Re: [arr] 'We must emulate the 60s style of working'
AR Rahman's up to new tricks, mainly some groovy numbers for Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, with a jazz themed title track, finds Rachel Fernandes The genius has done it again. AR Rahman has come out with yet another winner with his music for the soon-to-be-launched Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, the much talked about launch film of Aamir's nephew Imraan Khan. In the album, Rahman — no novice to singing his own songs — has sung the title track Tu Nole Main Boloon, a peppy jazz tune. A brilliant score accompanied by soft drums, saxophone and other instruments, the track can indeed be called the USP of the album. The other tracks too have a very vibrant and youthful feel to them and can be quite addictive then be it Kabhi Kahi Aditi belted by newcomer Rashid Ali or Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai sung out by Runa. The track Pappu Can't Dance has gone on to become a sort of a college rage. Then there is Kahin To sung by Rashid Ali and accompanied by Vasundara Das. A soft, romantic track with a very soothing feel to it, one can't but help wanting to play it on repeat mode. So is the musician making it a habit of singing his own songs? Well actually, it's the directors choice, they like my voice and hence, he says very matter of factly. The Aamir Khan-AR Rahman relationship goes back a long way with Rahman having done the music for many of Khan's films including Lagaan, Rang De Basanti and Mangal Panday. A name synonymous with good music, Rahman has catered to possibly every genre of Indian movies, be it period films like Jodhaa Akbar, youth centric movies like Rang De Basanti or even cult hits like Lagaan. Talking about how he has managed to sustain himself over such a long period, Rahman says, It's a nightmare sometimes, and adds, It's all about teamwork. The good part is I work with different teams and there are different vibrations. Rahman admits that the feeling of 'Oh my God! Such a big movie, how am I going to make the music for this one' is a recurring one for him. I guess that's why I am so spiritual, he says with a grin. We sit to work and something happens, whether good or bad. Thankfully, it's mostly been good, he explains. From Roja to Dil Se, Guru and now Jaane Tu ..., it's been a long journey spanning over a decade for this maestro, who is considered a genius in the Indian music industry. Shy and reclusive, not only has he wowed the Indian audience with his work, Rahman has Hollywood directors raving about his talent with his works like Bombay Dreams and Lord of the Rings. His message for the growing breed of young Indian music directors is to carve their own spots in the industry. Says Rahman, We should emulate the 60s style of working. There were many excellent music directors but they all co-existed in the industry while each of them maintained their own unique style of making music. It should be like that. http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Client.asp?Daily=TOIMlogin=defaultEnter=trueSkin=TOIGZ=TAW=1213595225343 Thanks to SHOUVIK ( ORKUT ) On Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 10:38 AM, nivensamy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: WOW, Isn't this a good reason to be in this group.

[arr] S.J Surya's plans
I will be doing the Tamil remake of Puli once Im done with NMV and the Telugu version, he says. Cop Puli, it seems, will be the story of a Gandhi in Khakee or a Christ in Khakee. The other movies of his tenyear- plans include Isai, a musical thriller, and an animation movie for kids. Theres novelty in the theme of Isai with it being a musical thriller. Meanwhile, the animation movie will have me feature along with animals. While he hasnt finalised on the cast for his movies, one person will constantly accompany him: AR Rahman. Weve worked together in Ah Aah and New and Im glad with what he gave my movies.

i too noticed this. With all due respect to KJ Sivakumar, still the name H Sridhar makes a follower like me more elited to see it in the covers. Hope he does the engg for the movie.

[arr] Yuvraj belongs to two people , Rahman and Subhash Ghai
But yes, music plays a very important part in my creativity. My early films like Kalicharan started as a drama and then the music was added on. My latest directorial venture Black White was also a drama with music in it. AR Rahman who worked earlier with Subhash Ghai in Taal and a part of Kisna is back in Yuvraj. Rahman and I have been in touch constantly. We jell really well. Like Taal, Yuvraj is based on music. I've told Rahman, Yuvraj belongs to two people, Rahman and Subhash Ghai, in that order. All the main characters are musicians in Yuvraj. On Yuvraj : Subhash says Yuvraj is about the arrogance of contemporary youth. You want to know who's the Yuvraj? Salman, Anil Kapoor or Zayed Khan? If I reveal that who would want to see my film? Yuvraj is about the over-confidence of today's youth. Every one wants to be a rock star, regardless of whether they have the morals to go with the appellation. http://www.santabanta.com/cinema.asp?pid=20842

[arr] Re: The Comeback Kid - Ramgopal Verma
Yes the title song Muqabala Muqabala really took the whole nation to storm, I have seen this personally in Pakistan. Those were my school days, the song always brings back lots of sweet memories from that period. I remember having a cassette with up to 8-9 different version of the song, including two originals and the rest lifted by Bollywood composers. Such a huge phenomena was the song. Besides the Urvashi song from the same movie, my next experience of ARR was (may not be in right order) songs Chandarlikha and Pyar kabhi na tode ge from Chor Chor, Milgaye milgaye from Love Birds, Roop suhana lagta hai (Anu Malik's rearranged version) from Gentleman, Khili chandni from Priyanka and Kehna hi kya and Ek ho gaye from Bombay. All these were dubbed movies. Only then there came Rangeela. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, V S Rawat [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hmm, yeah, technically. But as you rightly said that ARR was a well established name in Bollywood Hindi music by that time. Roza did well in connoisseur circles and even though its Rukmini was found quite catchy, it was not the fav of street masses. But street masses did rally behind Humse Hai Muqabla's title song that got copied by Rajesh Roshan and Anu Malik that can be taken an indication of its popularity and I had even seen a full cassette titled muqabla muqabla which had various copied and remixed versions of the song. Hindi Film bombed badly so it didn't help ARR and the song. In fact, there was so much confusion about it that the masses could never really identify which song is ARR's original, so ARR got identified with all muqabla songs, even the copied once. Divine justice. :-) Thus, I think no special credit needs to be given to RGV for taking ARR in Rangeela. RGV rather cashed on on ARR's popularity. And, Rangeela also has Babu Lo Chal Gaya dubbed from Super Police (guess that was the name). So, original hindi music wud also not go fully in Rangeela. Though I happily concede that Rangeela was a good movie. -- Rawat On 6/15/2008 10:09 PM India Time, _Vikram Kumar_ wrote: Technically he did introduce A.R.

[arr] Sakkarakatti from 11. July
The much awaited audio release of the movie `Sakkarakatti' with music by one of India's finest talents A. R. Rahman is slated to take place on the 11th of July. The Tamil film industry is abuzz with excitement with the fact that extensive graphics are being created for the movie's song sequences, which is literally running close to a year. Reports also suggest that a crore of rupees have been spent for picturizing just one song. The intensity and effectiveness of the songs composed by A. R. Rahman is said to be the reason behind the filmmakers' going through such an effort. Another interesting piece of information is that A. R. Rahman has hummed for a song titled 'Maruthanni'. It can be recalled that all the songs that have the musician's humming have gone on to be huge chart toppers like 'Chinna Chinna Aasai' in 'Roja' and 'Sanda Kozhi' in 'Ayutha Ezhuthu'. `Sakkarakatti' has Santhanu, son of writer, director, actor K. Bhagyaraj as hero and yet another film personality's (Kalaipuli Dhanu) son Kalaprabhu as the director. Ishita and Vedhika play the leading ladies and the film is produced by Kalaipuli Dhanu.

Hi guys, Today while I was listening to kwaja mere kwaja, i got a feeling that we being a core fan of ARR and most of us are in mid 20s and 30s will definelty show our future generation what is real life and how to lead a life. If we spread this to our younger generation and at one point of time there will not be any violance in earth nor there will be in any corruption. My dream is in year 2050 every person in earth should be the ARR fan and lead a life of his. Gopal/Vijay please tell our boss to write a book(Autobiography) actually we know that he doesnt have time to even think about that, but if that happens then I am sure how amny ever copy you print it would be sold out.

[arr] Top Ten albums of the week - JTYJN still tops
http://www.indiafm.com/features/2008/06/16/3986/index.html Top Ten albums of the week By Joginder Tuteja, June 16, 2008 - 10:44 IST Rank Last week Film Plusses Minuses 1 1 Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa For second straight week in succession, it's the magic of 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa' that continues to hold fort. The title song has finally come on air and yet again the combination of music and visuals is doing the trick! Newcomer Imraan Khan would indeed be on cloud nine to have got such a great kick start to his career. Now it's time for his act to talk for itself once the film releases on 4th July. None 2 2 Jannat JTYJN may have overtaken it but 'Jannat' still continues to give tough competition at the top. Each and every song in the film has worked and 'Jannat' has turned into one of the biggest musical successes for Bhatts after 'Murder'. Wish Kamran Ahmed's version of 'Lambi Judai' was a part of the film as well! 3 3 Race There are no changes in the Top-3 of the charts as Pritam has his 'Race' following 'Jannat' close behind. Even though the film has more or less ended it's theatrical run while the DVD sales have been steady, the music hasn't lost it's charm till date! Looks like 'Race' would rule longer than even it's makers would have expected. None 4 4 Khuda Kay Liye 'Khuda Kay Liye' deserves to break into Top-3! The music as well as the film's popularity has only been showing a continuous escalation week after week. The music video of 'Bandya' has finally arrived on the music channels and that should further add on to the album's popularity! None 5 8 Love Story 2050 The only album in the charts to have shown a really good jump, 'Love Story 2050' finds itself in Top-5 within a fortnight of it's release. Anu Malik gets a successful album to his name after ages. 'Sach Kehna', the best dance number from the album, has been revealed a little too early. It may have benefited 'Love Story 2050' if released around the time of film's release. 6 5 Ada It is Rahman's name which has resulted in 'Ada' to have done so well in spite of neither the music company nor the makers making any efforts whatsoever to promote the album. One wonders for how long the album would be able to sustain without any promotion. Once hardcore Rahman fans have given it a listen, how would the album reach out to rest of the music lovers? 7 7 Haal E Dil Staying on at the same position where it was in the week gone by, 'Haal E Dil' doesn't budge from it's #7 spot. Though there isn't much escalation expected this week as well, one looks forward to how the album progresses once the film hits the screen this Friday. After all it is still doing the best business when compared to other movies which are releasing on the same day i.e. 'De Taali' and 'Khushboo'. The film primarily stars newcomers which would mean that the music of 'Haal E Dil' would take time to make it's presence felt in a big way 8 6 Tashan The way 'Tashan' is going downward and 'De Taali' isn't making much progress, it appears that Vishal-Shekhar would have to live with a zero presence in the charts for a little while. There is good hope though from the soundtrack of 'Bachna Ae Haseenon' which is expected to arrive in a month from now! YRF would have to re-look at their 'minimal promotion' of music strategy, especially after the reception to music of 'Tashan' 9 10 Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic YRF now has two of it's albums at the bottom of the charts. 'Lazy Lamhe' was expected to do the trick but that too has merely helped the album to move up by a solitary spot! 'Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic' has just been a 'thoda sa' success. Period. One waits to see if the film's release turns it's fortunes by any means. 10 9 Jodhaa Akbar It is going to be farewell time for 'Jodhaa Akbar any moment. It has been a good 5 month journey for this Rahman score and it would be interesting to see if 'Jodhaa Akbar' manages to complete silver jubilee in the charts.

Re: [arr] Sangamam
I got to listen to the songs of Sangamam after seeing the thread here. I think its a great musical movie. A movie which has lovely folk songs with very racy beats. Its a lovely blend of classical music and folk music. Songs like 'Margazhi Thingal which starts off with the famous Thirupavai has been sung beautifully to the raga of Sindhu Bhairavi. The transcendtal strumming of the tanpoora transfers one to an ethereal world. the song that impressed me most was 'Sowkiamma' sung by nityashri and this song shows one the nuances of the raga ' Maand'. Though I am not competent enough to comment on this, I think Maand is a hindustani raag and finds its place in carnatic music too as does the raga 'Desh'. ARR has shown his prowess in the field of carnatic classical music and am sure this one song is enough to make his critics eat a humble pie. The other song Varahanadhi Karai I think is using the raga Yemen Kalyani as its base though its a mix of folk music. But then again ARR has done it again bringing in fine blend of folk music and classical music. All in all its a great album I think.

Of course, although fate played its role, it was Smita's outstanding performance as a participant in a talent show on a Telugu television channel in 1997 that captured the attention of music fans all over South India and the show's anchor, S P Balasubramaniam. Her dream is to work with A R Rehman one day but until then she's busy rocking her way to the top, and with SMITA, she is sure to blow away the competition. http://www.hindisong.com/Profile/Profile.asp?ContentID=1184cID=2249 regards, Vithur HELP EVER; HURT NEVER; LOVE ALL; SERVE ALL
[arr] A musical romantic comedy introducing Aamir Khan's nephew
Say hello to your typical Bollywood love story filled with joys and sorrows, happiness and heartbreak, laughter and songs ... and much more! Jai Singh Rathore aka Rats (played by Imran Khan - Amir Khan's nephew) and Aditi Mahant aka Meow (played by Genelia D'Souza - previously seen in Masti and also to be seen soon in Mere Baap Pehle Aap) are two characters who couldn't be more different. Jai is the most non-violent Rajput you'll meet and is the only one who can calm down the catty, violent and passionate Aditi. In the package deal comes Rotlu - who secretly yearns for Aditi, Bombs - who's heart only calls out for Jai, Jiggy - who, scarily enough, applies golden mascara to his hair and Shahleen - well, she's the only normal one. But it's a known fact that opposites attract and while Aditi and Jai can't stand each other, parents, friends, and everybody else can see that together they make the perfect couple (in one of those impossible to understand ways) and let's just hope its not too long before they figure it out, too. Mix all of that with some strange dreams of a desert warrior, two Rajput 'cowboys', a momentous night in jail and a climatic airport ride, and you have yourself a musical romantic comedy! With the genius of A.R. Rahman behind the catchy soundtrack, who already has the tune of 'Hey Aditi' stuck in every youngster's head, and the script written and directed by Abbas Tyrewala, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na seems promising. Aamir Khan, who's producing this film, has thrown his weight behind it and is going all out to promote his nephew's debut venture. Whether or not it lives up to it pre-release hype, we'll find out for sure when it releases on July 4. http://www.masala.com/3677-jaane-tu-ya-jaane-na -- regards, Vithur HELP EVER; HURT NEVER; LOVE ALL; SERVE ALL

Re: [arr] Ada promo (Hawa Sun Hawa)
I am disappointed with the promos as well. I mean you can be arty but these promos are simply boring. You can't just have the lead cast lip sync the songs in the same position clsoing up on their faces. The extended promo of the title track is just not appealing.

Re: [arr] World without Violence
yes vithur, our boss teaches us many things in our life through his interviews. There is a saying in tamil called Atchaya pathiram, which means the content never reduces at all from the vessel how many ever times u try to empty the same. Similarly Rahman also has such a quality, when u try to dig more and more from him you will get more and more in life. There is lot more to learn from him. Vithur, as you said we should stop fighting. First of all this is not a group, its full of various individuals. We should all have a common thinking and we should have a common goal, we should try to help each other in that process. Only then we can called as a group, this is what our boss wants too. lets try to understand the basic idea(if not the core) of what rahman has offered to this world both in terms of music and life and follow the same.

[arr] How he does BGMs ???
Dear Rahmaniacs, I am a MANIAC of ARR 's BGMs... Of course, his songs too... But the way he does the BGMs, literally drive me crazy. whenever I watch a movie I always pay attention to the BGMs more than the songs. The way ARR does BGMs is really really amazing. He uses the right tune at the right place. and comes out with totally new tunes, new sounds, new hummings, for situations, which even other MDs cannot think of.. 1. Does ARR watch the entire movie for giving his BGMs ?? 2. How does he patiently watch the entire movie . esp films like NEW, Ah AAH...( LOL) 3. Does he watch the movie soundless, and frames his mind for composing BGMs.. and then summons singers, Guitarists, and other instrument players If anyone here can visualise how he does BGMs, pls let me know I would love ARR to release BGMs for all his movies. Thanks... Does anyone here have Love Birds , Mr. Romeo, Karuthamma, Kizhakku Cheemayile, BGMs ?? -- regards, Vithur HELP EVER; HURT NEVER; LOVE ALL; SERVE ALL

[arr] One Song; Many Emotions
One of the greatest tributes to A.R.Rahman is his ability to match the emotions of the charactor of the songs. It is one true gift non of the other indian composers have failed to master. Of recent, Rahman's albums have the visual effect - songs growing in us after we see the images. Take Kannathil Muthamittaal for example, Nenjil jil jil didn't sound great (at least to me) on a few hearing but upon seeing the movie it grew to become the best of the album for the sheer emotion it portrayed of a father trying to calm a troubled daughter. But Rahman does not stop here, he takes his brilliance to a further level. He has created songs which show multiple albums, from happiness to sadness! Here are a few songs which have multiple emotions, and guys pls add whatever you think is appropriate. 1) I'm sorry (one 2 Ka 4)- starts slowly and then SRK tries his very best to imress the kids and its funny and shows a happy mood. suddenly the tempo changes (btw, i dont understand hindi) and SRK is all in sorry mood and the song itself becomes slow and it gives goosebumps to me everytime i hear that part. Then the tempo changes again as his sidekick and Juli show emotions that he shouldnt worry and in line the kids pardon him with it's ok! - imagine a song starting with i'm sorry and ending with it's ok!. Out of this world stuff. 2) Mitwa (Lagaan) - What can we say about the last part where Gawri's father comes out to join the team. (If you didnt get Goosebumps listening to that part then truly you are not a music fan). Song was all about getting people in the right mood to fight and everyone was looking away, and then Sukwinder Sing gives such a grand emotional introduction. Out of this world again! Guys pls add more songs with show many emotions in one song!!

I think its a great musical movie. A movie which has lovely folk songs with very racy beats. Its a lovely blend of classical music and folk music. Songs like 'Margazhi Thingal which starts off with the famous Thirupavai has been sung beautifully to the raga of Sindhu Bhairavi. The transcendtal strumming of the tanpoora transfers one to an ethereal world. the song that impressed me most was 'Sowkiamma' sung by nityashri and this song shows one the nuances of the raga ' Maand'. Though I am not competent enough to comment on this, I think Maand is a hindustani raag and finds its place in carnatic music too as does the raga 'Desh'. ARR has shown his prowess in the field of carnatic classical music and am sure this one song is enough to make his critics eat a humble pie. The other song Varahanadhi Karai I think is using the raga Yemen Kalyani as its base though its a mix of folk music. But then again ARR has done it again bringing in fine blend of folk music and classical music. All in all its a great album I think.

Listen to this. This is a stunning effort from Rahman. It was released at time when Rahman was at peak of his career and people were criticizing Rahman that he cant do classical music. Then came Sangamam , as usual, Rahman let his work do all the talking. This album is an absolute masterpiece. A album I would cherish for the rest of life. Just cant get over this album..Its amazing. I can just thank Rahman for filling our lives with happiness and joys with his music. Thank You Sir !!!
Re: [arr] Sangamam
Sangamam, IMHO, is a masterpiece. This album sounds always fresh, even on repeat mode ;-). Varaga Nadhi is Mahadevan at his best, I read that he worked with rahman overnight. Rahman capitalised on mahadevan's voice and no doubt he shows his mastery in composing carnatic classics.

I think its a great musical movie. A movie which has lovely folk songs with very racy beats. Its a lovely blend of classical music and folk music. Songs like 'Margazhi Thingal which starts off with the famous Thirupavai has been sung beautifully to the raga of Sindhu Bhairavi. The transcendtal strumming of the tanpoora transfers one to an ethereal world. the song that impressed me most was 'Sowkiamma' sung by nityashri and this song shows one the nuances of the raga ' Maand'. Though I am not competent enough to comment on this, I think Maand is a hindustani raag and finds its place in carnatic music too as does the raga 'Desh'. ARR has shown his prowess in the field of carnatic classical music and am sure this one song is enough to make his critics eat a humble pie. The other song Varahanadhi Karai I think is using the raga Yemen Kalyani as its base though its a mix of folk music. But then again ARR has done it again bringing in fine blend of folk music and classical music. All in all its a great album I think.

Re: [arr] Top Ten albums of the week - JTYJN still tops
see the comment of jogider abt the promotion of ada...They(big music) are spoiling a master piece.'Garlet in monkey's hand' what else to say?

The title song has finally come on air and yet again the combination of music and visuals is doing the trick! Newcomer Imraan Khan would indeed be on cloud nine to have got such a great kick start to his career. Now it's time for his act to talk for itself once the film releases on 4th July. None 2 2 Jannat JTYJN may have overtaken it but 'Jannat' still continues to give tough competition at the top. Each and every song in the film has worked and 'Jannat' has turned into one of the biggest musical successes for Bhatts after 'Murder'. Wish Kamran Ahmed's version of 'Lambi Judai' was a part of the film as well! 3 3 Race There are no changes in the Top-3 of the charts as Pritam has his 'Race' following 'Jannat' close behind. Even though the film has more or less ended it's theatrical run while the DVD sales have been steady, the music hasn't lost it's charm till date! Looks like 'Race' would rule longer than even it's makers would have expected. None 4 4 Khuda Kay Liye 'Khuda Kay Liye' deserves to break into Top-3! The music as well as the film's popularity has only been showing a continuous escalation week after week. The music video of 'Bandya' has finally arrived on the music channels and that should further add on to the album's popularity! None 5 8 Love Story 2050 The only album in the charts to have shown a really good jump, 'Love Story 2050' finds itself in Top-5 within a fortnight of it's release. Anu Malik gets a successful album to his name after ages. 'Sach Kehna', the best dance number from the album, has been revealed a little too early. It may have benefited 'Love Story 2050' if released around the time of film's release. 6 5 Ada It is Rahman's name which has resulted in 'Ada' to have done so well in spite of neither the music company nor the makers making any efforts whatsoever to promote the album. One wonders for how long the album would be able to sustain without any promotion. Once hardcore Rahman fans have given it a listen, how would the album reach out to rest of the music lovers? 7 7 Haal E Dil Staying on at the same position where it was in the week gone by, 'Haal E Dil' doesn't budge from it's #7 spot. Though there isn't much escalation expected this week as well, one looks forward to how the album progresses once the film hits the screen this Friday. After all it is still doing the best business when compared to other movies which are releasing on the same day i.e. 'De Taali' and 'Khushboo'. The film primarily stars newcomers which would mean that the music of 'Haal E Dil' would take time to make it's presence felt in a big way 8 6 Tashan The way 'Tashan' is going downward and 'De Taali' isn't making much progress, it appears that Vishal-Shekhar would have to live with a zero presence in the charts for a little while. There is good hope though from the soundtrack of 'Bachna Ae Haseenon' which is expected to arrive in a month from now! YRF would have to re-look at their 'minimal promotion' of music strategy, especially after the reception to music of 'Tashan' 9 10 Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic YRF now has two of it's albums at the bottom of the charts. 'Lazy Lamhe' was expected to do the trick but that too has merely helped the album to move up by a solitary spot! 'Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic' has just been a 'thoda sa' success. Period. One waits to see if the film's release turns it's fortunes by any means. 10 9 Jodhaa Akbar It is going to be farewell time for 'Jodhaa Akbar any moment. It has been a good 5 month journey for this Rahman score and it would be interesting to see if 'Jodhaa Akbar' manages to complete silver jubilee in the charts.

Re: [arr] How he does BGMs ???
Good Topic Bro. How does he patiently watch the entire movie . esp films like NEW, Ah AAH... BIG LOL !! :D Sometimes I feel like ARR's the 'biggest day dreamer' ! :P Cuz his Background Scores touch our lives , each and every moment... Love Romance - Alaipayuthey Sadness (love failure)- Sillunu Oru Kaadhal Nostalgia - Swades Patriotism - Roja , LOBS , Lagaan , etc etc Hang out - RDB Party - Yuva ( Vivek Oberoi's BGM ) Revolution - Yuva ( Ajay's ) , RDB Family (mother's love) - Kannathil Muthamittaal Terrorism - Dil se.. etc etc and the list goes on.

[arr] A thought ...(or thoughts)
Just some thoughts that struck me today listening to some ARR music today. I am sure many in this group would share the same as to how tough it is not just to meet expectations but to beat them hollow - in today's informed age and this man has been doing so for well over 16 years now. In the good ol days - there weren't too many ways you would hear about the making of the music, the movie or inside scoops until the movie actually released or the songs started playing on Radio and TV. Cut to today's world where by the time a music album releases -and specially an ARR album - there are just so many expectations, just so many speculations, just so many rumors, just so many inside scoops and so many crew members speaking about it. Add to that we have song snippets getting leaked and sometimes even MD's releasing snippets (for remixes et al) - there is very little left for imagination (a bit of an exaggeration ..but I guess u get the point). And ARR continues to beat them all ..surprise them all and leaves everyone amazed each and every time. ARR's competition is only himself ...with each album ..with each song ..he has to outgrow himself ..he has to beat himself and he has to gift us listeners with gems that we will cherish throught our life. I don't where I am going with this but there is so much to this man's music ...the charisma ...and the spirit that he embodies that my thoughts do wander like this many a time. Instead of boring the ones near me ...this time I guess I chose this forum :-) Sorry about that :-) -A http://viewsnmuse.blogspot.com
