BRYN JONES died January 14, 1999. The man best known as MSULIMGAUZE was 37 years old, and at the peak of his career. During his short life he recorded an astonishing number of albums, some 200 at last count, a great many of them in years immediately preceding his death. Uzi Mahmood was recorded to satisfy a specific request. Soleilmoon wanted a 12-inch single that DJs could play in nightclubs. The idea was to introduce Muslimgauze to a potentially enormous new audience. Two weeks after agreeing to record a disco album for Soleilmoon, Uzi Mahmood was delivered to the label. But instead of the agreed on two or three tracks, Jones sent an eleven song compact disc, followed a week later by a 90-minute digital audio tape containing the entire CD plus two more pieces. Four songs were eventually selected for the experiment, and in the spring of 1998 a dirty-and-dubby 12-inch EP was released. Two more songs were later used for Hussein Mahmood Jeeb Tehar Gass, released on CD in 1999. The music was well received by fans, but the hoped-for dance floor revolution never happened, and the little record with the unconventional beats went out of print a few years later. Fast forward to the present: the four-song EP has been out of print for more than five years, seven more songs are still unreleased, and the two tracks from Hussein Mahmood Jeeb Tehar Gass are the only ones in wide circulation. Which is why Soleilmoon is so very pleased to finally be releasing all thirteen songs together on one record. Uzi Mahmood is 90 minutes of the sexiest, most booty-shakin' Muslimgauze music ever heard. It stretches luxuriously across three LPs-two running at 33 RPM and one at 45 RPM-presented in an lavish, no-expense-spared gatefold jacket, and is limited to 500 copies.
