[arr] Re: A small request...Think before you bash Endhiran's music...

[arunsoft2k]

the funny thing is when the next release comes they say 'oh this is not even 
close to tne greatness of Endhiran, Raavan and VTV" (I wonder where did that 
come from!!)

Re: [arr] My notes on enthiran

[arunsoft2k]

wow! nice read wiredbeats. I may have some of remixes from your website!!we 
need experts pov for Rahman album!something to learn and enjoy!  btw..I cudnt 
get why you call Irumbile oru idhyam or even Fanaa a flat track. I remember 
shankar saying in the audio launch that he wanted a song for bringing the 
emotions in the robot. Rahman tried 3 to 4 times and came up with this finally 
loved by Shankar. as you said, teh flow is being interrupted. I believe 
thefirst 3 tunes might have satified music lovers but then, it doesnt works 
that way I guess. I dont know its fair to compare a techno-trance album with 
Rahman's situational song in endhiran. after repeated listening, Im hooked to 
this song, it brings a little south music taste in it..."Kaaadhal 
ahzaikudho"!!. I guess I get what you are saying..Rahman not changing the 
rhythm, the whole song, knowing Rahman who is the best bringing different moods 
uin the samme song! I believe there will be a reason for this vision in the 
oscar winner's mind! ;)

"I robo un kadhil I love u sollata" !!! nice. Rahman cud have avoided the 
keisha like rap in between!! but then it sounds good too!

[arr] Re: Enthiran

[arunsoft2k]

I too felt the robo sounds a lil old school. but then I navigate my ipod to 
listen "Rock that body" by black eyed peas, the most current in this genre, and 
teh little old Imogen Heap-"Hide and seek"..I dont see a lotaa difference. 
ofcourse we cant expect an "owl city" kinda music which may not support the 
character of a Robot!!Rahman might have done justfication based on the 
character but the movie has to support it. 

my favoroties:
Pudhiya manidha
Kadhal annukal
Irumbile oru idhayam
Kilimanjaro
Arima
Chtti dance

Im havin a hard time to get on groove with "Boom Boom Robo". the rap part is 
very low, the 1960s tune(siki mukki, automatic kara) of the song kinda dragging 
in bwteeen a fast pacy robo song..there are some good parts of it ofcourse!!

[arr] Re: The Enigma Influence in Puthiya Manidha!

[arunsoft2k]

Loving this track. perfect for superstar. I remember "the doors"(from 1960s) in 
some of the song. like "riders on the storm".  not the music but the rhythm in 
some part of the song when spb goes low pitch.Maybe its just me!!its on loop 
for me. cant stop listening.

I do feel sometime, the recording of the song is not great could 
have caused Benny's voice overshadowed  by the music. 

i dont know whow has better control on this "AR Rahman or T-Series

I felt the same with Newyork Nagaram from SOK which ARR himself

[arr] Slumdog box office in USA

[arunsoft2k]

Guys something I have never seen in Yahoo "Box office charts"

http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/boxoffice/

Slumdog has reached #11 this week in Boxoffice collection.The most 
amazing fact is that it has been released only in "32" theaters and 
still managed to climb up to 11!!!
The top 10 movies are released atleast in 1000 theaters except  "The 
boy in the stripped pajamas" which is only 406
I hope they release SDM in more theaters and make this movie a good 
commercial success too!!!

and this boxoffice info backs up all good reviews we've been seeing al 
over the web since the movie released!!! 

Congrats "Team SDM"

[arr] SDM - soundtrack - my rating..in first couple of listening

[arunsoft2k]

just downloaded from itunes and wrting this while listening .

...the intrumentals  are something we didnt have from Rahman after 
the days of Rangeela, Jeans(Jeans theme) etc.!!

1.Jai Ho - amazing song and shud click as soon as you listen. 
Sukhvindar rocks!!!
2. O..Saya - ARRs vocals and music is foot-taping - just mind-
blowing..good to hear 
M.I.A in ARRs music.
3. Latika's theme - In the genere of Jeans theme...something you wud 
love. 
4. Ringa Ringa - Loved Ila Arun's voice and the music especially 
during the 2nd interlude.
5.Liquid dance - Something I can compare against Rangeela theme..but 
not as great as Rangeela..still likable..need to find out how it 
evolves when i listen more and more.
6. Mausam & escape - a fusion of Veena, Volin with a trance 
effect!!!..great try..still comparable to other fusion(see 9 below)
7. Gansta Blues - Its a good try but I do think the song is too 
slow..cud have been better with heavier beats and little paes wud 
have made this #2 in the list.Due to english lyrics m forced to 
compare aginast others..but I wud have loved if ARR used another 
Rapper..!!! Loved Tanvi's part.
8.Dreams of fire - shud be slow poison..the song is too slow to catch 
up..but sure it fits the mood in the movie. Coz of english lyrics..M 
forced to compare Suzanne's voice to some of the other greats. but 
the flute somethig special only Rahman can give us!!!
9.Millionare and Riots - electroni/dance/trance fusion - need more 
lietening to see whats "Rahmanic" about this comparing other 
electronic fusions we hear day to day(like paul Oaakenfield who is 
one of the best in the business!!!)

[arr] Re: Have you seen any ARR film without having heard its music

[arunsoft2k]

Yes..It was Yodha. I didnt know it was even done by A R rahman. but 
I saw the movie in theater when its released i didnt know about 
Rahman much back in 93(its ok right :)].

it was instantly something I liked and immediately went and brought 
the tape. I loved the Malarambam by Jesudas, and the opening song 
where MOhanlal and Jagathy have a fight which sounds something 
similar to the Jiya Jale malayalam bit sung by MG Sreekumar in Dil 
Se.

Starting Thiruda Thiruda I never missed any Rahman music listening 
before seeing the movie. 

I think you will love it watching the music in screen first time 
better than the first hearing reason being you wont have much 
expectations..as simple as that!!! I believe in the songs picturised 
in the movies elevate the quality of music by Visuals and emotions 
by actors.

Arun.

[arr] Re: Sonu Nigam feels he was 'unused' in Yuvvraj

[arunsoft2k]

Using a singer's voice is a music directors choice thats why ARR is 
music director and Sonu is a singer in their respective 
professionals.

I love Sonu's voice so let me start from here.I don;t know Chord's 
comment is correct or wrong but its his opinion and you may agree or 
disagree.

If its a less experienced singer woudnt have commented like that so 
Sonu being an experienced singer and has a lot of respect to ARR 
which was my understanding and why would he adddress the media 
stating his voice not utlised is something wrong with his attitude 
or its a HOAX information, or just a media speculation.but pls 
note : A fan or audience who buy that album can comment how the song 
and singer has sung it but a singer who gets paid cannot comment why 
he is not utilised. I personnaly feel its just not a singer's 
business. now I kinda understand where Chord's comments are coming 
from.

ARR want to be perfect wwanted to have Sonu's voice even if its just 
a harmony. e.g. Guzarish has sonu's voice just as a guest vocal. 
well, I think the media speculation so far is Sonu is being very 
generous on this coz hedoesnt do these guest vocals normally. 

again its just IMO.

[arr] Re: Guzarish full song..with 2 interludes!!

[arunsoft2k]

I feel the song is little bit dated tune. It was mindblowing when I 
heard "Ennai Kaanavillai" from Kadal desam and then came 
along "Sunta Hai" from Pukar.Now Tu Meri Adhhori.in the same 
genre..Im waiting for a "Tu Khoya Khoya"(DSKR) or "Enna Vilai" typa 
songs from ARR. missing these type of songs from ARR very much. 

but wait...when the CD comes out..the quality of music is gonna be 
lifted tremondously and then it will be a different feeling. M sure 
this will be a mass hit!!!

[arr] Re: Rediff Review - Yuvvraaj - followed by idiotic comments

[arunsoft2k]

Jahanzeb,

The true fact is you are disapponinted with the music but its only 
you..but there is something called difference of opininion!!!

a lot of people both here and orkut ARRahman communitiy..liked the 
music. well you can always compare with Taal, Dilse, Rangeela. but 
really you should spend some time reading the reviews came out when 
those were out. I'm sure there will be another "Janhanzeb" trying to 
make people understand how Arr disapointed yet again. but outof 
nowhere it becomes a classic after a year for some of those.

I have nothing against your taste...but Here is the most imp point 
you migt havs missed!!
1.ARR is the highly paid music director...paid big bugs!!!
2."Big deal" producers still trying to get ARR as their film music 
director. They wait more time than even a ARR-Fan waiting for ARR's 
release.
Do you think the producers like ARRs divine feelings??..or they like 
his recording theater,or place where he lives or they liked him 
because he composed Roja, Dil se, Rangeela(hahaa). na na 
na..this aint joke!! they go to him because of the "MASS", CURRENT 
MARKET not the "1996 popularity"..and these cant be given only by 
Fans but a lot lot more people need to like the music. 

but here is the catch with ARR - The  MASS you are talking about is 
the "FANS". If ARR fans like it then it already reached the mass. be 
assured about it.If you dont like it guess what? I pity you. You are 
one of those small..tiny winy group who doesnt likes this..
sorry!! no Offense...you asked for it bro.!!

dont glue your eyes and ears to your music system with Yuvvraaj 
playing..just relax yourslef.focus on your normal day to day life 
and have this song played in yoru car,living room when you have 
dinner..rom nowhere it hits you like a storm...!!

[arr] Re: Whats missing in ARR

[arunsoft2k]

I kinda felt the same with the sound quality.But following quality 
of Harris make me feel He is far far far away from ARR in any other 
aspects  

Tunes.dont you feel its immature sometimesome of them sounds 
good though supported by the quality of sound. 

Lady singers choice sucks big time for most of the songs.

He is trying false voice but dude he's spoiling the song in most 
cases. 

I think he's inspiring most of the western music and also I feel his 
tunes are based on late 80's english pop music.

"Arr is Arr".  

ARR is master of all the above thats why as you mentioned he 
is "world class".He doesn't even need great sound quality to prove 
that.  But you are right ARR might need to try something more in the 
sound quality including 5.1 recording then it would be a additonal 
bonus for some of us. i too felt Harris soungs good in 5.1. i get 
surprised sometime. 

But nothin to worry about.

[arr] Repeat words in ARRs Hindi songs

[arunsoft2k]

Guys,
Is somebody out here to help me get this out of my mind...

I dont know Hindi..ok :-(

I've been listening almost all songs of ARR and i feel there are 
more repeat words in Hindi songs..but I enjoy those. It sounds 
catchy.

>From top of my head...here is some but i'm sure there are many.
like in Dil se re..Giya Giya, Piya Piya
In tere bina - Beswadi, Beswadi, Peeki Peeki, Khatena , Khatena
Legend of Bhagat Singh - listen to Mahive Mahive..i think its too 
much here but ofcourse i'm hoping it means somethin and this is one 
of those Rehman's catchy simple tunes.


Are these meaning something ???!! or just fillers in the tune.what 
about those guys who wants "good Lyrics" in songs think about these..

Is somebody noticing it..or am the only Knuckle Head here...:-)

[arr] Ah Aah--trailer gave a wrong impression about the music.

[arunsoft2k]

Guys..I think the trailer gave a feel of mediocre songs.It turned out 
to be great after listening to the complete song.

Buy original Record...

Reviewer:prakash - san jose 

EXCELLENT , STUNNING
If u ever wonder what is music , then just grab the CD. Its stunning . 
The sound texture seems to be very indian folk yet sounds are 
universal. Rahman does it again. I belv he never runs out of energy.

Hmm...it seems like somebody listening to the "Rising" already...Well I 
ordered my copy...lemme see if I will receive within 2 days.
