		Born in Switzerland to an Italian mother and an Afghanistani father (his family relocated to Paris when he was six-years-old), Mirwais' demand for distinction was obvious long before he began delighting the world's dancefloors and backroom lounges with his gritty, space-age grooves.
		Mirwais' superb production and songwriting efforts on Music refined the sonic persona of the world's premier musical icon to the applause of consumers and critics across the globe, topping the charts in 34 countries and earning the duo three Grammy nominations.
		It also thrust Mirwais into the high court of modern electronic musicians faster than you can say "boogie-woogie." But Production proves the man doesn't need to ride the coattails of a superstar pop diva to cement his status as the new millenium's most innovative and inspired musician.

		The Shah of Persia thus declared the influence of Mirwais, not Gurgin, at the Persian court.
		Mirwais had extricated himself from a very nasty situation but, more importantly, he had observed the depths of decay at Isfahan, much as Babur had observed it at Herat, and correctly determined that the Safavid Empire was on the brink of collapse.
		The qualities which enabled Mirwais to lead the tribes toward a meaningful unity were not, unfortunately, inherited by his ambitious 18 year old son, Mahmood, whose visions only encompassed conquest and power.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: C’est Mal: Frenchman Mirwais Flops
		Mirwais’ voice, delivering banal yet somehow appropriate lyrics, is filtered through a vocoder to encapsulate an otherworldly effect.
		Mirwais (finally!) takes a backseat to someone else on the following track; no surprise there, as it’s Madonna herself who takes control of “Paradise (Not For Me)”, which also appears on her album Music.
		Mirwais fails to fall into any of these categories, despite his best attempts; he even sports some bizarre wire facial ornament on the cover of the album.

		Mirwais enjoys a very warm reception and appreciation of the Afghan community in Australia by his performances with his brothers in concerts, wedding parties and other functions.

		Mirwais has never been one for the spotlight.
		He liberally laces the album with similar-sounding burps of acoustic guitar, interstellar bleeps and disco beats, but the Swiss-born son of Italian-Afghan parents manages to take each cut in a different direction.
		Mirwais is quite adept behind the boards, starting, stopping, and reversing synthesizer loops quickly enough to make you think your CD player is on the fritz.

	Mirwais - Production
		Mirwais' most recent foray into music is aptly titled, "Production." It is upbeat and danceable and draws comparisons to current French sensations Daft Punk as well as the Material Mother's former producer, William Orbit.
		Mirwais sings "Unhappy girl/unhappy son/all living in a happy world" repeated times, and the tune comes across almost as a new wave tune.
		Mirwais does a good job of mixing up beats, vocals and digital effects so that the listener is kept entertained for the entire album.

	Interview with Mirwais
		Mirwais Ahmadzai made his first sonic mark on the French scene in the late '70s with Taxi Girl, a punk/new wave venture that had a major deal with Virgin and an unfortunate penchant for self-destruction.
		Meanwhile, Mirwais focused his own musical energies on creating experimental, effect-drenched juxtapositions of guitar parts, sequenced lines, loops, and found sounds -- recordings in which he quite clearly was taking the technology of the time a little farther than it had been intended to go.
		Mirwais loves to mangle audio with hardware, but he has no qualms doing it with software too.

		Known in France for the better part of two decades, Mirwais Ahmadzai was a guitarist in the seminal punk group Taxi Girl for 8 years before forming acoustic outfit Juliette et les independents.
		The evolution to electronic music happened in 1994, when Mirwais became inspired by the energy of house and jungle, and wanted to get in on the act.
		Mirwais’s record label Naive is currently in negotiations with Maverick to release his album, and meanwhile Mirwais is experiencing censorship, Madonna-style, for his raunchy "Disco Science" video - not that it seems to bother him at all.

		Mirwais is a man of thought and action, but the latter is on hold for the foreseeable future.
		One Mirwais trademark is extreme editing, which causes guitars, vocals and beats to hiccup and skip like a gentle jackhammer.

		Mirwais' skills brought him to the attention of Madonna who sequestered them for her album, and returns the favour with this album's centrepiece number, "Paradise Not For Me".
		This exquisite blend of French monologue and treated English vocal married to swelling synths indicates why Mirwais was seen as the hottest, most chic French electronic producer from an apparently endless line of talent that continues to emanate from the city.
		Mirwais dabbles between acoustic blues to the Big Beats of 'Cant Wait' and the theme is most definately French but shows more depth in style and quality than his fellow Frogs, Daft Punk or Air.

	DAA CD Review: Mirwais - Production by Joe Manera (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Here and elsewhere, Mirwais works with a groovy early 80s dance music template, dressing up his otherwise sparse, immaculate tunes with synthetic love-no track goes by without a Vocoder or Moroder beat strolling by and waving hello, which might explain why Music is Madonna's most shamelessly disco album since her debut.
		Mirwais peppers this slim story with everything plus the kitchen sink plus other peoples' kitchen sinks-there's a hallucinogenic, Daft Punk-ish bass, a weird, stuttering guitar, manically processed vocals, and a few well-placed DJ scratches.
		This is Mirwais' greatest gift-his ability to marry artifice and emotion, and squeeze as much of them into perverse, 5-minute disco dramas as he can.

		But not one to ride someone’s wave, Mirwais is an artist in his own right, with a damn cool track called "Disco Science" ripping shit up and an album close behind.
		Known in his homeland France for the better part of two decades, Mirwais Ahmadzai was a guitarist in the seminal punk group Taxi Girl for 8 years before forming acoustic outfit Juliette et les independants with his girlfriend Juliette.
		Having survived the ordeal of a drug death in Taxi Girl, and now the responsible father of two, it doesn’t seem to be an issue whether his art offends others or not.

	'Production' by Mirwais
		Best known as Madonna's producer for her latest album Music, Mirwais surprisingly reveals little talent in his ability to create his own mix of trip-hop dance music.
		The album isn't all that bad — a few of the songs are actually quite catchy — but most of the songs have a low monotonous beat throughout the entire song with a few amateur voice effects thrown in.
		Mirwais has decent producing skills and his music is well liked on the French music scene — his electronic single, "Disco Science," was what captured Madonna's attention.

		On his aptly named debut album Production, hot French producer Mirwais marries the stylish playfulness of contemporaries like Air and Daft Punk with an even more direct pop sensibility.
		In similar company with new-school French progressive dance artists such as Motorbass, Air, Cassius and Dimitri from Paris, Parisian duo Daft Punk have quickly risen to acclaim by adapting a love for first-wave acid house and techno to their younger roots in pop, indie rock, and hip-hop.

		Parisian music wiz Mirwais, 40, has a lot in common with Madonna, much more than just their shared Grammy nomination for producing Record of the Year.
		Madonna discovered Mirwais much in the same way she herself was discoveredÜthe old tape pass off-only this time it was a DAT of "Disco Science," the first single from Mirwais' new album Production.
		In his own quiet, very French way [we tried to keep him in his own words because-while it doesn't always add up to Queen's EnglishÜit's pretty damn sexy], Mirwais is finding mainstream success with what he describes as an edgy, universal, extreme sound.

		Though he had been an influential part of the French musical landscape for years, his solo debut, Production, thrust the melodious marriage of 'human emotion and synthetic soul' and hit a chord with the Material Girl.
		For electronic-dance pioneers like Daft Punk and Air, Mirwais' first band, Taxi Girl, was the source of much inspiration.
		However, as French electronica started to erupt underground, Mirwais was drawn back into producing the music he loved.

		Mirwais lays down grooves that aren't even sensual; they're rambunctiously horny.
		Unrestrained by the limits of producing a radio-friendly album, Mirwais produced an excellent album that can be appreciated by both fans and critics of Madonna.
		What could have been a huge breakthrough instead sounds staid, as if he were so used to rocking the house that he didn't want to risk rocking the boat.
