Syrinjia

Release date: April 20, 1998

The old saying "Words cannot describe" entered common use shortly after Muslimgauze started making his strange brand of twisted Middle Eastern techno music about 15 years ago. From earliest days of his career this one man political controversy has danced gleefully on the hornet's nest of prejudice and passion that has come to symbolize the issue of Palestinian statehood. Never before has such strange and unusual music been so permanently linked with such a persistent political cause. In the last few years, as the pace of change in the Middle East has accelerated, Muslimgauze has left that region "in the dust" if you will. His new works, including this one, have evolved into complex, chaotic fist fights Layer upon layer of rhythm loops compete for bandwidth with overdriven bass lines and we are left to conclude that this album really will be the death of vinyl.

"Syrinjia" consists of nine pieces with a total running time of about 40 minutes. The cover art is guaranteed to produce a headache. This release is limited to 950 copies. You cannot dance to this music!
