Planet!

NU Lp for RS
2025 stock "NU Lp for RS marks No UFO’s first proper LP (as Soft Coast on Spectrum Spools was considered a demo) and having been diagnosed with Carpal tunnel syndrome, will likely be the last of its kind. Eschewing the heavy gestures of today’s music…

Tandoor Dog
*2025 Stock* "In 1998 Staalplaat and Muslimgauze were on a conquering spirit. Bryn Jones (1961-1999), the man behind Muslimgauze delivered new works, almost on a weekly basis and was more than happy to see them released straight away. Unlike others, …
Mohammad Ali Jinnah

Jerusalaam
*2025 Stock* Jerusalaam plus the two extra tracks make up unused material from the Return of Black September sessions. The contrast, even for someone with as wide a range as Muslimgauze had, is stunning. The original Jerusalaam fits in with much of B…
Speaking With Hamas
*2025 Stock* 'Speaking With Hamas' was compiled by Bryn Jones himself early 1997 and he thought it would be nice to include a new, previously unreleased track. In his words:"It's for people who don't deserve it". "A tourist asked Ali muhamad, a secon…
Al Jar Zia Audio
If ‘Satyajit Eye’ (which is released at the same time on Staalplaat) only blinks at Indian culture, the album ‘Al Jar Zia Audio’ does this with both eyes open. It is known that Bryn Jones, the man behind Muslimgauze, looked further than the Palestini…
Jebel Tariq
Jebel Tariq has strong hand drum beats throughout but still maintains a very moody feel. It was undoubtedly these very elements that lead Jeremy Keens to state it was"balanced between the ambient and beat sides" of Bryn's work. It goes beyond just th…
Sulaymaniyah
*2025 Stock* “Sulaymaniyah is part of Staalplaat’s ongoing Muslimgauze archive series, masters originally submitted in 1997, then “replaced” by what became Vampire of Tehran released early in 1998. It was not uncommon for the prolific Bryn Jones to r…
Jackal The Invizible

Demo
Demo is much in line with Jones's 1980s recordings, a set of primitive percussion tracks assembled from hand drums, chimes and simple effects, and possessed of a coldly malevolent focus. The Wire

Return of Black September
The excellent Black September, a continuous, five-part, 68-minute epic, is as formidably competent as ever, although more for the brooding, surreal nature of its soundworld than for its grooves, which here sound almost subsidiary. The soul samples an…
Turn On Arabic American Radio
The relationship between Bryn Jones's music as Muslimgauze and the track/album titles he would provide (sometimes right on the tapes he would send in for release, but often determined later, sometimes even giving two different pieces months apart the…
