Indian Ocean also known as (A Musical Voyage With No Frontiers)[1] is the debut album from Indian Ocean.[2] The band's first album, recorded in just 10 days at HMV's Dumdum studio, Kolkata, in December 1992.[2] Shaleen Sharma played the drums on this album.[2][1] This is the only album in which Shaleen Sharma was present;[3][2][1] in 2004 when he left the band[2][3] he was replaced by Amit Kilam[4][3][2] Released on cassette[5] initially and later on CD[1] selling over 40,000 copies an incredible amount for the time.[2] This was a purely instrumental album with only a line or two sung by Asheem.[1] It was a fluid album and defined the true sound of Indian Ocean before they became more of a pop band. Recording engineer for this album was Raja Mukherjee. Cover concept was done by Manas Chakrabarti. The graphic design work was done by Navin Shiromani.[5][1] The Durgapal family gave Indian Ocean all their time, patience and space while Indian Ocean prepared for this recording.
