It has probably been one of the longest waits for the fans of underground music in Bangladesh or, to make it precise, for the Bangladeshi rock fans worldwide. Four years after launching its first album- Onno Shomoy, Artcell has released its second album- Aniket Prantor in April, 2006. This much anticipated album, from one of the leading progressive rock bands in the South-Asian subcontinent, mostly consists of typical Artcell music: the head whacking “artcell” compositions and notably progressive music. However, few songs in the album also depict a somewhat surprising soft rock genre.
