Melt by Muslimgauze

There are four tracks in total. "Rebiana Sand Sea" is a powerful bit of sequenced distorted percussion work with sampled Middle Eastern string arrangements. "You Have Limbs and Baksheesh" is a hard, deep funk, percussive track with raunchy oud played over top. "Turn Left For Jabaliya" is also a deeply distorted, percussive track with no discernible Middle Eastern sound this time around. "Melt," the title track, has distorted beats as well but is joined with traditional North African rhythms. Melt is akin to another superb breaks album by Muslimgauze, Uzi Mahmood. This music is composed by one of the most eccentric, uncompromising and talented producers of the UK - Jones instilled an inspiring level of depth to his music.

Muslimgauze occupied a strange place in the musical world. He was a powerful, prolific innovator, releasing albums that were alternately beautiful and visceral, full of ambient electronics, polyrhythmic drumming and all kinds of voices and sound effects. The recordings earned him a devoted following in underground, experimental and industrial music circles worldwide.
