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!

Chaina Bhabish by Arnob

"Chaina Bhabish" is the debut album of revolutionary Bangladeshi fusion artist Shayan Chowdhury Arnob. This album was released on May, 2005 from Ektaar Music and is considered one of the best albums ever produced during that time because of the fresh sound that had cemented the legacy of Arnob among the youth of Bangladesh. One of the tracks that Arnob was well known for before the release of Chaina Bhabish, was "She Je Boshe Ache". Although he composed the song, it was coveted alternative rock band Black who performed it in the 2004 teleplay, "Off Beat", as the title track. This song was the turning point of Arnob, and is still considered his most popular song to this day. He produced an acoustic version of this particular song for this album.

Arnob garnered a huge following from Chaina Bhabish and has a cult following even after being over 15 years in the music industry of Bangladesh as a solo artist, at the time of this writing.

Sahana Bajpaie, Arnob's ex-wife, also gave additional vocals in many tracks. Sahana, Taufique and Saron da contributed in writing a lot of the songs featured in the album as mentioned in the album sleeves.

The album is available from streaming in the GAAN app available for both Android and iOS. Moreover, the album can also be streamed from Ektaar's official YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/M57vYE_JII0

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
