Muslimgauze

[Into_The_Void]

"Mullah Said" has been repressed onto vinyl by Staalplaat. Black vinyl still available, Bandcamp only distribution. The packaging is very good, I think is the same as the previous edition.
EDIT: the shipping rates are correct: 6 euro. The rest 5.42 euro are taxes, so basically the record price is almost 35 eur, which is definitely ok.

Thank you very very much for this information! I had no idea it was repressed on vinyl and I always dreamt about getting it in this format! Thanks!

Maybe reaching, but maybe not.  Doesn't seem all that improbable.  Could the base riff of "Khan Younis" be a nod to New Model Army's "Christian Militia"?

I raise this topic because I have a big doubt about the authenticity of (some of) the latest Muslimgauze releases.
I premise that I don´t really know most of the latest  (almost all of the posthumous) releases, but I stumbled here and there in some of the newer tracks and they really sound too clean and "new", in terms of sound and production, for being recorded before 1999, and I don´t think it´s just a matter of mastering or post-editing. Someone has got the same impression? I ask because I am listening now to "Shekel of Israeli Occupation" and I have got this impression. The record is very good tho.

The Extreme (Australia) CDs are getting issued in a vinyl box set and almost each album alone as well.  Possibly my favorite string a records from him.  If not, it's close.  I think mailorder only and one of the albums is only available in the box set.  unfortunately, the artwork has been changed.

Sheikh Aljama is my favorite EG, but I don't think I've ever went from Muslimgauze to that album or vice versa.  Why?  Could we guess that EG was listening to Muslimgauze, but not that Bryn was listening to EG?  They had to be familiar with each other, but did one influence the other more?

I think Muslimgauze contributed a track to the EG remix/tribute album "EN-CO-D-eSPLENDOR" (along with Coil and others paying their respects)

I've since learned what was going on with EG and Arabic influences.  The EG documentary on youtube is full of good information.

There was an early-to-mid 80s UK postpunk/funk group called C Cat Trance with a distinct Middle East and Arab influence, in sound as well as cover design. I have a couple of albums, not bad for what it is. I believe they hailed from Nottingham, but I've sometimes wondered if as a young and impressionable Mancunian, Bryn was ever exposed to them in record stores or perhaps even live? We will never know, but I like the thought of him seeing the She Steals Cars 12" cover and getting some ideas in his head...
