Except track #1 “Savera” and #4 “Xerua xubakh (A tribute to Late Jayanta Hazarika”, ” these songs were written and performed during 70’s. Vishal J.Singh (Critically acclaimed International Music Producer/Guitarist and founder member of Avant-Garde Jazz metal band “Amogh Symphony”) and singer/composer Kasturi Nath Singh (who is also mother of Vishal and sister of Prasanta Kumar Nath) decided to make modern fusion version of these lost songs. The full album has total 7 songs all composed by Music Director Prasanta Kumar Nath in collaboration with various veteran Lyricists in Assamese music Industry (except 1 Hindi song composed and written by Kasturi Nath Singh).

“This album is a very special experience to me. Musically, the idea was to do “less” instrumentation and “less” layering while creating songs that creates perfect atmosphere with gentle vibe of soberness and good nostalgic moments of listeners. While arranging this album, I made sure that the songs remain the same in sequence and order, without losing it’s originality. This is my first assamese album (Considering Vectorscan is an experimental record). My intention in this record is to create a bridge between veteran music composers and modern new age music producers (which is not a new thing but I just tried to do the connection properly). Hope you guys enjoy. Thank you all.” – Vishal J.Singh
