It was originally released by Pan Music (a CBS Records licensee before CBS was acquired by Sony and Pan became a Sony licensee). Later, BMG Crescendo (a BMG licensee in India briefly, founded by Suresh Thomas, an ex-Magnasound employee who took the BMG license which was till then with Magnasound with him) acquired Pan Music's portfolio and released it again on their label. When BMG was acquired by Sony and Sony entered India on its own, Crescendo went independent and survived. It no longer actively releases new titles but still re-releases some of its older titles. There is one ARR title on Crescendo, the Malayalam film 'Yodha' which was originally released by Yesudas' Tharangini Records whose portfolio is now licensed to Crescendo. And yeah, if anyone sees a CD of Yodha, I am interested.
On Colours, ARR is only credited as "Keyboards - Dilip". --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, r arvind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Not sure how many of you of heard of this album,Golden Krithis Colours - An Album With ARR as a Keyboard Player,of the First work of ARR in the music industry. > > Track List: > > 01 Quest for music (Raag Maaya Malava Gowla) > > 02 Valli Naayagane (Raag Shanmugha Priya) > > 03 Evolution ( RaagMaaya Malava Gowla) > > 04 Samajavaragamana (Raag Hindolam) > > 05 Abharaama Bhakti (Raag Bandhuvarali) > > > About The Album > > > > > > > The > album is a fussion of mainly two instruments, tabla and violin.
