Tip! Our first personal contact with Bryn Jones was in 1995 when the Muslimgauze album "Silknoose" came out on my Daft Records label and the contact was always excellent. He knew that Eric, who did the mastering, and I loved his music since the beginning. Later on we planned a mini CD with 4 Muslimgauze / Sonar and 4 Sonar / Muslimgauze remixes so we exchanged some audio pieces to work with and to our great surprise Bryn sent us two DAT tapes with 16 remixes in total with the message "Any plans you have with it are o.k with me".

We selected 4 takes, gave them titles, and made the versions shorter so they would fit in length with our mixes, around 12 minutes in total for each project. When the release came out in September 1998 I thought I could convince Bryn to do a kind of Sonar vs Muslimgauze mini tour His first response to this was that every day he was away from home he could not make new music and we all know how creative he was. Some venues where already contacted and when I wanted to talk to him about the backline he needed it was his father who picked up the phone and said that it was not going well with Bryn's health.

This came as a big surprise for me as I was totally not aware of this. Shortly after there was the message that he passed away on 14 January 1999 leaving us all with a devastated silence. Now 28 years later Eric and I listened to the two DAT tapes again and decided that Bryn's mixes of the Sonar material are too good to be forgotten and deserved a proper release. So here it is, the complete 16 mixes in their entire length presented as a double album.1
