Mustt Mustt is remixed and augemnted by Peter Brook and puts him in short 3-4 minutes songs but is still very pretty and definitly the best of the remix albums, I wouldn't recomend Star Rise as a good starting point as its very much dancefloor orientated remixes and a fair amount isn't that great.

Listening to the Supreme Collection Volume 1 right now. Just amazing stuff esp. in 20 minute trance inducing chunks rather than 6-7 minutes "songs".

Saw him in Ohio back during college -- it was an...experience.
Just listened to the two collabs with Michael Brook on Real World--Mustt Mustt and Night Music--both of which are engaging. Brook is an interesting character -- Eno and Lanois associate, influence on Edge with his "infinite guitar," and has done a series of collabs with different folks with a real focus on atmosphere, including several world music fusions that are kind of Laswell-but-better. Perhaps the most notable of these is Miss America with Mary Margaret O'Hara, the vocals for which a Perfect Sound Forever feature compare to...Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

Pulled out Traditional Sufi Qawwlis: Live in London and listening to Volume 1. Amazing stuff.

It's maybe not for the purists, but "Mustt Mustt" sounding so uplifting and hopeful this morning .

One for the ‘things you can not find on the internet thread’ but does anyone know who did the early 90s remix of Musst Musst that got played to death for years on Sunrise Radio and the like? It was faster and more upbeat than the Peter Brook or Massive Attack versions.

Personally, I'd like a guide to qawaali that isn't Nusrat or the Sabri Bros (who I prefer, esp Ya Habib).

I've got this one particular Sabri Brothers CD (Legends Vol-1 or something). It's all vinyl and cassette transfers with clicks and dropouts and rather lo-fi in places but clearly songs the compiler loves. For the most part it's very beautiful, sometimes quite jaw-dropping.
I'd like to get an idea where the songs are from, or rather, when. and I'm mainly going by the instrumentation and production quality for clues.
The first song ('Milta Hai Kya Namaz Main') is taken from a vinyl source and has santur/dulcimer and violins that follow the vocal melodies (as well as the usual harmonium and tabla) so it's a relatively lush classical sound.
The next ('Sakhi') one has an amazing intro / preamble with more dulcimer, sitar and some pronounced phasing effects at the start, could be a synthesiser. It's a very happy, pentatonic sort of thing.
The beginning of 'Hazir Hazir Hai Labbaik Allah' has a kind of flamenco / spaghetti western vibe with guitar and more droning phased synth / organ.
There's dozens of their albums on Apple Music but I think the way titles are rendered varies so it's not easy to search.
Anyway, I'm guessing mid 70s to 80s for this stuff.
