Someone asked here why he does more period films instead of commercial.. I will tell you why.
Rising is ARR at his best! Well, it is difficult to decide what is ARR's best, the list is long.. Not surprisingly, rising is more classical and folk, but with a twist. He has used synthesized sounds and tech effects stunningly! Some reused beats, but that is insignificant in front of the overall genius of the work. First of all, I have to acknowledge Javed Akhtar's brilliant work without which the tracks probably wouldnt be the same. Vocal control is pretty much airtight on the spot.. especially for the 'sur' demanded by ARR. Kailash Kher takes the cake! Technically, Rising is brilliant. Innovation wise it keeps one hooked to the new sounds and classical tunes - and yet again very very addictive. (i need to sleep.. almost time to wake up) Of all tracks, Mangal Atma is the most emotional piece. As the song progresses ones heart can't help but visualise Mangal's last moments. Silence is a very powerful technique when used well. ARR bring out his talent to do justice to what is to be the most heart wrenching scene in the movie. From the grief of the dawn when he is to be hanged, and the courage one garners just before he is, to the moments when one can't get hold of what just happened. It is orchastrated brilliantly to follow the audience's emotions with the storyline.. as only ARR can. Someone asked here why he does more period films instead of commercial. Answer: He does so because no one else can do justice to the heroes of our motherland. I cant wait to see the movie!! A note: this is a headphone album, average speakers just wont do justice. -S This August, Discover the Birth of Your Independence and The Magic of A.R.Rahman's Music in Mangal Pandey - The Rising http://www.risingthefilm.com http://www.mangalpandeythefilm.com Music released: Jul 14, 2005 Movie releases: Aug 12, 2005 Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.
