explosion_1.jpgI bought this album last week but didn’t spend much time with it. Today I spent few hours listening to it. I wouldn’t say its the best Kannada music but I would for sure say its a change and the change looks good. The album explosion 1 by Basavanagudi based young team called Urban Lads is pretty cool. The album contains seven songs of Kanglish hip hop. The lyrics of “Just Missu” is good and funny. I enjoyed lines “guru naan sandeep..east end circlenalli police idukondu bittiddane….”. There is another called “preeti illade yenide” written by Jayant Kaikini and Sameer Kulkarni. I must appreciate Jayant Kaikini for working along such a young team. Its come out pretty well.

Overall its a decent album for Rs.99. Go get a copy.

Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman, May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, author, musician, poet and, of late, disc jockey who has been a major figure in popular music for five decades. Much of Dylan’s most recognized work dates from the 1960s, when he became an informal chronicler and a reluctant figurehead of American unrest. A number of his songs, such as “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “The Times They Are a-Changin’”,became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. His most recent studio album, Modern Times, released on August 29, 2006, entered the U.S. album charts at #1, making him, at age 65, the oldest living person to top those charts.[2] It was later named Album of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine.
