Shahenshah Lives.......2006-12-25

Greatest Hits as the album cover is a trifle disingenuous. I shudder to think of future compiliations titled Greatest Hits XVIII or something like that. For the first time buyer, The title might be tempting.Quawwal is the sort of Rock N'Roll more like the southern gospel music, it intends to transport the listener in to the state of rapture. Nusrat as an introduction to this form of spiritual experience is a great idea. Just type "Nusrat" on wikipedia and you will see how quawwali is laid out and the songs extol the virtues of God and the sacrifices of imam so just feel the words as extolling your God and let go... As porn can stimulate the sexual arousal in some at the other end of the spectrum Quawwal can induce rapture in many ...(ok ok I know I am bordering on sacrilege). I also recommend Saabri brothers. They may lack the explosive quality of the Shahenshah "king of kings" but are divine.

Know more............2003-11-29

Nusrat is the greatest. he's the 2pac of qawwali....... he's one of the only two wonderful things pakistan has given to this world..other one being Ghulam ali, is second to nusrat in my ratings.... i'm a passionate collector of music. Though i hate to rate this Nusrat CD less than 5 stars but i did it because this is still not the best you can get from Nusrat. I am an Indian Hindu, i understand most of his qawwalis as hindi is quite similar to urdu when heard. To know more outstanding tracks from nusrat or any other, ask me for suggestions. deejay_uppercut@yahoo.com

Deceptive Marketing.......2003-01-09

This is actually not a bad CD. What really bugs me about this is the way it is marketed. This, like just about all of Nusrat's CDs, is full of magnificent qawwali music. This is sacred Pakistani sufi music. It is inspiring, and even mesmerizing. You would't have a CD of "Top 10 Prayers", so, having this sacred CD of religious music being marketed as a "greatest hits" CD is preposterous. This record company should be ashamed of themselves. Further, this CD isn't really a collection of "famous Nusrat songs". Yes the songs on here are good, but, basically, all the record company (Shanachie) did was license an old tape of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's from Pakistan, and called it "Greatest Hits" to fool American buyers.

If you want one of his best traditional qawwali recordings, go for REAL WORLD'S CD, SHAHEN SHAH, or the Live Boxed Set on OCORA. If you want Nusrat's hits (he had some great pop-remixes done), then maybe MUSST MUSST is for you.

This man's music is legendary.......2001-02-26

Nusret Fateh Ali Khan is without a doubt the Elvis Presley of Qawali.He has a golden voice that encapsulates any,and I mean any audience combined with some brilliant Oriental Pakistani music from an excellent band of musicians.He adds a different dimension to the music industry and if any of you have wondered what the unique brand of music called Qawali sounded like,I highly recommend that you purchase this wonderful collection by this great musician.Many do not understand the language it is sung in,but in this album a song like Mangte Hain Karam(my favourite) with the man's sublime voice and the excellent melody of music by his band means that this cd and the vol.2 cd are a must have in any album collection.
