[arr] Re: Couples Retreat Tracklisting
I am lovin' the album.
I feel inclined to mention the track 'Meeting Marcel'. In this track, if you
listen carefully, there is a classic Buddhist chanting going on, a unique
Buddhist flavor has been added. It sounds stunning.
As far as I can remember, this is the first time any Indian music composer has
used Buddhist chants, let alone in a track.

Re: [arr] Re: Couples Retreat Soundtrack Review
Chord, agreed. Could you explain if you find a difference between Dil Se and Blue in terms of audio quality. Dil se had the same if not more layers of orchestrations, instruments used. One more question. I would find Yuva to be very close to blue in terms of genre and the feel. Dont you feel Yuva was higher in terms of audio quality? On Sun, Sep 27, 2009 at 2:38 PM, ichord purev...@yahoo.com wrote: Hey Anand, Diff between Blue and CR 1) Blue has multiple layers, very dense, while CR is lighter in terms of quantity of arrangements, thus more breathing room and space in the tracks. 2) Blue's sound engineering team are composed of multiple people, using different platforms around the world (multisourced), hence some inconsistencies in terms of volumes, etc. (found that out through a good friend). Also, check out the sound credits in the Blue inlayso many people! CR's sound team appears to be more intimate and I think ARR may have supervised the sound better in CR. 3) The nature of Blue's music is loud and heavy, given it's an action and massala bollywood flick. CR's theme is more light and since it's mostly instrumental, allowed AR to show more pure artistic creativity in terms of sound and arrangements. BTW, I love Blue and CR both for different reasons. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com arrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com, Anand Bharathan an...@... wrote: Whew, what an extraordinary album CR is. If ARR can produce masterpieces like this in Hollywood, I wouldn't mind if he makes a tradeoff between Kollywood and Hollywood in favor of the latter. I mean reduce his assignments in Kolly, not abandon it altogether. And it shows how shortsighted we fans can be if we limit his genius to just the formulaic movies in India. As he himself has said that he likes to explore new avenues we should allow him to do just that otherwise risk his creativity getting stunted and a kind of boredom setting in. Looks like his creative genius needs to be challenged all the time. If it is, it is good for us fans as well. Also can the sound experts here throw light on the huge difference in sound quality between CR and Blue. After hearing CR, Blue now sounds to be totally muddled up and loud. Is it to do with a predominantly acoustic sounds cape of CR or just plainly our sound engineers have more to learn compared to their Western counterparts?

Great job, Suresh! Now, that's what I call a great review, doing full justice to this exquisite soundtrack. I esp. like that you talked about the sounds, instruments, arrangements a lot, which really do deserve specific menttion in each track. I liked how you tried to connect the music to the visuals, giving more meaning to each track in context. Appreciated how you tried to put the comedy element in logical light, stating that the serious music is for those who are the butt of the jokes and who don't find it funny, but the rest do! Makes perfect sense! I love some of your descriptions, like, bed of soft strings.very classy! Lastly, you very nicely put this in perspective in comparison to Slumdog in that even though it won't gather the same attention and perhaps level of accolades as Slumdog, it still deserves to be celebrated as a beautifully strong entrance for Rahman into hollywood. I can see your knowledge and ear for good music is quite refined and I really appreciate that. The only thing I didn't agree with you was the criticism on Sajna Re, but I respect that opinion a lot because you explained in detail why you felt that way. Geez, I wish more people would write reviews like you do And yes, you very correctly stated that it used the same musical template as Dreams on Fire, which is what I thought too when I heard it. For me, the core strength of this soundtrack is in artistic, aural, and aesthetic beauty, not commercial potential.

RE: [arr] Re: Couples Retreat Soundtrack Review
Whew, what an extraordinary album CR is. If ARR can produce masterpieces like this in Hollywood, I wouldn't mind if he makes a tradeoff between Kollywood and Hollywood in favor of the latter. I mean reduce his assignments in Kolly, not abandon it altogether. And it shows how shortsighted we fans can be if we limit his genius to just the formulaic movies in India. As he himself has said that he likes to explore new avenues we should allow him to do just that otherwise risk his creativity getting stunted and a kind of boredom setting in. Looks like his creative genius needs to be challenged all the time. If it is, it is good for us fans as well. Also can the sound experts here throw light on the huge difference in sound quality between CR and Blue. After hearing CR, Blue now sounds to be totally muddled up and loud. Is it to do with a predominantly acoustic sounds cape of CR or just plainly our sound engineers have more to learn compared to their Western counterparts?

[arr] Re: Couples Retreat Soundtrack Review
Hey Anand, Diff between Blue and CR 1) Blue has multiple layers, very dense, while CR is lighter in terms of quantity of arrangements, thus more breathing room and space in the tracks. 2) Blue's sound engineering team are composed of multiple people, using different platforms around the world (multisourced), hence some inconsistencies in terms of volumes, etc. (found that out through a good friend). Also, check out the sound credits in the Blue inlayso many people! CR's sound team appears to be more intimate and I think ARR may have supervised the sound better in CR. 3) The nature of Blue's music is loud and heavy, given it's an action and massala bollywood flick. CR's theme is more light and since it's mostly instrumental, allowed AR to show more pure artistic creativity in terms of sound and arrangements. BTW, I love Blue and CR both for different reasons. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Anand Bharathan an...@... wrote: Whew, what an extraordinary album CR is.

[arr] Re: Couples Retreat Review 2!
Ok, let me further explain what I said below before a backlash storm hits me, which I'm ready for. This is only my opinion, and not at all meant any disrespect for Karthik or his opnions. I didn't mean to say below that Karthik should never write reviews for hollywood OSTs. He has a right to his reviews and opinions for any music anywhere. I guess what I would prefer is for him to take more time to listen to a hollywood soundtrack and make his reviews more elaborate for a hollywood score, since the OSTs for that film industry are more artistic in nature, less poppish, more global in reach, and generally more abstract with OST cues and instrumental pieces mostly instead of songs. Karthik's reviews for bollywood scores are based on a certain crisp and first impression approach, which I generally respect, but also one that is mostly from a song oriented template in my opinion. He wrote about Sajna, which I disagree with, but don't have any issues about it being cursory, since it's a song. For the rest of the cues, however, I wish there would have been more elaboration, even if negative, because I feel that instrumental cues are a lot more in depth and ornate than usual bollywood songs, thus I feel requiring a different template for review. A short first impression review to me is much more of an appropriate match for a song based soundtrack than a more abstract, instrumental based soundtrack. That's all I'm saying. Guys, this is just my opinion before anyone starts beating me over the head. I mean no disrespect towards Karthik or anyone else's opinions by this. I'm sorry for my thoughts of late to be somewhat disorganized and writing multiple, long posts. These days, I'm not into a crisp mode of writing for some reason!

What Karthik has written is his opinion, obviously, but one that I pretty much completely disagree with. No dominant theme? You kidding me? The melody of Sajna and John and Cynthia's Suite keep weaving in and out of the soundtrack and multiple places, forming a coherent whole In no way is this a review of the soundtrackjust a cursory commentary without being attuned to detail, that's it. Music is meaningless without the film? Ok, man..I don't think many will agree with you there. Guys, the genius of CR is in the details.

Yeah I agree with you on some points. Music in H'wood movies are not about 'songs' and isn't about 'I-am-good,-listen-to-me-over-and-over-again. They compliment the visuals unlike the Indian film 'songs'. So, it'd be better to review any H'wood soundtrack after the release of the movie, keeping in mind its theme and sequence. I really didn't expect Karthik to write CR review, this soon.

Rahman had proved off his extraordinary adeptness on Indian touch with âSlumdog Millionaireâ, he strikes marvelously with complete Hollywood-fangled melodies. The tunes are stunningly melodic and indeed aptly sound in accordance with filmâs title âCouples Retreatâ. The original soundtrack of âCouples Retreatâ has 15 melodies with uniquely spelled attributes. SAJNA⦠SAJNA ReJust heed to the fortepianos and mild-strike of chord with crystal-chimes accompanying them. Rahman adds to the Indianized touch by adding the Hindi word âSajna Sajna Reâ¦â The English lyrics are mesmerizingly touching and perhaps, the western people wouldnât have listened to such an appealing melody. KURU KURUâ¦Vocal: A.R. RahmanFine! After uttering âEllam Pugazhum Iraivan Oruvanukkeâ â itâs one more turn to express his gratitude for his TAMIL. The song starts off with slow-rhythms of 6/8 March on soft-guitars later with slow-stringed running notes. The Tamil lyrics tuned in complete Hollywood style happen to be the best flavors. Totting up to the best panoramas is the unique-patterned rhythm on scissors. Sound engineering has been marvelously performed⦠Doubtlessly, KURU KURU is the best pick of soundtrack. Jason and Cynthia SuiteRealms of stringed instruments as it keep playing on various octaves. The melodic notes are played on solo guitar and Cello joins the instrumentation in latter part. Merely after couple of minutes, the song is shifted to higher scales and it goes on with same notes. Trombones and oboes are played in final part. Moreover, itâs the best song that sweeps all on your senses. NANAItâs a Spanish-styled hip-hop with Blaazeâs specific vocalisms on rap lines. The beats over the synchronized drum pads keeps repeating while fill-ins over Brasses and trumpets over synthesizers does takes you straight into those ambiences. TOUR OF THE VILASIf you ever spellbound listening to âSAJNA SAJNAâ, Rahman delivers the same tune over instrumentals. All through the track, the scales are raised and lowered. Beats over Congo-drums with vibes mingled in makes it sound yet more embellished. More than all, Rahman has utilized more instruments on various parts, say, like cymbals, solo violin, flute and pan flutes. MEETING MARCELSounds quite unique from previous numbers⦠It offers the touch of meditational relaxation music with the style of percussions inherited from Tai Chi. the melodiously refreshing tune suddenly transforms into an emotional genre with flutes, cellos, violins and other stringed instruments coalesced on the parts. We get to hear orchestral-hits here and there. ITINERARY Starts off with overpowering instrumentations over percussions, keyboards and stringed ones⦠Rahman has to thank his music supervisor John OâBrien for having engineered the entire group with such grandeur. Finally, after the fast-rushing instrumentals, youâve Rahmanâs vocalism echoing on higher tone. UNDRESSWow! This is the prettiest work that any music lover wouldâve heard. On the beginning note, we have Mridangam, veena taking off with predominance later with sync-bass. A perfect âJugalbandhiâ treat for everyone. SHARKSThe track has some traces of previous number MEETING MARCEL and the notes are almost the same. Precisely, it would be more appealing with the visuals on screens. LUAU by John OâBrienMaking it blissfully done over the sound supervising, John OâBrien scores on his show with country music with 12-string acoustic guitars. The running beats on Congo-drums make an impressive sound. SALVADOREThe song sounds much similar to Tamil song âJumbhalakaâ that has the prelude starting off with Arabic intonation. The song has guitars and beats played on similar touch. As well, it has similarities with Rahmanâs previous score for âMein Alabeliâ in âZubeidaâ. INTERVENTIONThe maestro roars again! Of course, put your best verdicts for the brilliant orchestration of symphony based track. Rahmanâs vocalism on higher pitch emblazons it stunningly. If our guesses are right, the track should precisely be

cooolll.. Thanks. here is the text.. Couples Retreat' Gets Hilarious Trailer Four couples travel to an exotic couples counseling resort, only to experience a series of mishaps and setbacks, in an upcoming comedy by Jon Favreau called 'Couples Retreat'. Universal Pictures has debuted the first trailer for Couples Retreat on Apple. More than two-minute long, the promotional video for the comedy movie introduces the four main couples, Vince Vaughn and Malin Akerman, Faizon Love and Kali Hawk, Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell, as well as Jon Favreau and Kristin Davis. The trailer helps to explain how things are going between each of the couples before dropping the bomb that one of them is going through a rough patch. In order to work on their problem, the troubled couple chooses to go to a lush tropical getaway and brings along their couples friends to get a special group price. What the others do not know is that their group-rate vacation comes at a price. Couples Retreat is directed by first-time helmer Peter Billingsley. The screenplay is provided by Iron Man helmer Jon Favreau, while the music is composed by A. R. Rahman, the Academy Award winner for his work in Slumdog Millionaire. Jean Reno also joins the cast ensemble of this comedy movie which will come out in U.S. theaters October 9. ENJOY!!!
