Who Said, Port Said

 

NØ sez:
     What could be a better excuse for me to post up something by one of my favorite bands Muslimgauze, the non de guerre of Bryn Jones.

Bryn used his musick to paint a statement about the conditions in the Arab world. He used the artwork of his covers to paint a picture of rebellion. Although an outsider from Manchester, England, Bryn faithfully & honestly presented those same feeling of unrest through his music.

The ultra-prolific Bryn Jones was infatuated with the politics, music, sound, & feel of the Middle East. Almost every single release of his has sampled Middle Eastern speech, percussion, instruments, etc. to make some of the most incredible music out there, ranging from noise to dub to hip hop to ambient to.. well, whatever Port Said is.

Since this is a very limited release, I thought it would be excellent to post here. Although it is named after Egypt’s famous port, Port Said is unique among Jones’ releases in that it's one of few Muslimgauze releases with absolutely NO Middle Eastern influence.
