Weakest Rizwan Muazzam Album

"This is the weakest of the traditional Rizwan Muazzam albums. Firstly the recording quality is bad, it was recorded in pakistan and is extremely muted. The upper half of the frequency spectrum is completely absent.



Nusrat fans will recognize song 1, which Nusrat called "To Karimi" which is on the "final recordings" album. The last song is the traditional "Rang Hai Nai". The rest are new Rizwan-Muazzam songs. There are seven songs on this cd, about 10 minutes each, which means they have to squeeze in the performances. This makes for lackluster performances of the songs here, not too much improvisation. The singers don't seem in improvising form during this recording.



I'd recommend getting "Sacrifice to Love", for those who are just exploring this group."
