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!

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.

Paper Rhyme by Paper Rhyme

"Paper Rhyme" is the debut self-titled album by popular Bangladeshi '90s pop-rock band Paper Rhyme . It was released in 1996 from Soundtek in cassette format. Nearing the millennium, it received a CD release on "Silver Disc". Paper Rhyme was a band that formed in 1992, with the lineup of: Ahmed Saad , Nasser Haque , Rashed Iqbal , Aninda Kabir Avik and Schumann Zaman . Rashed and Nasser were part of popular pop-rock trio "Masrur-Rashed-Nasser" , with two albums called Lesson-1 and Lesson-2 . The band produced only one album and then "disappeared" as they like to say it after '96, but actually the band members went their different ways in life. They were in hiatus until in 2017, when they reunited (with the absence of Rashed Iqbal) for one last studio performance in a '90s bands compilation album called "Abar" , with the song, "Darao Bondhu" . Paper Rhyme's biggest hit to this day is the song called "On
