- Words fail me .........
If you would like to truly experience the transcendent power of rythm, harmony and the human voice, and to explore some of the deeper recesses of the human spirit at the same time, then you really MUST listen to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and his group.
I first experienced Nusrat some 10 years or so ago on Channel 4 while late-night channel surfing. In an instant I was rooted to my chair, my remote-control hand frozen in mid-air. NEVER had I heard anything so utterly and literally entrancing. Indeed, without understanding a word of what was being sung, I involuntarily found myself on my feet, eyes closed, arms up, swaying and shuffling to the music. It was only when I fell over the coffee table that I came to my senses enough to scribble 'Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan' on a piece of paper.
This was music I had been waiting my entire life to hear. So it seemed to me then, and so it does still. This really is so much more than music. Truly, truly, listening to this incredible human being is a spiritual experience. If your ears and your brain are susceptible to such things, it will enrapture you, transporting you with pleasure to another plane of experience. Which, of course, is precisely what Qawwali music has been crafted to do, over the course of eight centuries or so.
This CD was the first one I acquired (a complete stab in the dark) and it turned out to be a superb choice. For me, the track highlights are Allah Hoo, Ali Maula, Ni Main Jogi and, particularly, Ali Haq, which has the most exquisite slow-building lead-in you'll ever hear.
If your looking for an introduction to the work of the great man and his group, I can think of no better choice than this CD (I now own 5 Nusrat CDs), and for existing fans who have not yet heard these versions of the above mentioned tracks, I would urge you to try them.
It will change your life! Very very highly recommended.

- Asian music for the uninitiated
Nusrat is a very fine artiste.You don't have to be either Pakistani or Muslim to appreciate his music. That is the bearing of a superstar - transcend all barriers. Nusrat does that effortlessly with this album. Allah Bachaee really is a must listen, and Ali Haq is a close second followed by Ali Maula. Even the musical ensemble, complete with tabla, harmonium and mandolin is a joy to listen. A "Time" article once mentioned a flattering article about the man himself. It wasn't flattering at all - it was simply true.
Rating: - Allah hoo allah hoo
You don't own the best song Nusrat ever recorded until you own a copy of him singing Allah hoo allah hoo. Uplifting, joyous, life affirming, and I haven't really got a clue what he's singing about. What a voice. Totally inspiring.
