Summary
Intoxicated Spirit is a live album by the Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan with his Party, released in 1996 on Shanachie, recorded in Pakistan with the voices of his troupe, tabla and harmonium, and supported by a North American tour. 1 2 The article reports, from the Recording Academy, that it was nominated for the Grammy for Best Traditional Folk Album, without giving the year. 1
Reception
Robert Christgau wrote that its Sufi ecstasy runs closer to the surface and wilder than on The Last Prophet; Newsday found that the Western trappings of his recent performances were gone, leaving him free to weave Sufi poetry and driving percussion; and The Washington Post wrote that 'Ruk Pe Rehmat Ka' reaches a transcendent elation. 1 It has four pieces: 'Yeh Jo Halka Halka', 'Ruk Pe Rehmat Ka', 'Be Wafa' and 'Meri Saqi Saqi Yeh'. 1
