Well, here is the discography on CD, at any event: Iran Soleilmoon, 1989? Coup d'Etat/Abu Nidal Soleilmoon, 1990? Intifaxa Extreme, 1990 United States of Islam Extreme, 1991 Zul'm Extreme, 1992 Citadel Extreme, 1994 [actually recorded in 1992] Infidel Extreme, 1994 [remixes from _Citadel_] Vote Hezbollah Soleilmoon, 1993 [2 CD] Veiled Sisters Soleilmoon, 1993 Hamas Arc Staalplaat, 1993 [remixes from _Vote_ and an unreleased album] Betrayal Staalplaat, 1993 Hebron Massacre Soleilmoon, 1994 [2000 made; one 25-long track; sold as EP] Zealot Staaplaat, 1994 [2 CD; only 575 made due to distortion on discs] Blue Mosque Staaplaat, 1994 [2 CD] Drugsherpa Soleilmoon, 1994 [3" CD] Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed T.4, 1994 [1000 made; French release] Salaam Aleikum, Bastard Soleilmoon, 1995 Having not yet heard all these [I just recently completed my collection], I can say that it seems that the earlier works tend to be more 'tribal,' or more accurately use traditional instrumentation more prominently [this is especially the case with _Zul'm_, one of my favorites], while the later releases favor the sparser, more rough/electronic sound which _Veiled Sisters_ contains. _Hebron Massacre_ in many ways exemplifies this, revolving around a very harsh electronic sound interspersed with a variety of spoken word samples about the actual event. _Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed_ in many ways sounds like an extension of _Veiled Sisters_; it strikes me that at least one of _Al_'s tracks is a _VS_ remix. Anyway, hope that answers your question... PS--Muslimgauze is a 'he,' Bryn Jones by name.
