Liner Note Author: Jacques Denis. Recording information: 1983-1984. Translator: Mary Criswick. 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
