always be an artist and as such shouldn't be seen as a true political activist:
>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.
—Artefakt interview[17]
>it is music
>it is up to you
What more can I say? It's all there.

The thing to keep in mind about Jones' "politics", as well as his insanely prolific musical output(to say nothing of the fact that he never held a real job and never moved out of his parents' house and a variety of other things), is that there is a high likeliness that he was legitimately autistic or had some other sort of serious mental disorder.
Many people who've been involved with him, either as record label people, record store people, close friends etc. have said as much themselves.
Taking his politics seriously never made much sense to me. Muslimgauze is outsider art.
Cooper Johnson
>Muslimgauze is outsider art
Well if he actually was autistic probably.
In any case many try to copy him and none succeed.
Nicholas Torres
Me too. I own like 10 cds and 20 vinyls by him, and I feel that I'm only scrapping the surface. I love how you pick up on some repeating themes and nuances throughout his recorded corpus, it's such an interesting experience.
Charles Lewis
Bryn Jones didn't harm a single person in his entire life. He was an extremely talented musician with some eccentric views, but in no way is he a terrorist. Fans of art should be able to look beyond political opinions, especially when they don't have an immediate baring on the music.
Leo Perez
What you can't deny however is that he has no sense of quality control
Parker Lewis
>>We're talking about a guy who never set foot in Israel for a retarded reason
He never set foot in the Middle East or in any Arab/Muslim country as far as I know.
Say what you will about the guy, he was consistent.
Caleb Clark
I'm with you 100%.
My favorite thing about him are his breaks: he cuts songs in an unexpected way. It's always surprising. I'd wish to find examples but really can't.
>he has no sense of quality control
>he was consistent
Make up your mind guys!
Leo White
>Bryn Jones didn't harm a single person in his entire life.
Technically neither did Osama.
Jacob Walker
we pro-terrorism now.
Evan Thomas
You're aware that you're talking about a fucking composer though?
Evan Gray
>Muslimgauze
I agree w/ this post.
Lucas Thomas
>My favorite thing about him are his breaks: he cuts songs in an unexpected way. It's always surprising. I'd wish to find examples but really can't.
Alms for Iraq is full of this stuff. Also volume changes, weird editing, generally fucked up production. It's a terrific album composition-wise.
>Make up your mind guys!
I meant specifically about his political views. It's correct regarding his musical output.
Although to be fair a lot of it was released after his death when he had no control over it obviously.
Michael Thomas
Someone needs to apply themselves and make a Muslimgauze chart.
>258 releases by 2016 and no end in sight
Christ.
Leo Torres
dude I know is a Muslimgauze super fan. Doubt he'd be up to it though.
Joseph Moore
I wish I could but I use Musligauze as an audio narcotic so it's not quite compatible.
Jordan Perez
>258 releases
>one person
>18 years
I thought this type of stuff only exists in grindcore.
Carter Barnes
Literally who has a better design aesthetic? Who has more production finesse?
Bryn is the man.
Christian Edwards
I thought he was dead
Jace Wilson
He is, it's a 2pac-style situation.
Matthew Hernandez
Keep the thread bumping imo.
Charles Morales
Will I become a terrorist if I start listening to them?

I've seen many a death metal cover in my life, and that picture is legit intimidating.
There is something uncanny about Muslimgauze's music in general.
Thomas Torres
Currently listening to this:
youtu.be
And I have to say you're right
Hudson Richardson
Faked his death. The Iraqi government was trying to have him killed.
It's founded in the very real mortal terror of ideological warfare.
Luke Fisher
>The Iraqi government was trying to have him killed.
But he liked Sadaam
Connor Torres
...
Luis King
More complicated than that, as far as I can tell.
The Muslimgauze brand started gaining traction in the UK wasn't necessarily seen as a good thing.
Hudson Brown
Got a read up on it?
Logan Walker
He's bullshitting lel. Bryn Jones lived and died in obscurity, his music only started attracting wider attention(and even now he's utterly obscure by most standards) from the mid-2000s onwards.
Dylan Torres
It was a cool fanfic tho
Owen Adams
>he thinks any of these are actually posthumous releases i.e. recorded and mastered before he 'died'
Do some digging. He's alive, he's just staying incognito.
Music biz hearsay more than anything. I work for an small indie label and ppl be talking.
Nathaniel Gomez
Yeah well right now you're just talking out of your ass and it isn't proving anything
Landon Davis
Vous auriez un bon bouquin sur l'histoire de la médecine au Moyen-Âge svp ?
Jace Thompson
Obviously I can't prove anything. You think I've met the guy?
People close to his music say he's alive. It'd be a really strange thing to lie about, at least.
Isaiah Richardson
Ok you've got a point.
Carson Edwards
Dude there's already a cringe thread up, this is just a simple rec thread.

Brody Wright
Nice
This is the essentials of Muslimgauze right there.
Grayson James
It would seem 1996 was his best year
Lincoln Murphy
Yep mid to late 90s (or to early 00s if you count posthumous stuff in that order).
But listening to Muslimgauze is an enterprise in itself. Don't think there is any conclusive list out there. It's abstract art in broad strokes. I found some of my favorite releases/tracks by pure chance, not to mention the ones I physically acquired.
Ryder Sanders
I kind of want to listen to everything up to at least 1998, but it's an intimidating amount of music. I'm the guy who mentioned having listened to his first ten years of music (about 15-17 hours) in the other thread. Least I can do is soldier through 1994-1996.
Joshua Young
As for myself, I abandoned this enterprise. I listen to Muslimgauze whenever I want him to take me to another land. For me listening to Muslimgauze is the same as chewing khat or smoking hashish.
His sound is intoxicating and in some ways frightening when he incorporates the tonal landscape of a country at war. Exactly the same as inhaling the exact drugs that plague these countries.
Brody Davis
My favorite song will always be A Small Intricate Box Which Contains Old Blue Opium Marzipan.
youtube.com
This LP is probably the most elaborate he made.
Brayden Harris
Well it's been fun while it lasted and we all learned that Bryn Jones isn't dead and went into hiding from Saddam.
So there's that useful piece of information that could win a Pulitzer if used correctly.
Joseph Thomas
I especially liked the part where support and evidences were provided.
Nolan Fisher
I like this meme
Noah White
Vatican Shadow might not be as prolific a Muslimgauze (what's the point anyay), at least he write good songs.
Ian Brown
What I got from this thread was that I need to listen to at least 20 more releases by him before calling it a day. I even made a list.
Benjamin Allen
This thread isn't for you. Try the Sup Forumsmor thread.
Jace Brooks
If we're on the topic of similar artists, I find Misha Mishajashvili to be somewhat similar in approach and aesthetics, only with the mid-east theme replaced with 50s era Sovietisms, and the groovy anti-western stuff replaced with vodka induced depression.
Evan Hernandez
He didn't like Saddam ?
Oliver Wright
If it speaks Arabic and has facial hair Bryn liked it, political nuances be damned.
Matthew Hernandez
>political nuances be damned
That's stupid
Benjamin Gomez
He was a musician, not a fucking columnist for HuffPo.
Nicholas Morris
That's what I'm trying to say since forever but people seem to be confused by the fact that an artist is first and foremost an artist and his activist status is secondary in that consideration.
Xavier Smith
You know a lot of people will embrace and share his views ? You know it's just more than music ?
Jayden Richardson
Considering people are stupid enough to be convinced by Oï that Nazism is a suitable answer, it doesn't surprise me.
But it's not a valid argument and it never will be.
