‘Jaagheed Zarb’ continues where ‘Jah-Meerab’ left off, introducing almost funky hip-hop beats, interspersed with vocal snippets, and on the first track a static-y loop and eerie Middle Eastern flute whispering through it all. In case you forgot about his signature terrifying low-end, it permeates both albums in abundance, especially on the minimal bowel-rumbling ‘Fazal Mahmood On Juke,’ the Prodigy-on-a-broken-spring track ‘Turn Left For Jabaliya’, and amid the laidback, rhythmic assassin, call-to-arms ‘Iranian Silkworm’. A few more surprises lurk on this album including the space at the end of ‘Fazal Mahmood’ -- escaping from the tape hiss is a tinny, straightforward bazaar jam, as if recorded through a boombox in a crowded market -- and the last part of ‘Hafeez Kardar’, where extended seconds of radio fuzz oscillate from subtle noise to crystallized tabla and percussion, filtering through like sand. It skitters into the last track, electronics gobbed onto background noise and monolithic electronics. Both albums are must-haves for Muslimgauze fans, as well as being good starting points for a newcomer to begin their collection.
