Prologue : Lets Go Back to 1999.  Bombay Black was a collective of musicians and bands formed in 1999 in Bombay (not known as Mumbai yet). Musical hedonism and collective motivation would borrow from electronica, rock, fusion, even metal and rap and jazz to 'baptize' this collective. Literally crystallized out of an accidental gathering of Bombay's best underground talent circa 1999. Never formalized in any way imaginable now, The Bombay Black crew created a genuine ruckus in the indie music circles of India circa 2000. Their music created a domino effect which was to be felt more than a decade on in India. Produced by Lindsay D, Samrat B, Paresh K & Randolf C, these two albums remain to date as the most ecletic and electronic adventures created to represent an Indian subculture. That of Bombay, during 1998 - 2002. Volume 1 and 2 showcased a gamut of DIY producers and composers such as Anand Subaya, Abhijeet Nalani, Dhruv Ghanekar, T2, Tyrone and Floyd Fernandez, Vishal Dadlani, Kurt and Karl Peters, Jaydeep Thirumalai on various songs and in various production combos. Inspired and plotted in make shift ad-hoc home studios ( dotted along the suburbia of Bombay) the sound was not preconcieved nor planned. 

The undefined idea of Bombay Black was directed to create unique yet hybrid forms of music. "We don't know how all the sounds and genres always eventually blend in. We practically had no clue how it was going to be" states Paresh Kamath who had traversed 10 odd years of heavy metal, jazz, fusion and even desi-pop till the explosion of Bombay Black, literally aided and abetted in his backyard. SamratB and Randolf Corriea being pivotal to push the edgy electronic sounds and feelings into a pot-boiler of genres. " We were slammed by incoming music like Drum & Bass, Jungle, Dub, Techno and there was not telling what what would be the next wave.

The involved 'junta' of musicians and producers gradually trailed out into their respective careers, ambitions and scenes, while some made it to the track and sound of Bollywood. It ends there? Not really and there remains lots to tell.
