Night Song
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Michael Brook produced this 1996 record by stripping back the typical intensity found in traditional Qawwali music. By integrating atmospheric electronic elements, the tracks connect ancient devotional singing with the ambient styles popular during the nineties.
The finished result removes the usual frantic pacing associated with the genre. Instead, the focus remains on the sheer strength of the vocals. It functions like a quiet session of reflection set against a barren, open background.
