Muslimgauze - Vampire Of Tehran

courtneyboman

Review by Courtney Boman

Vampire of Tehran by Muslimgauze is a haunting and captivating album that showcases the unique sound of the late experimental musician, Bryn Jones. The album is a blend of electronic and world music, with a heavy emphasis on Middle Eastern instruments and rhythms. The tracks are layered with intricate percussion, haunting melodies, and distorted vocals, creating a sense of otherworldliness and mystery.

The album is a reflection of Jones' fascination with Middle Eastern culture and politics, and his interest in exploring the intersection of Western and Eastern music. His use of traditional Middle Eastern instruments such as the oud and the darbuka, combined with electronic beats and samples, creates a sound that is both familiar and alien.

Vampire of Tehran is a deeply atmospheric album that immerses the listener in its dark and brooding world. The tracks are full of tension and suspense, with a sense of impending doom lurking in the background. Despite its experimental nature, the album is also accessible and engaging, with memorable melodies and hypnotic rhythms that stay with the listener long after the music has ended.

Muslimgauze was the main musical project of Bryn Jones (17 June 1961 - 14 January 1999), a British ethnic electronica and experimental musician who was influenced by conflicts and history in the Muslim world, often with an emphasis on the IsraeliPalestinian conflict. The name Muslimgauze is a play on the word muslin (a type of gauze) combined with Muslim, referring to Bryn Jones' preoccupation with conflicts throughout the Muslim world. His discography (96 titles at the time of his death) has nearly doubled since 1999, although this counts reissued titles as well as brand-new titles. Jones' posthumous discography is known for including many studio variations of nearly all his music. In 2014 Ibrahim Khider published a 208 page biography titled Muslimgauze: Chasing The Shadow Of Bryn Jones (with bonus CD). "Bryn Jones was not a practicing Muslim and never traveled to the Middle East. His recordings as Muslimgauze, however, qualified him as one of the Western artists most explicitly slanted in favor of the Palestinian liberation movement. Since the Manchester natives works were instrumental, most of the political statement was inherent in the packaging: witness titles such as Fatah Guerrilla, Return of Black September, Hebron Massacre, Vote Hezbollah, United States of Islam, and The Rape of Palestine. Joness output was so idiosyncratic and prolific that he would remix anything he was given to suit his purposes and recorded an album almost every week. Jones could have been a potentially controversial figure if his releases were available in anything except extremely limited editions - usually less than one thousand copies of each title. Despite their lack of prominence, Joness blend of found-sound Middle Eastern and South Asian atmospheres with heavily phased drones and colliding rhythm programs were among the most startling and unique in the noise and electronica underground. The Muslimgauze project ended tragically in 1999 when Jones died suddenly of a rare blood disease. A number of posthumous releases including (partially a collaboration with the dub collective Systemwide) and the 9-disc soon followed." - John Bush for allmusic.com
