Re: [arr] WHERE DID THEY GET THESE SONGS
Gops et.al., the finger pointing has to stop, but there is certainly a point. Ofcourse Launch and Release are 2 different things, but i think it makes no sense to keep the 2 dates this apart. If you know what i mean, you will agree that with people expecting so much out of this : If a song is Launched -[ it means You have it production ready] and Ideally, every single fan including you would like to listen to it as well. I am not siding to the argument that it was gautam Menon's fault as i think there are others who made the decision. But certainly, this was a bad decision and one of the best discussions in the group. There is a lot for the industry to take from what we discussed here ! You lower the rate of a cd, Make it available as soon as [following weekend if not the next day] it was launched. I think the Logistics are fairly simple there and can be coordinated well - and the whole point is to stop people from deviating/trying other means to get hold of a song we love to listen to, considering 2009 was a No Tamil Song Year from rahman ! A day away and songs are amazing ! Its time for the reviews :) lets bring it on !

I will always be a die-hard rahmaniac but given the in-sensitiveness of producers i'd rather expect rahman's albums be released on his own KM label, than the commercial mindset of the producers, and i mean it !! When a movie is released WORLDWIDE, it means that all the theatres worldwide start to show the movie in the theater from that day onwards, isn't it and they do this after making sure that the copies of the movie are available in all the theatres. Latest example being AVATAR (Only an example), it doesn't mean when the home dvd's are available for general public !!! again, if the produers are not sure about the security of the songs, then why go ahead and release them in an alien country than the native country ?? VTV is a tamil album and it must be available first in a tamil-dominated area than in london !!! I have nothing against Rahman, he's a living legend, but against the promoters, producers, music companies (or whatever u call them) Vinod --- On *Sun, 1/10/10, Gopal Srinivasan catchg...@...* wrote: From: Gopal Srinivasan catchg...@...

The music was not released in London a month early. Nor have they been released on any digital distribution medium like Amazon or iTunes. The CDs have to be dispatched ahead of the release date (the 12th) in order to ensure a simultaneous release everywhere (without which too, fans would bay for the label's blood). Unfortunately, the distribution and retail trade in parts of India, South and South East Asia as well as Tamil-dominated pockets of Europe don't have the most secure systems and processes in place to prevent pilfering of CDs.

I've always wondered the rationale behind releasing the audio... and what it means.. when the audio is released it MUST be available to the listeners without any delay... any delay may cause the listeners to lose interest or even forget abt it or (as is in this case) download/share the audio from illegal sources... as far as i go its the producers to blame for not making the audio available for all.. Take me for instance, being a die hard rahmaniac, its been my principle to buy only original cds of all Rahman's albums... but the wait for couples retreat and vtv has been such that I am too tempted to download from the net... if this is the case with me, then i can imagine what would be going through other listeners !!

Hi Guys, This track truly is a masterpiece. This will be an instant hit among all. Without any exagerration: My wife recently had a brain hamorraphage and since then she is under selective memory loss.

Re: [arr] Ur suggestions to control piracy!!
I agree. To control piracy, the price of the CDs should be affordable. CDs costing Rs. 99 or Rs. 160 is still not affordable to buy on a regular basis. The audio CD of the recent film Kanden Kadhalai was sold at Rs. 27. Now that is smart pricing. The production house of KK is MoserBaer. And film songs now-a-days have shorter attention span. Meaning after a few listenings, you will conveniently forget the CD. The songs will be played over and over in TV channels and Radio stations. So you get tired of the songs in a few months. So the current pricing is what discourages people. By the way, I will be buying the VTV CD, but sad to see reviews on the music album even before the launch. This might affect the sales of the album.

Rahman's first album after the Oscars, will be powered by DCI Mobile Studios (a division of Galatta.com). Sony Music India's foray into the Tamil movie industry (Kollywood) has created many landmarks and milestones with some of the most successful and prestigious projects. And in yet another pioneering initiative, Sony Music India announced the global launch and world premiere of A.R. Rahman's most-anticipated and awaited soundtrack from *Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa* – meaning `Will you cross the skies for me?' – and abbreviated to *VTV*. What takes public anticipation to new heights is the fact that this is the first Tamil album from A.R. Rahman after his double Academy Award win and just before the Grammy Awards – scheduled for February 10. *VTV* stars Silambarasan (Simbhu) – touted as the next superstar in Kollywood – and beautiful Trisha Krishnan in the lead roles. The film is directed by Gautham Menon (whose previous Tamil film *Vaaranam Aayiram* was a critical, commercial and musical blockbuster with songs released by Sony Music). At the sneak music preview of *VTV* held in London on 19th December 2009, the entire cast and crew (including A.R. Rahman, Gautham Menon, Simbhu, Trisha and all the singers) were present. About this music preview, Gautham Menon said, London was a great experience. We had a live unplugged performance of all the songs by the singers who have sung in the album. The audience, mostly English, loved the music. Everybody felt it sounded very international, which was hardly surprising, considering it was music by A.R. Rahman. The intention was to reach and test the music on an international audience. We achieved more than that. We plan to do a road show with all the singers now. This was a first of it's kind show. Now the expectation about the film is tremendous and the pressure is on me now. The music of *VTV* will be released physically on CDs and cassettes across the world and via Amazon.com for online buyers. Digitally, *VTV* music will be available on iTunes, Nokia Store, and iPhone application from the first week of January. This unique activity for *VTV* will be executed through an iPhone music application (app) which will allow users to stream and listen to the complete songs, download the songs, wallpapers and other movie-related information. This initiative, a first-in-the-world for an iPhone application entirely based on movie OST by Sony Music, is the result of the joint efforts by Sony Music Entertainment India and DCI Mobile Studios, a leading Chennai-based software and mobile applications developer, a division of Galatta.com. The service will be available to all registered users of iPhone apps across the world. A user will be charged $1.99 for downloading the application, facilitating unlimited streaming of the songs from the album and $2.99 to download the whole album. Galatta.com has also taken steps to restrict unauthorized sharing of the content through this unique application. A user who downloads the songs on his iPhone or iPod will not be able to transfer it to any other (meaning unauthorized) device. Mr. Shridhar Subramaniam, Managing Director, Sony Music India, said, Sony Music has always been at the forefront of redefining music marketing. This initiative, which is a first in India, will enable a savvy generation of smart phone users to access streamed audio feeds over an active data connection. Our efforts have always been to make the music reach its audience as, when, and how they want to enjoy it. We are quite certain that A.R. Rahman's fans and lovers of his music will enjoy his genius through this application. Commenting on the

The music of Sivaji – The Boss - one of the highest selling Tamil albums of 2007, is no exception to this. The soundtrack, which sold over 2,000,000 copies in Tamil Nadu alone, is being released in Hindi by Sony Music. Composed by double Academy Award Winner and Grammy Nominee A R Rahman, the Hindi soundtrack hits the music stores in Jan 2010. The album features songs by leading singers like Udit Narayan, Hariharan, Javed Ali and A R Rahman himself. Shridhar Subramaniam, MD, Sony Music, said, “The A R Rahman - Shankar combination has given several blockbusters through the years, which have been nationally and internationally acclaimed. When you add Rajnikanth’s legendary star power to this, the result is phenomenal. The music of Sivaji is very unique and was a massive hit in Tamil. We feel this music will appeal to fans of this brand of cinema and music all over the world. Sony Music is distributing the Hindi OST of Sivaji – The Boss across the globe, and expect it to work wonders in UK, USA and Middle East – where A R Rahman has a huge fan following. Sony Music has made the album all the more attractive by adding some bonus A R Rahman hits from blockbusters like Lagaan, Rang De Basanti and Guru amongst others. Sony are also distributing the much anticipated Tamil soundtrack, Vinnaithaandi varuvaaya, also by AR Rahman, out soon. Sivaji – The Boss was one of the biggest blockbusters of 2007. Made on a budget of Rs. 600 million, the movie went to gross a massive Rs. 4500 million. This was Superstar Rajnikanth’s 100th Tamil movie. In UK, it debuted at No. 9 on the UK Top 10, making it the first Tamil movie ever to break into the UK top 10. *Track List* *Ballelakka* Singers : Javed Ali, Raihana Lyrics: PK Mishra *Vaaji Vaaji* Singers : Hariharan, Madhushree Lyrics: PK Mishra *Style* Singers : Rags, Tanvi, Suresh Peters Lyrics: Nitin Raikwar *Aandhiki Tarha* Singers : A.R.Rahman, Sayonara Lyrics: Raqueeb Alam *Suhana Sama* Singers : Udit Narayan, Chinamyi Lyrics: Iqbal Pathni *The Boss* Singers : Blaaze, Naresh, Raqueeb Alam Lyrics: Nitin Raikwar *Suhana Sama (Version 2)* Singers : Udit Narayan, Chinmayi Lyrics: Iqbal Pathni The Thamarai team encourage you to buy the soundtrack legally, thus helping eradicate piracy. http://www.thamarai.com/news-details.php?id=53 -- regards, Vithur

So, quick availability at all places will help in reducing the piracy. -- And I really wonder why we can't do anything against those so many sites that allow free download of almost anything.

Re: [arr] Re: VTV Songs on the Net
Actually, I'm fed up with all this piracy thing...I sat down and did some basic research in the internet to understand the facts how other countries are managing this...Fact is, inspite of being uploaded in almost all torrent sites on day 1 of their official release, movies like Twilight and Pirates of Carribean topped the sales charts and created records...So where does the problem lie if there are significant number of users who are willing to buy and own what they love? In the US and European countries, though there are physical releases, there were also prompt digital releases online. Initially, I was against the digital releases owing to poor quality but later realized how much that will help the end user if you get something so handy that can instantly play on your portables...People hear start reviewing the album after listening to 30 sec promos! Imagine won't they buy it digitally on day 1 to listen the whole song which is better than the youtube versions available?? If you really need something more to enjoy in your Hi-Fi systems, you have an option of buying a CD / DVD in addition to it but atleast you can wait to lay your hands on the cd patiently as you have already got something to enjoy...It's time for the music labels to act smartly and move forward...Let's unite as a single team and pledge that we will support every hardworking musician for all the entertainment that we get through them...This would ideally make piracy a non-event...Clearly, It's a war against Pirates and Music lovers...Now you decide who should win!

[arr] 8 top Bollywood singers for Enthiran?
Shankar and expensive sets have always been synonymous. We have seen it before in Anniyan and Sivaji. So, will Endhiran be left out? No! Endhiran team is planning to create an extravagant set to shoot a song. What is so special about this song is that director Shankar and art director Thotta Tharani have made extra efforts. The Shankar - Thotta Tharani combo has worked exceptionally well and Thotta Tharani is also behind the the fascinating, dream-like set created for the song 'va ji va ji' for Sivaji. Rumor also has it that AR Rahman has plans to rope in about eight top Bollywood singers to croon for his music. So the set will be a complement to the song, we hear.

[arr] Decade in Analysis-VII (Glamsham writeup on Rahman)
http://www.glamsham.com/movies/features/10/jan/11-decade-in-analysis-7-011010.asp Decade in Analysis-VII January 11, 2010 4:28:58 PM IST Enkayaar, Bollywood Trade News Network Continuing with our feature decade in analysis, today's column would like to put under spotlight A. R. Rahman, who has literally catapulted the Indian music to an international platform and has opened the door for more Indian music directors to aspire to go international through his music. January is also the month in which Rahman celebrates his birthday, and therefore it is a double whammy to interpret Rahman's rise through the decade. A.R. Rahman: Allah Ka Banda in BANDAGI with music He has only attained 44 years of age but has achieved so much in his field i.e. music that by the time he decides to hang his baton he would create such benchmarks in the field of music that it would be difficult to emulate. Such is his prowess with the western instruments, that TIME magazine had conferred on him the title of Mozart from Madras. He is also one of the rare music directors who have been featured on the cover story of news magazines underlining the fact that indeed he is a master whose feat would be a tough task to emulate. 2009 has been the year that has emerged as triumph of his perseverance to the cause of music. If music is creative presentation of sounds in such a manner that the auditory nerves may be swept of the feet, Rahman has indeed become a wizard of music. The decade that has gone by is indeed a decade in which Rahman experimented with all kinds of sound, and there never was a year in which Rahman's music did not make its presence in an impacted manner. The decade started with LAGAAN where Rahman brought out sounds from the rural hinterland of the country and also created one of the most enduring bhajans in the form of O paalan haare, deconstructing the notion built around Rahman that he was a music director who could bring out forgotten sounds from the Indian musical instruments as well, as he did in this song. In fact the decade began on a classical note for Rahman with LAGAAN and he swept all the awards that year. LAGAAN was followed by SAATHIYA, which again set the imagination of nation on fire with the fusion of Sanskrit shlokas to the thump of nodes of piano. SAATHIYA brought Gulzar for the first time with Rahman and the chemistry that was created between Rahman and Gulzar was the platform indeed that paved the way for Oscars in SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. SAATHIYA also affirmed the reach of Rahman to the youth of the country, as his music for this film attained immense popularity among the youth of the country. Rahman again returned to the folk music of the villages with SWADES followed by WATER consolidating his position as a music director who was constantly on the lookout for innovative sounds to mesmerize the audience and create the impact. Indeed he set the nation on fire once again with RANG DE BASANTI whose popularity was not only relegated to the youth but whole nation was engulfed in its kaleidoscopic colors. Be it Loose control, or Rubaroo or for that matter the pangs of a mother, music of RDB caught the imagination of the country unheard off in the recent memory. One of the specialties of Rahman has been to create music using the water as a source or building his music around the water bodies. One wonders whether Rahman is provided the backdrop against which he has to set the music. He catapulted himself into the imagination of nation with his debut song Dil hi choata sa, in ROZA, which he overhauled with Haaji Ali in FIZA and he again showed his penchant for sounds associated with water in GURU with na na na nana re which fetched him scores of awards once again. Interesting pattern of Rahman's music in the decade has been his flipping between western sounds and returning back to the Indian acoustics in contrasts. So JODHAA AKBAR and JAANE TU YA JAANE NA followed RDB. For Rahman this was a first large scale historical film and his music representing the period of the Mughal era was also responsible for the immense popularity that the film enjoyed all over the country and even outside. Rahman also stepped into the Broadway music when he gave the music for BOMBAY DREAMS. His association with the BOMBAY DREAMS opened up the window for him to tell the world the immensely diversified talent that he was blessed with. Music of DELHI-6 created another milestone for him, as he came up with one of the most exquisite qawallis in the recent times Maula Maula. Genda Phool from the same album was an example of the Indian hip hop set to the tune of classical folk, and while the film was not a big hit, its music gave his fans a choice to relive in the glory of old Delhi. The decade came to an end with a fitting triumphant for him in the form of an Oscar for SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. No wonder he has been awarded as the

I think pricing not that much an issue, give and take 50 rupees. In hyderabad i have seen audio cds being launched for 35 rupees. Rahman's tamil cds used to cost higer than its telugu dubbed versions. But piracy prevailed equally high in both language versions. I think music companies wud cash in on a certain premium when its rahman.or someone big. That said, some guys have tried this so called copy proof cds. I remember the disc for kabhi alvida na kehna said it so on the inlay card. Nothing worked. Its an issue of attitudes. A small compund wall does mean u can jump over.

For any technology there will be crackers who can break that technology. Just one person need to crack that and put that on net and people will download from there, and share the links, and then they will also upload to other places under their own upload names to get free hits. So, controlling thru technology is not really likely to be effective. It is an ethical issue, I think. Distribution is also very important ... If m crazy abt listening a ARR Album and m not getting in my near shops .. I dont have any choice to go for piracy ...For so many reasons Online Shopping isnt preferable to me .. :-) Exactly. A hype gets developed and everyone wants to listen it fast. So, when CDs don't become available even people who are determined on buying legal music, can't control themselves and go to download pirated music. So, quick availability at all places will help in reducing the piracy. -- And I really wonder why we can't do anything against those so many sites that allow free download of almost anything. There has to be some law already in effect. We just need to pull the right string.

Most ARR fans (including Karthik) are crazy to own the CD sleeve and at the same time restless to listen to the songs ASAP. As far as the quality of these mp3s are concerned, I downloaded some at 320 (odd) kbps). that is pretty good to guage ARR's work on an album. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, satish_srini satish_sr...@... wrote: I am with Suresh on this matter.

Re: [arr] 8 top Bollywood singers for Enthiran?
Not sure how true could this be. I saw Sabu Cyril in the on-spot Endhiran location pictures so I wonder whether Thotta Tharani is involved. But there are chances that Shankar might involve both of 'em. On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 7:11 PM, juliencristobal juliencristo...@yahoo.frwrote: Shankar and expensive sets have always been synonymous. We have seen it before in Anniyan and Sivaji. So, will Endhiran be left out? No! Endhiran team is planning to create an extravagant set to shoot a song. What is so special about this song is that director Shankar and art director Thotta Tharani have made extra efforts. The Shankar - Thotta Tharani combo has worked exceptionally well and Thotta Tharani is also behind the the fascinating, dream-like set created for the song 'va ji va ji' for Sivaji. Rumor also has it that AR Rahman has plans to rope in about eight top Bollywood singers to croon for his music. So the set will be a complement to the song, we hear.

Re: [arr] Hosanna Composition = Awesomesness
YES! The power of music, the power that is Rahman, the magic within Hosanna. It is beyond awesomness.

[arr] My Complete Review of VTV's Music
First of all, I do not support piracy. I wanted to wait until Tuesday before hearing the songs and eventually writing a review, but the weaker part of me got the upper hand this time and I caved in. Please forgive me. I assure you that I did order the CD from Amazon and awaiting that in the mail. If there's a distinct trend that I see in ARR's music over time, it's his reduced emphasis on musical adventurism and acrobatics and increased emphasis on subtle musical forms within a composition, often perceived subjectively as not living up to his own standards. I don't agree with that notion since it's ARR who recreates his own standards with each release, just like destroying his own ego before a compositional session. The burden of responsibility to recognize this is up to the listener, who may be challenged and confounded by expectations and biases, which is normal and natural. Again, these are trends only and just from my observational standpoint...nothing is black and white or exclusionary. This trend may be a function of two forces: 1)Age (emphasizing more of a gestaltic perspective) 2) Progressive evolution as part of a unique artist whose mindset is bent on conceptual expansion and really trying hard to avoid being typecasted, escaping from his own set trails to form new and distinct roads. The music of VTV is a major step in AR's evolutionary process as an artist who's never content with the status quo, or even his own previous success. Remember, it's the artist over the entertainer, and in VTV, it's the pure artist within ARR, even beyond musician, that is in the driver's seat. I will not comment on the lyrics since I don't understand Tamil. 1) Omanna Penne: Steady and soothing.a composition that oozes with spiritualness and introspection. I love how AR juxtaposes the Western rhythms with the Carnatic raagas first by the female voice, and weaving throughout the stylistic Nadaswaram, whose roots are deeply carnatic, but expressed so universally in this track. Wonderful singing by Benny and the Nadaswaram ending is surely a page from the Rehna Tu continuum outro. Nothing fancy in this composition, but the feeling left behind is extrenmely elevating and cleansing. Fantastic start. (8/10) 2) Anbil Avan: ARR at his playful best. He must have had a lot of fun putting this track together. There is nothing heavy or mindblowing about this track, but what makes it work for me is the joyful innocence in the melody and the very interesting sonic arrangements using a Shehnai type sound juxtaposed with a church organ sound. The musical interlude that has this also has some very nice, quick chord progressions that defy banality. The melody sticks easy and would be a fun song to dance with. (7/10) 3) Vinnathaandi Varuvaayaa: Wow..what a minimalistic impact! Minimalistic impact is something that I have been missing from Rahman's ouevre in recent films, but here it is, in its full glory and form. Using a minimalistic sound template for a title song is quite bold and outside the box, but boy does it work for me!!! The acoustic strings (guitar? harp?) along with vibes and small bells create such a unique, peaceful ambience in this song that transports me into a dreamlike world. Beautiful string additions in the mid section only add depth to amazing vocals, chords, and heartfelt emotions in this gem, but likely to be underrated track. Delicate, subtle, dreamy, ambient, soft, restrained, soothing, warming.I can go on and on. Again, a track doesn't have to be complex and adventursome to be powerfulthis is the genius of ARhe can create such a powerful ambience using minimal quantity. (8/10) 4) Hosana: There is no other composer in India who can arrange better than AR. In this song, many of AR's strengths are showcased.sound structure, layered, thick, yet uncluttered arrangements, symphonic textures, haunting melody, soothing ambience. The sound layers are so clean and crispthat beautiful strumming acoustic guitar is so nice!!! Also worthy of metion is the high toned Scottish flavored flute and the subtle mandolin rhythms in sync with the main rhythms, punctuated by the pulsating string sections. The female choir with the angelic expression is one of the most beautiful choir sounds I've heard. This song sticks to you and won't let go. A complete masterpiece IMO that is one of the best songs that ARR has composed in recent years. (9/10) 5) Kunnukkul Kannai Another playful techno oriented track with some pleasing electronic arrangements. The unique feature of this track for me are the string quartet type rhythmic accents throughout that give this youth song a very Western classical feel. Relatively simple by composition and sound, but again, a nice dance number with good melody. Rahman not living up to his standards on this one? Well, that's up to you to decide, but it's an enjoyable one for me,
Re: [arr] Re: VTV CD Cover
No it is not. Audio CD stores files in raw WAV format. MP3 takes this raw file and compresses it to reduce file size. There are 2 types of compression techniques. Lossless and Lossy. MP3 uses lossy compression algorithm, which means it will discard some bits of data from the audio file while encoding to create a smaller sized file. If you convert an MP3 file back to WAV, the difference in quality will be huge. I am sure you have used ZIP compression system on various files. Like for example zipping a Word document (DOC) file to email it to someone and then that receiver unzipping it to get the original DOC file. That happens because ZIP is a lossless compression format. Imagine if ZIP used lossy system like MP3. You will send a letter as zipped DOC file to a friend. He will unzip and open the DOC file only to find half the words missing in the letter. But he will still be able to understand the contents of the letter because he can easily fill up the blanks with probable words. But that doesn't mean he is reading the letter as intended by you. In the end he may understand the letter but it may not contain the same words you wrote before zipping it. This is what happens with songs on MP3. You will listen to MP3 and believe you heard the song. But when it is composed by someone like AR who arranges multiple layers with minutest detailing, chances are you will miss a good amount of detail just because MP3 as a format is not capable of preserving it. And I am not talking about just 128 kbps MP3 here. The maximum bit rate attainable for MP3 is 320 kbps and yet it will not come anywhere near the quality of original CD. Therefore always listen to songs in original CDs, like the way the composer intended it to. Don't let MP3 decide which part of the song you should listen and which you shouldn't. Don't allow MP3 to take away all the joy of listening to those soulful compositions, that too for a measly Rs. 99. And if you are like me who listens on PC and is lazy to put in CDs every time you want to listen to, here is what you should do. 1. Buy the original CD first (there is no legal alternative to this). 2. Rip the songs from CD into lossless FLAC format. 3. Listen to them in your favorite software music player. Some of them support FLAC by default, while others have free plugin to enable playback. 4. Rediscover what you have been missing all those years on those CD quality MP3 songs. For those who are wondering how to convert an audio CD to FLAC file, here is a good pictorial guide. http://www.teqnilogik.com/tutorials/eac.shtml Naveen On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 7:09 PM, sriramvr_in sriramvr...@yahoo.com wrote: 128 kbps mp3 encoding itself is cd quality. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com arrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com, Gomzy™ gomtesh.upad...@... wrote: WAV is better than MP3.

The bitrate for audio cds according to the Red Book Standard is calculated as follows= The bitrate of audio CD is calculated by muliplying the sampling rate by the resolution by the number of channels: 44.1 kHz X 16 bit X 2 chan. = 1,411 kbps (Kilo Bits Per Second) So pls do not be mistaken that 128kbps is CD quality.

Re: [arr] Re: VTV Songs on the Net
In US or UK once you start downloading a new movie/album from Torrents, in 90% cases you'll receive a call from your 'Internet Provider' saying it's a violation of law and you'll get warning. But it's not happening for any Indian Movie or music album due to unawareness of the owner of the rights. If they start doing this in India and abroad piracy can be handled. For that 'internet providers' in India also should be well equipped... Otherwise now a days the entire CD in original WAV format is available everywhere..so one shouldn't be bothered about Quality to buy the original... Arijit 2010/1/11 Madhavan Rajan rsamadhu2...@gmail.com Actually, I'm fed up with all this piracy thing...I sat down and did some basic research in the internet to understand the facts how other countries are managing this...Fact is, inspite of being uploaded in almost all torrent sites on day 1 of their official release, movies like Twilight and Pirates of Carribean topped the sales charts and created records...So where does the problem lie if there are significant number of users who are willing to buy and own what they love? In the US and European countries, though there are physical releases, there were also prompt digital releases online. Initially, I was against the digital releases owing to poor quality but later realized how much that will help the end user if you get something so handy that can instantly play on your portables...People hear start reviewing the album after listening to 30 sec promos! Imagine won't they buy it digitally on day 1 to listen the whole song which is better than the youtube versions available?? If you really need something more to enjoy in your Hi-Fi systems, you have an option of buying a CD / DVD in addition to it but atleast you can wait to lay your hands on the cd patiently as you have already got something to enjoy...It's time for the music labels to act smartly and move forward...Let's unite as a single team and pledge that we will support every hardworking musician for all the entertainment that we get through them...This would ideally make piracy a non-event...Clearly, It's a war against Pirates and Music lovers...Now you decide who should win!

The Shankar - Thotta Tharani combo has worked exceptionally well and Thotta Tharani is also behind the the fascinating, dream-like set created for the song 'va ji va ji' for Sivaji. Rumor also has it that AR Rahman has plans to rope in about eight top Bollywood singers to croon for his music. So the set will be a complement to the song, we hear.

[arr] Re: My VTV review!
Nice review! Thanks! --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, juliencristobal juliencristo...@... wrote: My VTV review after 5-6 hearings: As I am not fluent in Tamil, I am not going to comment on the lyrics. 1) Omana Penne. This song starts beautifully with small bells followed by heavy bass. The composition seems really simple at the beginning but it's really difficult one to compose. Benny's voice is modulated and it adds to create a very unique feeling to it. No other than Benny would have been able to sing this song giving the same feeling (RnB style). However if you listen carefully you know that you are listening to an indian song due to the nadaswaram that is played from 0:45. A.R.Rahman has mixed a lot of different rhythms that makes this song unique. Kalyani makes her apparition in the of the middle song singing in Malayalam in a classical way: the listener is sent back to the 60's but modern rhythm are still being played. It's a superb anachronism. Benny vocal is back and more weird sounds are joining the song. Later, a short nadaswaram interlude is played quickly join by this modulate Benny! 10/10 2) What type of song is that? A techno/electro track? A semi-classical song? Who cares, the sound is unique! Anbil Avan starts with some notes played in a synthesizer that are quickly blend with traditionnal drums and choir. Devan starts the song with: anbil avan followed by very short sentences that leave a great effect on the listener. Chinmayi sings a few lines but the moment both Devan and Chinmayi sing together is very pleasant to the ears (1:24-1:29). After a brief humming from Chinmayi, from nowhere a wedding march is played by a pipe organ. Immediately after, the traditional south Indian nadaswaram is heard. Where are we in a church for a Christian wedding or a temple for a Hindu one? It's up to the listener imagination The song is very innovative and the mood set by the song is totally different from the other songs. A feel good song all the way thanks to A.R.Rahman catchy tune. Listening to Devan and Chinmayi (who at times sounds like Vasundhra Das) I am sure they had fun while recording the song! 9.5/10 3) Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. This song seems to be played in someone 's dream who imagines his beloved coming to him walking down a grey sky. The minimal use of music instruments helps to underline Karthik's magnificent vocal in this soft and romantic song that will have the same effect on the listener as A.R.Rahman `s En Swase Kaatre title track. The light guitar notes are enchanting. A.R.Rahman hasn't used the guitar so beautifully since Vellai Pukkal (Kannathil Muthamittal) and Khamosh Raat (Takshak) but the best part of the song is between 1:37-2:21 : pure divine! A special mention as well for the back vocalist who compliments Karthik's voice perfectly. Flip side: too short!! 10/10 4) Hosanna. This song is my favourite it is what we can call vintage A.R.Rahman. When I saw on arrahman.com a few weeks back that this song was sung by Vijay Prakash I was upset as I loved Srinivas rendition seen on youtube during the London music launch . However, Vijay is just as good as Srinivas! So what is so special about this song? EVERYTHING! What a song! A flute here, a violin and cello there, plus a guitar on the other hand and some pre-recorded rhythms create an heavenly atmosphere. No wonder the song is called Hosanna. The song progression is also very impressive from a very few instruments with Vijay Vocal singing: En ithayam, unaithaan norunggave, En maru ithayam, tharuven nee udaikave the song ends with the same lines but an explosion of sounds tell you that you have reached Heaven (is the bell at the very end a clue?). The vocals are equally good! Suzanne is at her seductive best (I love the way the sang Dreams on Fire in Slumdog Millionaire) with some very relaxing humming that invite you to some peaceful place (2:31- 3:16) . Vijay Prakash sounds very different when he sings En ithayam, unaithaan norunggave, En maru ithayam, tharuven nee udaikave where his voice is very soft and during the rest of the song where is voice is almost rough/rustic at some moment like Kailash Kher (3:24-3:29). Regarding Blaaze what to say? I was surprised to see Blaaze in such a song but A.R.Rahman included the rap in such a way that you won't even notice the change of singer. 11/10 5) Kannukul Kannai. The song has a really international appeal to it and has shades (music wise) of Yaakai Thiri 0:49-1:18 ( Ayitha Ezuthu) as well as Kelamal Kaiyile (ATM) but still it's different. Naresh Iyer sings the song with a lot of aplomb and in a very fast way. The moment that catches my attention the most is between 1:46 and 2:45 min where music and vocal reach the sky (pun intended): baring the vocal, we are not listening to a tamil song! I am sure the song is more

Re: [arr] Re: VTV CD Cover
Thanks a lot Naveen.. Much appreciated. On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 10:11 AM, Naveen Naushad navee...@gmail.com wrote: No it is not. Audio CD stores files in raw WAV format. MP3 takes this raw file and compresses it to reduce file size. There are 2 types of compression techniques. Lossless and Lossy. MP3 uses lossy compression algorithm, which means it will discard some bits of data from the audio file while encoding to create a smaller sized file. If you convert an MP3 file back to WAV, the difference in quality will be huge. I am sure you have used ZIP compression system on various files. Like for example zipping a Word document (DOC) file to email it to someone and then that receiver unzipping it to get the original DOC file. That happens because ZIP is a lossless compression format. Imagine if ZIP used lossy system like MP3. You will send a letter as zipped DOC file to a friend. He will unzip and open the DOC file only to find half the words missing in the letter. But he will still be able to understand the contents of the letter because he can easily fill up the blanks with probable words. But that doesn't mean he is reading the letter as intended by you. In the end he may understand the letter but it may not contain the same words you wrote before zipping it. This is what happens with songs on MP3. You will listen to MP3 and believe you heard the song. But when it is composed by someone like AR who arranges multiple layers with minutest detailing, chances are you will miss a good amount of detail just because MP3 as a format is not capable of preserving it. And I am not talking about just 128 kbps MP3 here. The maximum bit rate attainable for MP3 is 320 kbps and yet it will not come anywhere near the quality of original CD. Therefore always listen to songs in original CDs, like the way the composer intended it to. Don't let MP3 decide which part of the song you should listen and which you shouldn't. Don't allow MP3 to take away all the joy of listening to those soulful compositions, that too for a measly Rs. 99. And if you are like me who listens on PC and is lazy to put in CDs every time you want to listen to, here is what you should do. 1. Buy the original CD first (there is no legal alternative to this). 2. Rip the songs from CD into lossless FLAC format. 3. Listen to them in your favorite software music player. Some of them support FLAC by default, while others have free plugin to enable playback. 4. Rediscover what you have been missing all those years on those CD quality MP3 songs. For those who are wondering how to convert an audio CD to FLAC file, here is a good pictorial guide. http://www.teqnilogik.com/tutorials/eac.shtml Naveen On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 7:09 PM, sriramvr_in sriramvr...@yahoo.comwrote: 128 kbps mp3 encoding itself is cd quality. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com arrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com, Gomzy™ gomtesh.upad...@... wrote: WAV is better than MP3.

Re: [arr] My Complete Review of VTV's Music
c'mon Chord.. Hosanna - 9 Omana pennae = 8 ?? They both deserve 1 notch Higher. Hosanna takes me on a dream. btw, I also favored Amazon to iTunes.. nothing matches a real Hard cover CD :) On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 10:44 AM, ichord purev...@yahoo.com wrote: First of all, I do not support piracy. I wanted to wait until Tuesday before hearing the songs and eventually writing a review, but the weaker part of me got the upper hand this time and I caved in. Please forgive me. I assure you that I did order the CD from Amazon and awaiting that in the mail. If there's a distinct trend that I see in ARR's music over time, it's his reduced emphasis on musical adventurism and acrobatics and increased emphasis on subtle musical forms within a composition, often perceived subjectively as not living up to his own standards. I don't agree with that notion since it's ARR who recreates his own standards with each release, just like destroying his own ego before a compositional session. The burden of responsibility to recognize this is up to the listener, who may be challenged and confounded by expectations and biases, which is normal and natural. Again, these are trends only and just from my observational standpoint...nothing is black and white or exclusionary. This trend may be a function of two forces: 1)Age (emphasizing more of a gestaltic perspective) 2) Progressive evolution as part of a unique artist whose mindset is bent on conceptual expansion and really trying hard to avoid being typecasted, escaping from his own set trails to form new and distinct roads. The music of VTV is a major step in AR's evolutionary process as an artist who's never content with the status quo, or even his own previous success. Remember, it's the artist over the entertainer, and in VTV, it's the pure artist within ARR, even beyond musician, that is in the driver's seat. I will not comment on the lyrics since I don't understand Tamil. 1) Omanna Penne: Steady and soothing.a composition that oozes with spiritualness and introspection. I love how AR juxtaposes the Western rhythms with the Carnatic raagas first by the female voice, and weaving throughout the stylistic Nadaswaram, whose roots are deeply carnatic, but expressed so universally in this track. Wonderful singing by Benny and the Nadaswaram ending is surely a page from the Rehna Tu continuum outro. Nothing fancy in this composition, but the feeling left behind is extrenmely elevating and cleansing. Fantastic start. (8/10) 2) Anbil Avan: ARR at his playful best. He must have had a lot of fun putting this track together. There is nothing heavy or mindblowing about this track, but what makes it work for me is the joyful innocence in the melody and the very interesting sonic arrangements using a Shehnai type sound juxtaposed with a church organ sound. The musical interlude that has this also has some very nice, quick chord progressions that defy banality. The melody sticks easy and would be a fun song to dance with. (7/10) 3) Vinnathaandi Varuvaayaa: Wow..what a minimalistic impact! Minimalistic impact is something that I have been missing from Rahman's ouevre in recent films, but here it is, in its full glory and form. Using a minimalistic sound template for a title song is quite bold and outside the box, but boy does it work for me!!! The acoustic strings (guitar? harp?) along with vibes and small bells create such a unique, peaceful ambience in this song that transports me into a dreamlike world. Beautiful string additions in the mid section only add depth to amazing vocals, chords, and heartfelt emotions in this gem, but likely to be underrated track. Delicate, subtle, dreamy, ambient, soft, restrained, soothing, warming.I can go on and on. Again, a track doesn't have to be complex and adventursome to be powerfulthis is the genius of ARhe can create such a powerful ambience using minimal quantity. (8/10) 4) Hosana: There is no other composer in India who can arrange better than AR. In this song, many of AR's strengths are showcased.sound structure, layered, thick, yet uncluttered arrangements, symphonic textures, haunting melody, soothing ambience. The sound layers are so clean and crispthat beautiful strumming acoustic guitar is so nice!!! Also worthy of metion is the high toned Scottish flavored flute and the subtle mandolin rhythms in sync with the main rhythms, punctuated by the pulsating string sections. The female choir with the angelic expression is one of the most beautiful choir sounds I've heard. This song sticks to you and won't let go. A complete masterpiece IMO that is one of the best songs that ARR has composed in recent years. (9/10) 5) Kunnukkul Kannai Another playful techno oriented track with some pleasing electronic arrangements. The unique feature of this track for me are the string quartet type rhythmic accents throughout that give this youth song a

[arr] AR Rahman kicks off the decade with a mindblowing masterpiece!
Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya left me speechless!...this is THE most experimental album AR Rahman with one album..ARR has outdone all the previous works of the Harris-Gautham combo (not an insult to that combo...it's one of my favorites...the best track of the album is Aaromale...WOWthere has never been a song like this int he history of Indian music.AR Rahman has done it AGAIN..and based on my initial impressions..this is his best album since Kangalal Kaidhu Sei (maybe one of his top 10-15) 9.5-10/10 Thank you ARR for continuing evolving my musical tastes with your priceless compositions!

Did Gautam Vasudev Menon forget to put the question mark in the movie's title? Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya? :-)
[arr] VTV's Singing Performances Needed to be Mentioned.
The singing in VTV is absolutely top notch, a point that I mistakenly excluded from my comp review earlier. From Benny to Shreya, to our own ARR, to Karthik, to Alphonse, to Naresh, Chinmayi.all of themabsolutely one of the best singing performances in an album I've heard in a long time. My previous review focused on the music, but the singing needed to be mentioned too. In fact, I would say that Shreya's singing is a career highlight for her, and what can be said about Alphonse? Is this guy for real? Aaromale is awesomely sung!!!
