Sharique Roomi – Yakeen (Album Review)

September 6, 2009

Artist: Sharique Roomi Album: Yakeen** Sharique Roomi’s Yakeen should have ideally been titled: “Sharique Roomi and Kashan Admani”. For one thing, Kashan Admani (Mizmaar guitarist/producer) has played guitars and bass on almost every song except ‘Sab Darwaze’. Come to the album inlay and it is as disappointing as it gets.

Mauj – Now In Technicolor [Album Review]

June 28, 2009

There are two reasons why Now in Technicolour is annoying: the first is that it comes after a rather long time. If memory serves me right, it was slated for a Spring 2008 release and so it is a full year later that the album makes it to the streets. Often, such a long wait […]
