Re: [arr] Re: Why the past songs are better
I guess, the feeling is similar to human nature/behavior where one always remember ones childhood days no matter how complaining one had been during those days and how understanding one is at present time of life. But this is just what I guess.

Re: [arr] Re: Co-Music Director in Dehli-6???
Guysthe other music director is additional mixer. Just the way Ranjit Barot and few others collaborated with Rahman. The whole composition is credited to Rahman only.

They are Indian folk songs which have been sung for ages in certain parts of the country.It was Raguvir Yadav who suggested these songs to Rakesh Mehra. He then used Rajat Dholakia to record them with Prasoon adding some of his own lyrics. ARR then remixed (I hate to use it) them to bring out the magic in these songs. It is such a welcome change to see people being inspired from their own culture and country rather than lifting some unknown song and not crediting it. The team used the song and they gave credit where deserved and should now get all the credit they deserve. - It would still have been great if we could track down the composer of these songs.

From: Pravinder Sheoran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2008 4:24:21 PM Subject: [arr] Re: Is AR Rahman's music becoming more of a contemporary Hindi Film Music Hey man, Its good to see you write after a long time. And you've come with a very sensitive issue, which if taken even slightly wrongly, may bring a storm in the group. So, I'll write carefully, as follows: There was a time when whatever A R Rahman composed, became contemporary music. He defined the contemporary music and others merely followed him. Especially in south, north was not any exception as well. Times have changed now, so many young music composers have evolved and sometimes its hard to distinguish the styles especially because almost everyone has followed ARR in some manner. And everyone is copying world music equally well. Also, we are exposed to American pop/rap more than we ever were. Copying their beats or making same kind of music has become a fashion. Now, if you follow very carefully the time between 2000 and 2006, how successfull do you think ARR's music was as compared to old days. The only reason is that ARR was still composing his kind of music but rest of country was more intrested in listening all the american crap which was wraped nicely in indian style by our very talented copycats. If you take the example of Guru Dutt, we all know he was a legendary director, perhaps the best we ever had after Satayjeet Ray (Mani Ratnam in recent times). He followed his own path, his own unique style and made movies which were way ahead of their time. Do you think he was considered legendary, when he was alive? No. Do you think he lived a happy and peacefull life? No. At the last days of his career, he had to beg small rolls (side rolls/supporting rolls) to survive. He was so afraid of making a flop movie that he had to make a movie shadow-directed by his assistant (Sahib biwi aur gulam). Why? Because he followed his own style, his own path. Did our great ancesstors recognize his legendary work while he was alive? No. He became a legend after his death. Don't you think same could not happen to ARR? Yes, I believe it could. If ARR had not changed his style at right time, he would have ended in same way. And after 20 years our kids would be saying, ARR was a great music composer, a legendary MD. Guys, I have seen my friends saying ARR is the greatest music composer in world when they listened 'Pappu can't dance', 'Shano Shano', or 'Pathsala'. which all had cotemporary kindish music. These are the same guys who used to tell me how crap my music choice was when I used to listen to Zubeidaa, Bose or Nayak or Love you hamesha. which all had uniqe ARR style. How many of your friends appriciate Jodhaa Akbar? So its all surviving instincts. ARR has to do it. And we should feel lucky because he is doing it. Because if he stays commercially successfull, he will surely compose an ADA, a JODHAA AKBAR every once in a while. I am sorry if I am wrong or if I don't make any sense or if I've got it compeletly wrong way. But that's how I feel.

[arr] Is AR Rahman's music becoming more of a contemporary Hindi Film Music
Hello Everyone, My apologies, in case I am wrong, but I feel AR Rahman's music is now shifting to more of the contemporary Hindi film music. Now I do barely listen to the drums/thumps/time-sliced beats/female harmonies and all. I am yet to explore fully the Yuvraaj and Ghajini music scores, though their promos and JTYJN seems to be composed with a more contemporary Hindi music audience. Ada is an exception as I believe it has been composed over the years, when the boss was still having a unique blend of music. Shift to a more contemporary music wears my heart out as I always refered to AR Rahman as being a unique sound of music. What's your say on this? Your's, Abhimanyu.

A R R is a one man army unlike Beatles and AC/DC His music only speaks for him. The variety (number of genres, ambience, period musicals, etc) that ARR handled is far more than any other artist in the world Courage for experimentation, like delivering chinese, karnatic classical, hindustaani, Qawwaali, and western music at the same time.. Year 2004 is the best example And above all, he is an INDIAN !!!

[arr] Jodhaa Akbar meets the same fate?
I have been observing this for more than a decade now - everyone appreciates the music, the movie, the concept and so on; but when it comes to box-office collections - things fail to impress miserably. I think the same will happen to Jodhaa Akbar - the movie will not be able to recover the costs put in. Though it will continue to remain with the fans forever, but the end result to the public at large will be - loser. I think the major problems over the years has been - unable to determine the target audience and then failing to connect to them. The best example to look forward is Mr. Aamir Khan. He targets a specific audience, and then relates the movie with them. What do you guys say? Your's, Abhimanyu. - Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
Re: [arr] [Jodha Akbar - After watching 2nd time] - BGM of life time
Hey Man, You sound amazing. Seems, the experiences will last lifetime.I am still drooled over the music of the movie, but yes, I'll watch on the computer as soon as the original DVD is out. That way, I'll have access to all the background music scores. By the way, in case you do not know - the movie has been delayed by around 50 days, as AR Rahman wanted to give some special treatment on the background music score. Pravinder Sheoran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi All, I watched the movie second time with perhaps the worst audience ever. They did not have any respect for history or director or actors or music director. Many people were involved in making comments on serious scenes, making fun of songs and all that. But it also gave me a chance to see the real effect of Direction and music direction. I still can not forget when Khwaja Mere Khwaja song came all the audience was stuck to their seats. While "Azim-o-shan shehanshah" came audience was shocked and the effect of the song was so hard on them that none of those fun making guys even moved from their seats till the movie finished. Coming to the BGM now: Many things go unnoticed when you see the movie first time but second time makes it crystal clear. Rahman Saab has outdone himself and the background score of Jodhaa Akbar is perhaps the best of all his work till date; and i am sure will always be remembered as a landmark and will be an inspiration to millions of other composers. A few things about BGM: 1. SITAR pieces: Oh my god, i have not listened to anything like this before. I think some Raga is played on Sitar many times in the movie. Whenever its played it takes your breath away. I think after Naushad Saab no one has used Sitar in such magnificent way. If Naushad Saab was alive, he surely would have praised ARR with 1000 words. 2. ARABIC pieces: ARR Sir, i do not know if God exists or not but when i listened your Arabic instrumental pieces in JA, i surely felt God somewhere near me. How can you use almost every instrument with such a perfection. Oh god those divine tunes will haunt me forever. 3. Jashn-e-bahara vocals and instrumentals: I have started liking the song and singer 100 times more than before since i have heard that vocals only piece. You could feel the pain in the voice. You can feel love in the air whenever the instruments of the song start. 4. Man mohana: Remember the ending of the song, the slow paced vocals, those are used at one place where Akbar is going in slow motion thinking about Jodhaa (And he imagines her singing the end lines of man mohana song). Ultimate piece of communication between Ashutosh and ARR. 5. In Lamhon ke daman Maain instrumentals: No words to express those feelings (and those goosebumps in heart and stomach) when every time the starting instruments of this song are played as BGM. Out of the world feelings come through the mind. 6. Beginning titles: I think its Sonu Nigam who sings while the beginning title roll. He sings the word MOHABBAT in a very unique way. It gives you a feel of a tail yet to be told. 7. Orchestra: The use of orchestra (symphony kind of music)has been tremendous. At the scenes where Akbar gets angry, there has been a very dangerous kind of music (hard to explain, sorry). It raises your hair on arms. 8. Khawaja mere khawaja instrumental: Its used at times when someone is depressed or sad. 9. Man mohana instrumental: The tune of the song and some instruments of the song are used very very beautifully at many places.. 10. Many more: I have forgotten many other small pieces, they were all superb. I hardly can stop myself from going again in cinemas to listen to the Divine, Pure, Warm and out of the world Background score of Akbar Jodhaa. Hats off to His Excellency, Sir A R Rahman. Pravinder.
