- Well, generally, I would call N.F.A Khan's music pumped! Mustt Mustt is by
- far the most laid back recording he's made. The attempt to Westernize the
- music on this recording is interesting and mostly successful, in my view,
- but you really should hear the trad stuff. The recordings Khan has made
- for the Womad label are paricularly fine.
