Sorry for posting this here I tried JA songs many times, but its not working for me. May be i'm not qualified to understand his new standards.I also failed to understand the greatness of "Ek lo ek muft" from Guru. BTW...i'm eagerly waiting for 3 AR albums, I think this talented (young) directors will bring back my fav "ar rahman". 1.Abbas Tyrewala - Jaane tu ya jane na 2.Gautham Menon - Chennaiyil oru mazhaikalam 3.A.R Murugadoss - Ghajini Hindi --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, "Chord" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] .> wrote: > > If you're stuck in time, anything Rahman produces now will never > satisfy you because he's not looking back. > > --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, "shanavas.chemmamku zhi" > <shanavas.chemmamku zhi@> wrote: > > > > I'm waiting for "Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikalam" and "Ghajani hindi".
