• ‘Khyber Mail’ is a concept album designed to invoke images and sounds of a high speed Pakistani freight train travelling from Karachi to Peshawar, dominated by Sohail Rana's whining and addictive electric keyboard and a motoric rhythm section of beaty percussion and sitars, introducing a form of radical patchwork pop and mechanical music to a warm receptive audience.

• By combining the folk music of the Sindh and the Punjab with maverick sounds, signatures and rhythms, ‘Khyber Mail’ marks a landmark shift in the Pakistani pop industry, kick-starting a lengthy career for one of its best loved musical patrons while setting a challenging new standard for the "plugged-in" Lollywood pop scene that would explode at the turn of the decade.
