Sumon, Anila and Fuad – Three High Caliber Artists, One Musical Masterpiece

Little needs to be said about the most powerful musician in the history of Bangladeshi music – Sumon bhai. He is a legend, with every single creation turned into gold. It doesn’t matter what numbers say about his record of sales, but music (in terms of perfect blend of creativity and emotions) everything that came from this artist is beyond doubt pioneering work. From Aurthohin till today, I find his works new and old, powerful and creative. You never get bored, you never get to say “Same old”.

Anila is the second Elita for Bangladesh, early in her career, she has no problem proving her potential. Amazing vocal calibration, especially in beautiful mid to high ranges of her voice: you get relaxed, purified and emotional. Just listen to Anila and Sumon in the track “Shopnogulo Tomar Moto” and “Ghum Pariye Diyo”, you’d be left speechless. This is what our country needs, wow, I didn’t know such artists evolve more than once, but they just do. Put that with Fuad, a mastermind of music mixing, truly fancy and trendy stuff, his stuffs always sounds fresh – just look what he did with this album… this is getting clichéd, but it is “amazing”.

True artists, people who break the barrier of tradition and redefine a new milestone. This album doesn’t stay with the leading edge of Bangladeshi music industry, but leads the edge itself. Worth buying? 150% Yes! tremendous achievement, excellent in terms of any comparison, I’m proud that my country, too makes music that defies the very best in the International industry. If I had the money, I would take these people abroad for performance and go global – this only proves that soulful artists will always lead the way. Thanks to everyone who made it happen, it means so much for people who still have taste and time for “quality” music. TWO THUMBS UP!

Blog Entry Built from Emotions – Land Rover LRX

Okay, wow! Just awwed at the all new Land Rover LRX – it’s probably the best looking SUV I’ve ever seen. The sleek looks, perfectly shaped lights, artistic roof, gorgeous interiors – what’s keeping this object of desire away from the streets? I hope the concept becomes reality soon – not that I’ll be ever able to afford one. Here are the comments by the guys at Land Rover while they were at Detroit Motor Show (2008): “The LRX concept delivers the powerful message that we are as serious about sustainability as we are confident about the continuing relevance and desirability of our vehicles,” says Phil Popham, Land Rover’s managing director. “LRX is in every respect a Land Rover, but it’s a very different Land Rover.

“LRX is a design born out of passion for the brand, but it is different, relevant, engaging and exciting – because Land Rover has never built ordinary cars,” says Gerry McGovern. “LRX has a highly desirable identity and the design alludes strongly to its capability, while clearly underlining our forward-looking philosophy – it’s a Land Rover that would be comfortable on Bond Street or Fifth Avenue, but wouldn’t flinch at getting its wheels dirty.”

“Flexible load-carrying capacity is fundamental to the concept of LRX,” says Gerry McGovern. “With this car, we’ve interpreted the idea of Land Rover ‘breadth of capability’ to be more about versatility and on-road dynamics than about ultimate off-roading. This meets the needs of the new customers that we believe would be attracted by this type of car; they will not only appreciate LRX’s flexibility, but will also recognise that it has been packaged with the highest levels of precision.”
