Many people believe that the magic of Muslimgauze works best with his looping tracks - "Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed" is an incredible example of this. Originally released on the obscure French label T.4 back in 1994, "Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed" stands out as a major long lost showcase of the glorious early to mid-90's Muslimgauze period.

An intoxicating suite (75 mins) showcasing Bryn Jones' ability to create lengthy, slow burning and detailed compositions soaked with trance inducing percussive impetus and beautiful middle eastern atmospheres. The five tracks here - expanded to include a bonus track from the legendary "Ophir" compilation, released in the same year - exhibit Bryn's skill in creating lengthy and detailed compositions filled with Arabic percussion, droning keyboards, vocal samples and ethereal atmospheres.

Recorded at the Abraham Mosque, Manchester, during summer of 1994. CD in gatefold ecopak with new artwork.
