| | Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Dust To Gold CD Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Discography of CDs
If you've ever been to a religious prayer meeting of any denomination, you'll be familiar with the emotional content of this collection of archive recordings of the master Pakistani qawwal Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Devotional, inspirational, at times ecstatic, these songs echo the soulful call and response of Gospel music, the timelessness of ancient Hebrew hymns, and the grittiness of traditional folk music.
Nusrat's tempered, mystical wail predominates, but the shifting rhythms and the complex melodies of the qawwali party (and it certainly sounds like a party) are what drive these energetic pieces along. As with all the best religious gatherings the overall effect is, of course, hypnotic; there is ultimately no choice but to surrender to the all-enveloping chants, and, like the participants in these compelling recordings, be carried along on the euphoric sonic wave of these songs of devotion to the ineffable.
Recorded at Sargam Studio, Lahore, Pakistan in June 1997.

Q (8/00, p.119) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Provides a dizzying example of Khan at his best..." CMJ (6/19/00, p.24) - "...A collection that encompasses every ounce of guttural spiritualism and bottomless polyrhythmic hypnotics of his most astounding traditional Qawwali works." JazzTimes (10/00, p.75) - "...Illustrates nicely the carefully balanced degrees of improvisational abandon and control in Khan's vocals, complemented beautifully by his wrap-around ensemble..." Mojo (Publisher) (7/00, p.116) - "...Nusrat doesn't hold back, whipping his band into an impassioned tsunami offering tribute to the Sufi saints and Mohammed. Greatest voice of all time, agreed? It's blistering stuff..." Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Dust To Gold Songs Dust To Gold Review

Dust To Gold album
$10.05 Celtic Woman, initially a one-shot collaboration by six leading Irish vocalists for a 2004 PBS special, struck a chord of adoration for the Emerald Isle, a fancy affecting both sides of the Atlantic, and swiftly became a permanent collective. THE GREATEST JOURNEY captures many of the best moments of elegant harmonizing by the act, from their serene and rapturous take on Enya's "Orinoco Flow" to the mournful yet poppily uplifting indigenous folk of "You ...

Dust To Gold album
$31.89 Released to celebrate his 50th birthday, King of Pop is Michael Jackson's third major compilation in just five years, following 2003's million-selling Number Ones and 2005's The Essential Collection. With a track listing chosen by fans via the GMTV and The Sun websites, it could, and should, have been the ideal opportunity to showcase his lesser-known singles and standout album tracks. Disappointingly, it relies on the usual big chart hits featured on his previous two collections, which leaves you questioning what the point of King of Pop is. Of course, the actual material is unquestionably brilliant. The majestic disco-pop of "Rock with You" and "Don't Stop Til You ...
