Intifaxa is the first part in a series of four outstanding double vinyl albums of Bryn Jones’s legendary project ‘Muslimgauze’. Previously released on CD in 1990 on the Australian cult label Extreme Music, Intifaxa is full of of heavy polyrhythm percussion with deep tribal grooves, embedded in modulated field recordings that imbue its unique tenor, on the edge of deep concentration, dread, and aerobic mysticism.
The members of the group have remained enigmatic to the public, but the driving force of Muslimgauze has always been Bryn Jones. Having previously been a graphic designer, he took up a career in music as a consequence of being a part of the ground breaking evolution of punk and industrial music in the late 70’s. Throughout the years, Jones has produced unique and challenging releases where influences transcend boundaries. Various musicians have been contributors on different releases but it has been the vision of Bryn Jones that has created the identity of Muslimgauze.
Bryn Jones has said, “The music can be listened to without an appreciation of its political origin, but I hope that after listening the person then asks why it’s called what it is and from this finds out more about the subject. It’s up to them. Go out and discover.”
