Magic Touch

Used to listen to this when I was a kid and it still sounds great today. Lots of classic tracks re-worked to make them appealing to the generation of the day. It was a different era but I wish Bally would go back to making music like this.

I love this Album my favourites Are Jhoole & Ali Da malang.

Good

Nusrat's voice is great but, for me, he's best as a traditional Qawwal.

One of my favourite albums of all time. I've been listening to it regularly since it came out in 1991. The immense talent of NFAK goes without saying but Bally Sagoo does a fantastic job here. Every track is pure magic.

This album is amazing. It opens up Nusrat's music to the western world, so many youngsters would not have a clue about where to start in discovering the vocal talent that Nusrat possessed. Music is a fusion of Some of Nusrat's best vocals with western beats, strongly suggest worth listening to if you want an introduction to Nusrat's style / quwali

Greetings to you All,Reviewer's Background: Pakistani by way of Lahore, grew up there in the 80s, 90s. Now 35, so listened to this feverishly for years. Met Ustad NFAK several times in the 90s in Lahore, and in London 96-97 when he was producing Sangam with Javaid Akhtar and was at its Premiere where Bally Sagoo (A GEM OF A GUY-humble, talented, literally sat in the back row).I told Nusrat Uncle, "I actually like your Bally mixed stuff better than anything" and he would just smile and say "acha baraya hai" (it's well made)As for the beats, you just can't listen to the beats in a vacuum and not understand that nearly 20 years ago, THERE WAS NO fusion of Eastern/Desi beats. Yes there were Desis trying to sound Western, but not an actual synthesis and remixing the way that Bally has achieved here. To fuse Synth-Pop with classical elements of Qawwal? Is no mean feat.Also, none of Nusrat ji's vocals (IMHO) are compromised in any shape or form by the remixing. If anything they are amplified and rendered so much more playful.Which brings us back to the reason why NFAK inspires so many in his own way- when he sings "Piya Ghar aya" or "Sanu Rog lawr walaya"- what does IT MEAN TO YOU? Bally added a hip, funky, cool energy and for me, the end product is better than the sum of the parts.Bally, wherever you are, keep on. NFAK Ji, we still make dua for you.-A Fan of all things that sound good.

This CD continues to knock my socks off - even though I've had it for about ten years! I love the more traditional CDs by Nusrat but Bally Sagoo injects an electricity here that is incredibly infectious.
