Notes
Tray sleeve reports wrong timings. Correct ones are on the tracklist.
Sleeve Notes:
Muslimgauze started at the time of Israel's invasion of Lebanon. As interest in the political situations of the Middle East evolved alongside interest in it's music. Since then support for the P.L.O. has been a source of influence upon the music of Muslimgauze, more so than of the area. From political situations, Muslimgauze create a musical response.
Each piece of music is influenced by a political fact. This recording is dedicated to Palestinians killed by Israel on "Allthnen As Aswad" (Black Monday) at Temple Mount, occupied Jerusalem.
Manufactured and marketed in North America by ASL (Associated Soleilmoon Label) under licence from Extreme Australia.
United States of Islam is a very percussion driven album and although all the tribal percussion and overall sound is really nice, the tracks themselves just seem to go nowhere making the whole album rather pointless. The album is full of yes, now it is coming moments but it just never comes.
