3.0 out of 5 stars Good Urdu Studio Recordings, January 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Supreme Collection, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

I was just a little disappointed with the selections on the cd set. They are not bad studio recordings of some of his songs, but there wasn't the same passion that you can find in his live recordings. Also, there was a lack of variety in the qawwalis, there were no punjabi selections. Overall, not a bad set though, but there are better Nusrat Khan CDs out there.

This music takes you places. Though it's hard to listen to for extended periods, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Party chant, bebop, and Qawwali themselves into a burning frenzy. Even though I don't understand a word that's being sung, the emotion and spiritual devotion transcends the words. If you really care to know what the song's about, a translation is in the liner notes. But trust me, it really doesn't matter when the music plays, you can tell, they're real...they mean it.

I started out with Nusrat by buying the CD "Rapture" because it was the only one available in the store. I'm glad I didn't stop there and went ahead and got this CD. Whereas "Rapture" cuts off songs to make it more palatable for Western shorter attention span ears and includes Nusrat's misallocated foray into Western pop blend, "The Supreme Collection Volume I" explores the music to it's depth, as it was meant to be heard.

This music is rich and I can see why PJ's Eddie Vedder was influenced by it. Keep an open mind and open soul and be amazed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Party whipping themselves up into a frenzy of sound. They're real...they mean it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Khan NEVER DISSAPOINTS !, November 25, 2001

I have had this CD for about a year or so and this is one of the most important CDs in my collection of Khan's CDs. Each of the tracks is something that you have to understand to enjoy and once you get to know what is the message in the words... then it is simply mesmerising.

A must for anybody who likes Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
