[arr] Opinion on Rising and Ah Aah

2005-07-26 Thread Gopal Anandan
Personally I find Rising songs to have more soul than
Ah Aah!!!  Reasons:

a) You can feel the effort gone into each and every
song, unlike Ah Aah numbers (which i think would have
been done by ARR's arrangers - Pravin maybe..)

b) I think once in a while ARR and his team are
allowed :) to come up with music which has genX
appeal - maynot be musically great or would lack
melody etc.. the recall won't be there..but then its
for GenX as I said earlier. E.g. Boys (good songs!!)
vs. KalaiDinnamum / Hum hai iss pal.. you know given a
choice which one you'd want to listen to any day.. :)

The key differentiator I guess is the target
audience..of the two movie's songs...it is segmented
and positioned well. However..the Rising songs are
something which will be always linger

The Rising high points:
1. Sukhwinder stands out!!! more than Kher- he scores
on the dha na na na alaap

2. Dekho Aayi Holi - what a number:really brings out
the joy of the festival..!! I think we are going to
see this number used more often in dance sequences,
singing contests etc..

Udit sounds simply great.. so does srini..

3. Takkey Takkey - will potentially become a children
fav - just like ye taara, wo taara..

4. Mangal (aatma) : Halla Bol!! I can guess this will
be the song of the movie...as in the song which has
the best picturisation in the movie.

The above and many more are just my opinion!! Please
do not take it in any other way..

Thanks,
Gopal

[arr] A.R.Rahman :: creativity missing...

2005-07-26 Thread code_ji
Hi Guyz  Gurlz,

Wellto tell u the truth...even i felt very disappointed ,like 
any genuine fan wud have felt, when I heard AH...AAH.. Thought I 
dont mind getting the original...

Its too techytoo much of sounds...with the lyrics getting 
bogged.. Pretty unsual ARR stuff...

Especially after hearing  classy album like Rising...couldnt 
digest this...And the worst part is I am forcing myself to hear it 
again and againit isnt inviting me...!! (really feeling 
embarrassed)

Rahman is the pioneer tio bring in this kinda techno stuff to 
India..but now there are lotsa MD to do these stuff..remix kind.. 
And Rahman himself has quoted thatSo why shud he be working on 
these..

Rahman is classy...He should be doing something in the range of 
Kaadhal desam or Kadhal Virus (techy numbers)..

Anyways...there's always a saving point...Anbe Aruyire...love that 
song...thats really the Rahman style..

Ultimately the creativity that used to surprise us is missing here

Cheers,
Bharat K.V.

[arr] Re:[...] ARR on saturday?? Travel warning

2005-07-26 Thread karensbigbrownjersey
Sorry, not a meeting, but just in case people are travelling into 
London on Saturday, could you all be aware that the Metropolitan Line 
and Jubilee Line - which stop at Wembley Park - may be out of action 
all weekend.  The Bakerloo Line and overland lines to Wembley Central 
are working, but last trains into London are around 11.30pm.

Much as I'd love ARR to over-run on any other occasion, I hope he 
doesn't on Saturday or some of us wil miss the end.

Safe journeys, everyone.

 Yes Gops. U r right. If this was done around 8 years back it would have made 
 a mark. But now ARR is know for composing music which will appeal to the 
 music critics. For me all the songs sound too much electronic. 
 Mayilirage song had good tabla and other instrumet but mixing was not that 
 great. Though I dont understand a pure tamil but I could make out how the 
 words were misspelt. probably this album would top the charts but after 
 hearing Lagaan, Yuva, Boys, TLOB, MP, BOSE, though many movies in this list 
 bombed but it brought great recognition to ARR. this would not claim him 
 genius in critics. So has ARR made up his mind that the extraordinary kind 
 of composition will not fetch him anything. will he return to the mid 90 
 kind of tracks? or is there no good directors to extract him. or is the 
 movie of such a kind to attract masses.
 I was listening MP thru out the I started reading reviews on A AA and many 
 claimed it to be more good than MP. For that reason I made myself clear to A 
 AA. but now I am switching back to MP.
 I agree this might be because of the taste. But one thing is for sure i am 
 growing interest on my 15 listening but I miss ARR's musical genious magical 
 touch.
 I will wait for GF bcos it seems to be a serious movie. But not sure how 
 tamil directors will bring the movie.
 I urge to the group GF (If its a remake of english GF) pls dont expect more 
 on songs but U will hear wonders in BGM. here once again it depends on 
 Ravikumar (RGV failed to get good BGM in SARKAR).
 
 Thanks,

  அ ஆ [Aa Aah ] Music Review.
  
  அ ஆ, Music: A.R.Rahman Frankly I don't think so.
  
  Every new album of Rahman excites me a lot. Reason being, there would be 
  at least one new idea
  in the album that I can learn. Hoping this, I happened to hear the new 
  Album - SJ Suriya's
  அ ஆ. It is true that Rahman songs get on to you slowly. The melody and 
  arrangement
  will grow in you slowly. However as soon I started to hear the tracks, I 
  felt this album has
  the least chance to get into my system. I own every CD from A. R. Rahman 
  including Baba. May be
  it is time for me to miss one in the collection.
  
  The first song I heard was Mayilirage sung by 2 news voices; I really do 
  not want to discourage
  new singers. But at the same I feel if someone cannot pronounce common 
  Tamil words, it is
  better to send them to learn the dam language basics then fulfill their 
  quest to sing Tamil
  songs. Let me warn heads up, I am not a language fanatic; after hearing 
  the track I felt Tamil
  language has compromised in various places. The major stock holder in a 
  song is the lyrics;
  lyrics have to be communicated across using clean pronunciation. A good 
  lyric can be thrown to
  doll drums due to awkward pronunciations. With due respect to her singing 
  talent, my patience
  ran out for the lady vocals in this track. A. R Rahman has introduced many 
  Tamil singers who
  are good in Tamil pronunciations. Hence I feel there is no need for him to 
  stick with non Tamil
  speaking singers. Apart from that, another nose dive was the violin parts, 
  cliché strings all
  over the song. The string placements made the song close to a stage 
  devotional song.
  
  This was followed by a song sung by Chitra and Hariharan, The track 
  sounded too techno and
  mechanical. But songs gets litter save mint from the melody lines and 
  vocals Drum pattern was
  robotic especially in the charam. The bass parts were non-Rahmanish and 
  sounded programmed via
  plug-in. Next track, Thigu Thigu opens with a Radio/Phone EQ setting, but 
  soon it becomes
  cluttered with random VST synths and their beat patterns. Sadhana Sargam's 
  voice is as sweet as
  it gets. Her pronunciation is manageable. Blaaze does backing vocals and 
  tries to sing hard
  Tamil words. Blaze needs to work more on ல் ல ள் ள
  sounds,he has done enough songs in tamil to understand the difference. 
  Mixing a Techno groove
  and a Tabla seems too dragging to me.
  
  Maramkothiye sung by Shankar Mahadevan, Shalini, Vasundara Das, Blaaze has 
  some color. But once
  again beats are kind of sliced and totally electronic. Mr. Harmony Where 
  are you? This might
  work for Euro clubs but not to me; Finally, Thazhuvudu : Spb Shreya Goyal
  அறுக்குது
  அறுக்குது
  தழுவுது
  நழுவுது..
  அறுறுறுறுக்குது
  அறுக்குது. Vocoder usage and other
  special effects seemed novel. However track becomes really boring after 
  the 39th second.
  
  The only song that has some face is the song sung by Rahman - en-anbe, 
  Rahman struggles to sing
  in high pitches. To me it sounded like song over an Xphraze [VST] pattern.

[arr] Re: Chennai Meet - Great Feel

2005-07-26 Thread Vinod Raju
Hi,

Thanks a bunch to all of you who turned up for the
meeting, and made it a grand success.

For a start, it was good. really good.
And lets make this a regular event, once every month.

I will just brief you some points which linger in my
mind about the meet. (This also conains thoughts
expressed by Bhaskar)
 
First of all this was the maiden ARR fans meet at
Chennai. 
Umpteen attempts at having a meeting of Chennai
Rahmaniacs never materialised. And finally we made it
happen.
The response was so good. 11 fans met at the Anna
Tower at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday (23rd July 2005).

All those who turned in will never forget the evening
atleast for quite some time, for sure.
 
Karthik S (Chennai)
Sri Balaji
Gururaj
Jarshad
Bhaskar
Ram Prasath
Badri
Srinivas Raghavan
Ganesh
Vinod Raju
 
The whole meeting took place, riding on the high
spirits of Ah-Aah audio's super success.
We had nice time discussing on the various albums,
BGMs and much more the spiritual stuffs of BOSS. 
We were also discussing about the future projects of
Rahman. 
We also discussed on our plans for meeting Rahman
personally and also showing our presence for the 3D
Concert, and also for Netru Indru Naalai concert.
We also took photographs and it will be memorable one
in our life.
(PICS are uploaded at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/?saved=1)

So we had planned, whether it is a movie or a concert,
we the fans will go in a mass and give big cheers for
our ISAI PUYAL.

Once again, BIG thanks to all the attendees from the
bottom of my heart.
And special thanks to Karthik who was there for
co-ordinating this event right from the start,
To all those confirmed folks who couldnt make it due
to some reason or other, hope to see you all for the
next meeting, which we are planning to have in a
grander scale during August end.
 

Thanks and regards,
Vinod Raju

Re: [arr] Re: sick of the music could have been better (pls MUST READ for fans)

2005-07-26 Thread Vinayakam Murugan



Oh, I am hindi speaking so do not get to listen tamil music,nor to see tamil film here.
I have heard of Iruvar, having vennilaa by Asha shot on Aishat the backdrop of Taj mahal, but I was not aware ofstoryline that it was a period song.I wonder why Mani did nod dub the movie/ music for hindi
audience.
It was based on the Karunanidhi - MGR political rivalry somewhere in
the 1960's . So the storyline was very situational to TN. I rate it as
one of Mani and ARR's very best.

thanks for sharing..but i felt that this review was
confusing at the end


--- Gopal Srinivasan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Mangal Pandey Music Review
   
 
 You would not have awaited any film so much in the
 recent times, as this one. Right from the
 day, it hit the floors, The Rising has been
 constantly in news, sometimes for the wrong reasons
 though, but if Aamir's last release is anything to
 go by, then Mangal Pandey sure wins the most
 awaited film's title. The film also has the
 country's latest queen bee, Rani Mukehrjee and
 would have been a sort of a casting coup if
 Aishwarya Rai had played a part (considering the
 latest controversy), which is now being played by
 quite out of news and in need of a hit,
 Amisha Patel. It also has a foreign actor Toby
 Stephens, as it's a period film based on the
 historic mutiny of Indian Soldiers in 1857.
 Producers Bobby Bedi - Deepa Sahi along with her
 director husband Ketan Mehta, have ensured the movie
 looks enormously affluent as well as
 authentic with elaborate costumes and opulent sets
 that match the era. However, this also means
 the music must carry the film's historic flavor and
 must have been difficult to comprehend how
 the music was, nearly a hundred and fifty years
 back. For a movie of such high magnitude,
 anything less than the music maestro A.R. Rahman and
 the veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar, would
 have been undeserved.
 
 Kailash Kher makes an extremely impressive start
 with Mangal Mangal, the title track that has
 the pace, incite and intensity that evokes a strong
 undercurrent of patriotism, especially when
 audio visualized. Yet, this is just the beginning,
 as the track has been composed thrice with
 Kailash Kher being a constant and precisely, he does
 have the voice that conveys the rage,
 agony and might of a phenomenon called Mangal
 Pandey. The track is essentially a theme song of
 the movie where the other two tracks are called Agni
 and Aatma. While the Agni version is
 analogous to the original with some additional brisk
 and vigor, the Aatma version is tenacious
 and persistent with Sukhwinder Singh adding some
 heart and soul into this vehement sonata of
 patriotism.
 
 After the rumbling Mangal Mangal comes the
 soothing Main Vari Vari. Kavita Krishnamurthy,
 who is undoubtedly one of the best and most
 versatile voices of Indian Cinema, croons this one
 along with Reena Bhardwaj (wife of music director
 Vishal Bharadwaj) with utmost conviction and
 is spot on with every emotion, like always. Only the
 likes of Rahman can do justice to the
 velvety and divine vocals of both these extremely
 gifted singers that are still
 under-exploited. Although, the track does not have a
 remarkably great tune, being a Rahman
 classic, it will incontestably grow on its listeners
 at a pace they would never know and Javed
 Akhtar's significant words chanted by Kavita will do
 the rest.
 
 The ancient Holi celebrations get underway with
 Holi Re where Mr. Perfect himself takes to
 the mike and once again delivers a flawless piece of
 perfection. While Aamir Khan restricts
 himself to the swift poetic verse, Udit Narayan,
 Madhusree, Srinivas and Chinmaye do the actual
 singing. Rich with varied vocals that sound
 authentically pleasant, the track is the entire
 music crew's humble and sincere effort that does not
 take long to bag the predilection of its
 audiences too.
 
 The album only gets folksier with a mystical track
 Rasiya that has the music talking to your
 senses. Not all, but a few intense music lovers
 might find this exciting, as they plunge deeper
 into this unusual symphony of sagacity with Richa
 Sharma, Bomnie Chakraborty.
 
 The opening Shehnai pieces of Takey Takey will
 remind you of Saiyaan from Rahman but the
 track quickly swerves to exclusivity as Sukhwinder
 Singh, Kailash Kher, Kartick Das Baul along
 with a cluster of kids in chorus execute this one
 with bracing rapidity. The track should
 inherently thrive on Javed Akhtar's satirical
 vocabulary followed by Rahman's spry composition
 that makes an entertaining listening.
 
 A cry of help from the almighty with words richer
 than the normal comes in its pure Islamic
 form in Al Maddath Maula. A.R. Rahman along with
 Kailash Kher, Murtaza and Kadir collaborate
 in finely tuned accord for this solemn track that
 may not have a great auditory value, but
 would serve a very important purpose in the movie
 itself.
 
 The two masters of music come together for creating
 the music of this great Indian saga of
 patriotism. Considering the film will not give those
 regular situational liberties and the
 music has to harmonize with the film's flavor and
 style, Javed Akhtar for one has given more
 than hundred percent. As for Rahman, he is competing
 with none other than his own self and
 Rahman's best is yet to come.
 
 So much for an endless wait for a movie that stars -
 Aamir Khan!

[arr] Shankar's Interview

2005-07-26 Thread bpr_arr





This is an interview with Shankar carried out by a 
website "cinegoer.com". I am just pasting the interesting section of the 
interview.

Why didn't you take special care about the 
music?

Harris Jayaraj’s music was satisfactory. But the 
problem is that most of the people are comparing my earlier movies with this 
one. Comparatively this music is lighter and that is what is needed 
here.

Re: [arr] If u really are a ARR fan!!!!!

2005-07-26 Thread Vanitha G
I am all for not downloading the songs and all but the
point about Desam. I believe it did not do so well not
because of the downloading but to the fact that it was
not given any publicity. Plus, I don't hear any of
these songs on the airwaves, not the mention the movie
in tamil. What do you think?

[arr] Many a trick up his sleeve

2005-07-26 Thread Gopal Srinivasan
Many a trick up his sleeve

Going by the adulation of his fans during the audio release of Ah Aah 
the other day, S
J Suryah has indeed come some way. The 'New' generation director-turned-actor 
has been coming
out with his bagful of tricks to give the younger generation some mouthful 
palatable offering.

Suryah's directorial abilities were conspicuous in Vaali followed by 
Kushi. When he
took to acting, there were misgivings regarding his unconventional looks. But 
he used the
sentimental factor to a profitable tune and struck an instant rapport with the 
masses.

Busy in giving shape to his latest Ah Aah, due to hit the theatres in 
August, Suryah
entered into a freewheeling chat.

Q: Tell us on Ah Aah?

A: It's a beautiful love story which I came across in my life. Every 
youth would have
had that experience. The movie unwinds the interesting happenings in a youth's 
life. Now that
Simran has moved over to Delhi, you have the Delhiite (Nila) to fill in the 
breach. With A R
Rahman's music, did not have to look elsewhere for inspiration.

Q: How important is a title for a movie?

A: It's as essential as pallavi for a song, like one's initials. When 
there were
protests to change the title of BF, I carefully chose an alternative by urging 
my fans to pick
one. Thus BF became Ah Aah.

Q: Is glamour an essential ingredient in today's genre of movies?

A: Glamour is part of our life. Life is meaningless sans glamour. When 
it sells, there
is nothing wrong.

Q: How was it to combine acting and directing besides producing New?

A: A great experience, never deeming it a burden. Enjoyed shooting 
every frame of it,
everything going off smoothly. Also a great learning experience.

Q: Assess yourself as an actor?

A: Hopefully, did justice to the character - a lot trickier than what I 
had imagined.
Having penned the script, was confident to bring out the right emotions. The 
director in me was
comfortable with the hero (laughs!). Even in my next film Kalvanin Kadhali, I 
simply do what my
director demands me to perform on screen.

Q: On your comfort level with A R Rahman?

A: He is a great music composer. It is always a pleasure to work with 
him. Quite
typical to New, he has come out with six scintillating numbers for Ah Aah. He 
is an ocean and
directors have to swim deep to get what they want.

Q: Does the Tamil industry wear a healthy look today?

A: You can say that again. Movies are doing well at the box office. 
There is a beeline
of talented youngsters. Films have been getting rave reviews and accolades. You 
must view in
that perspective.

[arr] Song Details of LOTR - The Theatrical

2005-07-26 Thread naveenjn
Here is an interview with producer Kevin Wallace.
http://www.playbill.com/news/article/94231.html

From the interview, I will list out the musically relevant points

There is indeed a score and songs, but don't expect a soaring ballad
of love, or comedy patter numbers from the Hobbits of Middle Earth —
you will not hear You're Getting to be a Hobbit With Me.

However, music might rise organically from situations. For example,
Arwen sings a lullaby to ailing Frodo, or the Hobbits croon a
folk-like traveling song to pass the time and raise their spirits.

Wallace also indicated that Gollum has a virtuoso solo number that is
very unusual, Gimli sings a wonderful, haunting 'ancient' lament. And
Galadriel has a magnificent musical number in Lothlòrien. One of the
really exciting aspects of the score is how voices are used as part of
the orchestration. This has been inspired by the three Värttinä
singers' Finnish vocal tradition.

Producer Wallace said there will even be a cast album of the work,
expected to be recorded after the show opens in March 2006. Yes, a
live orchestra is part of the theatre experience, as well. Rick Fox
will conduct.

There is non-stop music. The action sequences are like
mini-symphonies. Helm's Deep is a fantastic number with some great
percussion inspired by Indian and mid-European musical traditions, and
The Last Battle will be extraordinary. Our Hobbits have a distinctive
musical tradition that is very catchy and a lot of fun.

There are 14 music numbers in the show as well as other wonderful
action sequences that are instrumental musical sequences in their own
right — such as the Flight to the Ford and Gandalf's confrontation
with The Balrog.
