I really loved the track Colourblind. Have to still listen to the rest. Reminds me of what good ‘ol rock sounds like.
This album is called ‘the perfect album’ .. because all the songs are good, Ram Sampaths composing and lyrics are really a benchmark for Indian Bands.
By far the best studio rock album to be released from Indian shore. Let ‘em not fade off. Bring these guys to the fore once again .. release their CDs asap !!
i second that Bobby.
i loved the album and also have a cassette, they set the indian rock scene on fire. i also loved the Blast video featuring Laila Rouss
One ofmy all time fav bands , you should listn Sid’s solo’s .. specially the one with Warren called ‘purple rain’.. awesome’
Thanks a pile! Loved the band, Loved the album
God Bless!
Thanks to Sid Acherekar for providing us these songs
. awesome band .. also check out Siddharth Achrekar’s Solo effort .
Always wished I could see more of you guys!
Colourblind was a landmark. I remember waking up to the music video one morning and calling up Rajeev (drummer of Thermal And A Quarter) and telling him: “Dude, you have to watch this… You’ll love the sound!”
In a professional capacity I met Ram Sampath in 2002 (after he had scored the music for Ram Madhvani’s ‘Let’s Talk’. He said to me, as an aside after the interview, that Colourblind the band had not been viable. Sid, of course, we remember from Zero.
Also, it was disappointing not to see Colourblind, definitely an epochal music video and a breakaway sound (keyboard intro, who would think!) covered in an article written recently by Indiecision’s Arjun S Ravi on MTV Iggy.
