[arr] Best song in ATM?

[rahmanforme]

My pick - Valayapatti Tamizha!

Re: [arr] ARR happy with ATM picturization

[Vithur]

This film is surely going to be a blockbuster and a milestone in Vijay's
career. when any actor joins hands with our Guru, it is bound to be success.


Its like a sloka in Bhagavad Geetha which says " Where there is Krishna and
where there is Arjuna, success would be obvious there". Whereever there is
Rahman, and for that matter any actor, there is bound to be success.

LONG LIVE ARR..

[arr] UJJAYINEE'S INTERVIEW - RAHMANIA SHOW

[Vithur]

Dear Friends,

With due regards to other friends, who wanted to post abt this Ujjayinee
Interview in Rahmania Show in 91.9 FM yesterday. I thought I can do it, a I
got a chance to hear the same yesterday, and this also kindles my memory
power, and assess my retaining capacity.

1. Ujjayinee started off by saying that she was born in Tripura, and had
started learning music from the age of 3. She basically started off asa RJ
in Kolkata, and had also worked there. She got inspired to ARR's music, the
moment she heard Roja songs in 1992. Her favourites include Choti Se Asha,
Tu Hi Re, Dil Se Re, Vande Mataram and much more. She had earlier sung in
the Tamil Film Attagasam ( Music composed by Bharadwaj ), and also for the
title score in the same movie. In fact it was Bharadwaj who had taken pains
in teaching her the tamil script.

2. She was very excited when ARR had called her up for the song recording in
ATM. "Nee MAryln Monroe" and Valayapatti song. She was saying as to how ARR
wanted the turnings, cheeky stuff in the song, and how he was motivating her
to sing in such a higher octave. In fact, the starting bit of the song in
Nee Maryln Monroe itself has been a sensation for her. She even hummed the
initial bits, sang some lines in the song.

3. She had done some albums in Tamil under the expert guidance of Kadri
Gopalnath and his son, when she had first come to Chennai. She had her
own band, and had even participated in the Ooh La La concert, under the
group " Om".

Re: [arr] Rahmania Radio show - Singer Sriram on ARR (cont...)

[Gopal Srinivasan]

Huh?!? Either she's mistaken me for someone else or she's using my name to 
refer to someone else. Most likely, it's the latter. It was during my visit to 
AM Studios to hand over our contribution to the foundation when Srini of Global 
Rhythms was showing videos of a GR performance to Raihana and me that he asked 
her to perform at the IIT show which was a week or two from then. She's 
probably referring to Srini.

Hi all,

Part 2 of Sriram's interview was broadcast last friday. 

Raihanah also mentioned Gopal's name during this interview... Read on!!


as always, excuse inaccuracies.

Snippets from the show:

"Rahman often calls me if there are jathis or dhols to be sung in a song... I 
went there for Minsaara Kanna song. Rahman tried many different things before 
he settled on the final one! Hari ji was there and he was improvising a lot 
trying out whole lot of hindustani aalaps. Some portion of it is retained in 
the song, which is why u can hear Hari jis voice in some parts"

Raihana asked him about the ease with which he hits high pitch notes, and he 
replied
"Talking of voice range - Rahman and I have almost the same range Rahman's 
slightly higher - probably half  note higher... I had sung sung "Chill allavaa 
(Thathi aadudhey)" from En Swasa Katrae.
 That was a very good experience. In the closing of one saranam, by mistake I 
landed on a much higher note than what was actually to be done. And that was 
higher than my usual range! Rahman asked me "enna aachu... kural out-aa?"  
("What happened? your voice is gone coz of that?")... But that higher note 
actually sounded nice and he retained it!!! When I sing this song in concerts, 
I usually sing it in a lower scale so that I can sing the closing properly!"

"I had also sung the tamil version of Chaiyya Chaiyya. But, my name wasnt there 
on the CD and casette covers. Rahman had used Sukhwinder's voice along with 
mine. In some portions u can hear his voice and in most of the places, my 
voice. There were rumours that I was totally upset over this. I want to clarify 
- I have no regrets. It is great to be a part of the song. Rahman used both our 
voices because he knew that was the best for the song. It takes a genius to do 
it"


Raihanah: Do you remember the concert in IIT where we sang Chaiyya Chaiya, with 
lots of improvisations, as requested by Mr. Gopal Srinivasan? U were awesome in 
that!
Sriram: Thanks! It was wonderful singing that song with u!
Raihanah: U were too good, using Dhols, jathis and carnatic style 
improvisations! !! looking at all that, i thought to myself "omg.. thats 
amazing much improvisation! Let me not compete with him!!"  (Laughs!)

(and then Sriram sang that version for us!)


Sorry for the delay 
This week it was Ujjayinee who on Rahmania Mail about that, coming up 
shortly!

Gopal, Priyanka probably never released on Tips. I vaguely remember asking
for it, to get a funny answer. They said, "Wait for some years, everything
will release and you'll get everything. Even R.D.Burman's rare collection is
releasing only after he died."

I'll confirm and will update on this..

In an interview, singer Srinivas said, he was very much worried when his name 
was not credited for ooh la la song from minsara kanavu(2nd charanam is by

copyrights. Mr. Romeo has 3 diff inlays Time / Venus / Tips.


Very recently, in 2005, Vande Mataram was imported by Music World for Rs 625/- 
It has different inlay than the Indian version. The Indian version shows the 
flag tricolors as it is, whereas the International version shows the tricolor 
upside down.


I remember Khel Khiladi Ka cassette was priced at 25/- and the first ever Roja 
cassette without AR's name on its front, was priced at 29/-. The first ever 
'costly' cassette for me was Duniya Dilwalon Ki. It came for 40/- I also 
remember green colored Chor Chor inlay on Sheer Magic series. Sheer Magic 
series was good and sounded rich too; maybe because it came for 100/- :-) But 
there was one more cassette that came for 100/- That was MTV mix. It had 
Musafir remixed version. Very rare to find in those days.. :-)


I have pretty good Tamil cassettes collection, but I missed these small

I have several Sheer Magic tapes.  They claimed that they were

The Malayalam album Ennum Madhuram sung by KJ Yesudas is really good.

[arr] Maaricham from JOK

[John Edward]

hi guys,

i have never seen u guys talking much about the song maaricham from JOK.
for me its the second best song in the album (obviously munbe and newyork both 
take the first place).
i have very less knowledge abt music to describe it but wat i could say is that 
its a very different attempt 
(particularly i love the second half) and
i always feel bad that it din come as a full song in the movie and that it was 
not used utilized.

any comments on this song guys??

1. It says ARR wasn pleased. His interview says otherwise. It was a mutual
decision
taken

2. Not done due to time constraints cuz he felt the song didn fit the
narration.

[arr] Ash steps in for Rahman

[yasheer_ar2]

Ash steps in for Rahman
By Behindwoods  News Bureau.
November 02, 2007
Ashutosh Gowariker's magnum opus
Jodha Akbar is nearing completion and
the post-production work is on in full
swing. At this juncture, this Aishwarya-Hrithik-starrer
has witnessed something only few films
of the past have ever seen.
That Rahman is scoring the music for
this epic love story is no news
  [Jodha Akbar]

but that Ashutosh has gone ahead and done the
unthinkable - chopped one of Rahman's compositions
for the movie is something that has sent shockwaves
in the industry. Even good friend Rahman isn't
pleased with this decision.

The Qawwali number in question was shot lavishly
in huge sets, erected just for this purpose. The
director, however, felt that it was a tad bit
too long to be a part of the movie and has decided
to let the scissors do the work. Ash has stepped
in for Rahman and has agreed to use this Qawwali
for her next movie. Beauty saves the music.

Guess which film and which labels?

[arr] Did you know some more?

[Gopal Srinivasan]

That in the days when audio CDs were imported into India at Rs. 600 each and 
cassettes were priced at Rs. 25, HMV launched a high-end cassette label line 
called 'Sheer Magic' with a premium positioning and made of jam-free rollers 
and fungus-resistant tape, priced at Rs. 100 a piece with Chor Chor being the 
first film title released on this label?

[arr] Did you also know?

[Gopal Srinivasan]

That such was the frenzy in Bollywood over buying the rights of Humse Hai 
Muqabala, that perhaps for the first and only time ever, two labels, Time and 
Venus jointly released the music of the film. Time later sold out to TIPS which 
released the music under it's own label as well making it probably the only ARR 
film to release on three different labels legally (Paarathale Paravasam 
released on three labels - HMV, Challenge Music and Hit Musics - on the same 
day but the release was embroiled in litigation over who had the legal right 
which was finally resolved in favour of HMV).

Does anyone have a cassette of Priyanka released by TIPS and one of Paarthale 
Paravasam released by Hit Musics (sic)?

THanks,
Gopal.

[arr] Did you further know?

[Gopal Srinivasan]

That such was ARR's popularity in 1995, Polygram (now Universal) released the 
music of Bombay (Hindi) with six different inlay card designs and Lovebirds 
(Hindi) with four. For a film that didn't even see the light of the day, Chor 
Chor had four different inlay cards from HMV (now Saregama).

Re: [arr] Did you know?

Yup, That was the tamil version. infact it does not have the "chinna chinna
aisai"
reprise track on it.

That Rangeela and Humse Hai Muqabala are the only two ARR soundtracks to be 
remixed with Super Jhankaar Beats, a popular trend in Bollywood back in the 
early 90s. 

Re: [arr] Did you know?

[Gopal Srinivasan]

You are referring to the Tamil version, I guess. The released version did have 
ARR's name right in front and also his mug shot on the reverse.

My copy which i still have did not have anything on the cover except for the

along with other stuff. I curiously checked it out and started liking them. 
This was way before the

ARR's name was relegated to the back cover. Subsequent batches carried ARR's
