Release Notes:
Bryn Jones died January 14, 1999. The man best known as Muslimgauze was
37 years old, and at the peak of his career. During his short life he
recorded an astonishing number of albums, some 200 at last count, a great
many of them in years immediately preceding his death. Indeed, his output
was so great that his labels couldnÆt keep up with the virtual flood of
music he produced. ItÆs no wonder new material continues to surface so
long after his passing.
ôUzi Mahmoodö was recorded to satisfy a specific request. Soleilmoon wanted
a 12 inch single that DJs could play in nightclubs. The idea was to introduce
Muslimgauze to a potentially enormous new audience. The request was made in
the autumn of 1999, in a phone call lasting less than five minutes; Bryn was
never one for small talk. He was all business, and he could record a complete
album in three or four days, sometimes faster. Two weeks after agreeing to
record a disco album for Soleilmoon, ôUzi Mahmoodö was delivered to the label.
But instead of the agreed on two or three tracks, he sent an eleven song compact
disc, followed a week later by a 90 minute digital audio tape containing the
entire CD plus two more pieces. Four songs were eventually selected for the
experiment, and in the spring of 1998 a dirty-and-dubby 12" EP was released.
Two more songs were later used to replace a pair of corrupted tracks on the
master tape for ôHussein Mahmood Jeeb Tehar Gassö, released on CD in 1999.
The music was well received by fans, but the hoped-for dance floor revolution
never happened, and the little record with the unconventional beats went out
of print a few years later.
Fast forward to the present: The year is 2010 and the four song EP has been
out of print for more than five years, seven more songs lie waiting in the
vault, still unreleased, and the two tracks tacked onto ôHussein Mahmood
Jeeb Tehar Gassö are the only ones in wide circulation. Which is why
Soleilmoon is so very pleased to finally be releasing all thirteen songs
together on one record. ôUzi Mahmoodö is 90 minutes of the sexiest, most
booty-shakinÆ Muslimgauze music ever heard. We released a limited edition
gatefold triple LP in November. Now itÆs available as a two CD set. Disc one
has the eleven tracks from the original master, disc two has the two extra
songs that came on the DAT. The cover art is by plazm design (plazm.com).
