Nova (Bangladeshi band)

Nova is a Bangladeshi rock band formed in Dhaka in 1986 by Ahmed Fazal. They are considered to be one of the pioneers in psychedelic and progressive rock music in Bangladesh. The band rose to mainstream fame in the early 1990s, establishing themselves as one of the most popular bands of that time in Bangladesh. The band went into a hiatus in the 2000s but made a comeback with the album "Return of the Nova" released in 2010.[1][2][3][4]

gollark: YouTube uses 128kbps Opus.
gollark: Low meaning "<16kbps or so".
gollark: If you can afford really high bitrates FLAC is better because it's lossless, and at low ones it's apparently beaten by other stuff.
gollark: Opus is very cool because it is open/not patented or whatever and the best available codec for everything except really high or really low bitrates.
gollark: MP3 is apparently "transparent", i.e. sounds the same as uncompressed audio, at 256kbps or so, Opus at lower ones.
