The Idea of a Buddhist on fire, and i have some sympathy with this, is something that would give your average member of the disgusting Taliban an orgasm! These primitives would not think twice about torching an infidel child, like the emotional pornography depicted on the cover of this LP. The wrong end of the Islamic spectrum, upon seeing/hearing this album, would probably see a green light for religious cleansing. These twats disgust me.
I am hoping Muslim obsessive Bryn Jones didn't have any misguided sympathies in this direction, who knows what he really thought?
But this album is one of his better ones. A hint of Industrial Disco makes it more than palatable even enjoyable.
Released on Bourbonese Qualk's Recloose label, as was the earlier Triptych e.p. by E.g. Oblique Graph.

I'm thinking you might be stating Mr. Muslimgauze's "morality" in too thin an aspic. I always assumed he was up to nothing crazier than making ragas out of "The Dignity of Labour" double pack, with a like 23 Skidoo thrown in. Harmless stuff...I mean Throbbing Gristle and Crass caused a stir, but were decent folk all the same. The Stranglers did plenty of mischief too, and now their albums are advertised as the perfect father's day present! (Mom's gonna love "Bring On The Nubiles"!)
Sadly it looks like Muslimgauze said some bad things...some Ian Stewart type things...but aimed at a different demographic. I'm not sure what he said exactly, but it made there has been quite a bit of chatter on the "searchlight" type anti-fascist sites about this guy. Ever alert to any slight to our democracy, but too valuable to risk leaving Mum's house in Surrey or Brighton, they're doing what they fancy George Orwell would've done: they've been trolling websites trying to get "warnings" and outright removals of Muslimgauze from any informative and/or commercial website. They've already done this to every Skrewdriver-type band and are constantly expanding the definitions of fascism. A lot of them are into "deep ecology" and other issues trendy in the late '80s, and mentally that's where they're stuck. It's been a few years so they might be getting tired of it by now (and mummy keeps asking them to take Poppet for a walk! "The leash is a tool of fascism, mum! And so is the dog, for that matter!" Plus they've probably heard of the Arab spring and the riots and immigration protests...and assumed this was all to do with their anti-Muslimgauze activity. Maybe going after a dead obscure musician was a little to much use of their power for the reactionaries to handle.
I used to think these guys shared some affection for punk and D.I.Y., but they usually consider such things "decadent" or "phallic" or "ritualistic in a proto-fascist sense." It's amazing that people still exist who think in the same terms as the Stasi. They'd ban Crass for mocking R.A.R. marches, Stiff Little Fingers and the Undertones for "fence-sitting apologetics", and The Pop Group for "caricaturing anti-fascists as paranoid". They'd ban the Adverts for enslaving women as bass players, they'd ban the Desperate Bicycles for the "mysticism" and/or "Maoism" suggested by their name. They'd band Slaughter & The Dogs for animal cruelty. They'd ban Joy Division as outright Nazis, Siouxsie & the Banshees for and The Jam as They'd ban the Clash if they could (they were not only militants and Stalinists but also racists because they used the word "kebab" once and "Brand New Cadillac" endorses American corporations and "Rock the Casbah" celebrates war profiteers.To them, a background of vintage cassettes constitutes a genocidal attack on technology. D.I.Y. would be an anti-socialist attack on the integrity of the working class. And guitars are obviously nothing more than the noisy penises of ceremonial rapes.
Anyway I've had so much fun with these kids - usually just 5 or 10 years older than me - and as you've accomplished more for glorious fascism with a D.I.Y. blog than a million Hitlers at a million typewriters (IRONY!) I just had to be the first to congratulate you.
P.S. if you do run into any pipsqueak pseudo-intellectuals, ask them to define "fascism". Then ask them to define "irony". Then ask them to define "fish and chips". Their answers will astound you...because they'll all be equivalently evil!
er........Yes?
Some brainless tit labelled me a fascist earlier in the blog for having opinions.In fact for not liking The Legendary Pink Dots!?
That comment maker was roundly slapped down by the bloggersphere.
But,in this case I embrace it as a compliment.I thoroughly enjoyed your bluuurb, and wholeheartedly agree with its sentiments.Don't forget kids, the words Socialist and workers were both in the official title of the Nazi party.
Now that's what we call post-ironic!
The title "Buddhist on Fire" has little to do with self-immolation of Buddhist monks. It is a reference to the Buddhist fire sermon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Sermon
There`s always one ain`t there?
