c'mon, the difference between Uzect Plaush and New Maps Of Hell is hardly
THAT great. i like 'em both, they're both very similar. if you're so
trendy that you have to buy stuff on Apollo and shun an "industrial" (ha!)
label like Extreme, then so be it.

that's sort of true. here's my take on Muslimgauze: there are basically 3
periods. the first is the really early stuff like iran and coup d'etat.
very raw, primal and pounding. good stuff, but not my favorite. the second
period is the first batch on extreme: intifaxa, us of i, and zul'm. this is
much better, production-wise, and for a textural, atmospheric artist like
muslimgauze, it's an important factor. this is my favorite period.
intifaxa is a little dull, but us of i is great: crazed rhythms. zul'm is
actually fairly different: more electronic, more atmospheric, more laidback.
essential listening.
the last period is the soleilmoon stuff - most of this sounds pretty lazy.
i like "veiled sisters" despite the fact that a lot of it sounds like machines
on autopilot, but i haven't heard anything else recently that really floated
my boat. i'm curious about his new batch of stuff on extreme, to see
whether it sounds like the other stuff at all.
so there you go. "heard one, heard 'em all" is a bit of an
oversimplification... i'd make it "heard three, heard 'em all."
over and out
