The third installment in Staalplaat's ongoing series of Muslimgauze singles drawn from a single unlabelled DAT tape - one of the innumerable cassettes that Bryn Jones dispatched to his labels without titles, track listings, or any identifying marks beyond the music itself. Limited to 200 hand-numbered copies on silver vinyl with screenprinted cover. The series - comprising three 7" singles and one 12" - offers a concentrated window into the working methods of one of experimental music's most prolific and elusive figures. Jones was known to produce and send material at a pace that outstripped any label's ability to release it, and the mountain of unreleased DATs he left behind at the time of his death in January 1999 has become as legendary as his official discography. Over twenty-five years later, Staalplaat continues to unearth recordings that demonstrate just how restlessly inventive his output was, even in its most apparently casual form.

Where Single# One revealed an unexpectedly jaunty keyboard figure riding over Jones' trademark percussive loops, and the expanded 12" AR 71 pushed deeper into layered vocal collage and brickwalled hand drums, Single # Three continues the excavation with two further untitled pieces from the same source tape. The tracks are identified only by their position on the original DAT - "side A track 5" and "side B track 6" - preserving the raw, unmediated quality of the material as Jones intended it to reach the outside world: anonymous, stripped of context, pure sound.

This absence of titles and framing is itself quintessentially Muslimgauze. Throughout his career, Jones insisted that the music should function as a direct transmission - political, spiritual, visceral - unmediated by the apparatus of explanation. That the recordings still communicate with such force and singularity, surfacing decades after their creation from an unmarked tape, is testament to the depth of the vision that drove this most singular of artists.
