I'm an avid Bangla music album collector in this hobby since 2012. Having grown up in the "Underground" era of Bangla band music, I took the initiative to archive and upload album artworks. Till now, I've been recognised and acknowledged by various artists, bands, streaming and label companies for my work on Bangla CD Covers. There's a high chance most artwork you see floating around the internet are scanned by me!

Kranti by Kranti

'Kranti' is a musical project of pioneer composer Fuad-Al-Muqtadir. The band consists of Fuad-Al-Muqtadir himself, Anila Naz Chowdhury, Shihab Mahboob Morshed and Richard Dipon Modhu.

The track ' Amra Kromosho ' was a Bangla Cover of Evanescence 's ' Bring Me to Life '.   [click on the images to view larger sizes] Track List 01. Intro 02. Shohobash 03. Shotto Prolap 04. Ke? 05.

Live Now [Band Mixed Album]

'Live Now', released in 2007 in collaboration with 'Shabab Murshid Foundation' , is a mega-hit band mixed album. It featured the lineup of bands like Artcell, Nemesis, Aurthohin Black, Cryptic Fate, The Watson Brothers, Arbovirus and some new bands. The main story behind 'Live Now' is however the untimely death of Shabab Murshid . Despite being healthy, he passed away suddenly on May 10th, 2005. Till today, the family members don't know the reason of his death. In an initiative to prevent such events, the Foundation decided to reach out to people by releasing an album to raise funds, and promote CPR and other healthcare techniques among the youth in collaboration with BIRDEM. The musicians who have contributed to this album have expressed that they felt honoured to be part of this noble initiative. Music-wise, this is one of the best band mixed albums of all time.
