"The great thing about this CD, aside from the quality of the music, is that it represents so many different styles of Muslimgauze music. For the uninitiated listener, this is a great introduction. "Dome of the Rock," perhaps the most sensual of all Muslimgauze songs, is a perfect example of the ambient stuff (cf. "Veiled Sisters" CD), while the title track and the short version of "Hebron Massacre" are great examples of Muslimgauze's quasi-industrial, heavier, and more violent work (cf. "Vote Hezbollah" CD). A few of the later tracks on this CD lose the drive and urgency of the first few, meandering into a style reminiscent of earlier releases. But regardless, you should buy this CD. Buy it now. Click the button and buy it.First-time listeners should also check out "Gun Aramaic." Furthermore, do your research and learn the histories, massacres, injustices, and splendors that have inspired the music."
