'Megher Deshe' is Sumon's 3rd solo work, perhaps his most ambitious one. It is a tribute to John Denver. Sumon describes in the album sleeves about how he came to know about Denver, and how his songs inspired him to do a cover in Bangla. It seemed like a wild idea, but it worked. And soon with the help of 'Khaled Bhai' of G-Series and Iqbal Asif Jewel, he released it in 2005. He also collaborated with Nazia and Elita (of Raaga) for the female vocals.

Sumon's 2nd solo album goes by the name 'Shopnogulo Tomar Moto'. This album consists mostly of mellow pop-esque songs that Sumon is known famously for. Released in 2001, this album is also a pinnacle in Sumon's solo career. He dedicates this to 'Rupok', the lyricist, who passed away untimely. 'Rupok' was also a close friend and lyricist of Artcell.

Khaled 'Bassbaba' Sumon, is a legendary figure in Bangla music scene. Not only as a bassist, he's also famous for being a very good album co-ordinator. His 'Agontuk' series proves that. However, before this, when he was the bassist for Warfaze, he released his first solo album 'Sumon O Aurthohin' in 1997. It featured 18 musicians of 8 heavyweight bands of that time. In the track 'Aurthohin' (which would later serve as a name for his own band) he featured the then vocalist of Warfaze, Sunjoy and 8 of the most prominent guitarists who played a staggering collection of 27 different solos. This was a big feat for Sumon, and from there onwards, he has made a great contribution to the Bangla music scene. [click on the images to view larger sizes]  Track List 01. Tomar Jonno Noy 02.
