  2. From 1982 to 1999, Muslimgauze released over 80 albums. Blinded Horses (1985, Limited Editions)

  3. In 1983, they released 2 full-length records; in 1994, they released 10. Flajelata (1986, Limited Editions)

  4. Many were released on cassette or limited-run vinyl in batches of 100. Hajj (1986, Limited Editions)

  5. Others came out on hard-to-find European labels. Jazirat-ul-Arab (1987, Limited Editions)

  6. Muslimgauze also released more than 20 DATs, CDRs and EPs. Abu Nidal (1987, Limited Editions)

  7. And more than fifty singles, collaborations, and split releases. Coup d’Etat (1987, Permis de Constuire)

  8. That’s not to mention the remix albums and collections. Iran (1988, Staaltape)

  9. At the height of Bryn Jones’ productivity, in the mid-1990s, he was producing an album nearly once a week. United States of Islam (1991, Extreme)

  10. One collaborator says he’d expect one remix of a track from Jones and receive fifteen. Z’ulm (1992, Extreme)

  11. The head of the Staalplaat label believes that for every album Muslimgauze actually submitted… Vote Hezbollah (1993, Solielmoon)

  12. …as many as 20 were recorded. Hamas Arc (1993, Staalplaat)

  13. This, of course, only applies to Jones’ work when he was alive. Emak Bakia (1994, Concrete)

  14. After his death, he became much more productive. Citadel (1994, Extreme)

  15. Various labels have been releasing previously unavailable material steadily since 1999. Infidel (1994, Extreme)

  16. This has resulted in at least 50 more albums, remixes, singles, etc. Nile Quartra (1994, Jara)

  17. Not to mention box sets. So many box sets. Hebron Massacre (1994, Solielmoon)

  18. His total discography passed the 200 mark about eight years after he died. Blue Mosque (1994, Staalplaat)

  19. So you’ll understand if I’ve been unable to build a complete collection. Drugsherpa (1994, Staalplaat)

  20. There was also Jones’ habit of giving the same title to multiple tracks. Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed (1994, T.4)

  21. Often on the same record. Salaam Alekum, Bastard (1995, Solielmoon)

  22. Apparently, some people are completists about this. Maroon (1995, Staalplaat)

  23. Frankly, I just don’t have the energy. Occupied Territories (1995, Staalplaat)

  24. I have 64 Muslimgauze albums. Silknoose (1995, Daft)

  25. Or, to put it another way, less than a third of the total. Izlamaphobia (1995, Staalplaat)

  26. I’m a year older than Bryn Jones was when he died… No Human Rights for Arabs in Israel (1995, Staalplaat)

  27. …and I’ve managed to listen to 140 fewer Muslimgauze albums than he recorded. Gun Aramaic (1996, Solielmoon)

  28. Some people would let this make them feel inadequate. Gun Aramaic Part 2 (1996, Solielmoon)

  29. Not me, though. Azzazin (1996, Staalplaat)

  30. When asked about his remarkable fecundity, Jones replied: Bandit Queen E.P. (1996, PiTB)

  31. “As for too much, I say not enough.” Return of Black September (1996, Staalplaat)

  32. Easy for him to say. Uzbekistani Bizarre and Souk (1996, Staalplaat)

  33. As much as I defend the great variety in his music, there is an awful lot of it. Arab Quarter (1996, Staalplaat)

  34. For instance, right now, we’re only halfway through… Gulf Between Us (1997, Solielmoon)

  35. …this list of just the Muslimgauze albums I own. Beyond the Blue Mosque (1997, Staalplaat)

  36. And you probably aren’t even paying attention anymore. Narcotic (1997, Staalplaat)

  37. Which, honestly, is probably a good thing for me. Ja’al Ab Dullah (1997, Solielmoon)

  38. If you’re reading this, you’re probably not paying attention to what I’m saying. Zouriff Moussa (1997, Staalplaat)

  39. On the other hand, album names and song titles were often the place where Muslimgauze would display… Farouk Enjineer (1997, Solielmoon)

  40. …a sense of humor otherwise difficult to detect. Vampire of Tehran (1998, Staalplaat)

  41. Muslimgauze’s politics were deadly serious. Lahore & Marseilles (1998, Solielmoon)

  42. And the liner notes were usually devoted to earnest explanations of the political realities of Palestine. Mort aux Vaches (1998, Staalplaat)

  43. So it was only in the album titles and song names… Mazar-I-Sharif (1998, Solielmoon)

  44. …that Bryn Jones displayed his playful side. Fedayeen (1998, Staalplaat)

  45. It was usually in the form of clever references… Azure Deux (1998, Staalplaat)

  46. …or multilingual puns… Hussein Mahmood Jeeb Tehar Gass - released the day after Bryn Jones died (1999, Solielmoon)

  47. …but sometimes it was just elaborate, slightly silly titles. Fakir Sind (1999, Solielmoon)

  48. Muslimgauze once released an entire album… Lo-Fi India Abuse (1999, BSI)

  49. …dedicated to the Iranian women’s Olympic ping-pong team. Untitled (2000, Klanggalerie)

  50. Who were required to play and practice wearing heavy chadors. Sufiq (2000, Solielmoon)
