Released just months after his death, this album is a collaboration with the Canadian ensemble the D.O.A. (not the punk band, but the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment). It is classical meets Qawwali, and it is unexpectedly brilliant. The strings of a Western orchestra swell beneath Khan’s furious improvisations, creating a sense of tragic grandeur. The closing track, "Tum Ek Gorakh Dhando," has an almost cinematic sadness, as if Khan knew he was leaving. It serves as a fitting, elegant epilogue to his explosive career.

This is a fascinating hybrid album. It pairs Khan with Canadian producer Michael Brook, who layered ambient textures and subtle guitar drones beneath Khan’s voice. The result is haunting, almost post-rock. The track "Longing" strips away the harmonium and clapping, leaving just Khan’s voice echoing over a sparse, shimmering landscape. Purists were divided, but Intoxicated Spirit proved that Khan’s voice was so powerful it could redefine the genre of any song it touched. It is a late-night, solitary listen—the perfect antidote to the explosive joy of a live recording.
