"it's difficult to navigate through the piles and piles of releases Brian Jones left behind, and separate the borderline unlistenable repetitive, abrasive work-outs and the gorgeous pieces full of mystique and daring compositional ideas. this collection contains the second kind of Muslimgauze in copious amounts.
strange electronic meditations on Middle Eastern tunning and rhythm, almost catchy short beat numbers that might fit in a truly adventurous house-set, and that 13 minute long 2nd track... what a monster! it is one of the wickedest tracks EVER - thunderous echoes, half hidden, half revealed beats magically woven in layers of distortion and noise, and a lone flute riding above it all like a sea-gull in a stormy sky, flying over tumultous waves.... truly breath-taking."
