yes i totally agree. We know the depth of effort ARR contributes to a
album.Therefore we make it a must to purchase his CDs. 
I feel Purchasing original ARR CDs is a kind of an encouragement for
ARR.

Good point, Wiredbeats. Recent example of that is with Blue. Yes, I too
am guilty of downloading, but I always buy new ARR CDs when they are
availablenever an exception! For Blue, yes, I know there are issues
with sound quality, but to me, the sound on the original CD is crisper
and sharper than what I hear on the MP3s, even though the MP3s are 320
kbps. So, yes, if you want the best quality listening, get the original
CD.

ARR himself once said that if we want composers to do good work and
create good music for our listening pleasure, we must buy original CDs.
And for ARR CDs, as we know, it's usually worth way, way, way more than
what we pay!

 I have downloaded rahman's MP3s many times (sometimes you just can't

 When the music is available to download free of cost, why should we
buy original CD. After all, ARR (or any other musician) is rich. he is
not going to be affected by some ppl not buying. Right ? 
 
 
 
 ** WRONG **
 
 
 
 The money that you spend for the CD is not just for the primary
artist. think about all the other artists working with him. And the
countless number of people involved in the music industry. Their
livelihood depends on the bucks that we consider to be saving by
downloading for free. If we want to keep getting better  better stuff
in terms of technology, it all depends on whether we buy or not.
 
 
 
 The money that we put is not just going to help the music industry.
What goes around comes around ! The whole economy is benefited. Imagine
if someone thinks you don't have to be paid for 10 minutes of your
work-week. Think what you are missing  how it will impact others.

Did you guys notice that A.R.R Sir has written many songs (Nana, Sajna) for

Re: [arr] any 'Audiophiles' on this group?

2009-10-08 Thread niyant_dalal
rajib - i don't know about the answer to your question, but I would
expect the larger ipods to have better DACs and hence be able to produce
a cleaner sound. obviously these may be perceivable only with
audiophile-quality output (headphones or speakers). it would be good to
hear from someone if they've done a one-to-one comparison with good
quality headphones.
there are many (mostly expensive to very expensive) ways of getting
clean output from ipods that are discussed on audiophile forums -- some
companies offer to modify your ipod's analog output (line out) to reduce
the amount of deterioration that occurs due to the analog transport to
your line out. there are others like 'wadia itransport' that offer
audiophile-grade ipod docks that completely bypass the DAC on the ipod
to transfer digital signals to your receivers / amps / etc.
there's a good 'audiophile' review of one of the older ipod classics
that might interest some:

-1.html
http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_14_1/ipod-bench-tested-3-2007-par\
t-1.html
but from what i hear, the purists would mostly not consider mp3s as a
good software source ... from a sound quality perspective its this:
vinyl, sacd, dvd audio  cd, lossless mp3 / aac / flac / ape   
mp3

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/film-reviews/couples-retreat-film-review-1004020287.story

Tech credits are solid, with the film repping the American debut of Indian 
superstar film composer A. R. Rahman. His is an efficient though relatively 
unmemorable job, the only hint of his Indian roots coming in the almost 
superfluous sequences involving Reno's couples whisperer.

[arr] A distracting, feel-good score from A.R. Rahman pipes in early and often.

2009-10-08 Thread pratap
`Couples Retreat' is far from paradise
LOS ANGELES – Couples Retreat suggests what life might have been
like if the guys from Swingers had grown up, moved to the suburbs and
turned into lame, sitcommy cliches.

Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn team
up again, on screen and on the script (along with Dana Fox), for this
broad comedy about four couples who go on a tropical vacation together.

In theory, they're all there to support their friends Jason 
(Jason Bateman) and Cynthia (Kristen Bell)
as they try to save their marriage through the couples' counseling the
resort offers. Little do they know they'll get sucked into agonizing
therapy sessions that reveal their own rifts. For example: Vaughn's
character, Dave, doesn't care about picking out tile to redo the
kitchen. His wife, Ronnie (Malin Akerman), does. It's a laugh riot if you think 
Paul Reiser's Couplehood is funny — and we haven't even gotten to their 
painfully cute young son whose defining personality trait is urinating and 
pooping in inappropriate places.
Under the direction of Peter Billingsley (Ralphie from A 
Christmas Story),
another longtime Vaughn friend and collaborator making his first
feature, Couples Retreat veers back and forth in a jarring way
between crude sexual humor and supposedly poignant moments. The couples
endure forced nudity and a wildly erotic yoga class; Favreau's
character, Joey, and his wife, Lucy (Kristin Davis),
who married right after high school, each try to get it on with their
respective massage therapists. But all must also bare their souls,
which feels wedged-in and unconvincing compared to the proliferation of
physical humor.

Faizon Love
rounds out the group as the divorced Shane, who brings along his
20-year-old girlfriend, Trudy (Kali Hawk), a shrill party girl who
likes to call him Daddy and pour hot wax on his naked chest.
Each
of these characters is exactly the same person the whole way through,
until one night when they all magically experience an epiphany that
makes them more communicative, patient and loving. During such moments,
a distracting, feel-good score — surprisingly from Slumdog Millionaire 
Oscar-winner A.R. Rahman — pipes in early and often.

Couples
Retreat makes fun of the people who run the place, including the New
Age-y mastermind, Monsieur Marcel (Jean Reno in a braided tail and a
Speedo), and the condescending concierge, Sctanley (Peter Serafinowicz)
— spelled with a c. But ultimately it embraces the very lessons the
resort is trying to teach. It also finds time for a little shameless
product placement along the way: an extended ad for Guitar Hero, right as the 
movie is approaching its big, revelatory climax..

A
few funny lines and ideas emerge here and there — the rigid Jason's
fondness for PowerPoint presentations is vaguely amusing — but Couples
Retreat mostly feels repetitive and overlong at nearly two hours. You
wouldn't mind getting voted off this island..
Couples
Retreat, a Universal Pictures release, is rated PG-13 on appeal for
sexual content and language. Running time: 110 minutes. One and a half
stars out of four.

[arr] Illayaraja Songs in ARR Chennai Concert??!!

2009-10-08 Thread Aravind AM
Hi all,

In today's Dinakaran Chennai Supplement, there's a news item about ARR's Oct-11 
Chennai concert where it is mentioned that songs of many composers including 
Illayaraja will be performed in the concert!

Screenshot of the article from Dinakaran Epaper - 
http://tinypic.com/r/2j2u890/4

No offence to IR, but I'm hoping this news is false and hoping this is a 
goof-up by Dinakaran. I would rather attend any other concert if i want to 
listen to other composer's songs... For me, an AR concert is something SPECIAL, 
some thing RARE and something TO BE TREASURED, and it should feature ONLY songs 
of our Boss... Those 3 hours are always MAGICAL, and each minute is PRECIOUS 
for me. I would want it to be filled only with ARR and only ARR!

Gops/Vijay can you please confirm this is false news! ;)

i posted already- no one replayed

 





Before i got the Blue CD i downloaded (enthusiastic) songs from some site 
·    When hearing the songs I felt some where music part high vocal low and 
vice versa 
·    Even though I liked Yaar mila, Bhoola tujhe and chiggy wiggy final 
part 
·    We know that our boss songs grow each time, so I played continuously 
(sony k530i) but unable to hear 
Two days back my friend given me blue songs (he said it is download from 
mp3axe.com) 

When I hearing songs I’m totally amazed
I felt I’m the happiest man In the world
I wonder how it is ripped , quality sounds….great
I am listening all the songs twice a day
  
* So don’t tell your song reviews without listening to original quality songs 
  
* Any one tell me how to rip good quality mp3 format 
  
* Which is the best ripping software (mp3), 
  
* 128 kbps, 44.100 Hz, Stereo format is the default in most software

Re: [arr] Why should I buy Original CD's by paying ??

2009-10-08 Thread Niven

Dear Ishaan,

I understand that getting a cd delivered to your country is expensive. But have 
you tries www.induna.com?

I have always been a huge mp3 downloader of rahman's music for years.  But 
since a year or so, i've been buying online to build up my collection of cd n 
dvd of rahman's masterpieces. Still sad that his tamil works are more hard to 
find. Induna has put bengali, telugu, marathi etc languages but still no 
tamil

As a fan of rahman, having his originals with the cd covers in your hand when 
listening to the cd is an experience I consider a priviledge. 

Encoded audio shows imperfection when listening on good audio systems. It takes 
many listening to depict the differences. Its most obvious in tracks with many 
layers and where he uses many effects.  Even at high bitrates, there are 
artifacts which spoil the aural pleasure. Also less soundscapes is present in 
encoded audio.

So my humble request is to make an effort and try to get originals as far as 
possible. try induna for its affordable prices.

Niven

 there many people, who can`t spend that money to buy an expensive album. and 
 if that is not all, in other country, to import an album through the net is 
 also expensive.
 
 so there are many fans, but it is also the cost what you are talking about.
 
 not everyone is rich, so what happens, if there is an original cd out, they 
 copy it, and you can not stop piracy.
 
 it can be an effect, but there is no stop for it.
 
  
 
 sorry but this the truth.

 Why should I buy original CD's ?
 When the music is available to download free of cost, why should we buy 
 original CD. After all, ARR (or any other musician) is rich. he is not going 
 to be affected by some ppl not buying. Right ? 
 
 ** WRONG **
 
 The money that you spend for the CD is not just for the primary artist. think 
 about all the other artists working with him. And the countless number of 
 people involved in the music industry. Their livelihood depends on the bucks 
 that we consider to be saving by downloading for free. If we want to keep 
 getting better  better stuff in terms of technology, it all depends on 
 whether we buy or not.
 
 The money that we put is not just going to help the music industry. What goes 
 around comes around ! The whole economy is benefited. Imagine if someone 
 thinks you don't have to be paid for 10 minutes of your work-week. Think what 
 you are missing  how it will impact others.
 
 So please always buy Original CD's  thank God for helping you afford it.

 Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan does not have any account on Twitter. Both the
 Twitter accounts (and more if any) impersonating her are indeed fake

 Moreover, logically and legally speaking, even if  anyone sings anything

Afro Nisha was an initial title for the cue for a biking sequence in the movie 
when the song is used. Later, in the final release, the cue title was changed 
to Kuru Kuru Kan. That still doesn't explain what Afro Nisha means, but I don't

[arr] The Hollywood reporter reviews Couples Retreat

2009-10-08 Thread hathim2

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/film-reviews/couples-retreat-film-review-1004020287.story

Couples Retreat - Film  Review

Bottom Line: This intermittently funny tale of four couples undergoing 
relationship therapy struggles hard for its occasional laughs.
A good idea for a sophisticated comedy lurks within the latest Jon 
Favreau-Vince Vaughn collaboration, Couples Retreat, but the filmmakers lack 
the courage of their convictions. So the payoff is mixed at best. The problem 
might lie in that word sophisticated. The current trends in film comedies are 
raunch and juvenilia, the very antithesis of sophistication.

When Favreau and Vaughn came to everyone's attention more than a dozen years 
ago with Swingers, they seemed to have the knack for making a guy movie that 
was both hip and empathetic about men's sexual insecurities. But the two don't 
quite reclaim that territory in Retreat, which could very well be a follow-up 
to that tale of randy twentysomething males about town, now married and 
experiencing varying degrees of marital stress.

Boxoffice potential is difficult to judge. Normally, a film involving either or 
both actors-writers-producers and (in Favreau's case) a director has strong 
commercial appeal. But the marital issues raised might puzzle or distract 
younger fans expecting sexual tease and potty humor.

In fact, Favreau and Vaughn suffer from the same distraction. There is sexual 
tease and potty humor here, the latter involving Vaughn's young son, and it's 
very funny. The sex stuff works less well and feels out of place among married 
people trying to work through legitimate issues couples face in real life. So 
the script the two wrote with fellow comedy writer Dana Fox gets pulled in 
opposite directions.

The idea is to send four couples off to an island paradise that serves as a 
retreat for couples experiencing relationship woes. One couple (Jason Bateman 
and Kristen Bell) is contemplating divorce.

The anchor couple, Vaughn and Malin Akerman, is a well-adjusted pair with kids, 
friends and busy lives. Another couple, Favreau and Kristin Davis, are more 
dysfunctional than they might realize, and the fourth couple barely qualifies 
as such. Faizon Love is newly divorced and has agreed to go along with his 
20-year-old girlfriend, Kali Hawk, whom he has just met.

The other three couples have come along as a favor to Bateman and Bell because 
this gives them a cut-rate deal at the island resort (shot in French 
Polynesia). But the imperious couples guru (Jean Reno) insists that everyone 
must participate or they can all leave with refunds. Predictably, once the 
shrinks and relationship experts go to work, no one's marriage is safe.

The best sections of the film deal with Vaughn and Akerman since it represents 
a critique of the relationship industry that is determined to justify its 
existence in finding problems even if none exists. The most problematic in 
comedic terms involves Favreau and Davis. No week at a couples retreat is going 
to solve their myriad problems.

Because the movie can't get stalled in therapy sessions, it does venture into 
the island for forced situation comedy involving a shark attack, an unlikely 
yoga session and a body massage where mixed signals result in an embarrassing 
male arousal. The real problem, though, is that the movie can't decide how 
seriously it wants to take its characters and their conflicts.

Producer-turned-director Peter Billingsley wisely turns the movie over to his 
talented cast. He and the writers can be faulted, however, for emphasizing the 
male characters over the women even if the title alone would seem to dictate 
more even-handed portrayals.

Tech credits are solid, with the film repping the American debut of Indian 
superstar film composer A. R. Rahman. His is an efficient though relatively 
unmemorable job, the only hint of his Indian roots coming in the almost 
superfluous sequences involving Reno's couples whisperer.

Capsule reviews: `Good Hair' and others
By The Associated Press
(AP)
– 9 hours ago
Capsule reviews of films opening this week:
Couples Retreat
— This is what life might have been like if the guys from Swingers
had grown up, moved to the suburbs and turned into lame, sitcommy
cliches. Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn team up again, on screen and on
the script (along with Dana Fox), for this broad comedy about four
couples who go on a tropical vacation together. In theory, they're all
there to support their friends Jason (Jason Bateman) and Cynthia
(Kristen Bell) as they try to save their marriage through the couples'
counseling the resort offers. Little do they know they'll get sucked
into agonizing therapy sessions that reveal their own rifts. Under the
direction of Peter Billingsley, another longtime Vaughn friend and
collaborator making his first feature, Couples Retreat veers back and
forth in a jarring way between crude sexual humor and supposedly
poignant moments. The couples endure forced nudity and a wildly erotic
yoga class; Favreau's character, Joey, and his wife Lucy (Kristin
Davis) each try to get it on with their respective massage therapists.
But they also must bare their souls. Each of these characters is
exactly the same person the whole way through, until one night when
they all magically experience an epiphany that makes them more
communicative, patient and loving. During such moments, a distracting,
feel-good score — surprisingly from Slumdog Millionaire Oscar-winner
A.R. Rahman — pipes in early and often. A few funny lines emerge here
and there, but Couples Retreat mostly feels repetitive and overlong
at nearly two hours. You wouldn't mind getting voted off this island.
PG-13 on appeal for sexual content and language. 110 min. One and a
half stars out of four.

 Afro Nisha was an initial title for the cue for a biking sequence in the

 changed to Kuru Kuru Kan. That still doesn't explain what Afro Nisha means,

 but I don't know any more. At least, it's not a singer who sounds like AR or

 a new pseudonym for AR.

 Hi Friends,

 I just bought ARR Tshirt for the live concert for Rs200. There was a small
 one day stall @ by office building.. I was checking for the Tshirst and got
 the Tshirt with ARR's sign in the back.

 The guy told me that he has stock with quite few numbers whoever wants
 to buy the Tshirts contact him @ 9677920043. I can't say the Tshirt is
 really good but... It is ok with me (anything for ARR... LOL) I have
 attached the TShirt photo with this mail for reference.

Re: [arr] 3 classics of our boss frm the last 10 releases.my thought

2009-10-08 Thread Gayathri Chandrakasan
3 classics from ARR's last 10 releases? Wow! That's tough to choose...but if I 
have to make a choice then it would be Jashn-e-bahara from Jodha Akhbar, 
Masakali from Delhi6 and Mausam  Escape from SDM. There were many others in 
fact, but for some very special resons, these 3 tracks have been quite close to 
my heart:) 

But speaking of classics, my all-time favorite track would definitely be Chinna 
Chinna Aasai from Roja. That particular song changed my whole perception of the 
Indian film music. I don't mean to undermine any MDs, but truthfully, til' 
Chinna Chinna Aasai happened, I never really had much interest in Indian music, 
regardless of whether it's Tamil, Hindi, Telugu etc. To me, the songs are there 
to complement the movie, nothing more. 

But Chinna Chinna Aasai changed all that. The whole song has a freshness in it! 
The tune was heavenly, the voice was mesmerising, the outcome was totally 
out-of-the-world! And I certainly don't think any heroine would have got a 
better introduction song than that. It's almost as if ARR had envisioned the 
whole song even before it was picturised. Perfect is just too lame a word to 
describe this song.

Before i got the Blue CD i downloaded (enthusiastic) songs from some site

vice versa 
·Even though I liked Yaar mila, Bhoola tujhe and chiggy wiggy final 
part 
·We know that our boss songs grow each time, so I played continuously 
(sony k530i) but unable to hear 
Two days back my friend given me blue songs (he said it is download from

When I hearing songs I’m totally amazed
I felt I’m the happiest man In the world
I wonder how it is ripped , quality sounds….great
I am listening all the songs twice a day

 Screenshot of the article from Dinakaran Epaper -

 No offence to IR, but I'm hoping this news is false and hoping this is a
 goof-up by Dinakaran. I would rather attend any other concert if i want to
 listen to other composer's songs... For me, an AR concert is something
 SPECIAL, some thing RARE and something TO BE TREASURED, and it should
 feature ONLY songs of our Boss... Those 3 hours are always MAGICAL, and each
 minute is PRECIOUS for me. I would want it to be filled only with ARR and
 only ARR!

You can always rip lossless mp3s or AACs to keep the sound quality close to the 
CD. There is also general agreement amongst audiophiles that 192 kbps is a rate 
that is close enough to the CD at the same time providing the convenience of 
lesser file size..

iPod stock earphones are horrible. Sennheiser, Grado or AKG are good low end 
audiophile quality headphones. If you have more money to shell you can consider 
the Shures, etymotic research and ultimate ears. These provide a divine mid and

[arr] No leak from Raavan: Rahman

2009-10-08 Thread $ Pavan Kumar $
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/music/No-leak-from-Raavan-Rahman/articleshow/5102242.cms

The film, which stars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai in lead roles in the 
Hindi version and Vikram and Aishwarya in the Tamil version, has music by Oscar 
winner A R Rahman. According to a post in the internet recently, a song — 
titled Kaadale... in the Tamil version — has been sung by the lead actress 
Aishwarya herself! 

However, music composer Rahman has denied that any such song features in the 
film. “Someone’s pulling a fast one,” is all he said. All eyes are on Raavan’s 
music as it will be the first album with the Mani Ratnam-Rahman combination 
that will be out after the composer’s double delight at the Oscars for Slumdog 
Millionaire. Besides Raavan, A R Rahman’s current projects include 
Rajinikanth’s Endhiran and Sultan, Couples Retreat and Vinaithaandi Varuvaaya.

Re: [arr] Re: Initial Couple's Retreat movie reviews, not so good :(

2009-10-08 Thread Gomzy™
90% people had wished to watch Yuvvraaj and Delhi 6. I wish I get those 6
hours of my life back.
Anyways Hollywood comedies are usually good. Critics over there are very
very harsh.

  I'm worried too, Sirish, but let's see what the common person says. I
 have also read some good reviews from those seeing the preview, saying that
 the movie is very funny. Anyway, regardless of the BO outcome of the movie,
 I hope ARR's score is appreciated by most, though I expect some snotty
 reviewers to pan it.

   This is the latest review excerpt i found on rottentomatoes site -
  
   http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/couples_retreat/
  
   To avoid paying for a holiday to hell, don't see Couples Retreat. A
 prime contender for 2009's Worst Film, this star-studded but startlingly
 drab comedy is the kind of terrible trip you pray will be over long before
 it's time to go home.
  
   Not a good sign. All 3 reviews out there have panned the movie big
 time...Lets hope the people prove critics wrong. I don't want Rahman's
 beautiful score to go for a crap movie.

Re: [arr] any 'Audiophiles' on this group?

2009-10-08 Thread Ravi Nair
Ever tried Iriver ? I had bought one way back in 2002 and was amazed with
the sound quality. I used to travel in Bombay local trains (if you know how
bad it is), but the headphones lasted for 5 years before it died. The player
still works and I have paired it with Sennhieser now, but problem is its
only 128 MB...during that time this size was good.

Not sure if they still maintain the quality.

 Honestly. iPOD headphones are horrible in reproduction. Buy any good
 sennhieser entry level is some 570 rupees. check the difference the same
 device gives. And no, there are not many things that will disappear in an
 MP3 when you covert. The fidelity suffers but it makes it up when you listen
 in a headphones environment.

   Was wondering Is iPod shuffle good enough to listen ARR's hidden stuffs
 ?? what would audiophiles rate iPod shuffle  it's Headphone  It works
 Only with the given Headphone Which is SUPERB I used to listen songs
 with my Microlab 4:1 Speakers and sometimes from My Nokia 3250 Music
 express with Nokia's Original Headphone  Sony MDR-EX700 Headphone With
 Nokia's Universal Headphone adaptor   I was impressed with Sony ...but
 now i realize iPod is way better than anything Money Talks ...and iPod
 works only with it's own headphone ...

 Give ur thoughts on iPod shuffle  Rahmanics Please !!!

Re: [arr] Illayaraja Songs in ARR Chennai Concert??!!

2009-10-08 Thread Gomzy™
false news in all probability.

 Hi all,

 In today's Dinakaran Chennai Supplement, there's a news item about ARR's
 Oct-11 Chennai concert where it is mentioned that songs of many composers
 including Illayaraja will be performed in the concert!

 Screenshot of the article from Dinakaran Epaper -
 http://tinypic.com/r/2j2u890/4

 No offence to IR, but I'm hoping this news is false and hoping this is a
 goof-up by Dinakaran. I would rather attend any other concert if i want to
 listen to other composer's songs... For me, an AR concert is something
 SPECIAL, some thing RARE and something TO BE TREASURED, and it should
 feature ONLY songs of our Boss... Those 3 hours are always MAGICAL, and each
 minute is PRECIOUS for me. I would want it to be filled only with ARR and
 only ARR!

 Gops/Vijay can you please confirm this is false news! ;)
