About Flight IC408

\"Flight IC408\" is a track by British-Asian electronic music producer State of Bengal (Sam Zaman). The composition appears as the fifth track on the album The Namesake, released on March 6, 2007. The album arrived via the American label Rounder Records in CD format.

The track spans 4 minutes and 3 seconds. It blends elements of Asian Underground electronica with traditional South Asian instrumentation, reflecting State of Bengal’s signature fusion of Bengali folk motifs, breakbeat rhythms, and ambient textures. The album The Namesake served as the official soundtrack for Mira Nair’s 2006 film of the same name, though the track itself does not appear in the film’s final cut. No additional details about the recording sessions, contributing musicians, or lyrical content are publicly documented.

State of Bengal’s work on The Namesake marked a departure from his earlier solo productions, aligning with a broader cinematic context while retaining his experimental approach to global fusion. The album received distribution in North America and Europe, with Rounder Records handling physical and digital releases during the period. No singles or alternate versions of \"Flight IC408\" were issued separately from the parent album.
