Talaash (Urdu: تلاش, literal English translation: "search") is the second studio album of the Pakistanisufi rock band Junoon, released on September 3, 1993. The album was to be their first with bassist Brian O'Connell, who joined the band after Nusrat Hussain departed from the band to pursue his career as a solo artist and released his debut album Amrit in 1992. This was also the first Junoon album produced by Salman Ahmad and O'Connell, both also went on releasing several other albums by Junoon before O'Connell left the band after Dewaar in 2003. The album also served as a soundtrack for the Pakistani television show Talaash, which featured the band and its novel storyline was based on the band.
The only single from the album was "Talaash" which is a socio-political song written by lead guitarist Salman Ahmad. Other popular songs from the album include "Heeray", "Woh" and "Bheegi Yaadein". The instrumental song "Aap Aur Hum" (also known as "Jugalbandi") was covered by American rock band Black Leaf Clover, adding vocals, additional instrumentation, and titling it "Breathe" in 2009.[2]
The album contained a total track list of twelve songs with six tracks being in Urdu language, three tracks in English and three instrumentals. The album was recorded at Sound on Sound Studios in Karachi and was mixed by Tahir Gul Hasan.
Junoon were not an over night success, the band members struggled for the first few years. Their self-titled debut album, Junoon, recorded at the EMI Studios in Karachi barely made a dent in the Pakistani music industry when released in January 1991.[3] After the release of their debut album, Nusrat Hussain parted ways with the band to pursue his own career as a solo singer and went on to release his debut solo album Amrit in 1992.[4]
After the departure of Nusrat Hussain, Salman Ahmad contacted Brian O'Connell and invited him to play bass on the band's second album. Brian O'Connell quit his job as a social worker and traveled 10,000 miles to Karachi, Pakistan, where he reunited with his old friend. It was after ten years both the friends reunited.
