Indian Ocean (band)

After the departure of Susmit Sen in 2013, Rahul Ram is the only founding member who appeared on the band's debut album Indian Ocean.

[3] It has also been described by some music critics as "Indo-rock fusion with jazz-spiced rhythms that integrates shlokas, sufism, environmentalism, mythology and revolution".

The main reason for this move was the frustration over negotiating contracts with record companies and fighting over copyright issues.

For the next 3 years, with Sen as the guitarist and Chakravarty on tabla and drums, they experimented with their music without writing original lyrics.

The band recorded a demo, with the help of Sen selling his electric guitar to raise the required money.

[citation needed] In 1991, Rahul Ram who was Sen's schoolmate at St. Xaviers, Delhi, joined the band replacing Anirban Roy on bass.

This line-up with Susmit Sen, Asheem Chakravarty, Rahul Ram and Amit Kilam became the most recognisable and the most successful in the band's timeline so far.

The album was recorded at Kshitij Studios, New Delhi and mixed by Aakash Gupta and Amit Kilam.
