Artist<s> : Apollon/Muslimgauze
Title: Dark thoughts


For a long while I avoided this CD.  Mostly because no one ever seemed
to mention it.  One day on a whim I decided to get it and was very
surprised.   It is a strange release.  Overall it is dark ambient with
odd beats, textures, voices and synth work.  For the most part it
appears to be a true collaboration.  The muslimgauze sound does not
completely take over.  Instead it compliments and adds to the feel of
the disc.  The tracks have movement and seem to have a purpose.  The
arabic influence is not that dominant instead the CD has a dark tone.
The name fits perfectly.  Definitely a release to seek out if you like
the darker side of electronics.   Btw, it is about 79 min long.
