Return of Black September is certainly amongst the most beautiful work of Muslimgauze
I've ever heard. A very long track, that could be cut in several tracks as well. It all starts in a very experimental and
ambient atmosphere, while some typically Muslimgauze sounds finally point out, before the percussions cover it all, with
tribal, Eastern and industrial influences. A fantastic journey through desolated landscapes, where death and life meet in
a forgotten war. A must !
Santrafikar returns to a more classical approach of music for Bryn Jones, though it keeps very
experimental, with many samples of voices, different sounds, and some Eastern samples of music or instruments. A very
interesting work with a different approach of his usual work, giving to the very important Muslimgauze's discography a
different touch, that already appeared in some earlier works.
Three marvellous releases that will please every Muslimgauze fan, as well as all the other ones that are more inclined to
listen to some more electronic industrial and experimental oriented stuff. And Return of Black September is a must have...
