Very well said, Wasim about the expectations. I agree with you.

I also hope they have good lyrics for hindi and think it's ujjaiynee only.

 Hi all,
 
 I had a couple of questions, please chime in if anybody knows.
 
 1. Re: ATM - Couple of songs have been credited to Ujjaini.  Is this
 the same Ujjaini from Saregampa Challenge 2005?  Because, if it is
 then it's great to know that Rahman is tapping in the talent emerging
 from these competitions.  I would love to see Rahman give opportunity
 to Mauli, Sumedha or Amanat from SRGMP C2007.
 
 2. Re: Sivaji(Hindi) - Does anybody know who is doing the lyrics in
 Hindi?  I seriously hope they rope in Javed Akthar sahab or Prasoon
 Joshi for lyrics.  A lot of dubbed albums have suffered the fate of
 bad lyrics when translated.
 
 p.s. I have been hooked on ATM.  The album keeps growing on me, all
 songs hold their own.  Whoever has done the Remix of Ponmagal, has
 done a great job.  But the tortoise of the album, which has slowly and
 steadily won the race of winning my heart is Kelamal Kaiyile.  I
 didn't like this song in the beginning, I thought it was average, but
 wow, it was just my brain trying to understand what is going on in
 that song.  It has some serious experimentation - with tamil song and
 subtle techo/trans beats.  Only Rahman can think, create and deliver
 something like that.  
 
 People talk about expectations from Rahman albums, having too high
 expectations etc.. Honestly I do not have any expectations of Rahman.
  I'm a devotee of Rahman, and take whatever he has to offer, as a
boon.  
 
 All that is good and successful comes from God, all that is bad and
 failure is because of myself - Rahman himself (I can't remember the
 exact phrase but it was to the same effect.)
 
 Always,
 Proud to be a Rahmaniac.

Re: [arr] Two boons... My Take

My take on two boons :
   
  1. I will ask God to give two more A.R.R.s. (Two Clones.., mmm no.., 
Perfectly three ARRs of same calibre. Equally we have three ARRs without any 
single difference in talents and appearances between them)
   
  2. I will ask ARR to send one ARR to London to work for English/International 
projects. One ARR to stay in Tamil Nadu permanently to compose for more south 
indian film projects. Third ARR to stay in Bombay to work in Bollywood  other 
North Indian projects if offered.
   
  P.S.: If one ARR does this much Social Service for Poverty, TB, Cancer, 
Mental Disability etc. with his music, Imagine how much charity work, Three 
ARRs can give to this world through their Rocking music ? These two boons 
ultimately fulfill all kinds of fans with quality of music plus quantity? WHat 
you say ?

life time , as additional bonus to his lifetime, so that he can live my 
lifetime ; It would be more purposeful for the world of music

other
 magnificent songs in the album)

 Album rating: 10/10.

it is
 not easy. ATM has a bunch of complex compositions. Kudos to all

 Constant energy-sprinkling percussion which sounds great in 5.1

 Stylish Stylish Stylish

 The way the song begins is too sexy. LOVE IT!

 Notice that there are *NO* percussion in this song. Just the chiming
sounds
 with bass guitar does the trick for the song. That's ARR for you again

 Amazing additional programming. High-tech sounds embellish the song

 Casual rendition by male singer and female voice getting quite
squeaky..
 This balance has worked out great in the song

 Mesmerizing male and female alaaps. A

 complex song to execute.

 Brilliance of ARR

 Check out different layers in the song. All unique but very tough to
compose

 Raaga and corresponding alaap. Just magnificient! Come on, could
anyone
 merge both folk and carnatic genre?? Only ARR can handle it so

 Use of nathaswaram.. ARR makes even that instrument sound so pleasant

to Guru Dakshinamurthy from whom ARR learnt carnatic lessons. Hope you know ARR 
once told about his guru.

[arr] Dasavatharam - Himesh?

2007-10-28 Thread Ananth Padmaja

Who is scoring the music of Dasavatharam? Is it not ARR? Wasnt it supposed to 
be by Rahman? I read a music review in a Tamil Magazine that says the music is 
by Himesh and is awesome.

Re: [arr] My ATM review

Wonderfull review Thulsi :)

Thulasi Ram [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  I had to dedicate two hours for 
penning this review. I appreciate those who take time to go through this. 
Thanks.

First things first: ARR is doing re-recording/BGM for ATM. It's confirmed from 
reliable sources. Don't keep on spreading rumors. Rather, start spreading this 
information.

Understand the reality: You cannot have ATM songs in a movie like Boys and the 
vice versa is also not possible. ARR has come up with some working numbers to 
suit the image of a hero who has the potential to hit deep. So, free your mind 
and enjoy the songs given by the musical genius.

A bit of history- The lesson learnt: Till 2001, if an ARR song doesn't catch me 
instantly, I used to keep rambling like many in this group (!). I remember how 
bad I felt about mudhalvan songs initally. Later I realized how those songs 
grew in me. Similar case happened with Alaipayuthey. I never liked yaaro 
yaarodi, evano oruvan. But later, I realized how ARRs song create a swinging 
shift thereby making someone to rethink what he/she has thought about it 
initially. Okay there you go! That's ARR for you. I made something firm in me. 
i.e. Not to take any quick decisions for ARR albums. This strategy has worked 
great for me. For example, I never liked tu bin and lukka chuppi from RDB 
initially but I believed that ARR's song will grow in me. Later I felt that 
lukka chuppi is a gem of a song and tu bin bataye a golden gift from ARR. 

Bottom line: Accept ARRs songs as it comes and it will definitely strike gold 
in you simply because, music from ARR is not a result of ARRs work but ARRs 
blood. A man who has dedicated his life to music and a man who has the courage 
to experiment new sounds and genre of music. A simple example: When did rap 
become famous in regional movies? Only after ARR bought rap stuff in alai 
payuthe. 

Okay, lets dive into the subject of this mail.

ATM Review:

After Laggan, all songs in an ARR album have caught me instantly only in ATM 
i.e. m hearing all songs without skipping from day 1.

My pick of the album: Merlyn Monroe (just a shade sweeter than all the other 
magnificent songs in the album) 

Album rating: 10/10. 

Bottomline: A versatile Rahman in show. ARR makes music sound easy but it is 
not easy. ATM has a bunch of complex compositions. Kudos to all lyricists.

  Ellapugazhum
  Brilliance of ARR
ARR's voice and rendition; Great and mesmerizing. ARR adds life to the song
  The use of electric guitar - that's ARR for you
  Magnificent use of chords that pump the adrenalin (sample 4:02 - 4:10)
  The way the song ends.. Scintillating!
  Reverberating chiming section throughout the song - ARRs mind in play
  Constant energy-sprinkling percussion which sounds great in 5.1
  Merlyn Monroe
  Brilliance of ARR
Stylish Stylish Stylish
  The way the song begins is too sexy. LOVE IT!
  Notice that there are NO percussion in this song. Just the chiming sounds 
with bass guitar does the trick for the song. That's ARR for you again
  Amazing additional programming. High-tech sounds embellish the song
  Casual rendition by male singer and female voice getting quite squeaky.. 
This balance has worked out great in the song
  Mesmerizing male and female alaaps. A 

  complex song to execute.
  Valayapatti
  Brilliance of ARR
Check out different layers in the song. All unique but very tough to compose
  Raaga and corresponding alaap. Just magnificient! Come on, could anyone 
merge both folk and carnatic genre?? Only ARR can handle it so professionally. 
Result: A magnificient song like this
  Use of nathaswaram.. ARR makes even that instrument sound so pleasant to 
hear.
  The connection between both charanam and pallavi is too good. Folk + 
carnatic + percussion alaap (dheem thanaku dheem)
  Use of bass guitar and making it play all along when the raaga alaap is 
rendered. This is vintage ARR.
  Use of Naresh and madhumitha is commendable
  Kelamal
  Brilliance of ARR
Only ARR can handle melodies like munbae vaa, kaatril(from GF) and a song 
like this.. All are melodies but fall info different percussion genre. Just 
awesome.
  Ketu rasitha padal ondrai bit is amazing and  mesmerizing. An alternate 
version of it in the middle of the song is just scintillating
  Singer selection has again worked out beautifully for ARR.
  The song decorated by various versions of chiming sounds
  Kokilam Kokilam bit is very much hummable.
  A simple percussion handled so professionally to suit a melody like this
  Maduraiku
  Brilliance of ARR
Again, the instrument melam sounds professional when ARR uses it. This 
aspect as always been very unique for ARR. He does something to make the 
instruments and singers voice to suit the mood of the song. That's the 
brilliance of ARR
  Song beginning is very catchy and

Subject: Re: [arr] Two boons... My Take

My take on two boons :
 
1. I will ask God to give two more A.R.R.s. (Two Clones.., mmm no.., Perfectly 
three ARRs of same calibre. Equally we have three ARRs without any single 
difference in talents and appearances between them)
 
2. I will ask ARR to send one ARR to London to work for English/Internation al 
projects. One ARR to stay in Tamil Nadu permanently to compose for more south 
indian film projects. Third ARR to stay in Bombay to work in Bollywood  other 
North Indian projects if offered.
 
P.S.: If one ARR does this much Social Service for Poverty, TB, Cancer, Mental 
Disability etc. with his music, Imagine how much charity work, Three ARRs can 
give to this world through their Rocking music ? These two boons ultimately 
fulfill all kinds of fans with quality of music plus quantity? WHat you say ?

It would be more purposeful for the world of music

1. If God Appears, I will ask and pray to him to grant immortality to our Guru 
Rahman 
 
2. If ARR comes and gives me a boon, I would want to be associated with him for 
my lifetime, in Music by any means possible..

Re: [arr] ARR music + Bose Headphones...

2007-10-28 Thread balaji ramalingam

Yes..Many has different opinion...even i thought BOSE is just waste of
money, but when i listen ARR music in Bose QC2 and when you compare the
sound with other head phones...the quality is way ahead of other headphones
and ARR music simply rocks!
but i should say even Sennheiser is beautifully crafted to produce very good
music...My friend has this one...ARR music sounds greatly on
Sennheiser as Gomzy
said.

My roommate is a very die hard fan of Ilayaraja... but when he started
listening ARR music on Bose headphones he undoubtedly accepted greatness of
ARR music (i am not trying to create a debate on who is great! please i dont
want that). ARR BGM rocks on these headphones. i mean we are all great fans
of gifted musician ARR. To understand his great music we should listen in
Bose, Sennheiser as far as i know...

i am not earning that much to offer 300$ for Bose headphones. but i did a
lot of research and its worth spending that much amount just for only one
reason...and that is to listen ARR music.

2007-10-28 Thread izham_jamal

now tats d brilliance of Thulasi Ram...hehe...gud job






--- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Thulasi Ram [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
wrote:

 I had to dedicate two hours for penning this review. I appreciate 
those who
 take time to go through this. Thanks.
 
 First things first: ARR is doing re-recording/BGM for ATM. It's 
confirmed
 from reliable sources. Don't keep on spreading rumors. Rather, start
 spreading this information.
 
 Understand the reality: You cannot have ATM songs in a movie like 
Boys and
 the vice versa is also not possible. ARR has come up with 
some working
 numbers to suit the image of a hero who has the potential to hit 
deep. So,
 free your mind and enjoy the songs given by the musical genius.
 
 A bit of history- The lesson learnt: Till 2001, if an ARR song 
doesn't catch
 me instantly, I used to keep rambling like many in this group (!). I
 remember how bad I felt about mudhalvan songs initally. Later I 
realized how
 those songs grew in me. Similar case happened with Alaipayuthey. I 
never
 liked yaaro yaarodi, evano oruvan. But later, I realized how ARRs 
song
 create a swinging shift thereby making someone to rethink what 
he/she has
 thought about it initially. Okay there you go! That's ARR for you. 
I made
 something firm in me. i.e. Not to take any quick decisions for ARR 
albums.
 This strategy has worked great for me. For example, I never liked 
tu bin and
 lukka chuppi from RDB initially but I believed that ARR's song will 
grow in
 me. Later I felt that lukka chuppi is a gem of a song and tu bin 
bataye a
 golden gift from ARR.
 
 Bottom line: Accept ARRs songs as it comes and it will definitely 
strike
 gold in you simply because, music from ARR is not a result of ARRs 
work but
 ARRs blood. A man who has dedicated his life to music and a man who 
has the
 courage to experiment new sounds and genre of music. A simple 
example: When
 did rap become famous in regional movies? Only after ARR bought rap 
stuff in
 alai payuthe.
 
 Okay, lets dive into the subject of this mail.
 
 ATM Review:
 
 After Laggan, all songs in an ARR album have caught me instantly 
only in ATM
 i.e. m hearing all songs without skipping from day 1.
 
 My pick of the album: Merlyn Monroe (just a shade sweeter than all 
the other
 magnificent songs in the album)
 
 Album rating: 10/10.
 
 Bottomline: A versatile Rahman in show. ARR makes music sound easy 
but it is
 not easy. ATM has a bunch of complex compositions. Kudos to all 
lyricists.
 
   *Ellapugazhum*
 
 Brilliance of ARR
 
 ARR's voice and rendition; Great and mesmerizing. ARR adds life to 
the song
 
 The use of electric guitar - that's ARR for you
 
 Magnificent use of chords that pump the adrenalin (sample 4:02 - 
4:10)
 
 The way the song ends.. Scintillating!
 
 Reverberating chiming section throughout the song - ARRs mind in 
play
 
 Constant energy-sprinkling percussion which sounds great in 5.1
 
 *Merlyn Monroe*
 
 Brilliance of ARR
 
 Stylish Stylish Stylish
 
 The way the song begins is too sexy. LOVE IT!
 
 Notice that there are *NO* percussion in this song. Just the 
chiming sounds
 with bass guitar does the trick for the song. That's ARR for you 
again
 
 Amazing additional programming. High-tech sounds embellish the song
 
 Casual rendition by male singer and female voice getting quite 
squeaky..
 This balance has worked out great in the song
 
 Mesmerizing male and female alaaps. A
 
 complex song to execute.
 
 *Valayapatti*
 
 Brilliance of ARR
 
 Check out different layers in the song. All unique but very tough 
to compose
 
 Raaga and corresponding alaap. Just magnificient! Come on, could 
anyone
 merge both folk and carnatic genre?? Only ARR can handle it so
 professionally. Result: A magnificient song like this
 
 Use of nathaswaram.. ARR makes even that instrument sound so 
pleasant to
 hear.
 
 The connection between both charanam and pallavi is too good. Folk +
 carnatic + percussion alaap (dheem thanaku dheem)
 
 Use of bass guitar and making it play all along when the raaga 
alaap is
 rendered. This is vintage ARR.
 
 Use of Naresh and madhumitha is commendable
 
 *Kelamal*
 
 Brilliance of ARR
 
 Only ARR can handle melodies like munbae vaa, kaatril(from GF) and 
a song
 like this.. All are melodies but fall info different percussion 
genre. Just
 awesome.
 
 Ketu rasitha padal ondrai bit is amazing and  mesmerizing. An 
alternate
 version of it in the middle of the song is just scintillating
 
 Singer selection has again worked out beautifully for ARR.
 
 The song decorated by various versions of chiming sounds
 
 Kokilam Kokilam bit is very much hummable.
 
 A simple percussion handled so professionally to suit a melody like 
this
 
 *Maduraiku*
 
 Brilliance of ARR
 
 Again, the instrument melam sounds professional when ARR uses it. 
This
 aspect as always been very unique for ARR. He does something to 
make the
 instruments and singers voice to suit the mood of the song. That's 
the
 brilliance of ARR

[arr] ATM - My View/Reaction

2007-10-28 Thread Sam Sujith

1. Ellapugazhum: Requisite big opening to the song...nice to hear
the claps, vocals and the guitar chug to achieve the bigness of the
sound, instead of the trumpets and timpanis and such...also, the
opening sounds are very minimal and still owing to their sound design
convey the bigness properly...but then, the ensuing rhythm is a let
down..kind of wimpy...though the rhythm seems to carry the song, its a
letdown for me...I like the way the song is tuned...a straight forward
minor scale tune, with no elaborate ornaments and all...and eschewing
the tired pallavi-charanam format...But why the Michale Jackson like
imitation at one point? It may or  may not have been intentional, but
kind of robs something for me... I like the solo horn(s) in the
interlude...the arrangements become dense and light at the proper
moments conveying a nice punch (hey thoda after the first charanam for
example)...a very different end to the song with some high pitched
vocals...

2.Ponmagal: Couldnt quite warm up to this song...the rap turns me
off...liked the charanam though...nicely built up, and ARR even
samples the original singer from the old original song at couple of
points...that was a nice twist...

3.Kelaamal: Another disappointment for me...depending on my mood. Of
most of the times I heard this song, it sounded tired..the tune,
arrangements and all...Blame my perceptions, but the tune sounded
nomadic...couldnt quite get the direction of it...seemed to
wander...And the arrangement was a bigger let down...standard 4/4 kick
and bass, with some gated sounds and arps and some bells and
whistles...The violin pieces only added to the normalness of the
song...I guess I would have loved this song, if it were given some
Narumugaye like arrangements...On the other hand, if I am in a good
mood, I can just listen to it as it as and not be bothered by it...but
its not happening much with this song...

4.Nee Marilyn: Now this I adore...the playfullness in the song is very
evident without beating me over the head...nice buildup right from the
beginning...the DJ naan phrase is absolutely tasty...the singers had
the perfect delivery...the FMish synth lead, the portamento motif are
delicious...also love the way the song is structured...in short, I
like everything about the song (lyrics I dont understand)...and best
of all, I can bob my head to it..

5.Maduraikku: The tune sounded vaguely familiar...but I love the
timbre of the voices...made a huge difference...I love the way the
charanam is tuned...and the way the female singer finishes off the
second charanam is an absolute delight...made me wish that she had
sung the whole song in that octave...her timbre is raw and beautiful
there...I have never been disappointed in general by ARR's nadaswaram
solos and they dont disappoint here either...the drums sounded a bit
weak and cramped for me though...it cud be the speakers...but I
remember the rhythm sections in Sangamam being more punchy, breathy
and spacey, and Sangamam employed a huge range of percussion...

6.Valayapatti: Another delightful song for me...A natural progression
for Kummi Aadi...or rather a better version of Kummi Aadi...love the
introduction, the female voice introducing the more sombre part of the
song...the following arrangements make a better sense when viewed over
the course of the whole intro, rather than the individual parts...how
they say about sum being greater than the parts...and then some
instruments introduce us the valayapatti melody line and the male
singers just rush from there...the whole pallavi makes for an
interesting listen...with the male voices being rumbunctious and
rushed, while the female lines are subdued and relaxed...couldnt make
out much out of the first interlude, probably works better on the
screen...the charanam arrangements are very nice again for me...pa pa
ni sa lines are introduced as swaras by the male vocals in the first
charanam, while the female sings some lyrics to the same tune in the
second charanam...and the remaining lines are the same pattern over
diffeent set of notes for the male and female voices...like it when
the whole chorus joins in saying the raga name...observe the weak and
strong accents of the bars when saying kalyani, bhagyasri, neelambari
versus sindhubhairavi...a change from where the vocal emphasis is more
rhythm oriented to something lyric oriented...I am a zero in carnatic
, but I like the way swaras sound...neways, I think I am ramblng
on...but this song works for me...

overall, i cud appreciate ARR doing varied projects at the same time,
but from this album, I would come back and listen to nee marlin and
valayapatti frequently, and i wud listen to ellapuzhagum and
maduraikku now and then...what i mean is it cud have been a better
album, so in a sense, some sort of disappointment...Now ARR definelty
knows better than me on how the songs are and how they shud be
like,its just that for my tastes, it wasnt a complete match...not
that it matters what i feel or

Re: [arr] ARR music + Bose Headphones...

2007-10-28 Thread kaissiom

If I may add my 2 cents:

I have been collecting quality headphones/audio equipment, and from my
personal experience I can say that in my opinion Bose is overrated.  I
have couple of Bose headphones (+ Bose HomeTheater) and they are great
at reproducing bass, but they really compromise in reproducing mids 
highs.  So, if I really want to emphasize on bass, I listen to it on
Bose, but my $70 Aiwa HP-AK100, which I have for regular use, 
outperforms Bose in other areas.  

I also prefer Sennheiser over Bose.  Just the fact that Bose doesn't
even disclose their frequency ranges/specification is really
frustrating because you can't compare Bose with other headphones based
on specs.

But it really comes down to personal preference and your ear for
detail.  My mom can't tell the difference between Bose and RCA.

If you are really in the market to buy Bose headphones, I recommend
you consider these as well:

1. Bang  Olufson A8 earphones:
http://www.bang-olufsen.com/page.asp?id=46

2. Sennheiser HD 595:
http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/icm_eng.nsf/root/05343

3. Etymotic ER.4:
http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er4.aspx

And if you want ultimate headphones...then these:

1. Shure E500:
http://www.shure.com/PersonalAudio/Products/Earphones/SEModels/us_pa_se530_content

2. Denon AH-D5000:
http://usa.denon.com/ProductDetails/3456.asp

I'm currently saving up for E500, it has three dedicated drivers to
cater to highs/mids/lows and they have fit them all in a plug, let's see.

 This is an excellent read. Thanks for sending it, Gopal.
 
 What irks me however are the poses that the photographer has had ARR
do. The regular pics are fine. It's just the 'Titanic' pose, and the
reclining-in-deep-thought pose in his studio that are annoying. I do
recognize that it's simply awesome to capture an artist in his moment
of peace or excitement or elation. But it's downright insulting to set
up all this with a fake moment. Is there anyone who thinks those two
pictures were ARR's own genuine actions/pose?
 
 ARR being such a humble and down-to-earth person went out of the way
to oblige them. The interview even mentions his discomfort in posing
for the pictures. I'm glad ARR stood his ground in not granting them
what they wanted in the picture with his wife. It's a shame that for
all the great nuggets in the article it had to be marred by those
artificial poses. Don't these fellows have anything like a

Re: [arr] Re: My ATM review

2007-10-28 Thread haja nawaz

very nice review buddy...ON initial hearing i dint like valayapetti and ella 
puhalum...
  but i saw many people rating ella puhalum as the chartbuster one ...i am not 
able to digest it as the opening song of vijay after the aadungada song ..
  (Taste differs)...Of course it sounds different and may be a different 
opening for vijay...
   
  but now i m very much into the valayapatti song ..it is  th toughest and most 
beautiful composition, i wud say
   
  but do anybody note that the madhurai song sound similar to mathadu 
malligai from arunachalam...only at the end of the charanam..
   
  also 'Kelaamal' song has some touches of aagaya vennilave,an ilayaraja 
song...
   
   
  not much but when i hear these two songs every time it reminds those 2 songs 
...
   
  But ARR has done RICH AND DIFFICULT COMPOSITIONS VERY EASILY IN THIS ALBUM..
  I M PROUD TO BUY THIS KETTAVARELLAM PADUM  ALBUM ON THE FIRST DAY ITSELF...

 I had to dedicate two hours for penning this review. I appreciate
those who
 take time to go through this. Thanks.

 First things first: ARR is doing re-recording/BGM for ATM. It's
confirmed
 from reliable sources. Don't keep on spreading rumors. Rather, start
 spreading this information.

 Understand the reality: You cannot have ATM songs in a movie like Boys
and
 the vice versa is also not possible. ARR has come up with some
working
 numbers to suit the image of a hero who has the potential to hit
deep. So,
 free your mind and enjoy the songs given by the musical genius.

 A bit of history- The lesson learnt: Till 2001, if an ARR song doesn't
catch
 me instantly, I used to keep rambling like many in this group (!). I
 remember how bad I felt about mudhalvan songs initally. Later I
realized how
 those songs grew in me. Similar case happened with Alaipayuthey. I
never
 liked yaaro yaarodi, evano oruvan. But later, I realized how ARRs song
 create a swinging shift thereby making someone to rethink what he/she
has
 thought about it initially. Okay there you go! That's ARR for you. I
made
 something firm in me. i.e. Not to take any quick decisions for ARR
albums.
 This strategy has worked great for me. For example, I never liked tu
bin and
 lukka chuppi from RDB initially but I believed that ARR's song will
grow in
 me. Later I felt that lukka chuppi is a gem of a song and tu bin
bataye a
 golden gift from ARR.

 Bottom line: Accept ARRs songs as it comes and it will definitely
strike
 gold in you simply because, music from ARR is not a result of ARRs
work but
 ARRs blood. A man who has dedicated his life to music and a man who
has the
 courage to experiment new sounds and genre of music. A simple example:
When
 did rap become famous in regional movies? Only after ARR bought rap
stuff in
 alai payuthe.

 Okay, lets dive into the subject of this mail.

 ATM Review:

 After Laggan, all songs in an ARR album have caught me instantly only
in ATM
 i.e. m hearing all songs without skipping from day 1.

 My pick of the album: Merlyn Monroe (just a shade sweeter than all the
other
 magnificent songs in the album)

 Album rating: 10/10.

 Bottomline: A versatile Rahman in show. ARR makes music sound easy but
it is
 not easy. ATM has a bunch of complex compositions. Kudos to all
lyricists.

 *Ellapugazhum*

 Brilliance of ARR

 ARR's voice and rendition; Great and mesmerizing. ARR adds life to the
song

 The use of electric guitar - that's ARR for you

 Magnificent use of chords that pump the adrenalin (sample 4:02 - 4:10)

 The way the song ends.. Scintillating!

 Reverberating chiming section throughout the song - ARRs mind in play

 Constant energy-sprinkling percussion which sounds great in 5.1

 *Merlyn Monroe*

 Brilliance of ARR

 Stylish Stylish Stylish

 The way the song begins is too sexy. LOVE IT!

 Notice that there are *NO* percussion in this song. Just the chiming
sounds
 with bass guitar does the trick for the song. That's ARR for you again

 Amazing additional programming. High-tech sounds embellish the song

 Casual rendition by male singer and female voice getting quite
squeaky..
 This balance has worked out great in the song

 Mesmerizing male and female alaaps. A

 complex song to execute.

 *Valayapatti*

 Brilliance of ARR

 Check out different layers in the song. All unique but very tough to
compose

 Raaga and corresponding alaap. Just magnificient! Come on, could
anyone
 merge both folk and carnatic genre?? Only ARR can handle it so
 professionally. Result: A magnificient song like this

 Use of nathaswaram.. ARR makes even that instrument sound so pleasant
to
 hear.

 The connection between both charanam and pallavi is too good. Folk +
 carnatic + percussion alaap (dheem thanaku dheem)

 Use of bass guitar and

  This is an excellent read. Thanks for sending it, Gopal.
  
  What irks me however are the poses that the photographer has had ARR
 do. The regular pics are fine. It's just the 'Titanic' pose, and the
 reclining-in-deep-thought pose in his studio that are annoying. I do
 recognize that it's simply awesome to capture an artist in his moment
 of peace or excitement or elation. But it's downright insulting to set
 up all this with a fake moment. Is there anyone who thinks those two
 pictures were ARR's own genuine actions/pose?
  
  ARR being such a humble and down-to-earth person went out of the way
 to oblige them. The interview even mentions his discomfort in posing
 for the pictures. I'm glad ARR stood his ground in not granting them
 what they wanted in the picture with his wife. It's a shame that for
 all the great nuggets in the article it had to be marred by those
 artificial poses. Don't these fellows have anything like a
 journalistic integrity?

  Azhagiya Tamil Magan, don't want to put it as a much hyped album
  atleast not in our group I guess,bcos ppl know wat a vijay starring movie
  wud give us..May b bcos I dint expect anything,this album seems to b sooo
  good for me..But its really disheartening to c lots of negative reviews on
  this movie..hmmm I want to put in my thots on d so called reviews given by
  lots of ppl here..
 
  1.Why compare???
  Guys,v very well know ATM is a perfect commercial movie and
  u know Vijay comes as some Super hero who has this extra ordinary power of
  forseeing wat s gonna happen in future(don't know for how long directors r
  gonna stick to d same old stories,huh)After having such a story line,how can
  one expect to this album with roja,dilse kind a music huh plsss..ARR has
  perfectly done justice to his job by offering great foot tapping music..If u
  visit these vijay forums d music's reach is perfectly felt der..Der r still
  lots of places wer ppl don't even know if der existed a movie Uyire,for
  those ppl Rahman had to do some music and he has done with style..so plss
  before u compare,do it with stuff like God Father,parashuram,New no
  issues..For me ATM is d best commercial movie given by our Boss..
 
  2.No Remixes pls!!Not this director pls!!
  Utter nonsense!!ARR himself doesn't like remixes tat v know
  but wen d story requires it he has to do it..Tats wat is required of a MD
  wen u score a music for a movie..and god tat ponmagal song doesn't deserve
  to b criticized so much guys,pls give it some time...now comes d axe on d
  directors..d same set of ppl wer crying few yrs bak tat rahman is not doing
  music in tamil and now wen he does it he s being criticized..if u think
  maniratnam and shankar can alone bring d best out of our boss,v ll have to
  wait an entire year for one rahman album..Guys many ppl like me hardly
  understand hindi,for me an album by ARR in tamil is like a festival time..so
  pls I need Rahman to compose more of tamil songs for tat albums like ATM r a
  real answer guys..
 
  3.Early Reviews!!
  One thing I hate in this forum is ppl queing up to give in
  der reviews as soon a album is released..Even b4 I cud grab a cd for myself
  I saw lots of reviews both positive ones and negative ones..many wud just go
  by wat u guys say and think its not even worth getting d cd..is this wat v r
  here for???If u dint like it wait give it some time and den start posting in
  ur views,pl this is my very very sincere request…
 
  4.Too much of analysation!!
  I don't know anything in music,don't know wat u guys r
  talking most of d time..But d fact tat v r all his fans is wat v r here
  for..my sincere advice to lots of music pundits here is don't analyse an
  album like ATM with all ur extraordinary skills in music,it ll surely b a
  letdown..just forget everything and enjoy and I am sure u ll love it
  immediately..
 
  5.D so called Reviews!!
  the Rahman touch is missing
  todays is a sad day for rahman fans
  this reminds me of tat song
  Guys pls give it a break..Its so disgusting wen someone in d name of a
  fan questions Rahman's capabilities..If u dint like it put it in a way tat
  doesn't hurt fans like me ok..say u feel it s like tat and not general
  statements like d above ones..
 
  6.My take on ATM!!
  Finally,for me ATM is just a fabulous album..its bin quite
  sometime tat I ve liked an entire album but ATM has made me feel it..Its
  like yuvi 6 sixers for me..wow valayapathi,merlin menroa,ella pugazhum just
  bowled me over..According to me this album is well above Godfather and can
  equally place it near shivaji..
 
  We all know RahulDravid is a technically brilliant batsman,
  occasionally he plays a dhoni kind of innings according to d NEED OF D
  HOUR,does tat by any way question Dravid's technical brilliance??its very
  similar with our boss too..V know his brilliance,occasionally movies like
  this shows our boss' versatility..so plsss don't make absurd remarks
  based on ur opinions in public forums like this..Enjoy ATM guys and lets
  keep waiting for Jodha

  First things first: ARR is doing re-recording/BGM for ATM. It's
 confirmed
  from reliable sources. Don't keep on spreading rumors. Rather, start
  spreading this information.
 
  Understand the reality: You cannot have ATM songs in a movie like
 Boys and
  the vice versa is also not possible. ARR has come up with
 some working
  numbers to suit the image of a hero who has the potential to hit
 deep. So,
  free your mind and enjoy the songs given by the musical genius.
 
  A bit of history- The lesson learnt: Till 2001, if an ARR song
 doesn't catch
  me instantly, I used to keep rambling like many in this group (!). I
  remember how bad I felt about mudhalvan songs initally. Later I
 realized how
  those songs grew in me. Similar case happened with Alaipayuthey. I
 never
  liked yaaro yaarodi, evano oruvan. But later, I realized how ARRs
 song
  create a swinging shift thereby making someone to rethink what
 he/she has
  thought about it initially. Okay there you go! That's ARR for you.
 I made
  something firm in me. i.e. Not to take any quick decisions for ARR
 albums.
  This strategy has worked great for me. For example, I never liked
 tu bin and
  lukka chuppi from RDB initially but I believed that ARR's song will
 grow in
  me. Later I felt that lukka chuppi is a gem of a song and tu bin
 bataye a
  golden gift from ARR.
 
  Bottom line: Accept ARRs songs as it comes and it will definitely
 strike
  gold in you simply because, music from ARR is not a result of ARRs
 work but
  ARRs blood. A man who has dedicated his life to music and a man who
 has the
  courage to experiment new sounds and genre of music. A simple
 example: When
  did rap become famous in regional movies? Only after ARR bought rap
 stuff in
  alai payuthe.
 
  Okay, lets dive into the subject of this mail.
 
  ATM Review:
 
  After Laggan, all songs in an ARR album have caught me instantly
 only in ATM
  i.e. m hearing all songs without skipping from day 1.
 
  My pick of the album: Merlyn Monroe (just a shade sweeter than all
 the other
  magnificent songs in the album)
 
  Album rating: 10/10.
 
  Bottomline: A versatile Rahman in show. ARR makes music sound easy
 but it is
  not easy. ATM has a bunch of complex compositions. Kudos to all
 lyricists.
 
  *Ellapugazhum*
 
  Brilliance of ARR
 
  ARR's voice and rendition; Great and mesmerizing. ARR adds life to
 the song
 
  The use of electric guitar - that's ARR for you
 
  Magnificent use of chords that pump the adrenalin (sample 4:02 -
 4:10)
 
  The way the song ends.. Scintillating!
 
  Reverberating chiming section throughout the song - ARRs mind in
 play
 
  Constant energy-sprinkling percussion which sounds great in 5.1
 
  *Merlyn Monroe*
 
  Brilliance of ARR
 
  Stylish Stylish Stylish
 
  The way the song begins is too sexy. LOVE IT!
 
  Notice that there are *NO* percussion in this song. Just the
 chiming sounds
  with bass guitar does the trick for the song. That's ARR for you
 again
 
  Amazing additional programming. High-tech sounds embellish the song
 
  Casual rendition by male singer and female voice getting quite
 squeaky..
  This balance has worked out great in the song
 
  Mesmerizing male and female alaaps. A
 
  complex song to execute.
 
  *Valayapatti*
 
  Brilliance of ARR
 
  Check out different layers in the song. All unique but very tough
 to compose
 
  Raaga and corresponding alaap. Just magnificient! Come on, could
 anyone
  merge both folk and carnatic genre?? Only ARR can handle it so
  professionally. Result: A magnificient song like this
 
  Use of nathaswaram.. ARR makes even that instrument sound so
 pleasant to
  hear.
 
  The connection between both charanam and pallavi is too good. Folk +
  carnatic + percussion alaap (dheem thanaku dheem)
 
  Use of bass guitar and making it play all along when the raaga
 alaap is
  rendered. This is vintage ARR.
 
  Use of Naresh and madhumitha is commendable
 
  *Kelamal*
 
  Brilliance of ARR
 
  Only ARR can handle melodies like munbae vaa, kaatril(from GF) and
 a song
  like this.. All are melodies but fall info different percussion
 genre. Just
  awesome.
 
  Ketu rasitha padal ondrai bit is amazing and mesmerizing. An
 alternate
  version of it in the middle of the song is just scintillating
 
  Singer selection has again worked out beautifully for ARR.
 
  The song decorated by various versions of chiming sounds
 
  Kokilam Kokilam bit is very much hummable.
 
  A simple percussion handled so professionally to suit a melody like
 this
 
  *Maduraiku*
 
  Brilliance of ARR
 
  Again, the instrument

Heat of the beat, what's the big deal? even bol sajni from DSKR resembled to
Ghanan Ghanan.. all u have is 52 drums out of which sounds have to arise..
when we start prick on nano level things it becomes unfair.. infact, if not
a significant difference between yodha theme and JA bit, there is definitely
a percussion-usage difference. yodha was synthesized but JA bit gives an
archaic feel. that's all.

  reviews out there...this album is an INSTANT CLASSICthose who
  don't go liek it can go listen to Harris, Priotam, Yuvan,. SEL,
  Himesh..etc. .those guys do come up with good stuff time to time..but
  they never EVOLVE the way Rahman does...Rahman tries something new on

  albums.,..you can't repeat what you were doing in the late '90s
  nowwith THREE solid soundtracks this year (Guru, Sivaji, and ATM
  (possibly the best out of the 3))we should celebrate the musical
  master more than ever!1

  1. Ponmugal Vandhal 8.5/10

  i'm not going to get into who should be credited for the
  remix..etc.. ...the rap is awesome...the beat and tune go really
  well...ASLAM IS ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS OUT THERE!!!

  2. Maduraka Pondadadi 10/10

  great village songs...ARR surpasses his earlier pure village songs...i
  like the variations in the later verses (esp. the dhum, dhum
  parts by the husky voiced female singer...in the same league as the
  wonderful kama karayil from Varalaru (a criminally underrated album)

  3. Valayapatti 10/10

  one of the most experiemental songs i've heard...folk and
  carnatic!!!. ..mixed with many, many other genres in between...it
  sounds bizzare at times but that's a very good thing..ARR is expanding
  out musical horizons

  4. Kelamal 10/10

  the vocals are fantastic... it's one of those epic romantic tracks and
  has a club feel as wellreally powerful stuff

  5. nee marilyn monroe 10/10

  has a funk groove that hasn't been heard in indian music...pretty much
  a terrific rb song

  6. elapoguzhum 8.5/10

  i don't liek this one as much as eveyrone else..i still like it a lot
  thoughhas a similar vibe to the titile track from Ah Aah...but it
  evolves into something else as it goes on..i love the epic horns in
  the middle..and the last minute or so are jaw-droppingly good and take
  the song in unexpected directions

  Overall: 9.5/10

  A.R. Rahman is all set to perform live in the capital on November 17 and this 
is his long cherished dream-come-true. I wanted to perform in Delhi but 
somehow things didnt work out. But now with the help of Fever 104 FM, Ive got 
t he chance to perform and jive with the Delhi audience, said Rahman. 
   
  
  The concert will take place after 35 days of talent hunt. Ten singers will be 
short-listed for the semi final round. The lucky five, who will clear the semi 
final round, will be sent to Chennai to meet the maestro. He will choose one of 
them to perform on stage with him. 
   
  At present, Rahman is busy with international assignments. He has composed 
music for Shekhar Kapurs Elizabeth - The Golden Age, which was released on 
October 12. 
   
  In the film, he worked alongside renowned composer Craig Armstrong.

  Friday Review
   
  Online edition of India's National Newspaper
Friday, Oct 26, 2007 
   
  Down music lane 
  
  
  P.K. AJITH KUMAR 
   
  
  
  
  Veteran composer V. Dakshinamoorthys hallmark is the classic touch 
he added to all his evergreen songs. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
 Photo: S. Ramesh Kurup 
 
Living legend: V. Dakshinamoorthy.  
  
  
  
  When P. Leela, who was supposed to sing a lullaby for the 1960 film, 
Seetha, failed to turn up, music director V. Dakshinamoorthy decided to 
introduce a new voice to Malayalam film music. Her name was P. Susheela, but 
she nearly gave up on that song. I cant sing this song, the pronunciation is 
difficult, she told the composer. He didnt pay heed to her. 
   
  The song was Pattu padiyurakkam njan, which remains a popular lullaby in 
Malayalam cinema, nearly five decades on. Making Susheelas golden voice heard 
in Malayalam is one of the many contributions of Dakshinamoorthy.
   
  I had heard Susheela sing some Tamil songs and was impressed by her voice 
and rendering; I wanted her to sing that song in Seetha, but she had a 
problem with the Malayalam letter na. She just couldnt get it right. I told 
her that she should touch her teeth with the tip of her tongue. She got it 
right finally, and we recorded the song the following day, says 
Dakshinamoorthy, who was in Kozhikode recently for a Carnatic vocal recital at 
the Navaratri festival.
   
  Full of anecdotes 
   
  
  
  
  He may be 88, but he can still regale you with many such anecdotes. It is 
the first tune that comes to my mind as I go through the lyrics of a song that 
I retain in the final composition; first impression is the best impression 
after all. And usually, the producer and the director agree with my choice too. 
But when I composed Kakkakuyile cholloo, for the film Bharthavu, the 
producer T.E. Vasudevan wasnt happy with it and there was no consensus. So I 
composed another tune and it was decided that we should vote as they were five 
of us at that time. My original tune won by a huge margin, he chuckles.
   
  This living legend in Malayalam film music says he never wanted to impose 
music on the lyrics. What I did was just apply music lightly on the lines.
  When he did that, we got immortal songs. He took a two-decade break after 
composing Vathil pazhuthilooden (Idanazhiyil Oru Kalocha). Recently he 
recorded three songs for a film titled Mizhikal Sakshi. 
   
  It was with Sreekumaran Thampi that Dakshinamoorthy worked with in the 
highest number of films. They formed one of the most fruitful combinations in 
Malayalam film music, like Vayalar-Devarajan and P. Bhaskaran-Baburaj.
  Though I was just 26 when I began associating with Dakshinamoorthy, for 
Cochin Express, I felt comfortable working with him. Our first hit together 
was Hrudaya sarassile I would say Dakshinamoorthy was the first composer who 
brought pure Carnatic music to Malayalam cinema. He knew precisely how to use 
classical music in Malayalam light music, says Thampi.
   
  If one looks at Dakshinamoorthys compositions, Kharaharapriya would seem a 
favourite raga. He explains why: When I found that Uthara swayamvaram was 
loved by people, I thought I would as well tune one song in Kharaharapriya in 
all my films, he says with a smile.
   
  The Chennai-based composer, who would be visiting Kerala more often as he is 
one of the judges of a classical music talent hunt on television, is surprised 
that only a few of his songs are heard in ganamelas. Maybe because they cant 
sing some of my compositions for K.J. Yesudas, like Kattile pazhmulam I have 
seen only Madhu Balakrishnan attempt that song, says the man who made his 
debut in Malayalam cinema, with Nalla Thanka, way back in 1950.
   
  Unforgettable - Some of Dakshinamoorthys unforgettable melodies: 
  
  Ponveyil manikacha (Nrithashala)
  Swapnangal (Kavyamela)
  Hrudaya sarassile (Padunna Puzha)
  Uthara swayamvaram (Danger Buscuit)
  Kattile pazhmulam (Vilakku Vangiya Veena)
  Shranthamambaram (Abhayam)
  En mandahasam (Udayam)

Re: [arr] HT Brunch cover story on ARR-Minnale

Dude ! both Minnale  Fanaa are his songs. Why HT did not clarify properly ? 
The interview part is good. Thanks for this. I also agree to others views, it 
is very silly to force ARR to give artificial poses like actors  models. :( 
ARR must not oblige to such not-so-good expressions. He can very well say no to 
these things. If needed they can take some natural poses that suits the 
situation. I think close associates  friends of ARR must suggest this to him 
soon and prevent in future. He should refuse to such poses. Moreover for a most 
regarded MD these things may trigger comments by critics  masses later, asking 
him why he is allowing so ? Hope ARR can consider this strictly.

  What irks me however are the poses that the photographer has had ARR
 do. The regular pics are fine. It's just the 'Titanic' pose, and the
 reclining-in-deep-thought pose in his studio that are annoying. I do
 recognize that it's simply awesome to capture an artist in his moment
 of peace or excitement or elation. But it's downright insulting to set
 up all this with a fake moment. Is there anyone who thinks those two
 pictures were ARR's own genuine actions/pose?
  
  ARR being such a humble and down-to-earth person went out of the way
 to oblige them. The interview even mentions his discomfort in posing
 for the pictures. I'm glad ARR stood his ground in not granting them
 what they wanted in the picture with his wife. It's a shame that for
 all the great nuggets in the article it had to be marred by those
 artificial poses. Don't these fellows have anything like a

A.R.Rahman in a Lollywood flick

Who doesn't know the famous composer A.R. Rahman? Yes, he is the one 
who rendered music for the best of Bollywood movies. Whether the film 
makes business or not, his songs are sure to create waves all over 
the world. Nah! We don't intend to bore you with stuff that you 
already know. Our actor/producer Humayun Saeed has hooked A.R. Rahman 
for his upcoming movie. The title of the film is still under 
consideration but the musical score is all set to fit in the movie. 
Great news for all the music lovers who want to see the Lollywood 
music flourish just as the pop music. Humayun Saeed has recently 
returned from Norway after selecting the locations of shooting and 
plans to finalise the cast soon. After the turnover of Khuda Ke Liye, 
Humayun Saeed is very optimistic about his movie and he ensures that 
his movie will compel a lot of people to take their families to the 
theatres. It's time to revive the culture of cinema in our country. 
Nice thoughts Humayun!

Take care.
