Re: [arr] I like Raavanan Music but I agree with those who don't like it as much
Rawat, you say None of his dozens of tamil films got Mani a name and repute that a single Dil Se earned him. His Nayagan was India's entry to the Oscars in 1987! That was 23 years ago. If that wasn't recognition then his other movies have also been been critically acclaimed not just in India but in some of the most reputed media in the west too, well before Dil Se. TIME magazine always review Mani's movies. Always. Perhaps you have only confined yourself to Hindi films in India. No wonder Mani and AR constantly campaign against the term Bollwood because Indian films are much more than that.Sadly, the Bollywood audience is completely oblivious to some brilliant movies from other industries in India. Wake up and smell the coffee, Rawat bhai.

Okay, so here’s my excuse: I was so engrossed in what was happening on screen (Karthik making his first movie in *Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya*) that I didn’t even notice that*Aaromaley* was playing in the background. This weekend, I finally listened to this song. *Really* listened. To the gentle plucking of guitar strings right at the beginning, somewhat reminiscent of Floyd’s *Wish you were here*. To that blues/rock/whatever wail in the foreground that you can’t make out a single word of other than the title. To the chant-like chorus in the background. Amazing how much work that song does when you see it in context. The almost tortured lead vocals, sounding like they’re coming from a man who has had his heart torn out (which is exactly what has happened). The more sedate chorus, with lyrics about wishing a bride on her wedding day — which is sort of why that foreground is what it is. You might as well call those two tracks Karthik and Jessie. This isn’t a sad song in the tradition of slow, melodious sad songs in Tamil cinema. Nor does it fit the stereotype of the angry, I’ll-show-her sort of song when the protagonist rises from the ashes of a failed relationship to build a life for himself/herself. This is the sort of blues-rock number that we thought fell into a different category from Tamil film music. Until a man named Allah Rakha Rahman showed us different. http://celluloidrant.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/aaromaley/
RE: [arr] I like Raavanan Music but I agree with those who don't like it as much
Dear Taimur, Kindly bear in mind that my previous mail is not about which lyricist doing a better job than the other. I only mentioned that both of them has created amazing lyrics from their own perspective. Thus, your comment on Gulzar doing a better job than Vairamuthu is totally uncalled for in this sense. And just out of curiousity Taimur. I know for a fact that you don't understand Tamil at all. So, how can you tell for certain that Gulzar has done a better job than Vairamuthu? Again, I'm not making any comparison between the both but just curious how you can do so when you don't even know Tamil. On the other hand, if you've come to the above-said conclusion based on the translations given by Srini, then it shows that you've still not done your homework well. There's no doubt that Srini has done a tremendous job in translating the tamil lyrics and I'm ever so grateful for his great effort. Nevertheless, certain lyrics cannot be taken or read only in its literal sense. In the case of Raavanan, you need to understand Tamil in order to see how Vairamuthu has used the language beautifully to bring out the essence of the songs. Quote: My definition of lyrics is very simple, the words should carry the weight to glorify the tune, i never care for meanings... That's the difference between great poets like Gulzar Vairamuthu and laypersons like you and me. Any lay person can put words into a song and think that they've done a good job, as long as the words rhymes. Nevertheless, poets don't believe that their words should be used to only suit the tunes...instead they crave to bring out the spirit and the soul of the song with their magical writings. And that's what make Gulzar and Vairamuthu stand tall amongst all the other writers. And Taimur, if you still believe that you don't care for meanings and that lyrics should be used only to glorify the tunes (i still don't know how you can do that?), then kindly refrain from talking about Vairamuthu or Gulzar's work in future. I strongly believe that their work deserves a higher level of appreciation than to be treated in the range of nursery rhymes. Kindly accept my apologies if I've used harsh words here. My intention is not to hurt your feelings, nevertheless I feel that you've been looking from a highly negative perspective as far as Raavan/Raavanan are concerned and that probably has been preventing you from accepting the albums the way they are meant to be.

Re: [arr] My Humble Opinion
y tell others, a music is nice, not nice ???...If you like it, hear it...if not, listen to some other one. But then what's the point of having this group of fans? It's to be able to discuss one's likes and dislikes. Indulge in interesting discussions that we might not be able to have with others. However, what is wrong is trying to aggressively impose one's impressions/thoughts on another and also trashing one's favoured album/taste outrightly because one doesn't like it. We live in a subjective world. You may not like what I like. But that doesn't mean we should not talk about it. If we spoke about it, you might point out to me the flaws in what I like or I may point out the strengths which could both change (or even not change) our opinions. But the best bit about that journey is the discussion. I have learnt many a things from this group from all posters (those who I agree and disagree with). That's why I love this group! We are all here for a healthy discussion. We are all friends here.

Re: [arr] Is there Raavanan DTS CD?
Fake! or shall i say misleading, the thing about DTS is its primarily for theatrical multi channel playback. Theres a format call DTS HD audio which can be converted into 2 channel audio, but so can any format be converted into CD format. The only surround sound audio CD available is called SACD ( Super Audio CD), which has a surround layer and a normal CD layer. This plays only in SACD compatbible players ( look for SACD logo) in your system. All sony 5.1 home theatres play it. I have one SACD of a country music artist and its just brilliant.Its very rare, but available.

[arr] Mani Ratnam not to send Raavan to IIFA Colombo (NDTVMovies news)

Ratnam claimed he had taken the decision to stay away from IIFA Colombo because Raavan, slated to release on June 18, is still not complete. The film is said to be a loose adaptation of the epic Ramayana and stars Abhishek Bhachan and Aishwarya Rai in leading roles. We are not going. The film is not ready yet. We are still working on the background score. The film will be ready only in June. We are not going, the film is not going, he said. Ratnam refused to comment on Abhishek and Aishwarya's presence at IIFA, saying they were free to do what they pleased in their individual capacity. IIFA 2010, meant to showcase Sri Lanka's emergence from 30 years of civil strife, is fast turning into a bone of contention with some groups in South India expressing their displeasure with a venue linked to the massacre of Sri Lankan Tamil civilians. The event has already drawn the ire of the Tamil Film fraternity, with popular figures like Rajnikanth, Kamal Hassan, Vijay, Ajith and Surya refusing to be associated in any way with IIFA. Speculations are rife that Ratnam, who was applauded for his sensitive portrayal of the Sri Lankan ethnic conflict in Kannathil Muthamittal, did not wish to antogonise the Tamil community by being seen in Colombo this year. The director has otherwise had cordial relations with IIFA, even premiering his film Yuva at the Singapore event in 2004. Meanwhile Bollywood superstar and IIFA brand ambassador Amithab bhachan has angry Tamil protestors shouting slogans outside his Mumbai residence. On Tuesday morning a group of over 50 to 60 people gathered outside Bachchan's home. The protestors did not want IIFA awards to be hosted in Sri Lanka where several thousand Tamilians were killed. Bachchan had also met Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapakse when he visited Lanka last month to announce the venue for IIFA. The protestors sat outside the Bachchan residence even as the presence of police personnel has increased. This is the second time that Bachchan is being targeted over the same issue. A group of Tamils had marched from the superstar's Pratiksha bungalow to his Jalsa residence in Mumbai last month urging him to boycott the Colombo awards ceremony. The protest was joined by Canadian Tamils too. We urge him not to attend the function in Colombo as a symbol of solidarity for the Tamilian cause in Sri Lanka. Tamils have been subject to atrocities and war crimes perpetrated by the Mahinda Rajapaksa government in that country, C. Rajendran, spokesperson for the protesters, had told the media in April. The Canadian Tamil Congress also appealed to Bachchan to stay away from Sri Lanka. Amitabh is a great hero for us in the Tamil diaspora, but we are very disturbed and profoundly saddened by our hero's proposed visit to a regime which has perpetrated crimes against Tamils. By visiting Sri Lanka, Amitabh will be lending credibility to a regime which has destroyed Tamils ruthlessly and committed horrendous human rights violations. When Tamils continue to suffer in Sri Lanka and numerous human rights bodies have implicated the regime in crimes against humanity, we plead with a person of Bachchan's stature not to go there to help a government that is desperately seeking recognition from the world community in spite of its crimes, the organisation said. Later in his blog, Bachchan wrote that he would respect everyone's sentiments. The sentiments of all must be respected and I hope that we can plan and execute that with understanding, peace and grace, the actor posted on his blog referring to the protests by Tamil groups. A Tamil group picketed my houses, asking me to not conduct IIFA in Sri Lanka. I beckoned personnel from Wiz (Wizcraft) who own and conduct IIFA, to come and meet me to discuss this matter and give it due importance, Bachchan wrote in his response to the protests. I believe Wizcraft personnel met representatives of this protest presentation along with the police personnel that came over from the Juhu Police station, heard what they had to say, accepted a petition given by them, explained to them their side of the story and told them that the governing body of the event would meet immediately to conference on this matter and reach
Heres the confusion: [arr] Is there Raavanan DTS CD?
I know where the confusion is, there is a defunct format called DTS music disc http://www.dts.com/Pro_Audio_Products/Products_by_Media/DTS_Music_Disc_CD/Overview.aspx But you know what, this format is actually worser than super audio CD. I just called an expert friend and asked over international line and he says DTS music CD was a joke, it never really boosted anything major and the fact that they comply to the 'red book' standard( Red book standard is THE standard for audio CD reproduction) does not mean anything. The codec is a failure because most players could not recognize the track separators and either said invalid disc or read the whole thing as one big huge track. As in the CD contained just one song, even if it had 5 or 7 tracks.. Those who have Boys or Godfather DTS disc as you claim, please do this test If you are playing in 5.1 surround sound system, please disconnect the center channel and check what you get. regards Remixes I Originals I Opinions at http://www.wiredbeats.com From: pratap pratap_elen...@yahoo.com To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tue, 11 May, 2010 9:05:46 AM Subject: Re: [arr] Is there Raavanan DTS CD?

I may have asked this a long time back, but I'm interested in this topic again. Here are some broad descriptors when thinking about a new ARR album (or any new album) Originality/Inventiveness Melody Rhythm Mood/Ambiance Sound Quality Genre Variety Arrangements/Instrumentation Broad Emotional Connection Lyrics Singing Quality How would you rank order these broad descriptors as far as what's most important to you when you judge a new ARR album? Some of these characteristics are tied to each other too: Here's my ranking: 1) Broad Emotional Connection 2) Melody 3) Arrangements/Instrumentation 4) Mood/Ambiance 5) Originality/Inventiveness 6) Sound Quality 7) Genre Variety 8) Singing 9) Rhythm 10) Lyrics It doesn't mean that what's at 7,8,9 is not important to mejust relatively less important compared to what's ranked at top.

That was the impression I got initially after the Hindi release, as both Rekha and Anuradha were credited. Considering Rekha B was the main singer, I reckoned Anuradha was the distorded back-and-forth voice... My thoughts got confirmed (that is, to my ears :-) ) when I heard the Tamil version. In any case. Ranjha is a wonderful example of ARR's interpretation of folk-meets-electron ica. It's a trend I personally appreciate a lot as a result of my music taste (Maricham, Liquid Dance, Mausam Escape).. I didn't immediately expect Ranjha to this row but it touches my musical senses somewhere! regards, Prabhu On 6 May 2010 23:16, AJ purev...@yahoo. com wrote: Â In my song by song review, I briefly mentioned that ARR sampled Rekha's voice and used it as a drone backdrop with electronic distortion coming and going throughout the song. The tweaking that he did with the sound frequencies in that drone, modulating the treble range within a uniformly timed wavelength, reminds me so much of the Mosquito effect sound he used in the Mosquito track from Connections. He used it brilliantly in this track!

His tastes arent developed enough to catch the melody or emotions behind the song... It made me remember another incidence which happened around 16 years ago. With child like enthusiasm, i made to my grand mother to hear the song Chandralekha- (Thiruda-Thiruda/ Chor-Chor). .. and as I was enjoying the song, she said.. Its more of a noise. good for children. I was really disappointed but now i understand the reason behind it. It was not of her genre(Obvsly) . But as I wanted to share so, I wanted her to love the song too... funny! Though both the songs are Example of CLASS in themselves but they were rejected by some people. and the simple logic behind it is that its not of their taste or genre... Does it make the songs bad??? The songs continue to inspire so many souls. For me, ARR is a source of energy which keeps emitting through music. Sometimes(most of the times) it matches with our frequency and we love that bit of energy(music) . But sometimes it could be out of our bandwidth. Not for us... but some other soul may catch it and find it absolute bliss. The whole logic is: if u love it, enjoy it and if it doesnt inspire you, its not for u... but for somebody else around. Let him enjoy... Musicians are like sea divers. @ every dive, sometimes they find pears, sometimes other sea shells and stuff...Enjoy the art... Dnt try to force things and life would be a bliss... and Taimur Bhai, I really wonder If u actually read the blog post while listening to the song...

I mean are you so adamant about not liking the songs or what. raavan is an experience. Not to be heard or listened but experienced. I am not angry at any of the people who dont like the raavan songs. But saddened that my fellow Rahmaniacs are not enjoying what we are. ARR takes us to a land of awesomeness with Raavan. Stop judging the music. Relax your heads. For Christs sake forget Roja and Thiruda thiruda for once and enjoy Raavan. I am not telling you guys to listen to it cuz ARR has worked so hard on it. We arent doing him a favor nor is he. Just sit back and chill out man. Visualise the songs and experience Raavan. Trust me, its so godamn awesome.

[arr] Disappointed by an ARR album?
After reading some preposterous comments all over the net relatedDI people's reactions to Raavan's music, here's what I have to say: When you are disappointed by an ARR album, here's what it means: - You have a right to express your disappointment without being disrespectful to ARR or his team. If your words are disrespectful, expect some backlash. - You may need more time with it to settle in and become more familiar. Even after that you don't like it, the music is just not your taste. - It means that your disappointment is your opinion and should be respected as one, which may be shared by others. Here's what your disappointment does NOT mean: - It does NOT mean that ARR's genius is fading or that he needs to be replaced by that particular director for whose film he created music. - It does NOT mean that your opinion is fact. Even if your opinion is shared by a lot of others, it does not make it so. Every ARR album has takers and leavers with very few receiving 100% praise or full consensus, if even that. - It does NOT give you the right to ignore or diminish the hard work that goes into every ARR album, whether you like the music or not. If you express such views, expect some backlash.

[arr] Raavanan DTS definitely fake!
I did some research. 1) The 1st, 2nd and 3rd channels are exactly the same thing. 2) 5th 6th channels are actually the same audio with voice cancellation effect added on. So, if anyone sees those fake DVDs (oh yeah, it's DVD not CD. Files are in VOB format) being sold anywhere, please don't buy it... http://indian-music-bgm.blogspot.com/ Please do not add me in YM.

[arr] Raavan for hindi, but VTV still for tamil
I went crazy listening to Raavan when it released. All songs grew on me on every listen. I was totally hooked to Ranjha Ranjha and Beera Beera initially. Then slowly followed Behne De and Khili Re...eventually Kata Kata and Thok De Dilli registered in my mind and all of a sudden the entire album kept spinning in my ipod and my mind in a loop. Raavan became the album to get VTV and YMC out of my mind, even though I was occasionally getting back to Kundanappu Bomma/Omana Penne and Hosanna. Then the unexpected happened. Raavanan released..all my excitement shifted to Raavanan. I went for my favorite song of Raavan, Ranjha Ranjha. Was unpleasantly surprised. Thought the beauty and enigmatic touch of Ranjha was spoilt in Kattu Sirukki. Wondered if it was the lyrics / the high-pitched singing of Anuradha. Skipped and went to Usurey Pogudhe. This was great, on par with Behne De. Loved it and moved on to Veera. Was disappointed a bit. Thought the african chants didn't work in tamil or the lyrics again were bad. I found Kalvare soothing, mainly because of Shreya's voice, wasn't really impressed by VM's lyrics. Kodu Potta was good, but I liked hindi version better. Finally Kedakkari was something which struck the right chord for me. Rahman did do something different for this song to fit Raavanan. The shift from Shehnai to Nadaswaram was brilliant, and overall the feel of the song was different from the hindi version. All said and done, kept listening to Raavanan for a while until one day I realized I shouldn't force myself to listen to something just because its Rahman's. I mean the music is great no doubt, the hindi version already proved it. ARR delivered big time to suit the movie's needs. The songs sure do transport the listener to breathtaking locales of the movie as seen frm the trailer. But its the other half of the equation which takes away my interest from listening to them. The lyrics by VM and the singers to some extent. I switched back to Raavan and I'm much more happy listening to the songs, no more disappointments or ponderings, and in tamil VTV is back !!! To me if Rahman wins an award in tamil, it will be and should be for VTV than Raavanan, and I never ever thought I'd say this for an ARR-Maniratnam combo. Sirish P.S - I decided to share my opinion after deep thought and seeing posts justifying how Raavanan score will/might grow on you...I tried, but it just didn't..
[arr] Dil Se Re.......
Friendz, i just wanted to share this...was listening to raavan and raavanan for the past few weeks...the cd has not yet come out of my player...for a change i started hearing to dil se...as usual some new sounds(percussions and instruments) came up (as it always happens to me with A R Rahman songs :-D )...i have listened to Dil se re song many times before..these sounds didnt come to ma notice then.. the section 4.00 to 4.43minit was like i was hearing for the first time...the percussions are heavenly...there are lots of sounds within these few seconds...also the layering- WOW...a masterpiece of 43 sec ( of course the song as a whole is a masterpiece..i meant the percussions) !!!
