Indus Creed

Note: This post ends abruptly... You've been warned.

I don't think I'll ever get bored of listening to Indus Creed's self-titled album. From the amazing string picking intro on Fly to the amazing chord change in the chorus in Trapped, to the wacky lyrics on Best Friend, the list can go on. I'm amazed that this album was released in 1995. The album would do well, even if it was released today!

The things I like about Indus Creed's music is the guitar work by Jayesh Gandhi and mahesh Tinaikar, especially the string picking on Fly, Pretty Child, Cry, the vocals by Uday Benegal and the lyrics. Consider the following lines from Trapped:
trapped in a dream and you can't even scream
'cos there's no one ever here
and
chased in a dream by a freshly rested team
of black horses drawing a hearse
Or the following from Cry:
under the ground beneath the bones
beneath the sadness, tilling stones
machines humming, insouciant drone
They were one amazing band!
