Re: [arr] Whats missing in ARR
Guys I agree, but IMHO.. Music is not just the quality, the daimond-clear sound that comes out of 5.1 or even a 7.1 The strong lyrics, incredible tune, the use of lead voices, the limited-yet-appealing use of new instruments, a rythm that makes you go back to that song again and again , the mood the song echoes is what makes ARR a true MAESTRO. Is there anybody here who would negate this fact given an RD BURMAN song "O Maajire, apna kinaara" ? its decades old song, I could barely make out the song coming out just from one corner of my room when i play it on my system...but guys that song rocks ! Rahman has grown out of this HJ calibre now. As Rahman says in his own words in an interview during the BOSE-The forgotten HERO, music release : Its fairly easy for a person to do the kind of "urvasi urvasi" or "mukkaala mukkabala" with some 10 synthesizers. But its tough to come out with one song like "Desh ki mitti". Personally I just loved the way Rahman has grown ever-since Vande-Matarm. The kind of maturity and the tears his songs bring in films like Swades, Taal, Lagaan, Bose, RDB, are just profound, well why the hell should we care about just the ONE sound of an instrument not being heard properly ? I still feel Rahman came out brilliantly with quality-fast-numbers in YUVA, and RDB too.. So our Maestro has gone beyond HJ and the likes Rahman's offlate songs are more concentrated on the Rich-Orchestra, use of voices as much as 4-5 voices in a single song so aptly and brilliantly with the Indian-classical tunes softly blending with western orchestra. All I can say is ... if at all still someone thinks HJ quality rocks ... Well HJ ..all the very BEST and welcome to Music-direction world. Rahman is no longer a Music-director! He is a MAESTRO, a COMPOSER! cheers -Rags haja nawaz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi frenz... Yesterday evening my frend came to my house and listened to GURU songs..He heard the songs and said that the songs are nice and required time to grow on u..Then he moved to the next folder (THE NAME OF THE FOLDER IS "NEW FOLDER")and put a song (the song is "JUNE PONA" from "UNNALE UNNALE" , A HJ musical) and atonce said " dei what a song! this is from which film ?" ( he didnt know that it is a HJ musical) That actually is a good song too... What i m trying to say here is that he was attracted by something in the HJ song that is lacking in ARR's one..Not much about the tune but the audio quality... I am not saying ARR has poor audio quality but somewhat less compared to HJ..With HJ's audio quality even the moderate songs are sounding great.. But logically , being a World Class Music Director ARR shud have the highest audio quality but thats not true here ... we shud accept this fact even as a ARR fan although it is harsh...I have already send a mail regarding this earlier.. From his first to his latest albums, all HJ songs sound louder and most importantly very clear..We wont lose even a single sound... Tunewise ARR is king..he is more than that..but qualitywise HJ is one or two steps far than our king.. I was heartbroken upon my frend's reaction..BUt i have to accept one fact that UNNALE sounds louder ,clearer and something fresh in my CREATIVE 5.1 speakers compared to GURU But i dont say GURU is of low quality..i love 5 songs very much in guru but only 2 songs in UNNALE..But the latter sounds fresh qualitywise.. Why this is happening..He needs to surely look into this matter.. Guyz as a true fan we should not stop at only praising the merits in the tune but also to let him know about the flaws in the songs... Guys again i m saying that i dont say that ARR's songs have poor quality or less quality ... There is no doubt he is having one of the world's well equipped studio...but i cant understand y it happens though...Again i m stressing on " comparatively with HJ" Ok guyz i m expecting ur comment on this..

Re: [arr] A.R.Rahman tunes in Kannada?
Thats nice, but I feel Kannada Film industry cant really bear the cost of AR RAHMAN. The movies out here in Kannada lack that strong messages, and the plot, look-n-feel for the kind of music our Maestro composes. I do love to see 1 movie in Kannada, with the class-music of Rahman, but ..I wouldnt just aim at his music, the whole movie as such should bring in that maturity! Gone are those days when movies like .."Minchina vota", "accident", "muthina-haara", ...and not to forget the great Puttana Kangal movies! Which had some truly awesome songs, and some serious themes! Now all that happens out in Kannada industry is wrapping up a film in less than a month. Now would you really want our Maestro to compose for such projects ? I will definitely vote for him composing if there is a 2nd movie like Muttina-hara being made! -Rags satish_srini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: This is another kind of gimmick from `Metro Corporation Private limited'. They claim that the songs in the Kannada film 'Sajini' starring Dhyan and Sharmila are tuned by maestro Rahman! But the truth is that the tunes of A.R.Rahman's Tamil film 'Jodi' are utilized in 'Sajini' produced by the same producer. And the trick has paid off as the audio of the film is a hit in Karnataka. The producer of the prestigious exhibition and distribution house in Karnataka R.N.Mandre group has said that A.R.Rahman is scoring music for the first time in a Kannada film. ''Sajini' has completed 25 days schedule in London and now the unit is shooting in Bangalore. `We should not lose our culture' is the message of this youthful musical entertainer. http://sify.com/movies/kannada/fullstory.php?id=14351557 __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [arr] Rahmans track for Tsunami

Well the words string arrangements just didnt catch my eyes:-) By the way Guys, Offlate I have been hooked onto this song called "Zikr" for almost an year now. even though RDB came and went, and GURU is making waves... i somehow cant get over this Zikr song from Bose! Nary a day goes by, without hearing to this Muslim-prayer! Long Live The Maestro, Long live Rahman cheers -Rags "Mirza G.

Re: [arr] Rahmans track for Tsunami..
thanks Kumar for the advice, I might have heard this song a little more than 8-10 times. Ofcourse the word "string arrangements" didnt catch my eyes :-) I kind of have an acquired taste for Rahmans music. My CD-Rack is filled with him albums, excpet a handful which am hunting for ( i have missed some really important ones which am embarassed to mention here :0) Ofcourse I did vote for Roobaro not 100 times though ( that was a nice try to rag the newcomer :-)) well, i voted around 8 times :-) but I seriously think, the song will come out as a TRUE WINNER! without we casting 100 votes each. The song has the power in itself. cheers -Rags ar rahman djs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi newcomer, well thx 4 sharing the tsunami song (even its an old 1). it is a very sad song buddy. it has been done in the theme of poverty & sad. u cant expect anythin special there. im sure u have heard this song in a very little number. maybe once or twice. even it doesnt ROCKS, but hear the magical musics from Rahman anna. i suggest u something. hear the song (minimum) once a day, continue it for 4-5 days in a row. then ull love it buddy. im sure of it. Guys (the seniors here), what do u think? do u agree with my suggestion to our fren here. anyway thx 4 joining us buddy. dont 4get to vote 4 Roobaru. newcomers are required to make at least 100 votes. if not ur registration will be cancelled. hehe...lols. jz kiddin yar. have a nice day buddy.
