Date: Wed, 18 May 1994 22:24:02 -0700 From: Brent Wilcox PRESS RELEASE (5/7/94) COMING SOON From EXTREME -- MUSLIMGAUZE -- "Infidel" XEP-026 "Infidel" where Arabic ambience meets techno-industrial, is the latest release from the Manchester-based group MUSLIMGAUZE. Many a DJ has asked for a true club mix of the music of MUSLIMGAUZE, with the more adventurous already having found the infectious grooves a great cut on the dance floor. David Thrussell, of SNOG and SOMA fame, lends his talents to this release, remixing and adding his production skills to three tracks on the EP. Thrussell was the perfect choice for bringing the music of MUSLIMGAUZE to the dance floor, with his remixes maintaing the identity of the original music. Five of the 8 tracks are remixes of "Infidel", from the forthcoming "Citadel" album by MUSLIMGAUZE on EXTREME, and the remaining 3 tracks are new and previously unrelased. The "veil of peace" mix could fit in well with the current trend for tribal dance music, with the "orbesque" mix being more suited to the chill-out rooms. The "east meets west" mix segues a mix by MUSLIMGAUZE with a mix by David Thrussell and both the "arabesque" and "filmesque" mixes being of the style of music that has been the trademark of MUSLIMGAUZE. "Fakir", the "bed of nails" mix, is a stripped down version of a track previously released on "Z'ulm", XCD-012. "Salaam Mecca" is a previously unreleased track from "Intifaxa", XCD-002, the first release by MUSLIMGAUZE on EXTREME. The "Infidel" EP also brings back the meaning of extended play, with 8 tracks and 68 minutes of music. It also gives an insight into the other musical styles by MUSLIMGAUZE on EXTREME. "Infidel" will also be available as a 12" single.
