His music for me was at times ambient, violent, dub induced, experimental and meloncholy. Even though I cannot agree with his beliefs I respected the fact that he did not preach his ths thoughts or push the issues on the listener. He left it up to you whether you wanted to know more. However, I also respected him to have such beleifs. He stood up for what he beleived was right. I may not agree but I can respect conviction. Later, this weekend I will review a few Muslimgauze releases I own. I will do this in respect and in the hope that someone who is not familliar will want to become aquainted. He will be missed. -daniel > The first M/Gz related release I purchased was Occupied > Territories : the double CD of remixes (because I had moral > hiccups buying his records and thus putting money toward his > cause) but I soon relented and got a few more of his works.
