8 3 Doors Down— The

_ Better Life tee

(Republic)

Debut recording from
this young Mississippi quar-
tet is devoid of context.
Despite their southern roots
the alternative rock sound
could be from anywhere.

There are good tunes
throughout: “ tonite”,
“Duck and Run”, and “So 7
Need You” make it hard to
take 3 Doors Down out of
the CD player.

M@ Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
produced and mixed by
Bally Sagoo — Afagic Touch
kkk* (Music Club)

A reissue of Bally Sagoo’s
Bollywood reworkings of
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s
Qawwali music.

Nusrat had already .
opened the traditional music
of North India to modern
influences before Bally Sagoo
got hold of the tapes. His
musical family trace their
genealogy back to the six-
teenth century mystic musi-
cian Haji Ma’Roof.

Nusrat, who died in
August of 1997, recorded
more than 100 albums in the
Punjabi language. He aiso
worked on film soundtracks
with rock musicians such as
Peter Gabriel and Eddie
Vedder.

Birmingham DJ Bally
Sagoo used Nusrat’s music
for Magic Touch, part of a
series of remix albums he
made for the Oriental Star
Agency. James Brown, Latin
disco, North Indian classical
music and Punjabi poctry are
combined to great effect in
this brilliant collection.
