Sharing the good news on Instagram, the officials captioned the thread of pictures, “Today we are very proud to announce the release of Chain of Light — a lost album by the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Party. It will be released by @realworldrec on 20 September 2024… Joined by his eight-strong party of singers and musicians, Chain of Light presents four traditional qawwals — including one which has never been heard before — and captures Khan at the height of his vocal capabilities in pristine sonic quality. The recording was made at @realworldstudios in April 1990, during the same time he worked on Mustt Mustt, his seminal crossover album with Canadian producer Michael Brook… Buried deep in a warehouse storage space at Real World Studios and unearthed whilst the label was relocating its archive in 2021, the April 1990 tape recording that comprises Chain of Light finds Khan at a crossroads, on the cusp of global greatness… CD, standard LP and limited edition LP versions of the album are available now to pre-order.”
