Drugsherpa

DRUG SHERPA is a 3" CD single.
Recording information: The Abrham Mosque, Manchester.
Released as a single track, 3" CD, Drugsherpa is one of the most perfectly realized Muslimgauze efforts. It's worth every second. Showcasing the roots of dub, dance, and drone that inform so much of his work, Bryn Jones here creates an intoxicating blend, with shuddering keyboards and strings echoing deep into the mix over a murmuring bass pulse and a rising and falling series of dancebeats. In perfect counterpoint to all of this is a ringing bell, which chimes out like a signal throughout the song. Sounding like an imaginary soundtrack for a futuristic Arabic city, Drugsherpa remains a singular standout in the near endless Muslimgauze catalog. ~ Ned Raggett
