Real World Records

'...finds him at his most innovative, exploring new ideas and untraditional directions, with subtle elements of polyphony and harmony enriching his composing.'

Press review from: The Wire (UK)

'If this moves his music more easily towards the Western ear, his real genius is that he achieves this without compromising the visceral Pakistani traditions that provide the basis for his music.'

Press review from: The Wire (UK)

'Four awesome, danceable religious tracks, with enough epiphanic power to whisk the grumpiest non-believer on a journey.'

Press review from: Time Out (UK)

'...ravishing with a sustained intensity.'

Press review from: Mojo (UK)

'...one of his best, going hand in hand with the eponymously titled Shahen Shah and later Shahbazz which are the more traditional albums he has made for Western listeners...I cherish every minute of this album.'

Press review from: World Music (UK)

'If you MUST listen to mood-inducing music while you space out, why not try something really interesting, like this modern incarnation of Sufi devotional music? Truly hypnotic, with crescendos to boot.'

Press review from: Sky (UK)

'...there is no denying the sensual beauty pouring out of this recording. Its hypnotic, circular rhythms are spellbinding and the vocals come at you like heat-blasted dreams from another world.'
