It was gathering dust tucked away in a diary for quite sometime when, after a gap of two years, I suddenly found it, and like an ex-flame, it stirred unspoken feelings inside me. I worked on the music composition for a couple of days and things fell into place,".〔(Musician/Songwriter Jim Ankan Releases New Assamese Music Video ‘Xobdor Porisoy’ ), ''Indianmusicmug.com''〕 Artwork of the album is done by Bangalore based artist Trinayan Bora and Pranjal Barua. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Timeless (Jim Ankan Deka album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
