I have lived in Pakistan and this relives the music I experienced there. This recording is an excellent example of the special and pulsating music coming out of the culture of Pakistan. Long before Nusfat Ali Khan- this collection of pieces bring forth the rhythm and beat that dates far back into the history of this area in South Asia. I have many collections of music from Pakistan and India, and this ranks as one of the best. The sound is fresh, and rejuevnating-it is a shame it went under "snake music" because it captures the deep spiritual influences of Sufism that yet needs to be appreciated. If you are interested in music of Pakistan, I would definitely buy this cd...and you will be hooked!

4.0 out of 5 stars super-trance tremendous music!...but poor sleeve notes, February 18, 2004

The music on this recording is sufi trance music of the most stirring and powerfull kind,great shawm playing with circular breathing tecnique supported by the incredibly powerfull beats of the indian percussions tabla and of the dholak,a barrel-shaped double-skin drum played orizontally with both hands and with metal rings on one hand.
You have also sarangi,the pakistani fiddle,playing,sound of
which is very stirring.
I would highly reccommend it for anyone looking for natural trance and ecstatic music from islamic spirituality.
The only dissapointment are the sleeve notes which don't explain much at all about the instruments and the music played,it's rather poor of informations.
