There are some fonts that imitate Arabic, but so far I haven't found an exact match. Catharsis Bedouin is one that's free. Linotype has one called Pide Nashi that also has a similar feel, and I think Scriptorium also has several faux Arabic fonts, with Serendib as the closest style in their collection to your sample.

chuck (nopattern, the designer of the cover) has once posted on a closed forum that the type was given to him by the label, so the chance of it being custom is there i'd say. writing him an email would maybe give you more information than waiting for an answer here.

Funny I just went thru an exhaustive search for a roman font with an arabic feel - ended up using ITC Braganza which is a little less kitsch than the samples above but still has a calligraphic flair.

well apparently, when you go to the nopattern website... you will see that the cover art and type was created by rostarr... http://www.rostarr.com/ who is an amazing artist. He recently had a showing with the Black Market Gallery and much of his work is Asian/Arabic calligraphy infused... thanks for the head's up!
