Strange Ambience

Pedro Maras aka BedouinDrone is one of the many Muslimgauze successors who keep the sounds of the late Bryn Jones alive with aspects of his own stylings. I am delighted to hear new Bedouindrone, Abandoned Villages and am a fan of the earlier release by said artist, The Border which came out in 2018, both on the Bulgaria-based Mahorka netlabel. Intense ambient, exotic field recordings, distorted beats, near toxic bass-lines and excursions into musical zealotry, listen and immerse. A review of the Abandoned Villages release will be forthcoming on Chain D.L.K. While there are some tracks from the later album that really are taken from Muslimgauze tracks, I much prefer the more unique, less derivative material. Influence is fine, but we already have one Muslimgauze. Maras is talented enough to carve his own path. Do yourself a favor and listen, both releases are stellar.
