[arr] Drowned in Blue!
Hi All, After listening to Blue CD countless times on my Dolby Home Theater sound system in last few days (and in mobile headphone when i am at office and in car stereo when im on the move..) I have started to feel the soundtracks of Blue has some uncanny atmospheric effect to it... the heavy reverberating overall sounds, suppressed voices, deep sounds of music (e.g. rehnuma), almost hollow vocal effect (like the female part of fiqrana)... they all reminds me the effects of listening to music on sea shores... and it would probably sound this way if I could go deep into sea and listen to music (no headphones obviously)... Dont know if any of you would agree with me.. or I have gone mad with Blue! ARR always keeps me mad about him with his music... only this time its almost unbearable! :) BR, Moin Ali

[arr] Aye Kudhahafiz - New and Improved
Dear Rahmaniacs With the Blues of the Blue and passages. I happened to play a mix i which did like 2 years ago. This is a classic from Yuva - Kudhahafiz. The song is so way ahead of its times even now that no other track has come out with the breezy feel.The visuals just added to the beauty of the track. One of the DJs has asked me to try a mix with samples from some of the popular dance tracks those days. Incidently, i found few perfect matches from some Bob Sinclar tracks which has a compatible key and groove. To this i added some more spices and it was accepted well.:) I called this mix called - Aye Kudhahafiz – The Long Drive Mix . Ofcourse with total respect to the original. Now i have revisited and made an 'improved' version which i am sure you will like it. Now the 'New and Improved' version here : http://www.wiredbeats.com/2009/09/15/aye-kudhahafiz-the-long-drive-mix/ Your feedback is appreciated.

[arr] Glamsham reviews Blue music (Simply a must buy!)
http://www.glamsham.com/music/reviews/15-blue-music-review-090904.asp In many ways Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision's BLUE is a unique film, having many firsts to its credit. It is Hindi cinema's first ever under water, action adventure film with the cast undergoing scuba diving training in order to shoot under some eighty feet below the water, almost at the bottom of the sea! It is director Anthony D'Souza's first film. Also, it is the first project where Oscar winner A. R. Rahman has composed for action king, 'Khiladi' Akshay Kumar. Yes, not many will be aware that even though Akshay Kumar and A. R. Rahman have been dominating the Bollywood scene for more than a decade, yet the two have never combined for any film, and so BLUE is the first film where the two will share the same platform. Then we have Australian pop sensation, Kylie Minogue, who features for the first time in a Bollywood flick. With so many unique features to its credit, combined with the finest international crew and some amazing underwater action sequences, BLUE is the most anticipated Diwali release. And its audio album too comes fraught with gargantuan expectations, BLUE being the first album to be launched after A.R. Rahman's historic Oscar win. And last and not the least, Resul Pookutty, another Oscar winner, is the sound engineer for BLUE. Need we say more? First let's come to the most talked about song, featuring the international pop sensation from Australia, Kylie Minogue, ''Chiggy Wiggy''. The number is a perfect blend of soft pop and bombastic, earthy but all Punjabi 'bhangra', which makes it a totally 'dhamaal' dance track. Kylie's part is naturally pop and the soft tune chosen is very infectious and alluring, in -keeping with Kylie's super hot image. Her sensuously soft vocals caress the senses and is the highlight of the composition, as she is simply brilliant. The 'bhangra' part, sung by Sonu Nigam is no great shakes, and shades of ''Tote Tote Ho Gaya'' (BICHOO) is present. Although as seen in the promos of the song, the part where Akshay Kumar comes in, accompanied by the sound of loud 'hoi' and 'dhols' and breaks into the 'bhangra' jig, will certainly set the house on fire. All this combined with the festive Diwali mood, the song having the added propellants in the form of all the top stars of BLUE like Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta and Zayed Khan, will no doubt rule the charts for a while, although it will not have a long shelf life, as it is not worth the hype. The A.R. Rahman stamp of quality is missing. His signature musical orchestration, the fresh as a morning dew tune which is expected from a Rahman composition too cannot be heard. The lyrics by Abbas Tyrewala though are definitely fresh and instantly appealing. However, the next number, 'Aaj Dil Gustakh Hai', is a true blue Rahman number and one is simply blown away by its sheer magical melody that is so easy on the lips. The music maestro makes up for somewhat letting down his fans, this time with a superb romantic composition, a fine love ballad. The breezy song, complete with Rahman's superlative trademark crescendo, single string guitaring and lovely background female chorals, makes for a perfect romantic beach song. After a mesmerizing ''Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye'' (GHAJINI), Rahman comes up with another gem of a romantic outing in the from of ''Aaj Dil Gustakh Hai''. The moment the song commences with sensual female chorals and Sukhwinder's trademark, well loved and admired TAAL type semi-classical singing, one knows that this is Rahman's special Diwali gift to his fans. The number may take a couple of hearings to grow, as is the norm with most Rahman compositions, but grow it definitely will and stay on the play list of many die-hard romantics for quite sometime. Sukhwinder is magical. His chemistry with Rahman never fails, whether it is an inspirational, romantic, situational or devotional composition, Sukhi always reserves his best for Rahman. And 'sone pe suhaga' is the new nightingale, Shreya Ghoshal, who is at her 'surily' best. CHECK OUT: No BLUE song for Katrina! ''Fiqrana'' can be classified as a theme song, as it is a beautiful musical way that the characters of the film are introduced through the song, without it being too heavy on the senses. The dare devil, non caring attitude of the protagonists is beautifully expressed through a highly charged, high on octane composition that has a slight resemblance (in parts) to Rahman's ''Dhakka Laka Bukka'' (YUVA). Vijay Prakash shows that it's just not classical that he is adept at as he skillfully wades through the song that has a slight rock touch to it as well. He is aided by Shreya who comes in briefly and not to mention, Rahman's acoustic innovations in the form of echo and synth. Once again the opening guitar piece is haunting and keeps coming back, embellishing the song, so does the amazing 'mukhda' which is the jewel in the crown. Rajat Arora's lyrics go well with the spirit of the film and

Drums Sivamani to turn musicianIndiaGlitz [Tuesday, September 15, 2009]The drums have always served as the lifeline of any instrumental composition it accompanies. Whether it is world music, hip-hop, RB, or rock, drumming is the force that stirs emotion and creates magic.A person who can treat even spoons and plate as drums is our popular percussionist Sivamani. Aptly nicknamed Drums Sivamani, he literally has the public in a trance when he beat his drums. He is the favourite drummer of A R Rahman and has worked with him for innumerable times.Sivamani these days is making a mark on his own. The latest talk of the town is that he is all set to become a music composer.According to sources, he might be composing music for a Hindi movie soon. Sivamani is also expected to join hands with the Mozart of Madras A R Rahman for a Hollywood project. Sivamani is said to be excited about his new role and is looking forward to it with lots of expectations. More details about his project would be revealed soon. Let his rhythmic style which engulfs his listeners with bliss and energy continue in his compositions too... Drum it out, we say! http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/49983.html

Re: [arr] Very interesting story about ARR on manorama(Ouseppachan is in ARR's autorikshaw :)
*Here is my translation of the Manorama article*
One early morning at 5 AMAn autorickshaw is heading towards Rajendra
Colony located at Saligramam, Chennai. The passenger is Malayalam composer
Ouseppachan, carrying his violin. And the driver? None other than A R
Rahman. How did this happen?
Ouseppachan is talking about the times he and ARR worked together at ARR's
room in Swamiyarmadam. ARR prefers to work at night. So they both get
immersed in the world of music and go on like that until the milkman rings
in the morning which is like their wakeup call. Back then ARR used to own a
private autorickshaw. It was in this auto that he took Ouseppachan to his
studio.
Ouseppachan's acquaintance with ARR can be traced back to the 80s. ARR was
in the orchestra for the song Devadoothar Paadi from the movie Kathodu
Kathoram which was Ouseppachan's debut. ARR was only about 15 at that time
and yet his mixing and editing would enhance the songs even beyond the
composer's vision. Ouseppachan believes this is why ARR became the favorite
of all composers at that time.
He doesn't distinctly remember when he met ARR for the first time. He
remembers the band comprising of ARR, Shivamani (drums), John Antony
(guitar) and also a Negro. The band quickly became popular then.
ARR worked with Ouseppachan in over 25 movies including Ulladakkam (*
Maayatha*), Witness (*Poovinu, Thumbamellam*), Thoovalsparsham (*Sugandham*)
etc..
Even after ARR became popular, he used to invite Ouseppachan to play violin
for some of his hit songs. ARR and Ouseppachan worked on an album called
Welcome 1990. The composition was done on ARR's dad RK Shekhar's harmonium,
which Ouseppachan believes is inaccessible to anyone today as ARR keeps it
as a prized treasure.
Not many people know that Ouseppachan was part of the violin group that
worked in Slumdog Millionaire. The composition supposedly happened years
back.

[arr] Cinefundas reviews Blue Music
http://www.cinefundas.com/2009/09/10/blue-music-review lue – Smashing Fiesta for Rahman buffs You’ll go wordless and to the extreme – speechless… Yeah! Here comes the biggest Dhamaka from academy award winner. The stunning tunes leave you out in abundant invigorations. What an extraordinary spell by Rahman? Distinctly, this is gonna be the best musical album of the year. CHIGGY WIGGY – Right mix of ‘West -n- Bhangra’ SINGERS: KYLIE MINOGUE, SONU NIGAM SUZANNE LYRICS: ABBAS TYREWALA You no need any introduction about this song. It has already haunted the entire town with ‘Chiggy-wiggy’ mania. What makes the song sound special? The wonderful mix of western-n-Bhangra style makes it happen. The song get-goes with Kylie Minogue’s English lines and later with the coalescing touch of Bhangra touch. The singers just sweep you out with their magniloquent intonations, especially Kylie. The sound orchestration is mind-boggling as you heed over it on your hi-fi surround systems. BLUE THEME – Adrenaline-pumping SINGERS: BLAAZE, RAQEEB AALAM, SONU KAKKAR, JASPREET SINGH, NEHA KAKKAR, DILSHAD PUNJABI LYRICS: SUKWINDER SINGH HINDI LYRICS: RAQUEEB ALAM Lagtha Hai, Rahman has sprang-up with a special attraction for ‘Punjabi’ factors. As in the previous number, this signature rap song has it all with an apposite mix. Just look into the singers and lyricists and you can patently envisage the stylized tune much before heeding to it. Incisively, it’s sure to surmount your expectations. Play it million times and you’ll get transfixed listening to it more over again. AAJ DIL – Sensuously tuned SINGERS: SHREYA GHOSHAL, SUKHWINDER SINGH LYRICS : MAYUR PURI Well, if you’re an ardent buff of Rahman, here’s the best attributes that’ll bring you the right guess even without the label ‘BLUE’. The fast-rolling song penned by Mayur Puri has heavy chord works on guitar followed by ‘Latin Rock-fangled notes on fortepianos. It’s much evident that only Rahman is much glued to such patterns. Totting up, you’ve the typical ‘Bass-n-beats’ eclipsing your senses. On the vocalisms, it’s a rare combo of Sukwindher on his husky tone and Shreya Ghosal, the melodious voice. The songs would really do much better once viewed on the screens. BHOOLA TUJHE – Breezy touch on parts SINGERS: RASHID ALI LYRICS : ABBAS TYREWALA The most highlighting part with this musical album is awesomely orchestrated instrumentations and roping in best singers. Much unparalleled to the previous numbers, ‘Bhoola Tujhe’ is a breezy number crooned by Rashid Ali. His ability to intonate towards various octaves with an ease makes it sound perfect. More than all, the running notes on stringed instruments embellishes. As in other songs, there’s continuous striking of guitar chords accompanied with Cello on base touch pulls the song behind the norms of what actually a best melody would sound. REHNUMA – Enchanting lyrics SINGERS: SHREYA GHOSHAL, SONU NIGAM LYRICS : ABBAS TYREWALA Suno, Sunthe Jaao and you will just remain mesmerized with best coalesces of melodic tune and apt vocals. More on parts, it reminds us off Rahman’s previous tunes as ‘Hey Kudhaafiz ‘Yuva’ (‘Hey Goodbye Nanba – Aayitha Ezhthu) as the tempo and stylized rhythms keep shifting on parts. As in other song, the brilliant visuals would gradually enrich the song’s touchstone. Shreya Ghosal and Sonu Nigam have proved of adeptness on their ducky melody. YAAR MILA THA – Soothing Duet SINGERS: UDIT NARAYAN, MADHUSHREE UJJAYINEE ROY Thusly, it’s a song above mediocre amongst the other numbers. Per chance, it enhances the ‘attraction quotients’ as we keep heeding to it. Rahman’s touch is much revealing with innovative fill-ins. The beats don’t hop-skip into different levels throughout the show. As whole, ‘BLUE’ is something out-of-blue when it comes to the musical scenario of Rahman. Of course, he has spelled distinguished tunes. On the dot, this is a fantabulous piece of work from the academy award winner. With couple of versions grounded with English based lyrics, the international audiences are sure to get casted with Rahamania.

I was driven to his home in Saali Gramam by ARR himself in his private Autorickshaw. I have known him for years. He played the keyboard for my song “Devadoothar Paadi” from Kaathodu Kaathoram, my first film as an independent Music Director. A 15 year old boy who simply plays random tones on his Keyboard while he is in the recording studio. Music was sweeter when edited and mixed by himself on his keyboard. I guess this made him popular among other Music Directors as many of them wanted Rahman for the Orchestration of their songs. ARR has played Keyboard for over 25 of my films. Ulladakkom, Thoovalsparsham, Witness etc are a few in that list. Later when he started composing I was invited to play violin for him. We co-composed an Album too and it was titled Welcome 1990. All songs were composed using R K Sekhar’s Harmonium, which he has now kept as a priceless treasure out of anybody else’ reach. Very few know the fact that Ouseppachan was a part of the Troupe that orchestrated the OSCAR winning songs of SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, the composing of which started a long time ago. Translated by Jijo Thanks to Vipin Snap of the Autorickshaw : www.i25.tinypic.com/9laphz.jpg It was shared by a fellow Rahmaniac.

Hi All, After listening to Blue CD countless times on my Dolby Home Theater sound system in last few days (and in mobile headphone when i am at office and in car stereo when im on the move..) I have started to feel the soundtracks of Blue has some uncanny atmospheric effect to it... the heavy reverberating overall sounds, suppressed voices, deep sounds of music (e.g. rehnuma), almost hollow vocal effect (like the female part of fiqrana) they all reminds me the effects of listening to music on sea shores... and it would probably sound this way if I could go deep into sea and listen to music (no headphones obviously).. . Dont know if any of you would agree with me.. or I have gone mad with Blue! ARR always keeps me mad about him with his music... only this time its almost unbearable! :) BR, Moin Ali Yahoo!

Nor am I interested in doing it. I believed (I still do) that this is a very valid point I was discussing on, else I would not have made the time out to write my posts while attending to my unwell daughter admitted to the hospital. Having said that, the sound aspect has been something that has been haunting me for quite sometime, and with Blue, this HAD to be brought out, period. Let me make my intentions very clear, yet again - I love ARR.. and I dont want another music director's sound quality to be ahead of his. If that emotion of mine is making me sound like predicting his doom (even though that was not my intention, not in my wildest dreams), I can't help it. I didnt start this discussion to debate - be it with a person or with a group. Disagreements are bound to happen, I do accept them and I move on, since it is a person's opinion and I respect it. But, I do not intend to stop this discussion just because a person is not interested in discussing this. I had to write this coz people here started taking it too personally - which does not help serve the purpose of this discussion.

You are sounding as if ARR is doomed in the future if he does not take care of this sound aspect. I personally feel ARR is completely aware of what he and his team of sound engineers are doing because we know him to be that kind of person – a perfectionist to the core. And I think he has enormous clout with the production companies that all he has to do is just talk with them if he feels they are messing up with his music. I agree about the loudness (could be because of these so called loudness wars) and a lot of times where the orchestration is not clear but probably that is due to the massive amount of layering and the instrumentation he does than to do with any shortcomings on the part of his team or the mastering company. It is probably a nightmare for his sound engineers to highlight each and every instrument and the complex layering that he does in his music. I do agree with your observation about Dostana and Bacchna being clearer but that is probably due to the absence of any complex layering that you would find in a ARR song. Now given a choice between a straight forward album of other music MDs (which does not grow with every listening) or a slightly muddled up ARR album (as a result of his creativity), I would personally go for the latter because there is so much to discover in our boss’s music. Just my take. Am no technical expert like some of the others here. With every album and time, ARR is only seeming to go from strength to strength turning even his detractors into fans, so I feel (my personal opinion) this doomsday scenario is not warranted. thanks From:arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com [mailto:arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com] On Behalf Of Arun KB Ganesh Sent: 13 September, 2009 12:50 AM To: arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com Subject: Re: [arr] Re: 'Blue' Sound/Audio Quality - Dissapointed Note - Dear ARR, If you are reading this - This mail is not intended to hurt you or your team.

[arr] Giggle at the end of 'Aaj Dil Gustakh'
There is a giggle by Shreya Ghoshal at the end of the song. Shreya has an account on twitter (which she visits pretty much every day), and I asked here about it; her response - Hey! The giggle wasn't, the sargam was RT @Rivjot: @shreyaghoshal there is a giggle short sargam in the end of 'Aaj Dil'-was it intentional Another unconventional sound like many other Rahman songs :)

R. Rahman Abbas Tyrewala, Rajat Arora, Mayur Puri, Raqueeb Alam and Sukhwinder Singh Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Zayed Khan and Katrina Kaif (special appearance) and Rahul Dev. -- By Abid, Bollywood Trade News Network[image: Send to Friend]http://www.glamsham.com/sendlink.asp?page=http://www.glamsham.com/music/reviews/15-blue-music-review-090904.asptitle=Blue%20:%20Music%20Review [image: view BLUE videos] http://broadband.glamsham.com/tags/blue/ *view BLUE videos http://broadband.glamsham.com/tags/blue/* In many ways Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision's BLUE is a unique film, having many firsts to its credit. It is Hindi cinema's first ever under water, action adventure film with the cast undergoing scuba diving training in order to shoot under some eighty feet below the water, almost at the bottom of the sea! It is director Anthony D'Souza's first film. Also, it is the first project where Oscar winner A. R. Rahman has composed for action king, 'Khiladi' Akshay Kumar. Yes, not many will be aware that even though Akshay Kumar and A. R. Rahman have been dominating the Bollywood scene for more than a decade, yet the two have never combined for any film, and so BLUE is the first film where the two will share the same platform. Then we have Australian pop sensation, Kylie Minogue, who features for the first time in a Bollywood flick. With so many unique features to its credit, combined with the finest international crew and some amazing underwater action sequences, BLUE is the most anticipated Diwali release. And its audio album too comes fraught with gargantuan expectations, BLUE being the first album to be launched after A.R. Rahman's historic Oscar win. And last and not the least, Resul Pookutty, another Oscar winner, is the sound engineer for BLUE. Need we say more? First let's come to the most talked about song, featuring the international pop sensation from Australia, Kylie Minogue, ''Chiggy Wiggy''. The number is a perfect blend of soft pop and bombastic, earthy but all Punjabi 'bhangra', which makes it a totally 'dhamaal' dance track. Kylie's part is naturally pop and the soft tune chosen is very infectious and alluring, in -keeping with Kylie's super hot image. Her sensuously soft vocals caress the senses and is the highlight of the composition, as she is simply brilliant. The 'bhangra' part, sung by Sonu Nigam is no great shakes, and shades of ''Tote Tote Ho Gaya'' (BICHOO) is present. Although as seen in the promos of the song, the part where Akshay Kumar comes in, accompanied by the sound of loud 'hoi' and 'dhols' and breaks into the 'bhangra' jig, will certainly set the house on fire. All this combined with the festive Diwali mood, the song having the added propellants in the form of all the top stars of BLUE like Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta and Zayed Khan, will no doubt rule the charts for a while, although it will not have a long shelf life, as it is not worth the hype. The A.R. Rahman stamp of quality is missing. His signature musical orchestration, the fresh as a morning dew tune which is expected from a Rahman composition too cannot be heard. The lyrics by Abbas Tyrewala though are definitely fresh and instantly appealing. However, the next number, 'Aaj Dil Gustakh Hai', is a true blue Rahman number and one is simply blown away by its sheer magical melody that is so easy on the lips. The music maestro makes up for somewhat letting down his fans, this time with a superb romantic composition, a fine love ballad. The breezy song, complete with Rahman's superlative trademark crescendo, single string guitaring and lovely background female chorals, makes for a perfect romantic beach song. After a mesmerizing ''Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye'' (GHAJINI), Rahman comes up with another gem of a romantic outing in the from of ''Aaj Dil Gustakh Hai''. The moment the song commences with sensual female chorals and Sukhwinder's trademark, well loved and admired TAAL type semi-classical singing, one knows that this is Rahman's special Diwali gift to his fans. The number may take a couple of hearings to grow, as is the norm with most Rahman compositions, but grow it definitely will and stay on the play list of many die-hard romantics for quite sometime. Sukhwinder is magical. His chemistry with Rahman never fails, whether it is an inspirational, romantic, situational or devotional composition, Sukhi always reserves his best for Rahman. And 'sone pe suhaga' is the new nightingale, Shreya Ghoshal, who is at her 'surily' best. *CHECK OUT: No BLUE song for Katrina!http://www.glamsham.com/movies/scoops/09/aug/29-no-blue-song-for-katrina-080901.asp * ''Fiqrana'' can be classified as a theme song, as it is a beautiful musical

Re: [arr] Fw: Must Listen - Pritam copying ARR again
This is not a copy. And the ARR bit is a commercially available sample and not his composition. Watch the climax of the hollywood flick death race and you will find it there.
