| | Ultimate Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Vol. II: 1983-1984 CD - Import Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Discography of CDs
Pulling compositions from 1983-84, this compilation is an ideal way to delve into the music of this revered Indian vocalist. Released in 2004, this double disc set is highlighted by the heartbreaking extended track "Nee Main Jaana."
Volume two in Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Ultimate Collection on the French EMI label not only picks up where volume one left off, but is musically more confident, even further reaching, and seems to take far more chances with very traditional q'waali material. This is Sufi music at its most ecstatic, and is reminiscent of the recordings that appeared later in his life but not the same. This stuff is rawer, far more immediate, and contains no production gloss to make Nusrat sounds palatable to Western audiences. There are six numbers spread over two discs here. All of them are extremely long, and all of them are very intense -- not so much in a way that you have to think about them, because the point is not to think at all, just hear. It doesn't matter what the singer is letting come from his mouth. He is praising the glory of his God in ecstatic terms, in ways that express the most intimate and intense love and devotion. It is at times melodic, and at other times merely off the grid. Like its predecessor, this package contains extra multimedia on each disc for viewing and interacting on your computer. For fans of the later music Nusrat issued, this will be a revelation. If you've only heard about him from your heroes like Jeff Buckley or Eddie Vedder, it's high time you scoped out this music for yourselves because these are the records they heard that blew them away. ~ Thom Jurek
Just like Volume 1, Ultimate Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Vol. 2 is a fantastic collection of Pakistani recordings, this time recorded in 1983 and 1984. At the time, Nusrat was a giant in Pakistan, but his star had yet to rise in the West. The main difference between this and Volume 1 is additional instrumentation on a few tracks. Of course there's harmonium, tabla, handclapping and vocals to which qanoun is added on one track, but there is also what sounds like clarinet and sarod on a couple others. But that's just the supporting cast, the main attraction here is the soaring, ecstatic voice of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. As with Volume 1, the choices here are somewhat arbitrary, but it's all well-recorded and exquisitely performed qawwali music. A bit more annotation as to recording specifics and sources would have been nice, but this is another excellent set of Nusrat's pure qawwali. ~ Sean Westergaard

$43.69 FINGER NUMBER FIVE is the 2003 album from Swedish melodic death-metal band Soilwork.
This Japanese edition CD has 12 songs, including the bonus track "Bursting Out."
With Figure Number Five, Soilwork continues on the melodic, streamlined path forged on previous platter Natural Born Chaos (which marked a departure from the hectic, At the Gates-style death/thrash of the group's first three releases). Releasing Figure Number Five barely a year after its predecessor, the Swedes apparently struck while the iron was hot, riding the inspired wave of Chaos' songwriting into an even more hook-heavy realm. Immediately noticeable is the conciseness of the songs -- ...

$12.69 We have change our name from furway decay to Ebb. Below is a review from aural-innovations Furway Decay - "The Greeks Have Been Defeated EP" (self-released 2003, CDR-EP) -----Uploaded to Aural Innovations: August 2003 This release was slightly confusing when it arrived on my desk here at A.I. for a few reasons. First off, the release showed up with no bio information. Second, the music contained on the disc was (it seems) courtesy of a multi-speed burner directly from a hard disk. Thirdly, the damn thing showed up in a plain paper CD sleeve with nothing more than a track listing and an email address! At first glance, I was more than skeptical. Needless to say, I popped the EP in with little to no expectation of greatness for the 5-song Verbatim CD-R journey I had a ticket for. The minimal amount of information I was able to obtain (via somewhat of a Rambo style recon mission) is that Furway Decay consists of two people - Shark, who handles the duties of drummer, sampler, and random objects (I suspect that means he beats on cans, bottles, pots/pans and records it), and, Weinan, who takes guitar, bass, and synth duties in stride. But this is no poor man's Ministry, quite the contrary. Furway Decay walks a fine line between music, noise, and experimentation. You could consider it IDM meshed with injected noise and disjointed ambience. ...
