Crest, the collaborative album by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Michael Brook, is a stunning fusion of traditional Pakistani qawwali music and Western electronic soundscapes. The album features Khan's powerful vocals and Brook's innovative guitar work, blending together to create a unique and mesmerizing sound.

Throughout the album, Khan's vocals soar over Brook's intricate instrumentation, creating a rich and textured musical landscape. The songs range from upbeat and energetic to slow and contemplative, showcasing the full range of Khan's vocal abilities.

One standout track is "Sweet Pain," which features a haunting melody and a driving beat that builds to a powerful crescendo. Another standout is "Intoxicated," which features a hypnotic rhythm and Khan's soaring vocals.
