Their first release was the compilation 'Euphoria 10' that consisted mostly
of their tracks under various aliases. Their sound varied from orb-like
ambient to dark ambient/techno or something like that (realaudio samples of
this CD are available at www.44100.com).

'Songs of a Dumb World' on Stalplaat is their debut full length CD. Good
ambient album: rich sound textures, some vocal samples and some nice
melodical pieces(some Orb influence still feels here).

The second, "Trip Trap" (on Russian 'Exotica' label) is very rhythmical and
can be compared to Autechre and Pan Sonic. Muslimgause remixed tracks from
this album, but I think the original versions are a little better and the
tracks that Muslimgause have chosen for remixing are not the best ones IMO.
If you like the remix album you should check out Trip Trap.

The third is Muslimgause remixes and the latest, 'Time End Place' (also on
Exotica) is very noisy and experimental, the guys got rid of all the
rhythmical and structural elements in there music. I don't like such king of
sound so I managed to listen to this CD only once :)
