It wasn’t his substantial Muslimgauze output that distinguished Manchester producer Bryn Jones from his experimental and industrial peers before his premature death in 1999. It was his yoking of ambient electronics, polyrhythmic drumming and myriad samples and effects to an explicitly pro-Palestinian stance, with Jones citing Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon as the inspiration for his first music. Subsequent albums were similarly inspired by political events.
