THE UNDERGROUND, DELHI – THE BEST OF WHAT’S NEXT
(Volume -1)
Saregama, Rs. 150
This one is a ground-breaking album in many senses. The effort from Saregama to bring to the fore some lesser know musicians is worth appreciation. But then again, since when did bands like Cyanide, Jalebee Cartel or even East India Company come under the not-so-well-known category?
Still, the album has a collection of some good and interesting songs. There are 10 musicians and a track by each one of them.
The Underground series is beyond genres or language. Toeing the lines of MLTR is The Wind by Thomas Tajo, a visually impaired singer. The soft romantic number has a nice feel to it. 1000 Miles by Oritus is a rock track with a streak of melody. Virtual Love by Sawan Dutta is the next song. A fast-paced jazz-rock ballad is how she describes it. In this era of World Wide Web, it talks about cyber romances. Khuda Kushi by Milli Bhagat is a very global sounding number with an Indian soul.
The vocals start only a minute into the song, which makes it seem semi-instrumental. East India Company has come up with another masterpiece with “OMO”. In or Out by Jalebee Cartel is a typical electro and techno street track, and has all the elements that made the band a hit abroad.
