[arr] Re: Front Runner for National Awards 2010?

[Subramanian]

well, i really don't know what's the criteria for National Award for Best Music 
direction. If VTV deserves a national award, then I am sure Delhi-6 deserved it 
last year and Rang De Basanti deserved it the year before. There couldn't have 
been a better album than Delhi-6 . In fact, I was predicting a national award 
for it 100% more so because AR brought home the oscars, so as a token of 
appreciation i thought the committee would give the award to him. Sadly, it did 
not bag the award.The award went to a more classical music oriented album. If 
classical music is what the committee is looking for, then I see no reason why 
Minsaara Kanavu bagged the award and Taal failed to bag it.

it, please give some more time and enjoy!!!

but I wonder how "Irumbile Oru Idhayam" isn't catchy for some (or many).. 

I've gone gaga over this song.. the last time I went crazy for a Rahman sung 
funky song was 'Khalbali'.. got into a 7 time consecutive yesterday... . 
listening to it as i write.. awesome.

btw, if you have an excellent sound system, this song is one to test it.

[arr] Endhiran Spellbinding Indeed....But takes time to grow!

[yeshrao81]

Whoa what a turn of things When Endhiran released, I was not impressed at 
all thinking it was too much noise and no tune whatsoever...but now everything 
seems to be perfectly woven and the magic is starting to slowly show up...

Ranking of songs from endhiran:

1)Pudhiya Manidha
2)Kadhal Anukkal 
3)Irumbile oru
4)Kilimanjaro
5)Arima
6)Boom Boom
7)Chitti Dance

There are flashes of brilliance in each song and one cannot but get bowled over 
by them...

[arr] Re: Irumbile Oru Idhayam - Hats off!!!

[Subramanian]

same feelings Thulasi...I am in total awe of the way AR renders the line "iRobo 
un Kaadhil I love you sollataa"...I am sure young Rajini fans (less then 16 yrs 
old) are gonna go crazy over this song..This is a world class song considering 
the way it has been mixed. And its gonna be a cult hit for sure!

Re: [arr] Suprised -- no one is talking about Boom Boom... Robot da..,,

I am loving this song. As of now, only Irumbile is still the least played
and that's primarily because of the English lyrics.

[arr] Re: Which ARR album surprised you the most?

[vimaljk]

Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya- for its unbounded experimentation
Jodhaa Akbar- it had a more low-key approach then i expected (except Azeem O 
Shan)
Endhiran- again, like VTV didn't expect the level of experimentation that was 
there
Boys- rare for an album at that time to have so much rap..also during that 
period one of the only full "youth-oriented" ARR soundtracks
Lagaan-the album took all of us back in time to the past...heard it before 
knowing about the movie so was caught off guard

Re: [arr] For those who are bashing Enthiran's music....

[Pradeepan]

I , for one, (not a Rajini fan , but definitely love him) can not imagine a
Rajinikanth Movie with songs like these

- Aaromale (when Rajini's character decides to create a new business
venture)
- Fanaa (Intro song for Rajini as a playboy)
- Tu Bin Bataaye (an intimate romantic song set as Rajini finally proposes
to the heroine)

Endhiran is just perfect the way it is :-) Rahman knows best.

[arr] For those who are bashing Enthiran's music....

[AJ]

...I have a question for you (maybe this does not include anyone in this group)

Given the type of film that this is, the director, Rajinikant fans, etc., how 
else would you have liked the music to have turned out?  Now, I'm not asking 
this question to those who have specific and intelligent criticisms of points 
in this album (like sound, lyrics, etc.), but for those who are calling this 
album a complete washout.  

Please give us your suggestions as to how Rahman should have scored differently 
given the type of movie in mind.  Did you want soulful, soft, melodious numbers 
like in Zubeidaa? Sufi music?  Kathak music?  

Please enlighten us!

My point is that if want to bash a music album completely that's tied to a 
film, maybe you should direct some of your ire towards the type of movie and 
the director who extracts the music from the MD and has a say as to which songs 
would be allowed and not allowed.  For Enthiran, Rahman had so score a type of 
music that was apt for the film at hand, just like all his film albums.  If the 
music is not your cup of tea, say, "this music is not my taste, but maybe 
others will like it", but please stop the bashing and accusing Rahman of this, 
that, and everything else!  He's not making private albums!!!

[arr] About my reviews...

[AJ]

Thanks everyone for reading my reviews and your kind comments.  I write reviews 
not expecting praise or attention...it's a hobby for me and I do it for my own 
self expression and satisfaction.  If anyone is patient enough to read my 
reviews and write a kind comment, that is bonus to me.  

My reviews tend to be long and verbose, I know that.  I like to be very 
descriptive about the songs, explaining what I like and why I like it, pointing 
out a lot of details.  I'm sorry if my reviews are not the most reader 
friendly!  I simply don't have time to go back and edit them and make them more 
concise.  Please forgive me for this.

[arr] Irumbile - To Like or not to Like?

[AJ]

This song seems to be polarizing us into two campslike its and not like 
its.  Some are raving about it saying it's the best song in the album.  I can 
see why this song is so popular simply because it's so groove oriented and 
because ARR is singing it in a robotic voice.  Hif ARR wasn't singing 
it, would it still be as liked?

I wonder why ARR choose this song to sing.  Maybe for diversity...wanted to try 
his voice on another techno track besides Fannah?  

Anyway, to me, the song is catchy, but that's it.  Maybe if I were a teenager, 
I would like it more!  Us oldies (in my 30s) like more variety in a track!

him. and when it comes to rappin in english BlaZee is easily de best out

U kidding me!!?? I am missing Blaaze like crazy!! His contribution to ARR
Rajni combination's has been deadly.
Go back and listen to BABA rap or Sivaji... after SPB, Blaaze could easily
be *The Rajni* voice!

"Robot started slowly for me but now its rocking me! i'm rejuvenated" - Me too. 
Especially Irumbile. I hated it because it sounded like some remix. And I hate 
remixes. But I had my faith on ARR and kept listening. And I still am. After 10 
hearings I was hooked. It's bliss! Ty, ARR.

Hi All,

 I don't know how many of you feel this. First of All Irumbile is on 
lop and when ever I listen to this song, I go back to the days of 
Kadhal Desam one of my favourite songs at that time "Hello Doctor Heart 
Thiruttaache". Might be because the song arrangement is same and ARR has sung 
that song as well and there is a bit of rap in that as well.

I know Irumbile is more electronica but it has quite good hooks. I am hooked.

Thanks and Regards,

  dilse is already trying to be matched by other composers. [Eg: Mithoon's 
song 'Mein Kaun Hoon' from Lamhaa]. And ARR is not trying to match it, coz he

[arr] Front Runner for National Awards 2010?

[dass]

VTV, Raavanan, Endhiran

Of these three albums from ARR this year, for sure, VTV will be the front 
runner for National Awards 2010 in film music direction category.

I am hoping that VTV will bring him this award for best music direction for the 
record number of times. What a lovely music it is!

Are there any strong contenders for this film? What do you think?

it might get released in this series...

Michael Jackson's first of several posthumous albums to be released
Published: Tuesday, Aug 3, 2010, 12:39 IST
Place: Melbourne | Agency: ANI
The late legendary pop singer Michael Jackson

Legendary pop singer Michael Jackson's first of the several new albums are
due for release in November 2010, almost a year and a half after the singer
died in June 2009.

The late King of Pop's posthumous album features 10 never-before-heard songs
from the King of Pop.

The album will be the first in a 10-project, seven-year deal worth 250
million dollars that Jackson estate executors signed with Sony Music bosses
in March, a spokesperson for the estate confirmed.

Jackson left behind hard drives filled with previously unreleased music,
with his former manager Frank DiLeo estimating Jackson's vaults contain more
than 100 completed and unreleased songs, including collaborations with Akon,
Will.I.Am and Ne-Yo, reports *The Daily Telegraph.*

The tracks are expected to be included in the forthcoming release, alongside
songs Jackson recorded at the peak of his career in the 1980s.

"There are a couple of songs we recorded for the Bad album that we had to
cut that are just sensational," DiLeo told *RollingStone.com.*

May be your title should just read "Endhiran Music Review - 1100110"..:) Nice

Enjoyed reading your review. Good work..!

Re: [arr] what is mixing, mastering?

[wiredbeats]

mixing is putting all stems ( tracks like voicem,bass,synth,drums etc etc) 
together so they make a coherent song and each layer dont fight for space. 
Mastering is adding the final touches by taking care of the dynamics, limiters 
etc

mastering also takes care of volume levels for all songs in CD compilation as 
per red book standards

this is just simply put

many great engineers say a good mix of a song does not require mastering..

Hi All,


Just check this link...

Kilimanjaro all are great. Thanks to ARR and Shankar.

I beg to differ with your view points on Irumbile Oru Idhayam. Its not a 
masterpiece and its not my favourite in the soundtrack, yes but it is 
definitely 
not noisy or weak. In my opinion, its a typical AR techno song like Yaakai 
Thiri 
or Shano Shano and I like the feel of it. 

Trust me I hated both Yaakai Thiri and Shano Shano when I first listened to 
them. Though Shano Shano just managed to become a song I liked in the 
album, 
Yaakai Thiri became my favourite in Aayitha Ezhuthu. Just listen to 
Irumbile Oru 
Idhayam a few more times. I am sure it'll grow on u. 

And looks like AR has created this to satisfy one major portion of the 
Rajini 
fan following- Kids. I am sure kids would get addicted to this song..

Jai Ho!

Re: [arr] My notes on enthiran

[wiredbeats]

Ya. I am not saying its a bad track. Its just too ordinary. Such arrangements 
were seen in the 90s by bands like 2-unlimited, Snap and few more. Later some 
teen pop bands like Aqua, Abba Teens etc retained the same style with newer 
sounding patterns and sequence.

May be its the scripts requirement or perhaps ( and this is what i think...) 
that if rahman and his team provided a more advanced arrangement, the masses 
wont understand it and give a thumbs down.

I think this because, the track NaNa from Couple's Retreat was just awesome. 
The 
arrangements and feel was truly global. Sounded like bands - inner circle or 
Bob 
Marley. 

anywaysfor now i will stop with Puthiya Manitha and Kilimanjaro..

wow! nice read wiredbeats. I may have some of remixes from your website!!we 
need 
experts pov for Rahman album!something to learn and enjoy!  btw..I cudnt get 
why 
you call Irumbile oru idhyam or even Fanaa a flat track. I remember shankar 
saying in the audio launch that he wanted a song for bringing the emotions in 
the robot. Rahman tried 3 to 4 times and came up with this finally loved by 
Shankar. as you said, teh flow is being interrupted. I believe thefirst 3 tunes 
might have satified music lovers but then, it doesnt works that way I guess. I 
dont know its fair to compare a techno-trance album with Rahman's situational 
song in endhiran. after repeated listening, Im hooked to this song, it brings a 
little south music taste in it..."Kaaadhal ahzaikudho"!!. I guess I get what 
you 
are saying..Rahman not changing the rhythm, the whole song, knowing Rahman who 
is the best bringing different moods uin the samme song! I believe there will 
be 
a reason for this vision in the oscar winner's mind! ;)

"I robo un kadhil I love u sollata" !!! nice. Rahman cud have avoided the 
keisha 
like rap in between!! but then it sounds good too!

but I wonder how "Irumbile Oru Idhayam" isn't catchy for some (or many).. 

I've gone gaga over this song.. the last time I went crazy for a Rahman sung 
funky song was 'Khalbali'.. got into a 7 time consecutive yesterday... . 
listening to it as i write.. awesome.

btw, if you have an excellent sound system, this song is one to test it.

Re: [arr]

[Prabhu Rajagopal]

Dear Gopal & co,

I was wondering how these 5 songs from Raavanan will be come available.
Will this be

- In mp3 cd collections like how Shauk Hai and Tere Bina sung by Qadir ji
were released, which sadly for Europe based people like me, might be only
available in India I guess...?
- or would there be a new cd release?
- or an addition of these 5 songs onto Raavanan's album on iTunes store?

Thanks for the info, if available,
Prabhu

Re: [arr] Yogi b - a good change over Blaaze...

[live for arr Live]

so many people are close with ARR and all people who worked with ARR are good, 
that will not mean that he has to give them chances in every film of his..i 
only 
told that Blaaze has been over used by ARR, and he needs a break..If ARR uses 
blaaze after 5-6 albums, it will sound fresh..from baba rap he is there with 
ARR, and it has become monotnous and iritating at times with his voice. So, 
ARR, 
please DO NOT use blaaze for some more albums of yours...try with new ppl.so 
many rappers are there in the world..we all know arr is good in exprementing 
with new voices..pls, do this..

 I beg to differ with your view points on Irumbile Oru Idhayam. Its not a
 masterpiece and its not my favourite in the soundtrack, yes but it is
 definitely not noisy or weak. In my opinion, its a typical AR techno song
 like Yaakai Thiri or Shano Shano and I like the feel of it.
 Trust me I hated both Yaakai Thiri and Shano Shano when I first listened
 to them. Though Shano Shano just managed to become a song I liked in the
 album, Yaakai Thiri became my favourite in Aayitha Ezhuthu. Just listen to
 Irumbile Oru Idhayam a few more times. I am sure it'll grow on u.
 And looks like AR has created this to satisfy one major portion of the
 Rajini fan following- Kids. I am sure kids would get addicted to this 
 song..

 Jai Ho!

Re: [arr] Re: semi arr - what is your favorite quote by a musician (including AR)

[Madhavan Rajan]

That's a great collection of quotes!!! It's so nice to go back and read each
one of them...Truly appreciate your efforts...

I feel this one quote needs a special mention here -

Everything depends on your
attitude.If
you treat a jingle composition as joke, it is going to sound like one.
But if you take it seriously and work on it, concentrating on every second
of the 60 seconds, it is going to last.

I take the same attitude when composing a song. I concentrate on each
section of the song. It can be a burden, but it also brings joy when people
notice the little surprises in each song. They may hear it 10 times over and
yet discover new things in it.

Nice review, Chord. took some time to read the whole thing though.  although
i couldn't like the whole album. i do agree with the Puthiya Manidha.  This

Enthiran Music Review

I decided to write this review sooner than I thought due to the songs having a 
more instant impact and having listened to the whole album at least 15 times 
since it came out. Further time is not going to change my opinions. My comments 
are only on the music, not the lyrics.

I wonder if we really understand and appreciate the difficulty of Rahman's job, 
no matter how musically brilliant he is. He is human after all, and not a 
robot. He has to keep in mind so many expectations and demands, esp. when you 
have a leading film-maker and superstar with his own fan following….Rajinikant. 
Post Oscars, the expectations for Rahman have only grown and I truly wonder how 
he manages to rise to the occasion each time, whether we ourselves like an 
album or not. With Shankar and Rajinikant at hand, boy, Rahman must try to keep 
a lot of people happy all at once, yet creating music fitting for the movie 
that's supposed to have sci fi, robo themes! If there's anyone who can do 
justice to these demands, it's Rahman. The hype around the music release of 
this album is one of the biggest I've seen in a while…..touted as one of the 
finest films, most expensive films, etc.

Pudiya Manidha whisks us away to a land of robos and futuristic sci fi, and 
man, does it ever leave a mark! One of the sleekest masterpieces Rahman has 
ever come out with in my opinion, this song oozes with etherealness, groove, 
punch, mystery, intrigue, and trance. This track takes me to another world 
truly with Rahman's sweet touches….crystal, progressive synth sound effects, 
warm ambiance, loopy synths, and the ever soothing and captivating string 
arrangements. Post Khatija Rahman's soulful singing and bleating goat sounds, 
the song picks up speed with rhythms and SPB's spritely singing. Notice how the 
strings mimic the synth loop melody, only adding depth and character to an 
already richly bestowed track. Based loosely on raaga Bhimpalas, the song takes 
a soaring route during the heavenly string interlude. Beautiful choral 
additions are appreciated, adding a stark spirituality and sonic texture along 
with SPB's split octave singing, creating a very
 balanced and satisfying bass/treble aural experience on all frequencies. This 
track will likely go down as one of my favorites in ARR's entire repertoire for 
the reasons outlined above and for reasons I just can't put into words, but can 
only feel and experience. For a techno/trance number, it's very spiritual in 
feel! A complete masterpiece from start to finish, what a way to kick off 

A contrasting, more acoustic, upbeat and happier track follows as Shreya and 
Vijay Prakash please us with lilting singing and joy in Kaadhal Annukal. 
Rahman's use of rhythm acoustic guitar layered with the sweet accordion and 
mouth organ/harmonica is extremely appealing aurally with incredible sweetness! 
Beautiful interludes highlight this earthy and charming song with a 
Scottish/Irish style using piccolo and accordion in the first, and a very 
unconventional, out of the box mysterious and ambient synth section in the 
second, showcasing ARR's brilliant creativity and craft. The second interlude 
is truly outstanding as it gravitates away from the usual flowery mood and 
organic sound and serves us something more electronic and spacey, but never 
distracts the groove and momentum of the whole track! I just love how ARR uses 
the strings so tastefully and craftily throughout the song creating a very lush 
aural landscape, esp. in the end when Shreya's counter
 melodic line joins in. A really sparkling track from start to finish for me 
and this song just radiates freshness and innovativeness for an Indian film 
song. The melody itself is very sweet with many hooks, though unconventional 
for an Indian duet film song and at times hard to remember, but with repeated 
exposures, I can't get this song out of me!! The whole song is beautifully 
supported by a fresh, rhythmic groove that mostly unwavers alongside haunting 
and unique chords and chord progressions. 

Following the very techno and synth heavy first track, how beautifully 
contrasting we hear a very earthy and acoustic one in the second…..truly 
showcasing ARR's versatility and genius in the first 2 tracks alone!!!

The third track, Irumbile Oru, is techno to the core, but sounding like an 
ordinary remix to me! Marked by some sexy grooves and female rapping along with 
ARR's metallic tinged voice, this track has not yet impressed me much 
musically. Maybe if I understood the lyrics, I would appreciate it more, but I 
did notice how the lyrics and words seem t

Absolutely right, "Irumbile Oru Idhayam" is a masterpiece. Guys, who dont like

but I wonder how "Irumbile Oru Idhayam" isn't catchy for some (or many).. 

I've gone gaga over this song.. the last time I went crazy for a Rahman sung 
funky song was 'Khalbali'.. got into a 7 time consecutive yesterday... . 
listening to it as i write.. awesome.

btw, if you have an excellent sound system, this song is one to test it.

Aug 03, 2010 - 12:00 PM Sound Warriors [ 0 ]









*Top 10 People in Music*





*[image: AR Rahman]1.A R Rahman *
*Rank 2008: 1*
*What He Did:* If God ever decide to make a musical, he would hire Rahman as
the composer. So it’s a no-brainer that he’s been the numero uno in this
list for so long. In 2009, he stamped his supremacy with the fabulous score
of Delhi 6, which took us on the wings of pigeons, away from our daily hopes
and heartaches.
*Future Projects:* Shankar’s Endhiran, Abbas Tyrewala’s 1-800 Love, Imtiaz
Ali’s Rockstar and Shekhar Kapur’s Paani are on the cards as of now.
*Filmfare Tip:* We would love to hear you more, sir. Please take on more
playback assignments.
*Filmfare Awards:* 25 (14 for Hindi films)





*[image: Pritam]2.Pritam*
*Rank 2008: 4*
*What He Did: *Pritam is like a long-distance runner, someone who doesn’t
care for milestones but revels only in his running. He continued his bull
run in films like Love Aaj Kal, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, Aa Dekhe Zara,
De Dana Dan, New York and Tum Mile.
*Future Projects:* Pritam remains the busiest music director in 2010 too,
with projects like Mohit Suri’s Crook, Abbas-Mustan’s Race 2, Pankaj Kapur’s
Mausam and Anees Bazmee’s No Problem in his kitty.
*Filmfare Tip:* You’ve started repeating yourself and that’s not a good
thing. Think out of the box and bring more zing to your work now.
*Filmfare Awards:* None





*[image: SEL]3.Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy*
*Rank 2008:* 2
*What They Did: *S-E-L inclusion in this list is a testimony to the fact
that you can thrive as a team despite having different styles and taste in
music. They continued to experiment with each film. Instead of going for a
signature sound, they are going for a project-oriented feel to the music.
Wake Up Sid is a case in point – good music and different from the other in
appeal and texture. Karthik Calling Karthik and London Dreams were other
highlights of 2009.
*Future Projects:* Abinay Deo’s Delhi Belly, Anees Bazmee’s It’s My Life,
Nikhil Advani’s Patiala House, Farhan Akhtar’s Don 2 and Siddharth
Malhotra’s We Are Family are some of the films they are working on.
*Filmfare Tip: *What can we say, except don’t give up experimenting and try
to be more eccentric than you guys currently are.
*Filmfare Awards:* 3





*[image: Vishal-Shekhar]4.Vishal - Shekhar*
*Rank 2008: *3
*What They Did:* They may have taken a hiatus doing TV shows but they didn’t
fade away from public memory. They kept a firm balance on the surfboard of
perception despite having only a dud Aladin to their credit in 2009. The
film’s music didn’t do justice to their talent but thankfully, the fact
didn't go unnoticed.
*Future Projects:* They might have lost their way a bit but have already
made a wham bam comeback with the pulsating music of I Hate Luv Storys. They
also have Anubhav Sinha’s Ra.One, Ram Gopal Varma’s Rakta Charitra,
Siddharth Anand’s Anjaana Anjaani, Farah Khan’s Tees Maar Khan and Dansih
Aslam’s Break Ke Baad in 2010. So they may well improve on the numbers game
next year.
*Filmfare Tip:* Maybe you guys should form a band together with S-E-L and
jolt the music industry out of its complacency.
*Filmfare Awards:* 1


*[image: Gulzar]5.Gulzar*
*Rank 2008: *None
*What They Did:* Gulzar has been making us fall in love with poetry since he
wrote Mora gora ang lai le for Bandini in the 50s. No wonder he is a contant
fixture in the power list. He made us go back to our first love in Dil to
bachcha hai ji (Ishqiya) and earlier made us taste some acid in Aaja aaja
dil nichode (Kaminey) …these two examples are enough to prove that Gulzar’s
poetry is more in sync with times than his years.
*Future Projects:* He is busy weaving his magic for Vishal Bhardwaj’s Saat
Khoon Maaf.
*Filmfare Tip:* Don’t change, ever!
*Filmfare Awards:* 19





*[image: Salim-Sulaiman]6.Salim-Sulaiman*
*Rank 2008:* 7
*What They Did:* The musical duo have been making waves as prolific
composers since last few years and stamped their entry in the power list
this year with  films like Kurbaan, Luck, Teen Patti etc in their kitty.
*Future Projects:* They have Walt Disney’s live action-animation film Yodha
in the pipeline.
*Filmfare Tip:* Okay, you guys, the football season is over. Now get over
the euphoria of composing the FIFA anthem and get cracking on new film
projects.
*Filmfare Awards:* 1





*[image: Javed Akhtar]7.Javed Akhtar*
*Rank 2008: *None
*What He Did:* One of our most respected writers, Javed saab’s verses have
become part of our mindscape. The wordsmith forged new ditties in films like
Karthik Calling Karthik, Luck By Chance and Wake Up Sid among others. Peppy,
zany, in tune with the times lyrics continue to flow from the lyricist’s
pen.
*Future Projects: *Son Farhan’s Don 2, Ashutosh Gowariker’s Khelenge Hum Jee
Jaan Sey, and daughter Zoya’s Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara are some of the films
he’s working on.
*Filmfare Tip:* A m

Nice views put up...bro! 
 
And for your observation :  ///Post Khatija Rahman's soulful singing and 
bleating goat sounds, the song picks up speed with rhythms and SPB's spritely 
singing///
 
 
Bleating goat..! Wow...for me it sounds as if some girl is in danger and 
someone is stangling her neck..! Lols...watever...that part is sooo amusing and 
unusual!!!

Enthiran Music Review

I decided to write this review sooner than I thought due to the songs having a 
more instant impact and having listened to the whole album at least 15 times 
since it came out. Further time is not going to change my opinions. My comments 
are only on the music, not the lyrics.

I wonder if we really understand and appreciate the difficulty of Rahman's job, 
no matter how musically brilliant he is. He is human after all, and not a 
robot. He has to keep in mind so many expectations and demands, esp. when you 
have a leading film-maker and superstar with his own fan following….Rajinikant. 
Post Oscars, the expectations for Rahman have only grown and I truly wonder how 
he manages to rise to the occasion each time, whether we ourselves like an 
album or not. With Shankar and Rajinikant at hand, boy, Rahman must try to keep 
a lot of people happy all at once, yet creating music fitting for the movie 
that's supposed to have sci fi, robo themes! If there's anyone who can do 
justice to these demands, it's Rahman. The hype around the music release of 
this album is one of the biggest I've seen in a while…..touted as one of the 
finest films, most expensive films, etc.

Pudiya Manidha whisks us away to a land of robos and futuristic sci fi, and 
man, does it ever leave a mark! One of the sleekest masterpieces Rahman has 
ever come out with in my opinion, this song oozes with etherealness, groove, 
punch, mystery, intrigue, and trance. This track takes me to another world 
truly with Rahman's sweet touches….crystal, progressive synth sound effects, 
warm ambiance, loopy synths, and the ever soothing and captivating string 
arrangements. Post Khatija Rahman's soulful singing and bleating goat sounds, 
the song picks up speed with rhythms and SPB's spritely singing. Notice how the 
strings mimic the synth loop melody, only adding depth and character to an 
already richly bestowed track. Based loosely on raaga Bhimpalas, the song takes 
a soaring route during the heavenly string interlude. Beautiful choral 
additions are appreciated, adding a stark spirituality and sonic texture along 
with SPB's split octave singing, creating a very
 balanced and satisfying bass/treble aural experience on all frequencies. This 
track will likely go down as one of my favorites in ARR's entire repertoire for 
the reasons outlined above and for reasons I just can't put into words, but can 
only feel and experience. For a techno/trance number, it's very spiritual in 
feel! A complete masterpiece from start to finish, what a way to kick off 

A contrasting, more acoustic, upbeat and happier track follows as Shreya and 
Vijay Prakash please us with lilting singing and joy in Kaadhal Annukal. 
Rahman's use of rhythm acoustic guitar layered with the sweet accordion and 
mouth organ/harmonica is extremely appealing aurally with incredible sweetness! 
Beautiful interludes highlight this earthy and charming song with a 
Scottish/Irish style using piccolo and accordion in the first, and a very 
unconventional, out of the box mysterious and ambient synth section in the 
second, showcasing ARR's brilliant creativity and craft. The second interlude 
is truly outstanding as it gravitates away from the usual flowery mood and 
organic sound and serves us something more electronic and spacey, but never 
distracts the groove and momentum of the whole track! I just love how ARR uses 
the strings so tastefully and craftily throughout the song creating a very lush 
aural landscape, esp. in the end when Shreya's counter
 melodic line joins in. A really sparkling track from start to finish for me 
and this song just radiates freshness and innovativeness for an Indian film 
song. The melody itself is very sweet with many hooks, though unconventional 
for an Indian duet film song and at times hard to remember, but with repeated 
exposures, I can't get this song out of me!! The whole song is beautifully 
supported by a fresh, rhythmic groove that mostly unwavers alongside haunting 
and unique chords and chord progressions. 

Following the very techno and synth heavy first track, how beautifully 
contrasting we hear a very earthy and acoustic one in the second…..truly 
showcasing ARR's versatility and genius in the first 2 tracks alone!!!

The third track, Irumbile Oru, is techno to the core, but sounding like an 
ordinary remix to me! Marked by some sexy grooves and female rapping along with

Excellent words, Chord! I loved the way you wrote on Kadhal Anukkal!!! This
just makes me to love this song much more than I did...I bet this song is
providing a very good contrast to the previous 'Rajini' melody in Sivaji -
Sahana...If AR had given a similar melody, people would have complained it
as just another 'Sahana' !!!

I hope some members would help in translating the lyrics soon...'Irumbile'
has got some very interesting lyrics considering the duet between a robot
and a woman...Haven't heard such amusing lyrics in Tamil for a long time...

[arr] Yogi b - a good change over Blaaze...

[live for arr Live]

Enthiran is rocking. esp puthiya manitha, arima , pudihya anikkal and 
kilimanjaro. Yogi b's voice is good and a definite change over Blaaze's vocals. 
I feel that Blaaze has been overused by ARR and it needs a change. Blaaze - 
please take some time off. I hope ARR continus his future raps with yogi B and 
others.

[arr] A glimpse of Rahman’s concerts

[Bivin Chandra]

AR Rahman’s Jai Ho-Journey Home world tour started in May, but preparations 
began six months prior to that, at Los Angeles’ famous Centre Stage Auditorium, 
where Michael Jackson had rehearsed for his This Is It tour. Shows have been 
held in New York, Washington DC, Chicago, New Jersey, London and Birmingham.

Says Shweta Pandit, lead female vocalist of the tour, “Singing at the O2 Arena, 
where Michael Jackson was to perform last year was touching and humbling. The  
audience’s reaction was so special that I felt like I had magical powers!

“This feeling is rare. I have dedicated my first-ever performance at O2 Arena 
to the memory of MJ.” Future concerts are scheduled in San Fransisco, Detroit, 
Raleigh, Dallas, Houston, Paris, Zurich and Vancouver. She states, “The 
response has been incredible, possibly the most fulfilling experiences for me 
as a vocalist.”

Shweta was first seen on TV in the 9X show, Mission Ustaad, in 2008 where 
Rahman and Javed Akhtar appeared as the judges. Shweta reveals, “It was a show 
on playback singers composing music. That's when Rahman sir heard me sing. I 
have been touring with him for more than a year since." Shweta has previously 
worked with Rahman at concerts in Hyderabad, Muscat, and in Australia, at the 
Sydney Festival 2010. 

Coming back to the Rahman tour, Shweta recollects some memorable experiences in 
LA. She recalls, “While practising at Centre Stage, we had Janet Jackson, 
Jermaine Jackson, Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus and Pussycat Dolls, rehearsing just 
next door. They had amazing things to say about Indian music. I got a chance to 
speak to Jermaine and he mentioned how Indian music has become a rage, thanks 
to Slumdog Millionaire’s soundtrack.”

  I Think Endhiran is The Best Soundtrack . its Science Fiction Film and 
Rahman gives what that movie wants . the Robot Can't Sing  Aaromale , 
Mannipaaya or Usure Pogudhey  kinds of Songs . So In My View Endhiran is the 
Big Science Fiction Fantasy Music never heard before . please Stop Comparing to 
other albums and Listen To Endhiran Song and Enjoy the Music

[juliencristobal]

Thanks for this excellent review ichord! I tend to agree with the different 
comments you have made on your review. However, we need to keep in mind that 
the movie is not set in the future as a result A.R.Rahman might have opted for 
this "clichéd, stereotyped robotic sound" in "Chitti Dance Showcase" in order 
to keep it realistic?

Re: [arr] Enthiran Music Review - A 4 Point Masterpiece Only

[kishore parayath]

Hey chord..
Even, I had the same opinion... The robotic sounds date pretty much back to
the 80's. But if u remember Ilayaraja's title song from the Kamal Haasan
starrer Vikram, which was completely arranged and programmed by ARR, u can't
certainly deny that ARR had such ideas during those times too.

The symphonic strings in Arima Arima, are indeed very addictive, but ARR
unusually, does not impress us with the progressions; which fail to be
purely orchestral. Irumbile Oru idhayam, too being conceptually old, our
expectations for a futuristic album become shattered.
Despite all these, the sonic experimentation and periodical transitions
within tracks places Endhiran way ahead of any other Tamil soundtrack
released in the past 5 years.

Re: [arr] Endhiran my ranking

[Vishal Reddy]

So far, Raavanan>Enthiran>VTV>Puli

Dunno if Enthiran will grow even more on me and surpass Raavanan to become the 
best ARR album of the year!
