I posted about Muslimgauze earlier this year so I won't get into his background again. If you want to know a little about him reference
the earlier post...In fact,
the comment in response to that post is even better and does him more justice than I did. I've been slowly downloading the portions of his catalog that I do not already have from emusic. They have about 34 titles but if you want to go completest you will be looking at upwards of 200...
Iran is only three tracks long but packs in about 35 minutes of music across those tracks. The two strongest tracks are the "epics": "Lion of Kandahar" and "Intifadah" (included below for download). The first clocks in at over 10 minutes and the second at 17-plus. It's not just quantity, though. Each track has a really simple, kick-drum-driven beat with a variety of percussion loops, drones and what seem like found sounds. There is a real exhilarating, improvised feeling to both of these mixes which make it hard to believe they are the work of one guy armed with some percussion instruments and synthesizers...Muslimgauze:
