Uzbekistani Bizarre And Souk

Uzbekistani Bizarre and Souk has long been considered one of the pillars of the Muslimgauze catalog but has never enjoyed a proper release. Frequently passed around on CDr, it has only been available through Staalplaat as a D.A.T. in trade for multiple proofs of purchase from Staalplaat releases. This first edition release comes housed in a beautiful numbered, hand fed letterpress digipack made by Manifesto Letterpress and will never be available in this deluxe packaging again. Also included as bonus tracks is the material left off of the recent LP release of Izlamaphobia. Printed on brown chipboard, each version of this letterpressed edition is unique, hand numbered and truly a work of art. Letterpress provides a heavy, thick inked finish and a golden imprint in the text. The printing press, a 135 yr old handfed Chandler & Price Platen Press, is identical to printing presses that are still in use all over the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia. The texture and feel of this piece can only be produced on these old platen presses.
