Re: [arr] Re: When I heard ARR for the first time !!!

[durba bhattacharjee]

It was 'Spirit of Unity Concerts for National Integration' airing every Sunday 
at 10 in the morning. I used to watch it religiously even before I heard Roja. 
I never cared to check the credit list at the end to see who composed the title 
music, though I used to like it very much. It was only after the 'roja 
experience' one day when the program started I thought that it must be by ARR. 
Then only I checked the credits at the end and came to know that it was by A. 
R. Rahman. As far as I can remember, he was not credited as 'Dileep Kumar'. 
Later probably they had felicitated him and included the footage also during 
the begining or ending credits.

[arr] 10th anniversary of Dil Se coming up

[Chord]

Probably the best album by ARR and probably never to be surpassed, one 
of the most evergreen albums in recent times, a complete album in 
every way possible, sheer genius and brilliance in every note and 
sound, remember back to June 1998 when you heard Dil Se for the first 
time.  I wasn't as big of an ARR fan then as I am now, so my first 
recollections of Dil Se are a bit foggy.  I would like to hear from 
all of you your first reactions to the music of Dil Se when it first 
released.  We can make anniversary posts for all of ARR's greatest 
albums, but I felt that Dil Se's music deserved special attention.  

Listened to Dil Se on my IPOD last night after a long time and I was 
completely mesmerized, totally tranced into a different world of 
beautiful melodies, haunting chords and rhythms, rich arrangements, 
soulful singing, just pure musical bliss. The sonic and music power of 
this album is just collossal.  Truly something "Godlike" about this 
soundtrack.  It never gets old.  No matter how many times I listen to 
Dil Se's music, it just never gets old or boring.  Some here may not 
agree that it's ARR's #1, but a soundtrack like this doesn't come 
along very often, if ever again.

Re: [arr] Query about Ujjaini - again!

[Fazil Anand]

I donno whether she has participated in Saregamapa 2005. But I am damn sure 
that she has participated as a part of the band (I don't remember the band name 
correctly!) in Ooh Lalala which was featured in Sun TV last year. It had ARR as 
the judge. Y I am saying this is bcoz I saw her sing along with Naresh Iyer in 
Vijay TV few days back. She had sung Valayappati Thavile from ATM. 

Also, I heard that in Farah Khan's next film Amanat Ali of Saregamapa Challenge 
2007 will sing under ARR's composition. I donno if its a rumour but I'm waiting 
to get a concrete news on it.
