| 10/17/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) I know this album catches a lot of flack from Nusrat devotees and purists. I have been listening to Nusrat for over a decade, well before he became hip over here in the west, and I stand by this album.First of all, contradictory to popular myth, this album was not a vain effort to cash in on the singer s recent demise. The album was made and almost fully completed when he was alive, the liner notes on the cd cover explain this.Secondly, Nusrat himself was experimenting with mixing and fusing different sounds. If you want proof of this, listen to Swan Song which is a 2-cd recording of his final concert prior to his demise. The concert was held in his homeland in Pakistan, and even then, the album is filled with various western instruments, guitars, horns, even an electronic piano.Some may dispute the blendings that have occured with Nusrat s works, but if the esteemed singer himself was experimenting with it then who are they to cri
