 Hello Rahman fans,

 I feel proud and honored to be a member of the most up-to-date AR Rahman
 info portal on the internet. Once Rahmanonline.com shutdown I probably never
 found clear and latest info on the melody master like this place.

 AR Rahmans Japanese website info was the ulitmate that I could think of
 when I think of the people who write on this board. I am so blessed to be
 among such fans of AR Rahman.

 I was so jealous of the ARR fans group that went together to see the Jai Ho
 show at Pune. I don't know if any pack of Rahmaniacs plan to go together
 this time to the Chennai show on 11th October.

 If the stalwart fans like Vithur know of something like it, please let me
 know. I would love to watch the show pretty close by(Seen 2-3 shows from
 much futher away on earlier shows :( ) but if given a chances to watch
 it with the Rahmaniacs Wow WOw. I would love that. Please reply. We can
 probably do a Car pool or something!

 Cheers,
 Hari.

RE: [arr] Anyone agree with this statement from PB?

2009-09-28 Thread Jesheem Mohamed



It definitely is a wonderful soundtrack and that too for a debut album. But to 
say that it has never been toppled by ARR is definitely a debatable topic. 
Here's a thread. Leaving out every single album, I doubt if the Music 
connoisseurs CAN ignore Jodha Akbar! JA was a musical masterpiece. People who 
were then a lil unsure abt the grand music, definitely will understand the 
value it added in bringing out the aesthetics of each and every scene. A 
soundtrack that did justice not just to the movie but as well for the period it 
was set in, it still had a dimension that was way ahead of times.
I strongly believe that JA has to be the strongest contender for soundtrack at 
the 2008 National Awards.
Any thoughts to ponder?
Cheers..Jesheem

[arr] Re: Hyd concert tickets very expensive :(

2009-09-28 Thread promod_4904

Friends

The pricing was same for Pune and calicut. Hyderabad has just replicated the 
same.

What i understand from the event manager , that the seats priced at Rs 25,000, 
12500 and 7500 are very limted and constitute only 5% of the total seating. 95 
percent of the seating is for denominations 4000 and below. Hence we all will 
be very close to the stage. 

Also understand the 500 Rs seating has already been sold out. Hence not 
available for sale at www.bookmyshow.com

 Example, in the song Sajna, notice how the strings gradually weave their

 totally harmonizing beautifully with the chorus.MY GOD, THAT IS GENIUS!

Re: [arr] Re: Couples Retreat Soundtrack Review

Chord, agreed.

Could you explain if you find a difference between Dil Se and Blue in terms
of audio quality. Dil se had the same if not more layers of orchestrations,
instruments used.
One more question. I would find Yuva to be very close to blue in terms of
genre and the feel. Dont you feel Yuva was higher in terms of audio quality?


On Sun, Sep 27, 2009 at 2:38 PM, ichord purev...@yahoo.com wrote:



 Hey Anand,

 Diff between Blue and CR

 1) Blue has multiple layers, very dense, while CR is lighter in terms of
 quantity of arrangements, thus more breathing room and space in the tracks.

 2) Blue's sound engineering team are composed of multiple people, using
 different platforms around the world (multisourced), hence some
 inconsistencies in terms of volumes, etc. (found that out through a good
 friend). Also, check out the sound credits in the Blue inlayso many
 people! CR's sound team appears to be more intimate and I think ARR may have
 supervised the sound better in CR.

 3) The nature of Blue's music is loud and heavy, given it's an action and
 massala bollywood flick. CR's theme is more light and since it's mostly
 instrumental, allowed AR to show more pure artistic creativity in terms of
 sound and arrangements.

 BTW, I love Blue and CR both for different reasons.

  shortsighted we fans can be if we limit his genius to just the formulaic

  we should allow him to do just that otherwise risk his creativity getting
  stunted and a kind of boredom setting in. Looks like his creative genius
  needs to be challenged all the time. If it is, it is good for us fans as

  Bravo! Great job, Suresh! Now, that's what I call a great review, doing
 full
  justice to this exquisite soundtrack. I esp. like that you talked about
 the
  sounds, instruments, arrangements a lot, which really do deserve specific
  menttion in each track. I liked how you tried to connect the music to the
  visuals, giving more meaning to each track in context. Appreciated how
 you
  tried to put the comedy element in logical light, stating that the
 serious
  music is for those who are the butt of the jokes and who don't find it
  funny, but the rest do! Makes perfect sense! I love some of your
  descriptions, like, bed of soft strings.very classy! Lastly, you
 very
  nicely put this in perspective in comparison to Slumdog in that even
 though
  it won't gather the same attention and perhaps level of accolades as
  Slumdog, it still deserves to be celebrated as a beautifully strong
 entrance
  for Rahman into hollywood. I can see your knowledge and ear for good
 music
  is quite refined and I really appreciate that. The only thing I didn't
 agree
  with you was the criticism on Sajna Re, but I respect that opinion a lot
  because you explained in detail why you felt that way. Geez, I wish more
  people would write reviews like you do And yes, you very correctly
  stated that it used the same musical template as Dreams on Fire, which is
  what I thought too when I heard it.
 
  For me, the core strength of this soundtrack is in artistic, aural, and
  aesthetic beauty, not commercial potential. It's one of the most
 beautifully
  crafted compositionally and sonically mostly acoustic album by Rahman and
 to
  me, that's all I need to celebrate, regardless of movie success. That is
 the
  greatest distinction between this and Slumdog, which was more of a
  commercial, highly energized, stylish, electronic soundtrack. Both
 Slumdog
  and Couple's Retreat showcase ARR's versatility amazingly and I hope
 people
  here in the West recognize that.

ARR should try to give a song like Tadap Tadap Ke.

right. Absolutely correct. Not just ARR but many others MDs of recent times

 Here's a thread. Leaving out every single album, I doubt if the Music 
 connoisseurs CAN ignore *Jodha Akbar*! JA was a musical masterpiece. 
 People who were then a lil unsure abt the grand music, definitely will 
 understand the value it added in bringing out the aesthetics of each and 
 every scene. A soundtrack that did justice not just to the movie but as 
 well for the period it was set in, it still had a dimension that was way 
 ahead of times.
 
 I strongly believe that JA has to be the strongest contender for 
 soundtrack at the 2008 National Awards.
 
 Any thoughts to ponder?

2009-09-28 Thread Gayathri Chandrakasan

One is entitled to have his/her own opinions of a particular album. The author 
may think that HDDCS is the best album or a masterpiece, nevertheless to say  
that most music connoisseurs  will agree that Ismail Darbar's debut soundtrack 
has never been toppled since its release, is certainly totally debatable. How 
many times have we really heard about HDDCS being quoted as the best album in 
India? It's a wonderful album, no doubt and did win the National award for best 
music director but ARR's Taal, which incidently was released on the same year 
went on to win the most accolades and swept  up all the popular awards that 
year.

In fact, PB's article seem to be contradicting with their earlier 
articles...check the one below on 100 Greatest Bollywood Soundtracks Ever 

http://www.planetbollywood.com/displayArticle.php?id=031407044048

HDDCS is at no 35 and Lagaan at 34.

Quotes from PB on HDDCS and Lagaan

...Along with Taal, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was a perfect album to end of the 
century.

Lagaan is the best musical album so far for this decade.  AR Rehman came up 
with an album that is a winner by all standards.

Lagaan music is truly a masterpiece.  No doubt, AR Rehman truly deserves the 
music awards he got for Lagaan.

Maybe the next time around, PB should form a more diligent research on music 
albums before coming out with such statements.

  There are so many magic moments in CR for meI'm just spellbound. But,
  one thing that I always love about ARR is how he gradually introduces a new
  instrument or arrangement as a song progresses...it just sort of sneaks up
  quietly and you hear bits and pieces before it totally comes into full
  bloom
 
  Example, in the song Sajna, notice how the strings gradually weave their
  way in with the rhythm after the first choral interlude, getting louder and
  more prominent before we hear them in full bloom at the end of the song,
  totally harmonizing beautifully with the chorus.MY GOD, THAT IS GENIUS!
 
  That's what I love most about ARRit's the details in his musicthe
  subtle artistry.the small thingsthat just create so much magic and
  tug at your soul.!
 
  I just feel blessed that I have sensitive enough ears and am open minded
  enough to appreciate the small but powerful musical elements in ARR's
  compositions.

Re: [arr] Anyone agree with this statement from PB?

Not to take away anything from ID or the amazing soundtrack, but nimbuda was
shamelessly plagiarised and not credited to the original composer.

Ismail Darbar Inspired by Ghazni Khan Manganiyar's Rajasthani Folk song,

*If you'd like to listen to the full version of the folk song, click
herehttp://www.musicindiaonline.com/l/24/s/album.1671/ (check
out 'Nimbuda Nimbuda'!)*

Take a look at these 2 (out of many other sites) sites that talk of this
song being a lift from a Rajasthani Manganiyar folk song!
Diverse 
Strainshttp://www.india-seminar.com/2001/501/501%20shubha%20mudgal.htm|
Sunday
Tribune http://www.tribuneindia.com/2001/20010128/spectrum/main5.htm
I completely agree with Shuba Mudgal (who has penned the write-up in Diverse
Strains) when she asks, *If we can listen to a folk song in a blockbuster
movie, why can we not give an occasional patient hearing to the original?*
Ismail Darbar had a wonderful chance to handle this in the right way, but I
wonder why he messed it up and ended with a 'plagiarist' tag - that too in
his much-celebrated debut. All he had to do was to add a note of credit to
the original composer of the song, Rajasthani folk singer Ghazni Khan
Manganiyar, so that people can differentiate between the original and the
Bollywood version - when you listen to the two you'd understand the kind of
work that Ismail has put in, in his version and made a simple,
'otherwise-restricted-to-a-few-discerning-listeners' track into an
ultra-catchy dance number! Its a pity that decided to pass it as his
original composition.

[arr] Blue the biggest let down by ARR

It took me nearly two weeks to just get into the grove of  Blue and now I have 
to listen two other masterpieces Couples Retreat and Passage. Man all these 
albums are so creative and beyond expectation .The challenging part are to 
grasp in our mind at once. 
Big thanks to our thala.

Oh ya, the let down is why didn't he sing in blue, Fiqrana would have been apt 
for him, however I still believe ARR sang the chorus part in Fiqrana, it sounds 
like him, maybe  he was not credited. Blue is an absolute stunner. It is all up 
to the director to do justification to this soundtrack.

On kurukuru kan from CR (Afro nisha), it sounds like our thala and some  media 
ppl claims its someone else. Is Afro Nisha his alter ego?

[arr] CR ROCKS

Wow it can't get any better ,esp Sajna and  Nana its gonna be widely 
appreciated by everyone. AR Amin's contribtion's in Nana is very adorable.

 HDDCS is at no 35 and Lagaan at 34.

 Quotes from PB on HDDCS and Lagaan

 ...Along with Taal, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was a perfect album to end of
 the century.

 Lagaan is the best musical album so far for this decade. AR Rehman came
 up with an album that is a winner by all standards.

 Lagaan music is truly a masterpiece. No doubt, AR Rehman truly deserves
 the music awards he got for Lagaan.

 Maybe the next time around, PB should form a more diligent research on
 music albums before coming out with such statements.

[arr] Chiggy Wiggy removed from Blue

2009-09-28 Thread Naveen Naushad

Kylie Minogue's big Bollywood debut has fizzled out. She recorded the song
Chiggy Wiggy, composed by A R Rahman, for the film Blue - which stars Akshay
Kumar, Lara Dutt, Sanjay Dutt and Zayed Khan - but it will not be used.

Minogue was paid $1-million (R7.3m) for the song, but the producers decided
not to use it because it was silly.

A source said, The film is way over budget and the producers are struggling
to complete it. Everyone expected the song to be a hit, especially since
Rahman was involved, but it was disappointing. It makes no sense to have the
song because it does not add anything to the film.


Naveen

[arr] Re: Blue the biggest let down by ARR

Well put, Adamirshad!  I know how you feel.  Just as I was getting into Blue, 
Passage and CR came out and now I feel overwhelmed.  Man, look at the range of 
music in all 3 soundtracks..could anyone ever imagine one composer capable 
of creating so much variety in sound and music and not at all repeating himself 
or sounding bland?  AR is just beyond amazing.  

I too wanted to hear AR in Blue, but I liked Vijay's rendition in Faqrana.  
Apart from some sound issues in Blue, which never really bothered me, it's an 
amazing soundtrack.  

For me, ever since Jodha Akbar's music in 2008, it's just been raining ARR 
nonstop with only a few let ups in between in terms of some less than stellar 
songs, but overall, his quality output has remained incredible..look at 
this track record from Jan 2008JA, Jaane Tu, Ada, Yuvvraaj, Sakrakatti, 
Ghajini, Slumdog, Connections, Delhi 6, Blue, Passage, and now CR...reminds 
me of the Bonnanza he had in the late 1990s and early 2000s.  And Raavan is 
only going to continue the party and I can guarantee you right now without a 
doubt in my mind, Raavan is going to be a COMPLETE masterpiece.

A.R. Rahman's water conservation message
Padma Iyer [September 28, 2009, 5:49:56 PM]
Twin Oscar winner A.R. Rahman has indeed charmed the whole world. He is
currently working with some of the biggest names in international music and at
the same time, doing his bit for the betterment of the world.
Following his anti-poverty anthem for the UN, the Mozart of Madras is now
joining the likes of U2 and Shakira for a global video on water conservation.
The video was shot in Filmistan Studios recently. This music video will be
aired worldwide through the Internet. The 120 minute webcast is titled 'Moving
Stars And Earth For Water' and will also feature U2, Peter Gabriel and Shakira.
Rahman's 3.40-minute music video is based on the musical track 'Vellai Pookal'
penned by Vairamuthu, from the movie Kannathil Mutthamittal. This Mani Ratnam
classic had won Rahman the National Award. Talking about why he chose this
particular track, Rahman said that he always relied on his instincts for music
and this track felt perfect for the theme of water conservation.
The video, directed by Deepak Gattani, founder of Rapport Global, will feature
Rahman (dressed in white) and kids as the song is addressed to the young
generation of today.
The 'Moving Stars And Earth For Water' webcast is pioneered by the Canadian
foundation One Drop and it hopes to raise worldwide awareness on water
conservation.

I think what Vijay posted is actually the backing vocal. These singers are

pretty sure it is Blaaze's voice. His voice easily stands out from others

http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/audiolisting/13837/index.html

I hope T-Series release it on some comipilation CD or something

Re: [arr] Blue the biggest let down by ARR

Rawat, I totally understand your point, but this title is not to attract ppl 
like u, its solely meant for those who are disappointed with blue and trying to 
convince them self by saying next ARR soundtrack will quench their thirst. So I 
believe from now on those members who gets excited without hearing to the songs 
properly and letting it grow on them will think twice to be inconsiderate of 
our genius's work. The meaning of Thala is somewhat like Boss. Usually Politian 
and movie star are described such a way, for me the only thala is our genius 
himself.

Vijay prakash undeniably has done a tremendous job in fiqrana, I agree on that 
chord. Coming back to the sound issue, I went to Singapore this week to get the 
audio CD of Blue as our usual Malaysian supplier failed to get the cds on time. 
I really got fed up with the quality of mp3,so just decided to drive down to 
get the cd. It was obviously better esp clarity wise but what I personally feel 
is that the audio company is compromising the quality of the songs by 
compressing it to fit in all the songs one disc or maybe its low quality disc. 
This is maybe due to ARR's extensive layering technique which may coz the files 
to be big, therefore CD distributor may not be able to justify it due to 
costing issues. Because when I compare it with ARR's international outputs such 
as Warriors and Slumdog the quality is perfecto, on the flipside it's only 
hindi cd we having this prob esp Blue now. So I believe something fishy is 
going on esp with T series coz Ada was released by Big music and the quality 
was good.

  Blue is an absolute stunner. It is all up to the director to do 
  justification to this soundtrack.
  
  On kurukuru kan from CR (Afro nisha), it sounds like our thala and some  
  media ppl claims its someone else. Is Afro Nisha his alter ego?

I like the original Kylie version much better.

If this is true then it will be a real shame... Perhaps they can use it for the 
opening or closing credits...shame to waste a hard worked on composition...esp 
after $1million dollars have been spent on it...

Kylie Minogue's big Bollywood debut has fizzled out. She recorded the song 
Chiggy Wiggy, composed by A R Rahman, for the film Blue - which stars Akshay 
Kumar, Lara Dutt, Sanjay Dutt and Zayed Khan - but it will not be used.

Minogue was paid $1-million (R7.3m) for the song, but the producers decided not 
to use it because it was silly.

A source said, The film is way over budget and the producers are struggling to 
complete it. Everyone expected the song to be a hit, especially since Rahman 
was involved, but it was disappointing. It makes no sense to have the song 
because it does not add anything to the film.
