Zero Degree Atoll's 2nd Album

Their first album Dhoni was pure genius. I was in my early teens when I first listened to the tape of Dhoni. At that time it was too expensive for me to buy my own. But since I liked it so much my boss gave a tape to me as a gift. A white colored tape. With a nice picture of a Dhoni flying on the cover. All the things are written in English, not handwritten. It was one of a kind. From the cover to the music inside.

I was used to wonder-mark and pen hand written Haaburi and Dhohokobe tapes sold in audio shops of Male' who think that playing music the loudest makes them the biggest shop. Small one bedroom size shops with a large 15 story Velaanage size voice. Just like our band leader. A small man with a big mouth.

Now back to Zero Degree's 2nd Album. I'm now in my early thirties. Zero degree still has the same materials they produced when I was in my early teens. Close to 20 years and nothing new! How sad. The most creative musical act could not evolve. Why? When I last checked all the band members are still alive. They were playing to a teenage audience tonight at the Alimas carnival. But still the same stuff.

I am really sad. Can anyone answer why there was no 2nd Album? And will there ever be one?
