A two-CD set of Khan's most serious and intense performances; the apex of the genius singer's marriage of Sufi devotional poetry and Pakistani classical music. Trancelike tabla rhythms, aching harmonium lines, and Khan's indescribable virtuosity grace each extended piece. The excellent, thoughtful liner notes by the late acclaimed rock singer Jeff Buckley say it best: "Part Buddha, part demon, part mad angel, his voice is velvet fire, simply incomparable. Nusrat's blending of classical improvisations to the art of Qawwali, combined with his out-and-out daredevil style and his sensitivity, puts him in a category all his own." Probably the best place to start your Nusrat collection: what, you haven't started yet? --James Rotondi
