Re: [arr] 'M' CUBE;MY VIEW

2006-01-08 Thread Siddharth Iyer



well .wat do i say  i really dont completely agree with u fellas,songs like jhalak dikhla jaa,right here right now are really good.  BUT I DO AGREE THAT SONGS OF RDB ARE SURELY BETTER ,JUST LIKE A MANI RATHNAM MOVIE IS BETTER THAN SIVAKASI OR TIRUPACHI.  but u know what a day will come wen the class of rahman will appear better to the massy songs of others.P.S.-TO GIVE RESHAMIYA MORE BAD WORDS CHECK OUT SUROOR.  I PERSONALLY LIKED IT  Send instant messages to your online friends http://in.messenger.yahoo.com

that Woh Kisna from SG's dud movie Kisna was composed by Ismail 
Darbar and not Rahman!!! Nevertheless, what matters is the intent 
behind the article and I must say it was well written

[arr] ARR'S POTRAIT IN SUN TV'S PROGRAMME

2006-01-08 Thread shaik mahaboob



Hi Friends,Its is really amazing to see the big potrait of ourboss ARR next to legend P. Suseela inmusical programme telecasted on every Sunday in Sun TV.hats of to our legend ARR, his fans and music lovers.  die hard fan of ARRSHAIK MAHABOOBstylegamer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  In fact our boss is god for them. Without ARR other MDs will not be around in a big way too...at most originality and creativity will be stumped wih them ripping off from English songs Consider this case of Deva in the early 90s..ARR set the trend for them to follow...after ARR appeared Deva started following Arr's trend in Aasai and became a sought after MD for a
 while.next is Vidyasagar who scored big with his Kalaignan ,Senkottai, Karna and a couple of Arr inspired mid-eastern post "Bombay" songs which were common from Vidyasagar in the mid 90sbecame a sought after MD for a while.Next was Karthik/yuvan Raja with Ullasam and other albums like Poovellam ketuppar with Arr inspired mid 90s "spanish" songs...Well lastly i would say HJ tops them all. HJ i noticed is very obvious. He gets his cues from ARR's BGMs too...Take his songs like 12B and Lesa lesa all seem to be ripped off from past ARR BGMS and sound effects. and recycled

hi all. i read this blog-link belowbut posted a comment regarding small correction and also emailed to the blogger-Navin. He was posted as ARR introduced sadna sargam which is not correct. It was Vidyasagar who introduced her 8 years back and then maestro ilayaraja gave offers and next it was ARR's turn to give Vennilavae, Snehithane  Konjum Mainakalae and so Sargam was widely noticed by other tamil MDs and rest became history to sargam. your views plse if any. thanx pankaj :-)Gopal Srinivasan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:http://navinwrites.blogspot.com/2006/01/happy-birthday-ar-rahman-jan-6th.html__Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam?

[arr] what says Sandeep Chowta about arr

2006-01-08 Thread vinod
found an interesting article
it is from filmfare 2002 feb edition

How do you compare yourself with A.R. Rahman and Anu Malik, the two hotshots 
music directors of today? 
Both Rahman and Anu are my seniors. Rahman revolutionised sound. He's a 
trend-setter in more ways than one. The only thing common between us is the 
fact that we started out in advertising and moved on to films. There's just no 
comparison otherwise. Rahman is a legend of sorts. As for Anu, hats off to him. 
He's been around for 20 years and he still keeps churning out chartbusters. 
That's no mean achievement. 

Are you insecure about these guys? 
No, I have my hands full so there's no insecurity. Even if I want to, I'm 
incapable of taking on more work.

[arr] What does the weak exposure of music of Rang De Basanti prove ?

2006-01-08 Thread dsuday
From what I understand from some of the posts which have been put across  
by members, it seems that RDB Music is not a sales success which was a
shock to me as this seems to be one of the Best Music of 2000's

We do not have the Nielson soundscans or NPD surverys type thing in
India, hence it would be premature to assume that this hasnt sold well
till information confirming this is made available.

That there is currently a kind of Bias or a movement with sole purpose
of undermining ARR's effort and ignore the variety of his creativity
with misinformation, half truths and pure ignorance.

At one end we have the Music professionals who make comments which
strive to undermine his musical genius, while during his hey days
heaped praise on his abilities, ofcourse there were Old timers who had
criticised him from his early days but I am talking about the current
crop who are doing their best to discredit him now.

At other end we have music lovers if you call them so (I know it
sound s pretty condescending as if I am being very biased...but it is
not so), who say that his music is repetiive his creativity is
limited okay some songs were good but that doesnt mean he is great
he is not versatle...look at RD burman etc. The music loving
public who used to buy the album just by seeing his name in the late
90's are not opening up and buying his music as they used to do so and
therby contributing to the decline.

From what I understand from my experience and I am not any
professional just a layman who can feel and experience good music, and
judge what is a creation of greatness, what is mediocre, what is
ephemeral. Just like other members I just believe in my instincts to
judge music. Indian public has been fed on similar kind of popular
music since the LP records started selling here. All the songs confirm
 to some Basic rules, have a defined structure and were inspired by
the Classical musics of different era...modified and downgraded so
that the general public can enjoy them. That is the only bit of
innovation they did, they made music in such a way that it appeals to
the common man and he came to expect all the songs to follow similar
standards, and in this limited setup many great music pieces have come
which have been of great artistic and commercial success. The only
musicians who tried to do some sort of innovation to this setup was RD
Burman and OP Nayyar and probably few others. Their music was hit and
apprecaited but nobody would have called them great musicians. From
what I have seen RD Burman's became recognized as a great Music
director since his death, as the industry found his output was of
remixable quality which can appeal to the current generations. This
infact grew his popularity and made people like me end up buying all
the available collection of his original song currently existing in
market. In this kind of setup ARR had set in and brought in an
entirely different musical experience to the music loving public. He
defined and created something called Individual style in which the
musician is recognized just by listening to the music. Though this
would be a bare minimum in other places as just by listening to a
small sample people were able to judge whether the song was by The
WHo, Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin etc else, this ability became
something special here.

ARR's popularity and his musical successes grew and he seemed to
garner all major awards and had excellent sales to show. He was by far
the greatest Music Director in India and had a star power no musician
ever enjoyed in India. 

And then came the Going International phase, during the time which
most of his Indian releases tanked. In the end it all turned to
success for his music which we of Blockbuster quality and the last
major hits turned out ot be Lagaan and Saathiya. His musically
superior albums which were released subsequently did not do as well as
they might have deserved, many of the movies didnt have the star power
and incase they had star power (Swades, Mangal Pandey) the music was
so true to the subject that it was not possible for them to be
immediately appeable in the current scenario of bubblegum remixes and
songs. Infact these have been stated as ARR' musical decline and loss
of commercial credibility.

Today ARR is in a position where his music would be compared to his
peers (who are worthless except SEL)and his music would have to be of
Blockbusterish quality to sell. I had thought RDB had a very great
possibility of bringing back ARR on the league he once was in again,
but it seems to be not so. I hope that after the release of the movie
and if it becomes a success people understand and appreciate the music
better and give the man his due. 

Or he should completely be concentrating more on International Project
s and maybe he will reach the stature of John Williams or James
Horner. Atleast the collective worldwide audience would not expect
predictability once they acknowledge his genius.

[arr] 2006 IS THE YEAR OF LEGEND ISAI PUYAL ARRAHMAN

2006-01-08 Thread shaik_mahaboob2003
Hi Dear Friends,

The Year 2006, undoubtedly, the year of Musical Wizard, Isai Puyal 
Padmashri AR Rahman. The Music of RDB is already on the Chart 
Bursters and after the release of the RDB Movie, we all sense and 
hope  that it is certainly going to creat waves among the youth and 
old. Similarly, the music of Shivaji, Water, Jilendru Oru Kadhal, 
Dasavaoutharam, God father, Puli will certainly appeal the masses. 

The lucky Nummber of Isai Puyal ARR is # 5 and # 6. Obviously, his 
house # 5 and name of his Studio is once again Panchathan, which 
means 5 in Urdu. ARR'S birth day is on 6/1/2006. If you total 
6+1+2+0+0+6= 15 =6. R+A+H+M+A+N= 6  

In the Middle of May(5) or June (6)ARR will be conferred with a Hon. 
Doctorate or any other Honour by the any of the indian State's 
University or international. Hence the year 2006 is undoubtedly the 
year of our Boss.

WE all Pray Almighty Allah to bless our legend with all success, 
peace and prosperity in the days to come.  

Die hard Fan of ARR


SHAIK MAHABOOB

[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] Re: Taal Rangeela inspired from Vangelis' compositions

2006-01-08 Thread Roshan
I believe, his piece of music might have been used in the films, may
not be by the composer but the director (!!) like using as a record
being played at background at certain scene or something like that ? 
any idea ?  

it is shown as uncredited isnt it ? usually bollywood movies does not
give any credit to any of the materials that they use from other films
or records, where as in hollywood, you can actually see, even a small
scene from the Tom  Jerry will be properly credited

 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.

Re: [arr] What does the weak exposure of music of Rang De Basanti prove ?

2006-01-08 Thread Doraiswamy S.



I am an ARR fan but I dont find RDB all that good .. its ok in parts and he shows his briliance at some places .. but not very consistent though .. atleast to novice listeners like me. I think I have listened to Bluffmaster and Zinda more than RDB. I havent heard Kalyug. 
I dont find in RDB the kind of value I found in Alaipayuthey, Dil Se or Kandukodein. ARR himself is to blame for the high standards he set for himself in his intial years. Sadly I think he is not able to do that now. His golden period where everything he touched turned gold ..seemed to end after AlaiPayuthey and KK, 2 magnificient albums that released so close to each other. After that he did produce gems like Bose, Meenaxi .. but he couldnt strike chord with the general public. And that matters a lot.

 has an absolute heavy duty bhangra number that too in a unique style of rahman,an absolute masterpiece in the form of luka chuppi,a youthful number paathshaala,a lilting melody tu bin bataaye,an inspiritional track khoon chala,a discotheque track khalbali,an awesome compostiton roobaroo..what else can one ask for yaar? and still i find songs like jhalak dikhlaaja of himesh topping the charts which is a heavily sufi inspired track i guess with heavy duty beats...recently this discrimination has been more...but why??just because rahman has chosen to do some off beat movies like bose,swades,meenaxi etc..that's why i feel he has been overlooked in the countdowns..believe me the more 1 song stays at the top the more the film,the song gets popularity and people go on buying it's music..but that is not the case for RDB.. thts why i feel
 the sales have not yet started booming..imagine a track like "right here right now" staying at the top of the charts and a song like luka chuppi is at the bottom..it really gives me a sad feeling and i pity the listeners and the so called judges of these songs...who choose to avoid these memorable compositions..i know it is a long post but plz do post ur thoughts on it... at the same time i noticed that no song in RDB has an antara mukhra type of composition which no other MD can even dream of composing..

While it is true that

magic phrase

ARR delivered many
wonderful tunes after alaipayudhey and KK some of which you had already

Even during the

Hi,

This is very certain that some ppl always criticise. Its their hobby u can say.long back when RDBurman created some historic tunes, many criticised him, and also told that he will not be remembered...bla bla blabut now ppl admire him, the same is happening with ARR. 


When thiruda thiruda came many told that this is not at all goodmusic, but now they realise the power of it---it takes long 7-8 yrs..general listeners are not good enoughto assimilate ARR's music, the same persion can not appreciate Bluffmaster (with some bad voice of Avishek) andpiya ho at the same time..
