Re: [arr] Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya may be Rahman's greatest work to date
On a contrary i think he has delivered his best in Raavan its way ahead of all the other albums that has been released so far (this year). Its got all the ingredients which we have never heard so far it was totally a magical album which i was expecting from him for years . Moreover it has got variety in it unlike VTV which was so inclined towards western audience and some of the songs like omana penne, kannukkul kannai, anbil avan just made me switch over though i have it in my playlist. I find enthiran more engaging too. --- On Tue, 8/24/10, chelva kumar chelva1...@yahoo.com.sg wrote: From: chelva kumar chelva1...@yahoo.com.sg Subject: Re: [arr] Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya may be Rahman's greatest work to date To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, August 24, 2010, 8:42 PM Agree VTV the best ever so farall the others after it...average. --- On Wed, 25/8/10, Farzad Khaleel farsad...@gmail.com wrote: From: Farzad Khaleel farsad...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [arr] Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya may be Rahman's greatest work to date To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, 25 August, 2010, 12:55 AM agreeed despite of several arr releases after vtv, this album remains my fav.

Quote:- I'm just writing this because recently (since 2007, when I joined), with every new releases someone will post a negative review and the rest start bashing that person. Let's have some healthy interactions here... I agree that we need healthy interactions in this forum but it has to work both ways here, I believe. Not only you, but quite a few members have been complaining that their negative comments and criticisms were shot down by members. But then again, what about members who praise ARR's music? We are named as fools, ingenuine fans, hesitant, afraid to point out our true feelings, etc. If you're saying that negative comments should not be shot down, then calling members who enjoy ARR's music as fools and faking their opinions should not be allowed as well, am I right? I've said this before and I would say it again, Endhiran as an album, is not my cup of tea. Given a choice, I would prefer to listen to Raavanan and Jodha Akhbar than Enthiran. The reason- I don't like trance or techno music. On the other hand, my friends like techno music and they found Enthiran to be awesome. Now, if I were to call Enthiran as soul-less and horrible, wouldn't I be insulting my friends' taste of music? I would and that's not right! But that's exactly what happens here. One of our members here mentioned that he felt like laughing while reading the posts on how others seems to enjoy Enthiran. I thought that was insulting. Just because we don't like an album, we shouldn't be expecting others to dismiss the same as well. And what we regard as wonderful, amazing or true gems of ARR's need not be true for others. A small example- A lot of people here like Thee Thee from Thiruda Thiruda (and I don't mean only Kishore) but it's not my favourite song in the album. I thought Caroline's pronunciation was really bad and the music seems to overshadow the strength of her voice, making it even more inaudible. But I don't consider it a bad song. It's just not to my liking. And knowing that many liked the song, the least I could do is respect the interest of others and voice out my comments in a respectful way. I mean, how would you react if I were to pass the following comments on the song and it's fans? :- if you think this song is good, you haven't heard to ARR's true gems or I'm can't help laughing when I hear that you guys actually like this song or This song is soul-less, wonder how you guys can praise it otherwise? Wouldn't you feel bad? Wouldn't you get angry? Wouldn't you retaliate? Or are you going to call me as whole hearted, eloquent or dynamic for the simple reason that I was brave enough to pass such comments on the song? It's sound preposterous even to myself. My point is, there should always be room for criticisms in this forum nevertheless, the right usage of words and expressions should also be given due importance in order not to hurt or disregard other members' feelings. A fan group such as this is not a place to shower pointless praises on ARR, I agree, but it's also not a place to make hateful remarks. Respect is a dying virtue today.

Re: [arr] songs database
Hi Gops, If we do have most of the information, then please share the same in any format. A scalable design is possible, but i am afraid it can be bit complicated for us to start enetering the data with it. We can come up with a ER diagram for the same, but it can be diffcult for us enter the data to it. IMO, as a first step if we have the details of songs as a excel sheet prepared by murugan, then we can easily import the same into a scalable DB design ( I can help on that ). Importing the data from the basic excel to a complicated database design cn be performed easily thro ETL tools and bit of querying and data massaging.

However, I would caution against adhoc development. Between ourselves, we have 90%-95% of the data we need. So, that need not be the focus. In my view, the focus needs to be on designing a database that is robust and extensible in design. It should allow for backend storage and front end ingestion and retrieval of data. Extensibility is particularly important because there may be views of data that we don't conceive now but will be come apparent in future. A relational database schema seems like the best approach to take. Let me illustrate that with an example - in some cases you have credits for musicians for a song and in many cases only for an entire album. This is true for awards too. The only way this can be handled is through relational databases with well thought-through entity-relationships. I would therefore request that let our initial focus be on defining what kind of information are we seeking to archive and then design the database before getting down to implementation.

We are named as fools, ingenuine fans, hesitant, afraid to point out our true feelings, etc. If you're saying that negative comments should not be shot down, then calling members who enjoy ARR's music as fools and faking their opinions should not be allowed as well, am I right? I've said this before and I would say it again, Endhiran as an album, is not my cup of tea. Given a choice, I would prefer to listen to Raavanan and Jodha Akhbar than Enthiran.

Now, if I were to call Enthiran as soul-less and horrible, wouldn't I be insulting my friends' taste of music? I would and that's not right! But that's exactly what happens here. One of our members here mentioned that he felt like laughing while reading the posts on how others seems to enjoy Enthiran. I thought that was insulting. Just because we don't like an album, we shouldn't be expecting others to dismiss the same as well. And what we regard as wonderful, amazing or true gems of ARR's need not be true for others. A small example- A lot of people here like Thee Thee from Thiruda Thiruda (and I don't mean only Kishore) but it's not my favourite song in the album. I thought Caroline's pronunciation was really bad and the music seems to overshadow the strength of her voice, making it even more inaudible. But I don't consider it a bad song. It's just not to my liking. And knowing that many liked the song, the least I could do is respect the interest of others and voice out my comments in a respectful way. I mean, how would you react if I were to pass the following comments on the song and it's fans? :- if you think this song is good, you haven't heard to ARR's true gems or I'm can't help laughing when I hear that you guys actually like this song or This song is soul-less, wonder how you guys can praise it otherwise?

The case with Raavan was no room for songs but there were songs. Endiran has all dance tracks with Rajni saar as subject. I think it would be more enjoyable while watching the movie.

[arr] SAD abt ENDHIRAN songs
Dear Fellow Rahmaniacs, I am feeling really low after hearing the songs from ENDHIRAN. Always, whenever, our BOSS songs are released, I used to hear all the songs in a continuous loop. I used to adore some songs and love to keep listening to the other songs. My friends used to get fed up of me talking/raving about the new release of ARR. Our BOSS music used to give me a chance to visualise beautiful imageries based solely on his music. It used to play continuously in my mind , even when the player is turned off. But ENDHIRAN has crashed me. I had to stop playing those songs and that hurt me a lot. Never before in my life, I have been so disappointed about our ARR music. I am really SAD. The songs did not have that soul connecting quality, in other words, the music did not connect with me. The songs did not have the stand alone quality. May be the movie demanded such songs. May be, my expectation were much higher for a Shankar- ARR movie. I am really praying that my perspective changes after watching the movie. But for the time being, I can’t stand ARR song, for the first time ever. And I am HURT SAD. But believe me friends, I am trying really hard. However , forcing oneself does not give genuine pleasure . Your fellow rahmaniac, Fameeb.
Re: [arr] Re: Group database team (e-mail add)
Put me in this list too. My email is anveshred...@gmail.com When things start rolling, its probably a good idea to have a group chat in something like YM/Gmail with the people involved. As Gops already said, collecting data aint a big thing as we have most of the data among ourselves. The priority should be to discuss what kind of queries this app going to serve and what would be the ideal schema to implement this, always keeping in mind the extensibility of the design. Besides serving basic requests like albums in a particular year, songs of a particular singer, it should also be able to serve queries like, list all the debutant singers of ARR with their songs and albums. A simple design for this could be, A table for Artists ( for now may be this contains only ARR) | 1xM A table for Albums | 1xM A table for Songs There should be separate tables for unique list of singers with columns for gender, nationality etc. There could be tables for technicians too. Gops case of only album having technicians could be solved by having a table that depends on the album table, technicians table and songs table. These are just some initial ideas. We may not be able to think through all the cases right now, we can keep making changes though. But firstly we need a concise list of queries the app needs to serve. - Anvesh On Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 10:48 PM, Roshan c.pix...@gmail.com wrote: 1)Roshan - c.pix...@gmail.com 2)Vinayakam Murugan 3) Farzad Khaleel 4) Indmovbuff 5) Rahul 6) swaps 7) Swamy (aka Kitcha) 8) Hashir 9) Maddy - maddy_...@me.com 10)Srinath. - *rahmani...@gmail.com* 11)Jesheem 12)Serge Belier 13)Rivjot 14)Sirish 15) Shreyas Jagadeesh 16)Rahul Menon 17)Amith Chandran On Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 9:35 PM, Rivjot riv...@yahoo.com wrote: Yeah its getting a bit over-the-place with all mails having database in title and it would be effective to communicate through e-mails my id for this matter - rahmaniac(dot)arr(at)gmail(dot)com Also Indmov / Roshan, since you guys seem to be in-charge of this project, (IMO) you guys should assign specific tasks to members who are willing to contribute... or list the tasks to do, and we can pick what to do.

Re: [arr] AR Rahman scores for 127 hours!!!!
Rahman never forgets to surprise me with his music and projects and I throughly enjoy his songs and selections he makes. If Endhiran is a BIG pressure on him and he delivers BIG time, then I can imagine the expectation 127 hours has created. Even BIGGER and am sure he will come out even BIGGER. No matter how the movies turnout I always admire and respect ARR for the courage and giving his best for every project. For people criticizing him, please be considerate and put urself in Rahman's shoe before commenting. Its easy to be on this side of the fence and make arji baaji's.

Yes, ace director Danny Boyle and A R Rahman are back together and this time, with a movie titled 127 Hours. Despite Rahman's involvement in the film being kept under wraps, the teaser trailer of this flick (that released recently) reveals that the Mozart of Madras is indeed the composer of the film. The film, which is based on the true story of Aron Ralston, a mountain climber who amputated his arm to free himself after being trapped in a boulder for nearly five days, has Spiderman star James Franco playing the lead. The Boyle-Rahman pair rocked the film scene in 2008 with Slumdog Millionaire, which won eight Academy Awards besides a series of other international awards. The music composer's Jai Ho..., which featured in the film, went on to become the toast of Hollywood and gave the Indian composer international recognition. The screenplay of 127 Hours is by Simon Beaufoy, who was also a part of the Slumdog team. The movie is expected to hit the screens this November. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/music/Slumdog-Millionaire-combo-is-back/articleshow/6432984.cms -- *- Regards ~ ~ A.R.Rajib ~ ~*

Confirmed news has it that the ace music director has started composing the background score for the second half of the movie. AR Rahman commenced the rerecording for the second half of ‘Komaram Puli’ yesterday. It is said that, he will complete his duties by next week around the 2nd or 3rd of September. As it is the movie has faced a lot of trouble. But good news for fans is that the DTS mixing of the first half of the movie has started. Reliable sources add that the post-production formalities of ‘Puli’ will complete by the second week of September. The audio of ‘Komaram Puli’ was released on 11th July . At that time, producer Allu Arvind announced that he will release the movie through ‘Geetha Films’, his film distribution company. An updated message from Allu Sirish, his youngest son, says that the producers, Kanakaratna Movies, are having issues that they have to solve before release. The distributor ‘Geetha Films’ are ready to release the movie at any given time. As the distributor’s work starts only after receiving the movie’s prints, Sirish requested the fans to stay calm. The movie is most likely to be released in October or if the issues are solved earlier, the movie might be released in September itself. http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/telugu/article/59629.html -- *- Regards ~ ~ A.R.Rajib ~ ~*
[arr] Music, Mind, and Meaning
Has anyone wondered why and what makes music so powerful that has an ability to control human senses? How music touches our emotions? I just wanted to share this brilliant piece of scientific research article which I found on music. Though, it's lengthy, it is an excellent read and I would recommend this to every one. Somehow it relates to so many arguments that happen here and I hope every one will find their answers by reading this. http://web.media.mit.edu/~minsky/papers/MusicMindMeaning.html I'm just pasting a part of it below (taken randomly) as the entire article is too long!! *Composing and Conducting: * In seeing, we can move our eyes; lookers can choose where they shall look, and when. In music we must listen *here*; that is, to the part that's being played now. It is simply no use asking Music-Finder to look *there* because it's not then, now. If composer and conductor choose what part we hear, does not this ruin our analogy? When Music-Analyzer asks its questions, how can Music-Finder answer them unless, miraculously, the music happens to be playing what music-finder wants at just that very instant? If so, then how can music paint its scenes unless composers know exactly what the listeners will ask at every moment? How to ensure–when Music-Analyzer wants it now–that precisely that something will be playing now? That is the secret of music—of writing, playing, and conducting it! Music need not, of course, confirm each listener's every expectation; each plot demands some novelty. Whatever the intent, control is required or novelty will turn to nonsense. If allowed to think too much themselves, the listeners will find unanswered questions in any score—about accidents of form and figure, voice and line, temperament and difference-tone. Composers can have different goals: to calm and soothe, surprise and shock, tell tales, stage scenes, teach new things, or tear down prior arts. For some such purposes composers must use the known forms and frames or else expect misunderstanding. Of course, when expectations are confirmed too often the style may seem dull; this is our concern in the next section. Yet, just as in language, one often best explains a new idea by using older ones, avoiding jargon or too much lexical innovation. If readers cannot understand the words themselves, the sentences may be Greek to them. This is not a matter of a simple hierarchy, in which each meaning stands on lower-level ones, for example, word, phrase, sentence, paragraph, and chapter. Things never really work that way, and jabberwocky shows how sense comes through though many words are new. In every era some contemporary music changes basic elements yet exploits established larger forms, but innovations that violate too drastically the expectations of the culture cannot meet certain kinds of goals. Of course this will not apply to works whose goals include confusion and revolt, or when composers try to create things that hide or expurgate their own intentionality, but in these instances it may be hard to hold the audience. Each musical artist must forecast and pre-direct the listener's fixations to draw attention here and distract it from there–to force the hearer (again, like a magician does) to ask only the questions that the composition is about to answer. Only by establishing such pre-established harmony can music make it seem that something is there. **-- Cheers, Madhavan.R Be a Music Fan; not a Music Pirate!

Please find the attached excel that contains three sheets. This is just a scratch and please suggest to add more fields / modify existing fields. It would be ideal to have various information related to a song / album in different sheets keeping a primary field in all sheets, like song name, instead of trying to fill multiple information in the same sheet which may not be possible. Regarding collection of the basic data of songs and artist information, if one has songs ripped from original cd into iTunes playlist, it is easy to obtain the track details from Gracenote (for many if not all) and export the playlist into a text file which can further be edited in an excel file.

Extensibility is particularly important because there may be views of data that we don't conceive now but will be come apparent in future. A relational database schema seems like the best approach to take. Let me illustrate that with an example - in some cases you have credits for musicians for a song and in many cases only for an entire album. This is true for awards too. The only way this can be handled is through relational databases with well thought-through entity-relationships. I would therefore request that let our initial focus be on defining what kind of information are we seeking to archive and then design the database before getting down to implementation.

Re: [arr] Gotta think thrice before posting nowadays...
This is my 'long' standing view on 'Rahman reads all the mails in our group'. I don't think AR reads all mails here - I feel it's nearly impossible for him given the various roles he plays, the busy schedule he runs and the number of mails hits we have here. I guess Gopal / Vijay would share with him the general flavor of the conversations here as well as media in general and might forward him a couple of notes that they deem fit. I also feel that most people who post here share their genuine appreciation because they like what they hear and not because Rahman or Blaaze are reading their mails.

Though I don't agree with them I have my favorites from the past. Not just from Rahman. From all the composers, musicians and singers. But the fact is that it is not because the songs were better in the past. it is because we always hold on to our past. be it songs, incidents, falling in love, breakups, marraige functions, first job, college graduation, a great friend.. the whole life. We always think that past was somehow better. We are always worried about the future. don't we cherish memories from our childhood and teenage ? It is the same with songs. when we hear an old song, it triggers memories of incidents, people, happiness or sadness that we related to that particular song. Beatles' Yesterday is an absolute favorite of mine. there are plenty of great songs even better than that one. but it brings me back the memory of a great time had in Brunei when I got my first job there in 2003. That is when I started listening to international artistes often and on top of that I was in love. And, when I hear it now, it gives makes me feel like I have lost something but, in reality I haven't. I love Tanha Tanha from rangeela a lot. it is a great song, musically. But the reason I love it the most is because that is when I got my first portable cassette player (Videocon Walkman) along with a cassette of rangeela as a gift. I did my schooling in a hostel, and I became a popular kid because I had a walkman. lots of kids would come to our dormitory to listen to the songs. So, we put some money together and bought a speaker and placed it on top of a cardboard box with a hole in it, so the rest of the kids can hear it. I was so excited. because not only I got more friends, I was doing something with electronics stuff.. cutting the earphones and connecting the wires to the speaker, making the sound go louder with just one cardboard box with a hole! I felt like I was Einstein! now, when I hear that song.. it brings back memories of my friends, that cardboard box, that videocon walkman, and my great school and teachers. We all talk about how great the classics were. we regard RD Burman, Noushad, Ilaya Raja and the whole lot of great musicians as the best and some people even compare them with today's musicians and talk about how music has lost its soul. It hasn't lost any soul. it is because those people related to their most cherished memories when they hear their favorites. give today's music another 20 to 30 years and we will be talking about how great the 2010's music were. It is same for AR Rahman. the reason why some of you think that ar rahman created better music in 90s is because you were probably teenagers or children during that time and probably were having the greatest times of your life. there were lots of things happening, experiencing new things.. and probably ar rahman's music even helped you a lot at that time. and when you hear it now, you are taken back to that golden era of your life. try to understand that fact before saying ar rahman's music lost the soul. it only means that you have grown up, you have become more experienced, aged and wiser ( and probably grayer and fatter - no offense, just for fun.). get into the mindset of a teenager again and see if you all can enjoy the Kala Bandar and Jai Ho and Fiqraana and even Enthiran. I bet you will. sorry about the long post :) --- http://roshanravi.com http://ramblingsoul.com http://cssheaven.org
[arr] Re: [Non-ARR]Zack Hemsey - I am not Hans Zimmer
Inception score is my most favorite of the year. and the best of Zimmer (or maybe second best after TDK). true that Zack Hemsey did some awesome job in Mind Heist (in fact I posted it on group saying that it is by Zimmer) but at the same time if you listen to the score you realize that he basically re-used Zimmer's cues and added some more elements to it. so the underline inspiration is still the score by Zimmer. however the huge BHABHBHABHA... sounds he came up with are truly awesome compared to their version found in the score. /Jahanzeb --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Rahmaniac⢠himmathw...@... wrote: I know this is the second post that I am talking about other music director, but this is an extraordinary piece of work by this 27 year old young musician who gave me a feeling that the music that I heard was by Hans Zimmer. below is the soundtrack that I am talking about. http://music.zackhemsey.com/track/mind-heist above soundtrack is the trailer music of Inception, but not composed by Hans Zimmer.

[arr] Pending song hints
Some of the lyrics posted by Gopal a while back (1st-2nd week of July) - they are not Robot (Hindi) lyrics, cant possibly be Jhootha Hi Sahi songs (as its still to create any buzz). so what are these songs? Did we miss some surprise? or it is still pending 1. Na darwaza na thi khidki Dil mein gus aayi ek ladki Tera banjaaon Tu Meri Yehi tamanna hai is dil ki 2. Paagal, ek paagal ne yeh mujhse poocha Paagal se kya hai koyi paagal ooncha Paagal se kehdo ke jab yeh dil kho jaata hai Ohh, paagal seedha aur seedha paagal ho jaata hai 3. Kehne ko jashne-bahaara hai par phool se kushboo door bhala Ek taraf tere ishq ka chaiyyan duuje taraf dill duur chala Apparently, Amit Chandran was listening (yeah! listening) to Na Darwaza Na Thi Khidki song and enjoying it, but later he deleted that tweet :P

Re: [arr] Dileep Reborn....???
Well what you really missed was those impressive Ad jingles by the very same Dileep who is no other than AR himslef. It was the same Dileep who impressed Mani Ratnam. You might have also read that AR as Dileep had shocked many veteran composers who by then had predicted that this young AR (Dileep) will grow to the greater heights in music. Dileep was none other than the budding AR Rahman. Your stance to pull out Kamini Mathai's quote is equally disappointing as I considered her writing on AR was much to do with AR's religious matter than the man himself.

Malgudi Shubha and A.R.(Then Dileep) outing called SET ME FREE... Itz got the kind of mish-mash music.. a beat here and there a ballad over here and a rhyme there... And The Albums Ready...!!! That was dileep .. So... Lets say admit that A.R. is down in a lull... But there is a lull before every storm (PUYAL)... And hence, the Title ISAI PUYAL As my master taught me A.R. and told me FORM IS TEMPORARY, CLASS IS PERMANENT!!! JAI HO !!! P.S. Abt mentioning Dileep reborn regrets.. no one deserves that kind of calamity to occur in their lives... And I intend to oppose no one by this message/post... please forgive me if i have hurt anyone...By mentioning Dileep, i was only hinting at the 'kind' of music that dileep composed... This is a post for 'constructive criticism'... and dats it... ELLAAPUGHAZUM IRAIVANUKKE...
[arr] [Endiran dissapointed thread] All post here
Hi, i am starting this thread so that all those who are not liking or disappointed with Endiran songs/music can post here. So that all those can be with one single thread. I am starting this thread for 3 reasons 1. If at all AR / his crew would step to this thread they would get the feed back. 2. Avoiding duplicate of opinions and feedbacks from those who like Endiran thus, avoiding war of words. 3. Those who are satisfied with Endiran liking it or started liking it can avoid the thread if they feel so. Since I hope that this thread may have chances to be read by AR / his crew / associates who can communicate, I request you to refrain from being harsh with your posts. Also those who like Endiran songs please refrain from getting into arguments in this thread. I welcome those feedback which can precisely pointing out the aspects that lead to disappointment. Criticism have to be clear just like how one explains the liking of even those subtle bits in a song which had cast the magic. Lets watch how many could write the exact things that they consider Endiran has failed to impress. I hope that this will have the positive vibe amongst those who like those who don't like. Thanks, -R

Confirmed news has it that the ace music director has started composing the background score for the second half of the movie. AR Rahman commenced the rerecording for the second half of ‘Komaram Puli’ yesterday. It is said that, he will complete his duties by next week around the 2nd or 3rd of September. As it is the movie has faced a lot of trouble. But good news for fans is that the DTS mixing of the first half of the movie has started. Reliable sources add that the post-production formalities of ‘Puli’ will complete by the second week of September. The audio of ‘Komaram Puli’ was released on 11th July . At that time, producer Allu Arvind announced that he will release the movie through ‘Geetha Films’, his film distribution company. An updated message from Allu Sirish, his youngest son, says that the producers, Kanakaratna Movies, are having issues that they have to solve before release. The distributor ‘Geetha Films’ are ready to release the movie at any given time. As the distributor’s work starts only after receiving the movie’s prints, Sirish requested the fans to stay calm. The movie is most likely to be released in October or if the issues are solved earlier, the movie might be released in September itself. http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/telugu/article/59629.html -- /*- Regards ~ ~ A.R.Rajib ~ ~*/

Re: [arr] Mature vs. Immature ways of expressing disappointment
well written. I can just say the same words and label it as a serious fan reaction Vs casual listener reaction. From: AJ purev...@yahoo.com To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Fri, August 20, 2010 7:56:47 PM Subject: [arr] Mature vs. Immature ways of expressing disappointment I want to present a contrast between two ways of expressing disappointment and dislike over a Rahman album. These are just hypothetical examples as a whole but with real life expressions from the past from this group and elsewhere contained within. Mature: You know I really tried hard to give Rahman's latest album a chance, but I just couldn't get into it. Rahman really gave apt music for this type of film and I'm sure the music will gel well on screen, but I won't be listening to this album too much. It's just not the type of music that I like. A lot of my friends love it and that's just their taste, but for me, it's just not the type of music I can relate to well. I've noticed that Rahman's music is a lot more synth oriented these days, which is going with the trend, but I do miss the more acoustic oriented albums from the past, although I admit he has done quite a few beautifully acoustic and soulful songs recently in other albums. There are a couple of songs in this album that could grow over time and I can see Rahman's creative brilliance in the album and how he has experimented in a new direction, but I couldn't connect emotionally. I hope I like the next album and I know that ARR is still as creatively strong as ever despite me not liking his latest. I've been disappointed before and I will be disappointed again, but I have been amazed before and I will be amazed again! Such are the ways of being a passionate fan of a geniusly progressive and ever dynamic and bold artist that is ARR! Immature: What the heck did Rahman just do? Did he just give the score to his technicians and arrangers and just put his name for credit? The music hurts my ears! I wasted money on this! Rahman has truly lost it. Actually, he's lost it the past 5 yearsnot a single song that I am impressed with. How can he do this? Doesn't he know what his fans want? We want the young, 1990's Rahman backYES...the one that made SOULFUL and MELODIOUS compositions and touched you. Come on, guys, just admit ityou know for a fact that the Rahman we first fell in love with is not with usthis is someone else. Those who like this album only like it because of the name Rahman on it.if it were composed by anyone else, you would be shooting it down. Come one guys, you all know I'm right, you just have to admit it to yourself.

[arr] Re: Music, Mind, and Meaning
Appreciate this. Well written and insightful. I did research on this topic as part of my doctoral dissertation. Brings back memories! --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Madhavan Rajan rsamadhu2...@... wrote: Has anyone wondered why and what makes music so powerful that has an ability to control human senses? How music touches our emotions? I just wanted to share this brilliant piece of scientific research article which I found on music. Though, it's lengthy, it is an excellent read and I would recommend this to every one. Somehow it relates to so many arguments that happen here and I hope every one will find their answers by reading this. http://web.media.mit.edu/~minsky/papers/MusicMindMeaning.html I'm just pasting a part of it below (taken randomly) as the entire article is too long!! *Composing and Conducting: * In seeing, we can move our eyes; lookers can choose where they shall look, and when. In music we must listen *here*; that is, to the part that's being played now. It is simply no use asking Music-Finder to look *there* because it's not then, now. If composer and conductor choose what part we hear, does not this ruin our analogy? When Music-Analyzer asks its questions, how can Music-Finder answer them unless, miraculously, the music happens to be playing what music-finder wants at just that very instant? If so, then how can music paint its scenes unless composers know exactly what the listeners will ask at every moment? How to ensurewhen Music-Analyzer wants it nowthat precisely that something will be playing now? That is the secret of musicof writing, playing, and conducting it! Music need not, of course, confirm each listener's every expectation; each plot demands some novelty. Whatever the intent, control is required or novelty will turn to nonsense. If allowed to think too much themselves, the listeners will find unanswered questions in any scoreabout accidents of form and figure, voice and line, temperament and difference-tone. Composers can have different goals: to calm and soothe, surprise and shock, tell tales, stage scenes, teach new things, or tear down prior arts. For some such purposes composers must use the known forms and frames or else expect misunderstanding. Of course, when expectations are confirmed too often the style may seem dull; this is our concern in the next section. Yet, just as in language, one often best explains a new idea by using older ones, avoiding jargon or too much lexical innovation. If readers cannot understand the words themselves, the sentences may be Greek to them. This is not a matter of a simple hierarchy, in which each meaning stands on lower-level ones, for example, word, phrase, sentence, paragraph, and chapter. Things never really work that way, and jabberwocky shows how sense comes through though many words are new. In every era some contemporary music changes basic elements yet exploits established larger forms, but innovations that violate too drastically the expectations of the culture cannot meet certain kinds of goals. Of course this will not apply to works whose goals include confusion and revolt, or when composers try to create things that hide or expurgate their own intentionality, but in these instances it may be hard to hold the audience. Each musical artist must forecast and pre-direct the listener's fixations to draw attention here and distract it from thereto force the hearer (again, like a magician does) to ask only the questions that the composition is about to answer. Only by establishing such pre-established harmony can music make it seem that something is there. **-- Cheers, Madhavan.R Be a Music Fan; not a Music Pirate!
