"Muslimgauze":http://mog.com/music/Muslimgauze was everything contemporary music tends to flee from: passionate, political, palpably angry, difficult, disturbing, utterly uncompromising and obsessively experimental - it's difficult to think of anyone who has managed to be more consistently and wilfully non-commercial than "Muslimgauze.":http://mog.com/music/MuslimgauzeMuslingauze was the monike...

Last week while doing a google search of 'Muslimgauze' I found "a page on the imdb website":http://imdb.com/title/tt0372784/fullcredits that states Muslimgauze has a 'non-original music' credit for the film 'Batman Begins'.I rented the 'Batman Begins' dvd but there was no Muslimgauze credit to be found, either in the dvd packaging or in the closing credits of the film.
