Russia has had an incredibly interesting and mostly uncredited underground electronic scene for some time. One of its flag bearers has been Ivan Pavlov (CoH). He has collaborated with Throbbing Gristle members Cosey Fanny Tutti and Peter Christopherson (as Soi Song). The LP is culled from 1996 recordings which were made with DAO (Andrej Dao Kolesov). DAO + CoH uses bass, guitars and custom ZX Spectrum and the results are pretty damn awesome. There is a distinct 90‘s flavour and yet it retains a freshness. ‘Propharadeia’ is a really driving track that makes me shake my body from finger to toe. ‘Oka’ is dark and sinister coming through like an Autechre / Muslimgauze hybrid, seething with eastern paranoia. ‘Sung In Sand' continues the eastern flavour with its building intricate yet subtle percussion and swooping synths. Great stuff! Ltd x 440 copies on black vinyl.

MUSLIMGAUZE - 'Intifaxa' CD (Extreme)
The sounds of Arabia are captured in confident rhythms, pulsating bass drum and an enveloping ambience. The musical creativity have progressed over the past decade to become one of the most inspiring sounds of the 90s. The Arabian countries, which are a catalyst for this release, are captured in each song. Such a picture can only be painted by Muslimgauze. "Intifaxa" offers 64 minutes of all new music, seven songs which make a complete album. It is enough to let the music speak for itself. "Intifaxa" is a contemporary vision of world music. Western and Arabic rhythms create a chilling seductive state. Australian import. RARE!!

MUSLIMGAUZE - 'Lazhareem Ul Leper' CD (Staalplaat)
The music on "Lazhareem Ul Leper" ranges from percussion instruments to atypical electronics and the skillful de-construction of ethno-traditional music. Stylistically Lazhareem straddles the line between ethno-electro releases like Silknoose for its pervasive use of Indo-Pak music melded with Persian and Mid-East; along with more Industrial releases like Izlamaphobia and Blue Mosque for its occasionally tight, near-mechanical loops. Since 1995, the masters for Lazhareem Ul Leper languished in Staalplaat's vaults when it should have been put out for immediate appreciation by fans. This work of art is now available on CD, and not a moment too soon! Ltd x 700 copies in a digipak.
