Azad by Muslimgauze

Azad" begins softly, with brain-tickling beats, deep bass grooves, bird songs, and various electrical noisefunk variations- the culmination of which is the masterful blend of sights, smells, sounds, and emotions we've come to call Muslimgauze. This album is more playful and adventurous feeling than some of the others- the dervish is not whirling quite so desperately.

Where some Muslimgauze albums feel to me like being strapped to the back of a jet-propelled camel, racing through a sandstorm across a long lonely desert floor, "Azad," is more like being on the camel by choice, and just loping through the oasis. This one doesn't peel the skin of your face back. (Not that such an effect is ever a bad thing!)
