Review

Village Voice (4/15/97, p.62) - "...cherry-picked from his U.K. catalogue by a supersharp Brit discount label, which means that...it's cheap. But that's not why I don't mind the rock drums and guitar on one track. It's because this cherry-picker knew where the juicy ones were." - Rating: A-
Q (5/97, p.138) - "...With elegantly constructed simplicity, this Sufi mystical music bends verse, chorus and hypnotic repetition in the search for ecstacy."

Product note

Full title: Rapture: An Essential Selection From The Genius Of Qawwali.
Includes liner notes by Rick Glanvill.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan epitomizes qawwali music. The qawwal was developed by the sect of liberated mystics of Sufism and is at once devotional and ecstatic. RAPTURE draws from recordings Nusrat made in the 1980s and '90s, and showcases the breadth and scope of this now legendary singer's repertoire, including pulsating, ancient religious chants, and beautiful ghazals, or love songs.
In the mid-1990s, Nusrat was exposed to Western artists, including Madonna and Hootie And The Blowfish. Attempting to assimilate this music, he performs one song on RAPTURE that includes a rock backbeat, a pop melody, and even an electric guitar solo. The result is compelling; "Sab Vird Karo Allah Allah" is more resonant and affecting than many of the sources that inspired it. Other highlights include the mesmerizing "Man Atkeia Beparwah De Naal," and the powerful "Un Ka Andaz-E-Karam."
