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!

Doob by Arnob

"Doob" is the third studio album by the multi-talented Bangladeshi fusion artist, Shayan Chowdhury Arnob. It was released in April of 2008 from Bengal Music Company (BMC) ltd. This was a follow-up of his hit album, "Hok Kolorob" and featured his new music, rather than old remade songs during his Shantiniketan days. It featured great hits like, "Shopno Debe Doob", "Adhkhana", "Lukiye", "Chai" and "Rastay". Arnob continued to hold his legacy with the release of this album, which was greatly sponsored by Nokia during their operations in Bangladesh.

In the album sleeves, Arnob mentions that this album was a work of 6 months, where he submerged himself in his musical works. It could be even interpreted as a diary of a challenging musical journey.

Arnob also dedicated this album to his wife at that time, Sahana Bajpaie, and mentions that thanking her simply is pointless because she itself is part of his music. Sahana also contributed much in the lyrics of many songs as well as providing backing vocals in the track "Adhkhana". For the track "Shopno Debe Doob", Sahana also used a excerpts from the poems of Shonkho Ghosh, dubbing it a collage of sort. Faruk, Fariha, Anisul Haque, Shotorupa Roy and Rajib Ashraf contributed writing the other songs with Arnob. Saad contributed with the guitar solo in "Shopno Debe Doob", the MAK played the guitar in "Akash Kalo" and performed a solo in "Rastay", Andrew played the saxophone in "Chai", Zohad (Vocalist/Frontman of Nemesis) provided backing vocals in "Rastay" while Idris Rahman played the flute in the final track, "Noyon Tomare" (which is a Rabindra Sangeet).

The album can be streamed legally using the GAAN app available on both Android and iOS. Moreover, the song "Rastay" has a music video, with guest appearance by Zohad, which can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/28jdgezxWaA?t=45s

A Few Words

Welcome to Bangla CD Covers. I'm on a quest to collect Artwork of CDs that are no longer in print. Here is a table to let you know what I already have here - * Coloured fields are the things I currently don't have, mainly because those are paperbacks and not the usual Jewel Case version that are known to exist and I haven't come across yet. * N/A depicts 'Not Applicable', meaning they haven't been made even in Jewel Case versions. NOTE - If you have the things in the coloured fields please help me out in completing my goal. Scan the particular and comment on the box below. *Agontuk 2 maybe a re-release paperback, still looking for the original Jewel Case.

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
