Indus Creed mp3s!!!!!
Had hunted my ass off for these mp3s, finally found them on a post on gigpad.com. Click here to download them. (This is a rapidshare upload. Thanks to superunknown from the comments below)
I was in the 8th Standard when I first heard 'Top Of The Rock', or rather watched it on MTV. One of the earliest acts to be featured on Asia-Centric MTV back then. Might sound real kooky, but I used to be so F**kin PROUD when this video used to air back to back with the likes of GNR, Nirvana, Metallica - the whole early 90s music deal. It was like India WAS THERE man...on MTV!!!!
I remember saving up and buying Rock N' Roll Renegade at Rhythm House (that used to be the only place anyways for 'inglish' music). Popped the tape in as soon I rushed home and was immediately confused. Wasn't 'Enemy Within' supposed to be a song or something? Why did it get over so soon?! Almost went back to Rhythm House to return the tape ("Dude, where's the first song?!") Then listened to 'Top Of The Rock' some seven times in a row and was in heaven. One of my all-time favourite leads. There's this song called 'Chains and Black Leather' which I just freaked out on. Some years later, the Pet Shop Boys came up with a song called 'Can you forgive her?' which had the exact same chorus - dunno if anybody has noticed that. Felt even prouder.
Bought 'The Second Coming' and then they aired the video for 'Pretty Child'. This must be one of the best rock songs to come out of India. Period. The tabla stuff (by Taufiq Qureshi I guess...) just melds so beautifully into the whole song, it's not 'majboori' fusion just pasted on to sound 'Indian'. Brilliant brilliant song and that saxophone solo just kicks your ass from here to Rang Bhavan and all the way back. And it's not an easy song to sing and Uday really shines on it. This video cracked the weekly MTV top 20 in Asia and peaked at no. 4 or 5. There was this magazine called 'Target' which then did an interview with these guys, I remember reading it again...and again...and again. Other songs of note were 'Cinderella', 'Bowl Of Madness', 'Die For Your Country', and 'Screaming Out' with it's flanger laden opening. Kick ass riff.
Then came the 'Indus Creed' thing - the album and the name change. Remember getting real upset over this, because I really thought 'Rock Machine' was a cool name. Why did they do it? WHY?!!! Got a glimpse of the 'Trapped' video on 'The World This Week' hosted by Prannoy Roy and some program on erstwhile DD2 and MTV. This was pretty cool too, since the last thing you'd expect anyone to report was an Indian Rock Band releasing an album. I guess this is true even today, just goes to show that this was no mean achievement, given that the 'rock scene' wasn't as 'big' ten years ago. The new album just was out of this world with crisp production and beautiful melodies. They used stuff like the sarangi, the flute and tablas. Loved the lyrics too. Fav Songs : 'Cry', 'Play' (BRILLIANT Keyboards), 'Fly' and of course 'Trapped'.
I caught them live once at Rang Bhavan, circa 1994. Very very tight band with a cool stage act, these guys knew how to work the crowd. Just wish that they would have stuck around a little while longer, would have killed for more material from them.

I am forever grateful to u for this effort. This is the only song that cheers me up. I am talking about pretty child by indus creed.
I hope they make a comeback in a grand sort of a way. - Sandesh
4:30 PM, May 10, 2006
after all the ppl thanking you, all I can say is I echo their feelings! all these days of incessant searching and all I managed was a low bit rate version . And then I stumbled upon your website! thanks a million mate!
10:10 PM, May 10, 2006
Yes, Yes, Yes, There is a GOD!!!
Mein Gott, where haven't I searched for these Beautiful beautiful mp3s. Uday Benegal, how he rocked, he used to live in 4 bungalows, and I used to see him every 2nd day, and then MTV came, and I was like, MAN OH MAN, I LIVE NEXT TO A ROCK STAR!!
Pure Nostalgic Joy. Bless you.
8:11 AM, May 13, 2006
Thanks Man ! Everytime I listen to "Crazy", my hair just stands on end. Just superb superb instrumentation, great midsong arrangement and as usual, fantastic guitar playing. Could easily pass for a Whitesnake track - I mean I can imagine David Coverdale singing that one. That one song ( though the lyrics could have been a better) is enough to show anyone that this was one kickass incredible Indian rock band.
4:18 PM, May 14, 2006
thanx a million i hunted my life down to get hold these great music, thanx
11:18 AM, June 04, 2006

I so badly wanted these and i've searched for these songs in Kazaa, Napster, Limewire, wherever else you can think, can someone who's downloaded these do the IndiRock community some good and host it up someplace? PLease? Pretty Please?

The link is not working as you said. The CD (Rock n Roll Rene) isn't in shops either. If you have a copy of MP3s let me know. I can put them up on my website.
Top of the Rock is very .... nostalgic.

6:40 PM, February 16, 2007
To whoever made this songs available I quote this following lines and dedicate it to you: You've made it feel like yesterday once more. The memories of college are rushing back. They have filled me with a nostalgic happiness which only I can understand. Whoever said you can't travel back in time. You've made my day, having ended my hunt of nearly a decade. Given a chance ever, I'll make yours. God Bless!!!
10:32 PM, February 23, 2007

I would like to remind you there is another fantastic song by Alms for Shanti ( Uday Benegal formed this group after indus broke up). It is called Kashmakash recorded in 2002. It is an unbelievable song which surprisingly never got noticed. I hope u guys can spread the message about the song.
Here is the link:

Wow!!! I have looked for these for so long! I'm in the UK, but heard these first staying with my cousin in Delhi when I was 7 years old. I'm 26 now, but still remember it clearly...
What a treasure - thank you so much!
6:41 PM, August 15, 2007
Thanks man! I first listened to Rock Machine in 1990 and I saw them perform live in 1995/96 in Bangalore. Ah those were the days! RM / Indus Creed are the only Indian band that mattered. I downloaded a few mp3s for nostalgia reasons. Cheers!

Tapan, thanks a bunch. I have had "Chains and Black Leather" on my mind for a while now and Google provided the link to your page. I echo all your sentiments. Thanks for the links. All 3 albums in 1 go. Absolute nostalgia. Watched them live in Pune (B.J. Medical College Grounds I think)

@Plasty Grove, thanks for the link. 've been hunting for indus creed albums in many stores without any luck. anyways, here's a rapidshare mirror for your upload (with unlimited downloads). The zip contains all three albums! Enjoy!!http://rapidshare.com/files/331580500/indus_creed.zip

1:22 AM, January 10, 2010
@superunknown:Thanks, I was hoping someone would come along and do exactly that. It took me 2 weeks to get it off torrents, after failing with a dedicated search on the net and sending mail requests to people. There are only 2 seeders and they're not always on, that's why I uploaded it first chance I got.
11:59 PM, January 23, 2010
I met my wife at a Rock machine Concert in !!!! of all places....Chandigarh. Being a Wilsonite I used to pile on at RangBhawan for their shows... Listening to them after a long time.... What & where are they???
