[arr] Re: 'That's not the way to sing Vande Mataram'
Right, its different composition and different lyrics. By the way, there is Vande Mataram by Usha Utthup as well (in movie Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham, lyrics by Bankim Chandar Chatterjee) and she also sings like 'Vand Mataram' 100% agree with your last statement - 'The old composers have done some great work, but they didnt come in outright praise of rahman in public..which is sad!' --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, wiredbeats wrote: > > all these guys...i mean ALL OF THEM.. miss an important point..Rahman did'nt > sing Vande Mataram of Bankim Chandra chaterjee .

[arr] Loudness war destroying the audio quality
http://s831.photobucket.com/albums/zz231/deva4abc/?action=view¤t=wave.jpg Folks make a look on the two waveforms of the song strawberry kanne from minsarakanavu. First wave form is of the song ripped from original AVM CD. Second is a prereleased one. The first AVM ripped song is very louder than the second one. But the waveform is completly clipped through out the length and having no quality. The second one is having high quality. See how the loudness war killed the quality of songs in AVM CD. My request to these music releasing companies is that please dont destroy these gems of our boss..
[arr] Re: There simply is no comparison
Very true. With hit after hit soundtrack delievered in last 2 years, Rahman is definitely at the peak of his career. Re: Other music directors - SEL have been quite disappointing recently. I think only Vishal Bhardwaj has been consistent. I absolutely agree with Saawariya - it is one of my all time non-ARR favorite soundtrack. It is sad that post Saawariya he hasnt given one single good soundtrack and didnt live up to my expectations.

[arr] As of today, rank order these ARR sung songs
Here I go with my rankings again...:-) According to me, these are the top 6 AR Rahman sung songs (note I'm basing the ratings based on the quality of the whole song, not just AR's singing) Yeh Jo Desh Hai Tera Vellai Pookal Vande Mataram Dil Se Re Khwaja Mere Khwaja Rehna Tu Ok..now, rank em! Here's mine (only for today...subject to change in time) 1) Rehna Tu 2) Dil Se Re 3) Vande Mataram 4) Khwaja Mere Khwaja 5) Vellai Pookal 6) Yeh Jo Desh Hai Tera
[arr] There simply is no comparison
I've been listening to a compilation CD I made for myself of all my favorite ARR tunes since 2008...the past 2 years. Mindblowing experience to say the last...Jodha Akbar, Slumdog, Yuvvraaj, Ada, Jaane Tu, Ghajini, Delhi 6, Blue, Couple's Retreat, VTV, Sakkrakatti. I also like to tune into other MD's works in India...Vishal B, SEL, VS, somtimes Amit Trivedi, sometimes Monty Sharma (his Saawariya is still one of my favorites), sometimes Pritam, rarely Himesh, Anu Malik. ARR's music is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition...there simply is no comparison and it's pretty obvious and goes without saying. Actually, apart from a few albums and songs, like Ishqiya from Vishal B, and other non film albums from Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Shafqat Amanat Ali, Kailash Kher, I have not at all been too impressed with film music output of late besides ARR's work. It's quite disappointing. As an avid and passionate AR fan, I can truly say I love his music the most, and of course, that's a biased perspective. But, even as an objective music lover, AR's music towers high above everyone else in so many categories...sound, arrangements, depth, variety, instrumentation, novelty, originality, emotional impact, rhythm, etc. etc. AR has really silenced his critics and only a few mumblings are heard here and there from a few scattered jealous naysayers about how Jai Ho isn't really that great, blah blah blah... No more chants of how AR has lost the magic from the 90s, is repetitive, etc. etc. Can't wait to see what AR serves up in Raavan AR Rahman's musical body of work is an institution in and of itself!!!

Why do you keep posting such negative messages in the forum. Media looks for such news to spread malice and you are just helping them. After all he is 90+ now and he comes from a different era. So expecting him to be in sync with our thoughts is wrong. Manna Dey is one of the living legends in our music scene. Let us respect him rather than abuse him.

all these guys...i mean ALL OF THEM.. miss an important point..Rahman did'nt sing Vande Mataram of Bankim Chandra chaterjee .

Hi!, guys, i dont know if narrow mindedness or somthing else, but let me tell you, on 15 August and 26 Jan no matter waht religion color or race one is, he will sing atleast one Vande Matram after the National Anthem and song. Ar Rahman Sahab has given a new direction to patroitism, and love for India and message especially our and newer generation that we are Indians first and whatever later.. United Shall We Stand, Under The Tricolor Flag, World Shall Hear One Voice We Shall Sing Our Beloved Song.

Re: [arr] why low volume audio?
You are right. I can clearly hear the small noise of audio cassette in roja, indira and many more. My doubt is that ARR sir create the audio in digital output even in that days of roja and the music production companies owns the original in digital format too. Then why such noises occur during reproducing of audio in CDs later. The worst i felt about volume level is with minsarakanavu and jeans.Iam forced to increase the volume to hear these albums. Thiruda thiruda was better compared to other two. Quality is there in all audios for sure. But the problem is with volume level. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, wiredbeats wrote: > > the duplication medium was audio cassettes that time not CD and there was a > cusp period when Dil Se , Taal came when both cassettes and CDs were sold and > even then then the mastering was focused on medium being in cassettes... > > good observation , even i noted many times. > > regards > > wb > Remixes I Originals I Opinions at http://www.wiredbeats.com > > > > > > From: Devan > To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Sun, 11 April, 2010 7:40:47 PM > Subject: [arr] why low volume audio? > > > Old tamil soundtracks like thiruda thiruda, jeans, minsara kanavu have low > volume compared to the new sound tracks.
