More Info “Der Westen gewann die Weltherrschaft nicht durch die Überlegenheit seiner Ideen, Werte oder Religion, sondern eher durch die Überlegenheit in der Anwendung organisierter Gewalt. Westliche Menschen vergessen diese Tatsache oft, Nicht-Westler nie.“ [Samuel P.Huntington, Harvard Professor] [aus dem Innencover von ‚Alms for Iraq’,]. Visuell & zitatemässig passend zum Irak-Konflikt auf den neusten Stand gebracht, präsentiert SOLEILMOON hier ein recht experimentelles Album von 1995 ... 26 teils furiose tracks mit starken Noise- & Cut-Up-Anteilen und schnellen Beats.... This is the oriental Industrial! “Bryn Jones, AKA Muslimgauze, recorded this album in December 1995, just three years before his early and unexpected death at the age of 38. The master tape he submitted ran over 77 minutes, which meant two minutes had to be edited out to make this 75 minute CD. Todd Chatalas at Northwestern Inc. did such a masterful editing job you can’t tell anything’s missing. In the last years of his life Bryn acquired as much of the latest technology for his home studio as he could lay his hands on, and the advances and developments in his music reflected his growing proficiency with his new equipment. “Alms for Iraq” therefore has many of the hallmark sounds of the late-era Muslimgauze recordings already released, with abrupt starts and stops, swooping transitions and layer upon layer of samples and rhythms. There are nevertheless still plenty of surprises. Ever the groundbreaker, Bryn never recorded the same album twice. The packaging for this CD is a 6-panel 5.5-by-8 inch tall folder, with a cover photograph by Susilo Hadi, licensed from Getty Images for a cool $690.00. It shows a pair of feet poised above a pair of flip-flops bearing the words “ISRAEL” and “USA” printed on the soles. The inside panels include a number of pictures, some with strong or disturbing content, collected from various websites dedicated to publicizing the conflicts in Iraq and Palestine.” [press release] www.soleilmoon.com
