It's been a long time coming, but this Monday [08 March 2004], the wait is finally over.

"Maazi Haal Mustaqbil" by Mizraab hits music stores across Pakistan, with a year's worth of feverish hype firmly behind it. Much is expected and should be delivered here. Now settled in to new fatherhood, guitar legend Faraz Anwar returns with an unsurprisingly excellent new album and a completely new line-up of Jamie Mustafa [Rhythm Guitars], Faraz Arshad [Bass Guitars] and Irfan Ahmed [Drums]. Featuring guest background vocals by Dusk's wild man of rock, Babar Sheikh.

The new year brings with it new hopes and dreams. This is especially true for the oppressed and suppressed who are looking for the light as the end of the tunnel. But they know from their long experience that emancipation will not be theirs without a struggle. Freedom can sometimes be achieved by breaking the shackles that constrict the mind.

Each track has been conceived, nurtured and developed to perfection with powerful production values and vocals to some of the hardest-hitting lyrics ever penned.

If you already like Mizraab, this album will be right up your street! If you don't know about this band, this will be the perfect starting point for what could easily be your best discovery of the year!
