[arr] critics
dear friends, we have got so many people here who hates any song which A.R.R. does nowadays..they have some preset ideas in their mind,like i saw someone expecting a maro maro for cwg...high time they should start composing..!!even God won't be able to satisfy them...Sir if you are reading this we are with you and please do whatever you feel is good..we always want you to break things musically which you have always done and doing succesfully.LET'S GO..!!
[arr] set me free
Just saw a post about set me free..little beats here and there and an album is ready.For your info the album got released in 1989 ,what was the kind of music that was going on??if you compare set me free and the music of that era you will understand what was set me free actually.Now music production is very easy with the ready loops and vst s.It wasnot that easy at that time but still set me free has awesome programming and the sound was 80 s pop.Being a musician i found it very good.So its not a question of dileep or A.R.R ..he is the same human being.

Thanx a lot for listening to it..u can listen to my other works at http://www.myspace.com/souvikgupta2 thanx for all the support and love.
[arr] an humble try to cover vande mataram by my band
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3xXIwznPlo my band performing our version of vande mataram in tcs kolkata .. its an humble try by me being a rahmaniac ,i dared to sing this one,my apologies to every rahmaniacs if my band have done something wrong...its dedicated to one and only A.R.Rahman for whome i am a musician today.
[arr] a.r.rahman is beyond a hit or floop now
comeon guys A.R.Rahman is beyond hits and floops now..have u ever heard something like raavan before..a song like kata kata for a marriage,a behne de or even kodi poatta??He s still ruling because he know how to break away from his own earlier creations..he is so versatile..u ll understand better if you are a musician...if he does same old stuff you will say he is monotonous..and coming to maniratnam he wanted to do something different which he has done succesfully..with all honesty and hard work.you cant expect a roja everytime..it ll be somethng better or something not that good.A creative person should always have this freedom.
[arr] A Dream
he came to my home ,i requested him to give an autograph on an enlarged snap of his,he asked my name and and gave it.i didnt wnt to loose dis chance, asked for a snap with him and he said YES.I got a hug from him, then requested him to see d cupboard where i keep all his cds and cassettes, he asked me to show my other music collection i said its all there in my computer,he smiled.finally i requested him to listen to my tracks,which he obliged with a nod and asked me do i know logic ,i was about to play my songs when it all ended.i realized it was a dream which i had last night ,I felt so good.Thank God i wish to have them again and again.
[arr] Super Police: Rahman's most unique album!
To me super police is one of a.r.r s saddest albums..many songs were there in rangeela and seems he didnt give time to d movie at all.The standard he set for other albums it is not at all upto the mark.
[arr] About that Kolkata incident
Ya we felt bad because we never expected a no from him.I asked him for a snap because i saw many fans clicking snaps with him on facebook.Actualy i ll consider myself more than lucky to be there and see him upclose.A.r.r s sister was so kind to me and even asked me wheter i had dinner or not and Benny Dayal telling me come this side of the stage otherwise you might get a scolding.But i think that was a great oppurtunity me and rajib missed.But i got to listen a no from the maestro thats good enough.Now my friends request is not accepted by AR Rahman on facebook..and thats sad too.But hope i ll get lucky someday.
[arr] an interesting fact
hello guys, i attented a workshop on logic here in kolkata kj singh being the host.He showed us the rehna tu session.another interesting fact he said whenever he dubs a vocals he marks it with different colours..the good part with green not so good with orange and the bad takes as red.Saw tanvi s takes in that session.Feels great.
[arr] many thanks to Rahman and Roger Waters for 'Aaromale'
what did roger waters do in aaromaale???
Re: [arr] What type of music has ARR NOT yet composed?
i think we havent got somethng latin from him...but who cares he creates new genres...and some punk will be interesting too.
