Yasser Arafat is working to improve his peoples lives, as are Hamas. Yasser Arafat can talk, while Hamas undertake direct action to take back from Zionists Palestinian land. America's role in supporting the vile regime of Israel will never be forgotten." (Muslimgauze, September 1993) Staalplaat now releases a CD EP (total length: 39 minutes), called 'Hamas Arc'. In a few weeks a totally new work will be released, recorded only recently, called 'Betrayal'. This replaces the announced release of 'Shekel Of Israeli Occupation'. This makes Hamas Arc a very special CD EP, as it contains remixed material from 'Shekel Of Israeli Occupation', which will never appear. Also on 'Hamas Arc' there are two remixes from tracks on 'Vote Hezbollah' (CD by Soleilmoon) To speak of Muslimgauze is to evoke the musical spirit of Islam. For over ten years this solitary voice from Manchester has created a unique sound drawn from a melange of Arabic and European instrumental music. From the very beginning the music has been based on drums and other percussion instruments. Recent advances have been attained through greater creative use of multi-track studios, but the core sound remains unchanged. Hamas Arc marks the unique relationship between Staalplaat, Muslimgauze and Soleilmoon, the CD EP contains material from "Vote Hezbollah" and from the new full length CD to be released later this year. Staalplaat and Soleilmoon will take turns in releasing new Muslimgauze material. For many years Muslimgauze has made music with political comments on the situation in the Middle East. His first CD (Iran) was influenced by the political facts of Palestine, Afghanistan and Iran. More recently his work is dedicated to extreme organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas."
