Hate to say that my head isn't in a place to think about such a question at the moment.

When I want to hear some Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan I always go for this track Shams Ud Doha Badar Ud Duja (only because it's the only song I know by him but it's fantastic.

Thanks for posting this, I hadn't listened to him for a few years. Listening to this forty three minute version of the song right now and loving it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1DXLxqmaHU

Lyrics http://nusrat.info/shamas-ud-doha-badar-ud-doja/ dripping with spiritual love.

-That's the first song from him I ever heard back when I was in college. I haven't heard it since then, it was on a mixed tape a friend made for me that I've long since lost. I've actually tried to find the song but had NO IDEA what the title was. I can't tell you how glad I am right now. Eyes are welling up with nostalgia. Damn dude, thanks. I'm very grateful.

It was on an album that Peter Gabriel put out call Passion Sources, all stuff that inspired his soundtrack for the Last Temptation of Christ. It's a good album but this is one of the two or three really amazing cuts.
