I'm interested in why there seems to be resurgence of interest in Muslimgauze now?

lots of his stuff has been reissued recently, both on cd and mp3 (tons now on iTunes). it was originally all very limited edition, many releases in runs of just 500 so there might have been some pent-up demand. and i imagine, as previously mentioned, the relative popularity of shackleton, acid arab etc. helped to some degree.

Also, mysterious circumstances around his death warrants a note: Ruled as suicide, a few months after the anti-live-performance artist announced a tour... Poisoned by a very rare fungus, a kind which has indeed been used by the Mossad in previous assassinations. Not saying one way or another, just saying.

Excuse me, but where did you ever read that his death was "ruled as suicide"? Or that this rare fungus (the name of which is?) was used by Mossad?

Yeah, Wikipedia just says he fell ill and died in hospital, nothing about any suicide ruling.

there are no accidents
On Wednesday, 30 December 1998, Bryn was rushed to the hospital in Manchester with a rare fungal infection in his bloodstream, for which he had to be heavily sedated. His body eventually shut down, and he died on 14 January 1999

Anyone got any recommendations re: stuff that sounds like Muslimgauze that's actually from the Middle-East?

How is Staalplaat still releasing his stuff? I mean, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but there must have been an tsunami of DATs gushing out of the flat the day the cops kicked the door in. Can 10,000 metres of ferric tape fuck your lungs up?

to give him his due, 'Flajelata' is a fucking fantastic record

Don't listen to 2014 me; just played it again and it's not all that. I Soulseek'd a few (lol) recent Muslimgauze releases last year and feel the same way about it as I always have: for 2-3 mins, I think, "Oh, THIS must be the gem I missed...actually...hmm, not too bad!" And then 17 minutes later I've forgotten it's even playing.

Seems like all he did, day in day out, was sit in his bedroom and record stuff. And presumably read things in newspapers about the Middle East.

he, and now the label, have also released lots of versions of previous tracks. sometimes half an album will be slightly remixed versions of things he put out 15 years earlier. hard to tell, in many cases.

He is dodgy but people can still like the noises he made I guess?

He sounds even weirder than I'd anticipated.

yeah, some of those story are out there.

dude lived with his parents his whole life and only left his room to eat meals with them. his parents didn't know about his music. one time he just disappeared for two weeks without telling them, they came home from the store or whatever and found the door wide open and him gone. he had gone to berlin to do a live gig

That hipinion thread is really interesting, thanks for posting. The tale of the sex Hotel in Japan, the guy sleeping in the bottom bunk bed, waking up every morning with flakes of dead skin from muslimgauzes feet...

Is rootsman John bolloten then? This guy I worked with had the return to City of djinn cd, the one with the green cover, and I remember playing one of the trqvks on there to death. Really clicky, hyperactive number. Don't think it was this one, but off this album...


Clearly a singular musical genius, didn't know about him also being such an unusual guy.
