Body And Soul
Recorded shortly before theqawwalimaster's death,Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's  posthumous album is brimming with rich vocal harmonies, upbeat Indian rhythms,  and plenty of hand clapping. It is easy to understand why Ali Khan became such a  celebrated figure, for his music exudes passion and warmth. However, given thatBody and Soulfeatures four cyclical tracks that sprawl over 68 minutes,  it might not seem an ideal album for casual listeners. But even when played as  background music, people should find themselves drawn to many of the amiable  rhythms, even if some of the music runs a bit long. And Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan  aficionados will be left to debate howBody and Soulmeasures up against  the rest of his catalog.--Bryan Reesman
