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!

Rabindranath by Shironamhin

"Rabindranath" is the 4th studio album by Shironamhin dedicated solely to Rabindranath Tagore and Rabindra Sangeet. It was released by Laser Vision in 2010. Although there are influences of Rock music, Shironamhin used various classical instruments to make their own renditions of 9 songs by Tagore. The band's vocalist Tuhin is actually an academically trained Rabindra Sangeet singer. The band believes that Rabindranath Tagore was a cultural institute for them. According to Zia, the band's bassist, this album was an attempt to popularize and familiarize Rabindra Sangeet to its younger fanbase. 39 acoustic instruments were played for the composition which the band had to arrange from all over the globe. For this album they used the rainmaker from Brazil, Darbuka from Egypt, Irish tin whistle and a Bodhran from Scotland.

The lineup for "Rabindranath" consisted of the following:

Zia: Bass
Tuhin: Vocals
Tushar: Guitars

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
