Glad you're getting into it. Qawwali can be quite captivating. Nusrat emerged as the most famous and commercially prolific Qawal artist. The range of his offerings are a TRIP. He go from the most classical in form to collaborations with people like Eddie Vedder to disco-dance remix versions of traditional Qawwali that are hyped with electronic effects. No kidding! A real treat when you're in the mood. Din

Din- With Eddie Vedder on an out-take from the score of Dead Man Walking, maybe? I think have him with a traditional ensemble, also. Very wow.

Ok...so I have to admit first that I had to do some research on this topic before I even listened to the samples...I had no clue what the three of you where talking about. Interesting topic, read some about the history, then listened to the samples...I really like it. Now comes the hard part. My list of cds to buy is getting longer and longer...Can the three of you suggest which of the three albums mentioned would be the best one to start with? Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks, Mrs. Pumpkinman

Well I've only listened to these 2 albums myself and both are righteously good. I haven't sampled Swan Song (his last album, recorded Live) or any other album yet.

Thank you. I suppose I can start looking for one of the two you have heard...unless anyone else strongly suggests otherwise.

Wire - 154 (1979)

I like most of the songs on this album, but "Two People in a Room",
as short as it is (2:08), is amazing.

i have not heard the first one mentioned, but "night song" is a mustt mustt regardless of what else you buy, imo!

i would also suggest sampling michael brook's other stuff, who collaborated w/nusrat on the night song album. i checked out his website; haven't bought anything, but the main issue i had was because i wanted to buy everything!

"night song" has incredible synthesized low bass; for those who have rigs that will do sub 20hz bass, you will be in for a treat, besides the rest of the excellence contained on this disc. nusrat's woice is un-freaking-believable...

Night Song then, if you're forcing me to choose.
