Dedicated to a united Arab response.
After it was known that there was coming a peace treaty between Israel and the PLO, Muslimgauze decided to record a completely new album, to replace the announced release 'Shekel Of Israeli Occupation' (originally dedicated to Yasser Arafat) by 'Betrayal'. Never a title was more clearer then this one. It shows how little love is left for the PLO and it will drive many more Palestinian's in the arms of the more extreme organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
'Betrayal' (dedicated to a United Arab Response) shows the power of Muslimgauze: events in Middle East inspire him to combine eastern percussion and western technology and show the world where he stands: on the side of the oppressed Palestinian's. Through subtle beauty and apparent easiness, aggression comes out of Muslimgauze. 'Betrayal' is no different. Their laid-back approach should be noted by those interested in ambient or chill out music.

(Press release from Staalplaat.)
After having accentuated his resonant researches of a more traditional music, Bryn Jones comes back with an album composed of samples and almost-hypnotic loops, to particularly intoxicating effect. Pieces seem to make up part of some trance like narcotic, gradually your mind detaches itself from your body. Waving, it frees itself in diaphanous sound, to melt in the ethereal spaces of voluptuous pleasure. All seems of little importance, the Sun is within reach of your hand and your breath makes the light of the stars vibrate. The sweetness of the perfumes takes you to where the righteous and faithful live, here the reality stops and the fantasy begins... silken ambience and psychotropic journeys. A completely alluring success for the initiated.
(review by Cyrille Sottile/Concept)
The first Muslimgauze release after the initial peace agreement between Israel and the PLO in late 1993, Betrayal has a memorable cover featuring the handshake between Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat, with its title boldly, simply printed on it. The album dedication itself is "to a united Arab response," so expecting the album, recorded mere days after the handshake, to be a new explosion of musical anger would be the logical conclusion. As it happens, though, Betrayal isn't that far removed from Veiled Sisters; while not as minimalist, if not repetitive, as that particular release, Betrayal relies on the same basic tools of gentle, steady electronic percussion and low-level bass and keyboard shadings. The most immediate changes lie with the various vocal samples on some of the tracks; while not immediately intelligible per se, you get scraps and hints from them, expressing a range of negative emotions regarding the initial peace pact. At the same time, often a subtle but nonetheless effective sense of omen and dire warning lurks throughout the music; the use of bass tones in particular doesn't seem that far removed from what Massive Attack eventually came up with years later on Mezzanine. Also, as with Veiled Sisters, even the most low-key of changes has a large effect in context, such as the metallic clattering added to the electronic pulsing on the second "Nabius." Overall, the feeling is meditative; this is the kind of music you could put on for a quiet moment, but it's not exactly easy listening in any sense of the word.

Imagine if Bryn were alive nowadays... Today he would have a lot of material. Wars continue and we live in infinite chaos. All of his work is magical music. I really believe that his mysterious death was someone's work. I think that he was a unique artist and that he was silenced after all his messages. REST IN POWER
M055@d
He would've had a crazy amount of material if he didn't die before 9/11. I can imagine him attracting a lot more notoriety if he were alive and making music post-9/11. He probably would've ended up on Fox News lol
@@The-Real-Yakub Thats nonsense. Vatican Shadow makes very similiar music with the exact same themes and aesthetics as Muslimgauze and i don't see him storming the charts or becoming extremely popular either. This is just not music for the masses.
Yes sure, they killed him because he was selling super obscure electronic music that was released in limited editions and never had any airplay at all. Take off your tinfoil hat! Nobody killed Bryn Jones because he wasn't importent enough and didn't have nearly enough reach for someone deeming it necessary to kill him.
@@hanshandkante5055Bryn would be a legendary artist for the last decade though, if he lived.. Not so for VS
Can't believe this was made in 1993.... it sounds more original and advanced than half the shit that comes out today
Muslimgauze's music really has aged better than anything I can think of from that period.
A lot of the electronic I listen to comes from the 90's, back when I first got into it. There is a lot more these days, but it's diluted.
Those interested in this era/style of Muslimgauze recordings are urged to check out his other similarly-themed albums :
-Drugsherpa
-Veiled Sisters
-Fatah Guerilla
-Mullah Said
-Gun Aramaic
-Sandtrafikar
-Untitled (ten)
“An Eye for an Eye,” which is only on vinyl, and “Kaliskinazure” as well! Peace.
Thank you so much!
Got here from 'Mullah Said' and someone there recommended me 'Veiled Sister' and this album.
I understand that 'Mullah Said' is different and came later yet this hit me on a whole different level.
Would you recommend listening to them in order or it does it matter?
I could actually listen to Muslimgauze all day.
I actually did that for months while I was depressed once
@@billyjanemarinkovich me too small world
Me too.
listened to this album over 50 times and still not tired of it! Awesome.
Had it on replay all day today working on stuff and it's my absolute favorite!
This is my youth, I was have it on chrome tapes & CD. In my sixteen years old this music sounded every evening & nights in the long autumn months...
The sounds and rhythms on this album are incredible.
Love this album, it has become my go to ambient now
relatively calming one
Same!
that bass tone is just absolutely devastating..Muslimgauze is unmatched.
The sounds of distrust, deceit and discord --- the seeds of Betrayal.
The valley of Tears
the path of deception
Guys? Guys! For those wondering or complaining about multiple versions of "a song", I mean, this is a niche genius doing his thing. That's what it is.
That "riff" with chorus effect on "Ramallah" is almost post-punk.
Great sound quality! Thank´s for this m8, you rule!
trusting this to be the beginning of long and lasting, not to mention deep, relationship ~
thank you for upload!
Thank You.
Just by reading the title of this album and listening to it I felt the Northamerican spirit 🇺🇲 : Betrayal, murder, genocide and stealing petrol from Midwest while claiming "freedom". 🤝🐍
*Sound is good BTW.
its have pain
but silence
Best muslimgauze album
the oslo accords were an absolute betrayal, indeed.
Amazing...
Amazing work :)
the album cover is scary
great
amazing ..
RIP Bryn Jones
"I would never go to an occupied land, others shouldn't. Zionists living off Arab land and water is not a tourist attraction. To have been in a place is not important. So you can't be against apartheid unless you have been in South Africa? You cannot be against the Serbs killing Muslims in Bosnia unless you have been there? I think not."

This is excellent music which reminds of some of the music of Brian Eno
Eno was an influence on Bryn.

🤣@@bloodlinegenesis
damn
Very cool.
Anyone know what this drum machine this is? Cheers!
most of the percussion he played. all though he may have used 808 in this tune also
He had a Proteus module and drum machines were used as sample triggers. A lot of percussion he played himself, including ethno percussion and drum kits. This album was recorded at the Abraham Moss Centre with John Delf. His nephew mentioned that he had a Doctor Groove machine... But when Bryn passed, the family sold or gave away a lot of the gear because they did not know what it was.
@@feedbackmonitor8057 thanks for the insight mate
All the electronic drums are from the Roland r8 and I’m assuming , with the Roland r5 he was sequencing the synth lines from a proteus world module
Country : Netherlands ? The label yes, but the artist was British.
This is the purpose of the Country origin section in Discogs.
Bryn Jones geb 17 06 1961 in Manchester
why u putting this in my alligatorythm today, google?
Eddie vedder’s favorite band
i dont get it, like, i mean no disrispect i just want to understand this type of music with some arab photos. Can someone explain to me?
Same
What is there to understand?
Kenneth this dude is bad ass he is dead now but he made all this stuff in the studio and put out hundreds of albums he had autism and was obsessed with occupied Palestine
Probably Asperger’s and not some form of full-blown autism. I asked this question of the estate, and it said that Bryn didn’t have any spectrum disorder or any other mental illness, but the intensity with which he talked about the Palestinian cause and the enormous output he produced on the subject would suggest otherwise. Peace.
Doubt he had autism or aspergers. If you listen to his interviews, he is lucid and coherent. How he behaved around people depended on how they acted around him. If he did not like the person next to him, he would shut down. Otherwise, he was open and engaging. He liked football and Manchester United was his favorite team, to the chagrin of his family.
He had a condition called “I’m a total asshole”
@@sidbullet1 at least he wasn't born with a condition called zionism.
@@blo7332 Zionism is simply the belief that Jews have a right to their homeland, which they are indigenous to. Judaism existed millennia before Islam was invented, and those who consider Zionism a dirty word are happy to justify 22 Arab Muslim theocratic ethnostates that currently exist. Watch your hypocrisy there
influence on Boards of Canada do you think at all? not in theme but perhaps in style a lil?????
seumas Broderick Not remotely. There is nothing similar about them.
@@ZombieLincoln666 BoC - Gyroscope.
The rhythms.
@@ZombieLincoln666 your opinion is valid. I differ.
@@sawtoothiandi to an extent i could see a connection but not explicitly.. that eery vibe they do have in common.
@@InBasements its like if Boards of Canada were into islamic mysticism and geo-politics instead of psychedelia and 70s counter-culture, perhaps?!

Yu got me into a wormhole now haha
Thanks bud :)
I really enjoy his Sound. But - sorry to say this, the tracks of the first 35 minutes are all based on the same Soundsetup and the same Pattern and the same harmony.
Sounds to me like he improvised the more or less same track a few times but released it as different pieces of music.
If the intention was to create one flow over a few tracks, there are too less variations to keep it interesting.
different flavours of the same sound across the whole album is what makes it so good imo
Why are there different versions of the same songs? I really like all of them but it would be a much more cohesive and compact listen without the extra ones.
At first I thought it was a glitch because I have actually had it happen before that I rip a CD to my computer and each file ends up with a partial repeat of the same track after it is over.
He often gave the same title to dozens of compositions. Peace.
A more compact listen. Like taking a more compact shit. A more compact listen. A listen. A compact listen. A good ol fashioned listen. Take a listen. It's a good cohesive listen.
It's called a "concept album". Even operatic composers like Wagner made use of repetition and leitmotifs to set tones and associate bits of music with certain events, characters, moods etc.
Approaching a basic concept from different angles is a common theme in ambient electronics and other free-form types of music.
@@gstrdms Exactly! It's interesting to say that this technique is a mind space in that it's not for everyone.
I heard of Opeth (old Opeth) and never really was into them because my taste at the time was different.
Then one day I had a playlist on random from different metal songs and one of their tracks came up and I was like.. what band is this...wait
how come I never got into them before until now. And it was a wrap. They used that same technique which aggravates some metal heads yet for the one who digs them they start to understand and feel the effects of repetition.
This music is dope. Free Palestine from HAMAS, and hold a rave there.
hamas and zions
