"In 1996 Syntactic released an untitled 7" single using tracks created by Muslimgauze in 1993. A limited edition, it became one of those missing pieces. Then last year Klanggalerie announced a CD containing those two tracks plus a number of other ones from the same sessions - the number kept changing, but the final release has a total of 15. Why they hadn't seen the light of day before is a mystery to me, as is their sudden reappearance - which I hope was not a cynical move.
My first Muslimgauze release was a second hand copy of Veiled Sisters pointed out to me by Darrin Verhagen at Peril 305 - so probably about 1996. I was captivated by the sound, the drifting voices, that string motif, the subtle percussion. While I enjoy the other various moods of Muslimgauze, that one remains my favourite and one which I hadn't heard as fully in other releases (though the reviews suggest Maroon and Betrayal are along the same lines). Until this disk came to me at least.
This is obviously from the same sessions as Veiled Sisters and even slight re-workings of some of the tapes, giving the album the feel of a remix/third sister. The spoken samples are more prominent on a number of short tracks (3 are about a minute or less, including 18 seconds (5) of a singer who appears elsewhere throughout the Muslimgauze catalogue), but most of the album treads that blissful, shimmering drift that draws you into its ambience. The slow pulsing soft drum and bass, bells, drones and horns, souk-talk all float perfectly over those strings.
The last track, though, is odd - a voice talks about the black box flight recorder on flight 593 and then continues with 4 minutes of scraping, metallic noise. My first, incorrect supposition was that 593 was the Lockerbie 'crash': which could have made this a political statement. As it is I don't know what the flight was,  making this hard to read: whether as a comment for or against terrorism or just a sonic experiment. In musical terms it makes a harsh coda to the previous mood.
This album complements Veiled Sisters beautifully, making subtle changes and taking different directions to that album. Why ever it lay hidden and came back, it is a delight to have it now available."
