DIL SE! How wonderful to know that soo many other people share the same opinion. Yes, Raham undoubtedly has lots of great masterpieces, but Dil Se, is from his heart (and no pun intended here).
For a music director, the biggest challenge is to create something new, distinct and creative. However, not be off to a tangent, since then it won't be accepted. Dil Se is that album that pleased the masses and classes, brought a revolution in music; and will be there forever. Starting with chart-breaking, mindblowing Chaiya chaiya - that installed Sukhwinder as one of THE energetic singers, to one of Lata best fusion-based number - Jiya jale. Followed by Rahman's cry from the heart - Dil Se. Thaiya thaiya is the ultimate parallel song ever done (2 songs with the same tune..)..similiar tune and yet so different....i am sure everyone noticed how there are multiple level of 'beats' or markers in terms of intrument appregios to drums. To toast it, the 2 best songs (IMHO) - Ae Ajnabi - by my fav - Udit narayan. This song can make me cry, and happy at the same time!! The tears due to the amazing melody, and the happiness -- the emotion of being transported into a world of unparalleled melody! And then the other master piece - Satrangi Re. What can I say? Everything from the accordians to guitars to Sonu's silken voice is marvellous. Every note, every tone is so painstakingly created. And - to just be able to create such a complex composition, and yet make it to easy to listen to......Rahman -- you are a genius!! Top it all with brilliant lyrics by Gulzar....what more can one want!! ----------- Additionally, some of my other favourite, or candidates for 10/10 Rahman creations: - Bombay - Swades - Taal - Zubeeida - 1947 Earth - KKS -Ricky --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "Ajit" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Rahman fans, > > I have been listening to Dil Se after a long time and realize what a > true gold mine this soundtrack presents.
