A friend gave me a discman yesterday, so the ‘90s are back! Headed by Bangladeshi Brit Choque Hosein, Black Star Liner released the Rock Freak EP in ‘97, and Bengali Bantam Youth Experience in 1999.
A Philips portable CD player, an open copy of the Bengali Bantam Youth Experience CD showing the CD itself on the right, and the cover of the Rock Freak CD displaying 4 mannequins wearing bindis and saris with palms pressed together in greeting.
