For me Rangeela didn't click instantly. I was a recent convert (not since roja but since Urvashi) to ARR and was hoping something great from him. With a lot of expectations, I fetched the cassette and heard it, and in the first listen, none of the beauty of the album got revealed to my mind. Asha's two songs sounded so banal, so sort of naked, little music, sort of poems spoken, and that loud kid voice in contrast, and hai rama sounded totally south-indian, Yaron Sun lo and kya kahein sounded situational gossiping songs. I only liked Mangta Hai kya in the first listen. I and one of my friend that had similar expectations who was listening with me had both a let-down splashed on our faces. We looked at each other with an expression - this is what ARR gives, in a disdain. Then we laughed in sort of "bewqoof ban gaye ye cassette khareed kar", "paise barbaad". I continued listening to it, and in a week or 10 days, the music had started making sense and then I listened to it for some six months. Mangta Hai Kya became my most fav arr song till it was pushed to second fav by ye jo zindagi hai of 1947earth. Such type of experiences make us fans realize that we had been wrong in our assessment of our man, so we remain careful not to denounce any of his offerings in a rush, that's why we remain devoted to him, and it pays because his songs do have magic that gets revealed sooner or later. > Swades It didn't ever "click" with me but it was likeable enough in the first hearing itself. > Water Now that the dust of water has settled, I can say that though it was good and soothing, it didn't live up for me on ARR's own claim of his best ever music. Could be that the ages of wait for the album had tired me out, had raised my expectations to skies that the album eventually didn't live up to. Even now, I can say that I found 1947 Earth far far better than Water. > Kandukondain Kandukondain Have heard all his tamil albums, but not able to recall by title. -- rawat > > --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "light4_u" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> The entire Ghajini album was an instance clicked to me only by 15 >> sec songs provided by chord, just by listening once.
