Saagar (Urdu: ساگر; Hindi: सागर; transl. Sea) is the debut album by the Pakistani pop rock band, Fuzön, released in January, 2002[1][2] by Amazing Productions/Empire Music Limited in Pakistan and by Virgin Records in India.[3][4] The album is also known eponymously as Fuzön[1][5] and was re-released in 2004 by the Sound Master record label.[6] Saagar is noteworthy for embedding elements of Hindustani classical ragas within pop rock and jazz compositions, and it is widely considered a pathbreaking album for the way it revolutionized Pakistani music in the 2000s. The album also made history by becoming the first album to be released by a band simultaneously in both India and Pakistan.[7][8]
