1	Ragas and Sagas (1992) more music like this by Jan Garbarek The saxophone is not an instrument usually associated with Pakistani music. And Pakistanis are not especially famous for collaborating with Norwegians. But that is what listeners have on this incredible recording. The music is predominantly Pakistani in sound, tonality, and structure; voice, sarangi, and tabla improvise along with Garbarek's ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $11.59!
2	The Rough Guide to the Music of Pakistan (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Pakistan's music has generally tended to be overshadowed by that of its neighbor India. (It did share an earlier volume in this series with India, but fully deserves its own.) And while the two countries share of lot of characteristics -- especially Pakistani and North Indian (or Hindustani) music, there's plenty going on in Pakistan besides the ... see all copies from $6.84! new only from $13.16!
3	Dub Qawwali (2007) more music like this by Gaudi/Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Over the years, the singing of the world famous qawwal Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan has become a canvas on which a wide variety of admiring musicians and producers have painted their own musical images -- guitarist Michael Brook recorded an album with him, and Khan's work has been remixed by everyone from Black Star Liner to Asian Dub Foundation. The ... see all copies from $12.83! new only from $14.49!
4	The Passion of Pakistan (1997) more music like this by Iqbal Jogi Ensemble Western listeners won't found much variation in these ten raags from the 1950s. But if Sufi music that coils and builds with unrelenting energy is what you seek, this 50-minute disc delivers plenty of hypnotic drones, repetitive trance melodic lines, and rhythmic percussion. The sound quality is excellent, considering the time and location of the ... see all copies from $7.40! new only from $12.69!
5	The Ultimate Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Vol. 1 (2005) more music like this by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's stature in the West was largely a result of his cross-cultural collaborations and slickly produced recordings on the Real World label, but he was already a huge star in Pakistan with many recordings to his credit. The Ultimate Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Vol. 1 is a collection of some of his Pakistani recordings dating from 1978 ... see all copies from $12.95! new only from $15.40!
6	Star Rise: Remixes (1998) more music like this by Nusrat Khan Fateh Ali & Michael Brook On this one-of-a-kind Nusrat release, nine artists and DJs from the so-called Asian Underground remix tracks from the qawwali star's two crossover recordings made with Michael Brook, Mustt Mustt (1990) and Star Rise (1995). The results are decidedly more muscular and dance oriented than the originals. Sometimes that sensational voice gets a little ... see all copies from $2.35!
7	Night Song (1996) more music like this by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan/Michael Brook Canadian guitarist Michael Brook worked with Nusrat to create the 1990 crossover hit Mustt Mustt, and the release was hailed internationally and credited with leading Pakistani youth to discover Sufi religious music, qawwali. This follow-up project helped establish something of a tradition for Real World crossover projects. The genre features ... see all copies from $9.98!
8	Qawwali: Sufi Music from Pakistan (1978) more music like this by The Sabri Brothers The first Pakastani Sufi record issued in the US is a fine example of full-throated qawwali. Myles Boisen, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.09! new only from $13.59!
9	Ecstacy (1997) more music like this by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan When Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan died at 49 in 1997 of renal failure, music lovers the world over mourned his untimely passing. The rotund, merry-faced Pakistani tenor had brought the joyous sound of qawwali, a Sufi (Islamic mystic) devotional tradition, intact and unadulterated to international audiences. Khan was descended from six generations of ... see all copies from $19.28! new only from $19.28!
10	Mustt Mustt (1990) more music like this by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan When the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomehni banned all music in Iran and declared it to be sacrilegious, his views by no means reflected the outlook of all Muslims. In fact, Islam's Sufi sect believes music to be a sacred and necessary element of spiritual life. Like Hindus, the Sufis passionately encourage meditation, dancing and chanting. Nusrat Fateh ... see all copies from $11.68! new only from $11.68!
11 view cover	Shabaz (2001) more music like this by Shabaz After two albums as the Ali Khan band, the San Francisco-based Shabaz offers a new name and a refined approach to the techno-meets-Indian music (somewhat different than Britain's Asian underground) they've developed over several years. The important thing here is the vocals of Sukhawat Ali Khan and his sister, Riffat Salamat, the children of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.95!
12 view cover	In Concert (2006) more music like this by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan see all copies from $21.93! new only from $21.93!
13 view cover	Swan Song (1999) more music like this by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Soon before his death in 1997, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan performed at one last concert in Pakistan, the Pakistan 4 U concert, which was televised internationally, also marking the first time that a Pakistani music production on film was broadcast beyond the subcontinent. The next year, this album was released -- a recording of the final concert. There ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $15.41!
14 view cover	Dust to Gold (2000) more music like this by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Party Three years after the qawwali star's death in 1997, Real World began releasing material "discovered" in Nusrat's hometown, Lahore, Pakistan. These four pieces were evidently recorded there just months before he died, but they sound closer to the pristine Real World Studios sessions than to the earlier Pakistani material available on reissue ... see all copies from $10.65! new only from $13.16!
15 view cover	Gold of the Sun Live (2004) more music like this by Temple of Sound see all copies from $2.37! new only from $15.30!
16 view cover	Sufi Qawwalis (2002) more music like this by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan This 2002 release of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's songs by ARC Music (previously released by Navras Records) presents four songs recorded during a concert that took place in London in December 1989 at the Kufa Gallery. Listeners hear a singer in perfect mastery of his qawwali art, singing in different languages, such as Farsi, Punjabi, and old Hindi. ... see all copies from $11.41! new only from $13.20!
17 view cover	The New Qawwali Voice (2003) more music like this by Faiz Ali Faiz Since the death of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, several artists have put themselves forward to fill the void in qawwali music. Faiz Ali Faiz is among them, and it has to be said that, from this live recording, he's extremely impressive. He even takes on a composition by Khan ("Allah Hu"), which both pays homage to the great master and frees the songs -- ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $17.03!
18 view cover	The Rough Guide to Sufi Music (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Most Westerners think of Sufi music in terms of the late great Persian qawwali vocalist Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan or of the whirling dervishes of the Mevlevi order in Turkey. It's not really Westerners' fault that the media have provided few images -- in terms of Sufi culture -- to work with. This volume by Rough Guides offers a solid view of the ... see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.14!
19 view cover	Ultimate Collection, Vol. 1 (2004) more music like this by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan see all copies from $19.46! new only from $25.94!
20 view cover	Revelation (1995) more music like this by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan "For the martyrs of the dagger of submission, the Unseen brings a new life every morning," reads the legend on the back of this album, and the chief martyr would seem to be qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, who certainly sounds joyous. "On this recording Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan blends traditional sarangi accompaniment with innovative electric ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.46!
21 view cover	Star Rise (1997) more music like this by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Star Rise finds a number of underground UK-Asian musicians remixing Khan and Brook's collaborations, which already pushed the boundaries of worldbeat, jazz and fusion. In these incarnations, the music becomes more fluid, danceable and adventurous, incorporating dub, breakbeats, ambient and rock. It's as much a testament to the talents of Khan and ... see all copies from $15.39! new only from $30.39!
22 view cover	Globalhead (2007) more music like this by Temple of Sound see all copies from $13.14! new only from $16.19!
23 view cover	Intoxicated Spirit (1996) more music like this by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan This, the second of four Pakistani releases licensed by Shanachie, was a big seller when it arrived in U.S. record stores at the height of Nusrat-mania. It's a live recording featuring four long pieces. The sound is crisp and unfettered, decidedly less rich than on the Real World sessions, but good enough to let the listener enjoy another ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $15.61!
24 view cover	Zindagi (2000) more music like this by The Ali Khan Band The qawwali/trip-hop/rock fusion style that the Ali Khan Band introduced on their first release, Taswir, is perfected and taken to new levels on this album. Taswir was an interesting and impressive album, but Zindagi is more polished and more diverse than its predecessor. It seems as though the band has gotten more comfortable with their signature ... see all copies from $2.65! new only from $12.53!
25 view cover	Lost in Qawwali (2001) more music like this by Badar Ali Khan see all copies from $10.24! new only from $12.75!
