A Class Apart

Guru

This album is one of A.R.Rahman's best so far, and the reasons are many. Each 
songs is treated in a unique way and grows on you. The rich orchestration and 
beat cycles are par excellence and the use of voices and harmony is amazing. 
One does not expect anything less than magic when Rahman and Gulzar team up, 
and the album lives up to the expectations. The track Tere Bina has a Sufi 
touch. The influence of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is evident in the chorus 
Dum Dara Dum Dara. Rahman's voice, which has matured from his Maa Tujhe Salaam 
days, is poignant. Noted composer Bappi Lahiri has sung the track Ek Lo Ek 
Muft, which suits his voice to the T. Mayya is a dance number influenced by 
Turkish music. But the real clincher is the duet Ay Hairathe, sung by Hariharan 
and Alka Yagnik. The music arrangement is worth emulating and the use of 
accordion is reminiscent of the old times. Baazi Laga is a fast-paced song 
featuring Rahman's favourites Udit Narayan and Madhushree. The last track, 
Jaage hain, sounds like a lullaby, but the rich choral ensemble is worth 
listening to. Rahman's fans and music lovers alike will surely thank him for 
this Christmas present.
