Three Tune Tuesday #197 .:. Muslimgauze (pt.1)

Muslimgauze occupied a strange place in the musical world. He did not performed live, did not seek popularity; since mid-1980s he was hiding in his home studio in Manchester, UK, and digging a hole in his own unique direction. One of the iconic names in the world of electronic music and the industrial genre. His creative legacy is enormous - after his death in early 1996, various labels continued to explore and publish his archives, and of course, there appeared a lot of archival compilations and reissues of his old albums. The Guinness Book of Records even labelled him as the most prolific "dead" composer.

The first piece I selected is from 'Ingaza' album, it is very short - just 1:16.

A beautiful melody with a distinct Arabic flavor that captures you and pushes into the whirling dervish dance - but suddenly turns out it is destroyed, scratched and interrupted by industrial inserts, modernized, upgraded, intertwined with modern realities and current perception of life. In this track - as in a water drop - all Muslimgauze mastermind can be seen. Its a perfect track for the first acquaintance with this artist. The bonus and reward for all attentive followers who got here!
