Review

When the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomehni banned all music in Iran and declared it to be sacrilegious, his views by no means reflected the outlook of all Muslims. In fact, Islam's Sufi sect believes music to be a sacred and necessary element of spiritual life. Like Hindus, the Sufis passionately encourage meditation, dancing and chanting. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is a master of traditional Qawwali, the music of the Sufis. Soulful and hypnotic, Khan's passionate singing on these songs of praise underscores the richness and vitality of Sufi culture. While Qawwali music goes back centuries, the use of synthesizers adds a modern edge to the highly absorbing Mustt Mustt. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

Mustt Mustt is the first Qawwali fusion album collaboration between singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and guitarist and producer Michael Brook, although the album itself is credited purely to Khan. It was rock musician Peter Gabriel who suggested that Brook and Khan work together.[1] It was released in 1990 on Gabriel's Real World Records label.

This album, along with Night Song, contributed tracks to the remix album Star Rise.

The song "Mustt Mustt" was remixed by British trip hop group Massive Attack and was a club hit in the United Kingdom, being the first song in Urdu to reach the British charts.[1][2] It was later used in an advert for Coca Cola.[3]

Reception

Mustt Mustt was voted one of the Top 100 albums of the 1990s by American music magazine Alternative Press.[4] It reached #14 on the Billboard Top World Music Albums chart in 1991.[5] David Lynch of the The Austin Chronicle called the album a "seminal fusion".[6] British musician Nitin Sawhney said that it "changed the face of British music forever".[7] It was considered a "secularized" or "Western" version of Khan's other Qawwali albums.[3][4][8]
