Music reviews of Ecstacy
Music Review: Sufi gets goofy
Rating: 2 Stars
This is definitely a "love it" or "hate it" disk and I fall into the latter category. I bought Ecstasy based on glowing reviews here on Amazon, and was sorely disappointed by the rough and badly recorded mix of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's vocals with a dub-style accompaniment. Another reviewer captured the weirdness of this album with the image of James Brown and the funkadelic sound. Scat singing, be-bop, and Perry Como (no disrepect intended) are other random images that came to mind as I listened to this album. Truly scary!
Qawwali is devotional music at its core, and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan attains his most powerful and lasting impact as a vocalist when religious fervor shapes his phrasing and delivery. You don't need to be a Sufi, or even a person with any religious beliefs, to appreciate the beauty of Khan's voice on a more traditional recording. Skip this disk and choose instead the intensity and finesse of studio recordings such as the Supreme Collection, volume 1, Greatest Hits, or even Mustt Mustt, which I would rate as a 5, 4, and 5.
This attempt to repackage qawwali as Western party music of the Buddha Bar variety comes off badly. I can't understand why other reviewers have raved about this disk; it's not representative of Khan's tremendous talent or his body of work.
