about

Observe with Sadiq Bey is old school Muslimgauze. It opens up with the first three tracks predominantly authentic sounding with quite a bit of rich dialogue and very subtle effects accents. One of my favorites on this one is Bagel of Poison (track 5), very cool piece. This is a great pairing of the more percussive and naturalistic drum with a subtle dub bass line, not overdone and not overpowering the percussion. The whole CD is much more raw than I've heard in a long while. Less production trickery and obsession with heavy phat dub bass and more of an emphasis on just simple middle-eastern drumming. Very refreshing after a long courtship with some very different (but also highly enjoyable!) styles. Some parts of this sound more like Uzi and Unites States of Islam. The artwork on this really compliments it as well, a rich desert sandy colored cover with camel and Bedouin. The internal photographs are just as arid and gritty while remaining true to the feel of the music overall.

The tracks Daughter of the Crescent Moon and Muslim of America stand out as well, Daughter being much more head bobbing, and Muslim of America seeming almost playful and simplistic.
