[arr] Re: Do you think that YSR has come a very close 2nd to ARR??

2006-01-09 Thread rahmanforme
Hello folks,

I partially agree with Anujit. YSR is growing very well and at an 
amazing speed. His compositions are stunningly different, however, 
some of them are inspired from some international numbers. I heard 
the music of one of the tracks in "Pudhapetti" in a Citibank ad that 
comes when u listen to songs on Raaga.com. And I heard this ad 
couple of months ago (before Pudhapetti audio was released), which 
means, its inspired, if not a complete copy. Nevetheless, I love 
many of YSR's songs, esp. I love "Arindham Ariyamulam", this album 
is one of my all time favourites apart from many of ARR's albums 
(difficult to list them down :-) ) and "Minnale". Even I do not 
understand Tamil, since I am from Andhra Pradesh. But Rahman's music 
made me foray into tamil music and I found that many others, 
directly or indirectly inspired Rahman, are coming up with better 
tunes day by day. I used to rate Harris as the next big thing in 
Indian music after (and only after) ARR when I heard "Minnale", but 
YSR is growing much better than Harris.

I think bollywood directors should start utilizing these growing 
tamil talent, thus reducing the load on ARR. They are definitely not 
a replacement for ARR, but since there is "only one good" composer 
in bollywood, all the "good" film-makers are coming to him only, so 
atleast composers like YSR & Harris, (who are 100 times better than 
Himesh Reshmaiyya or Anu Mallik, I am saying YSR is 100 times better 
than Anu Mallik, now think can I even compare anyone with our boss?) 
can be utilised by them. Especially, I dont like Rahman to work for 
directors like Ahmed Khan (Lakeer - The Forbidden Lines). Such 
people, being ARR's fans like us, might be requesting our boss so 
much that he accepts their offers (u can see his humbleness and 
generosity here). These directors can go down to south, since even 
Harris' and YSR's music is beyond being regional (remember that 
RHTDM is musically a big hit, though the movie bombed).

But till today, except, Ilayaraja & MM Kreem (his hindi music is 
just uncomparable with his telugu music, listen to Sur & Jism and 
then listen to his telugu "funny" songs, though he did made some 
good telugu numbers too), ARR is the only successful South Indian MD 
making it big in bollywood.

I wish YSR to grow more, but also to be more original, so that he 
can help "our-kind-of" music get more popular in the days to come 
than the typical "Jhalak Dhiklaja" ones.

I will wait for ur comments and thoughts.

Cheers,
Srinath.

[arr] Taal & Rangeela inspired from Vangelis' compositions

2006-01-08 Thread rahmanforme
Hello Everyone!

I recently read in one of the sites that Taal & Rangeela movies have 
music inspired from the famous hollywood composer Vangelis' 
compositions. I am not sure if this is true, but I verified in couple 
of sites and looks like true. I am trying to verify this, but wanted 
to know if someone in the group has already came to know about this 
and did some research. If yes, please share it with th group.

Please visit the below sites for more information:

http://www.ecranlarge.com/dossier-109.php
(Check the section - Musique réutilisée)

http://imdb.com/name/nm0006331/

I strongly believe that even if this is true, it might be a 
coincidence. Please post your comments.

Cheers,
Srinath.

[arr] Rahman in top 100 film composer's list

2006-01-08 Thread rahmanforme
Hello Dear Co-Rahmaniacs!

This is my first message to the group, though I have been a part of 
this groups since several months. I always thought that I was the 
greatest fan of Rahman, but this group proved me wrong. What makes me 
surprised and happy is that all of us think alike when it comes to 
Rahman's music. There are several instances where I could see people 
writing their experiences about Rahman's music that I have experienced 
too!

I have recently seen visited a site that listed Rahman at top 13 
position in the list of Top 100 Film Composers. Thats really amazing! 
Rahman achieved this without composing music for even a single 
hollywood movie!!(Except "Lord of War", where "Bombay Theme" has been 
reused. I think "Bombay Theme" is one of the greatest musical 
creations happened on earth, this track has been used in so many 
international albums, that proves its indeed beyond anyone's musical 
imagination.). If you see the list, you will see popular hollywood 
composers like John Williams, James Horner & Thomas Newman. This is a 
great achievement for Rahman. You can check the below site for more 
details...

http://moviescore.blogspot.com/2005/10/elfman-still-number-one-
composer.html

I look forward to your comments.

Cheers,
Srinath.
