Go deep into the psyche ad come out with one song you consider to be purely divine in nature. It could be any song and it is also very personal. Often Rahman says that the song comes from above and that he is just an instrument. So let me start of this discussion with my personal favourite MUNBE VAA ( SILLUNU ORU KADHAL ) I know it is many of your favourites. Well, it is not mine. It is not just my favourite, rather i would say it is my lifeline. The more I listen to this song, the more I feel rejuvenated. Till today I consider this song straight from heavens where I imagine the gandharvas playing in the skies and that Rahman has brought this for the earthlings. No matter how much I write about this song, I feel empty. I like to speak about this song, listen to this song and devour this brilliance. Last week a north Indian friend of mine comes up to me and asks for this song. Being a bit possessive about this song, I was reluctant to share in the beginning. But the divine nature of this song caught up in me and pushed me into passing the song to him. Such is the power of this song. My friend, who doesnt have any idea of tamil, is taken aback by the composition. I am only glad to exlplain the lyrics and the situation in the movie. I am blessed Thanks Sujith Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage. Get it now, on http://help. yahoo.com/ l/in/yahoo/ mail/yahoomail/ tools/tools- 08.html/ Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage.

Music Review of Jodha Akbar Azeem-O-Shaan Shahenshah - Mohammed Aslam, Bony Chakravarthy Chorus After seeing the stills of Aishwarya and Hrithik in royal costumes, listening to this song immediately, I was in awe of how brilliantly Rahman has captured the greatness and grandeur of the Mughal king and the era in his music! This is the song which sits in heart instantly. I loved the chorus and the way the female voices join the male voices and the male voices with the female in the second part of the song, in a beautiful humming . With the wonderful beats throughout the song, this song becomes an aural treat. There is a line in this song about the greatness of Akbar - Jitna kahe hum, utna kam hai â The same can be said about this song and the greatness of Rahmanâs music! Jashn-E-Bahaaraa - Javed Ali This is a soft, lovely song that is completely in contrast to Azeem-O-Shaan. When I listened to this song first (in the trailer), I didnât like Javed Aliâs voice that much. Now, after listening to the full song so many times, my opinion has changed and I find his voice so well suited for this song. Jashn-E-Bahaaraa (Instrumental - Flute) I love the flute. I am so happy that Rahman chose to release the instrumental version of the full song. If you liked the lyrics of Jashn-E-Bahaara and felt that you were able to relate to the mood of the song all the more because of the lyrics and the rendition of it by Javed Ali, then listen to this one that is sans lyrics. With music like this one, you need no lyrics. Inn Lamhon Ke Daaman Mein - Sonu Nigam Madhushree Sonu Nigamâs voice always adds more beauty to a song, however good or bad it might be. The song starts with Sonu Nigam singing it so softly with soft beats and instruments in the background. You get completely immersed in it when all of a sudden you hear the chorus singing accompanied by some amazing percussion and then there is Sonu again! Wow! I loved the interlude between Sonu Nigamâs and Madhushreeâs part. As Madhushree starts singing, I noticed that the lyrics didnât have any (or many?) Urdu words. Since Jodha was a Rajput, there is no Urdu? If Madhushreeâs voice sounded sweet when she sings those beautiful lines, what can you say about the part sung by Sonu Nigam that follows?! Mere khwaabon ke iss gulistaan mein, Tumse hee toh bahaar chhaayi hai, Phoolon mein rang mere the lekin, Inn mein Khushboo tumhee se aayi hain..

[arr] Re: My Jodha Akbar Music Review - King Rahman's Masterpiece
Excellent review! Aparna http://aparna-a.com --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Chord [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have been waiting for what seems like eons to finally listen to the music of Jodha Akbar. From the very beginning when I first heard of the project, being a period film with Ashutosh as director, I surmised and hoped that Rahman's best would be tapped once more. I honestly feel that Rahman's best was not tapped in his recent Hindi or Tamil efforts, but that is another debate (not that I don't enjoy his latest offerings). I have been very vocal about JA recently, not only because of all the delays (I needed to vent!), but also due to cautious excitement in believing that something very special was about to be delivered by our Boss. Like with all ARR albums, this album has yet to fully absorb itself within my psyche as it's just in its infancy of release. Here are my opinions on each track as I have formed until now, possibly subject to some modification over time, but likely to stick at its core 1) Azeem O Shaan - Song spells grandeur and pomp. Like the loopy, punchy rhythm with some variations in between. Incredible use of drums, percussion as Shivamani has outdone himself. Of particular amazement if use of the the Japanese sword sound and rhythms in the second interlude. That is so awesome. I like the chorus overdubs too. However, I found the track overall a bit musically dry with little musical interludes and emphasis more on rhythm, which may be appropriate for the film situation. My least favorite track relatively. (7/10) 2) Jashne Bahaar - Love the use of the Oud throughout this beautifully crafted and melodically simple track. Simple, but brilliant and heartwarming melody rendered to perfection by Javed Ali, who has sung his best song to date with this in all probability. I like his strong, clear voice a lot and he sings with good emotional strength. Love the intense Santoor flurry at the end of the first musical interlude preceded by a melodically beautiful Oud solo. Rahman has used beautiful synth warm pads with soft strings to create a texturally delicious aural backdrop and soundscape to the song with his vintage trademark of delicate chord sequences. 8/10 3) Khwaja Mere Khwaja - Wah! Kya Baat Hai Rahman Saab!!! I have never heard Rahman sing in such pure classical form during his frequent alaaps. Though we have heard him run away with sargams in other tracks, he has delved into the heavier side of classical singing with this piece de resistance of a track. The song builds so beautifully beginning with harmonium and alaap, transitioning to the chordal piano loop, eventually to tabla with madham khayal (medium tempo) to drut khayal (fast tempo at the end). Love the claps on the downbeat rhythms. Last but not least, what an amazing musical interlude as Rahman changes raagas from Alaya Bilawal to Kalingda with use of what sounds like a flute and oboe combined. Gives the interlude a strong middle eastern, moghul flavor. Rahman uses the same interlude melody overlayed during the song's final stanzas with amazing harmonization that only a musical genius can accomplish. Mindblowing track sung with great passion and devotional love. (10/10) 4) In Lamhon Ke - Such a dynamic track, unusual in structure without sounding too experimental. Incredible singing by Sonu and Madhushree with breath-taking melodies. Arrangement wise, there is too much going on for me to get into detail here. There are so many beautiful ornamental touches throughout the song with flute and santoor weaving in and out to create one of the most beautiful aural tapestries. The first interlude is mindblowing with heavy chorus rendering fast taranas in raaga Desh followed by a heavy and dramatic antara with raaga Kirwani following a crescending melodic contour with eventual denuvement back to the main melodic theme. I wish the sitar piece in the second interlude was longer and more elaborated as it just teased a bit before Madhushree joins. She sings her part with such sweetness and smoothness with incredible melodic lilt. (9/10) 5)Man Mohanna - When I first heard that there was going to be a Bhajan, I was very happy as I loved the previous two Bhajans from Lagaan and Swades. This track totally blew me away with its intense devotional rendering by Bela Shende and heavy classical style of singing which is performed to perfection in raaga Mishra Bhairavi. I've said before that I'm a sucker for semi classical forms of music and to me, nobody does it better today than Rahman in film compositions. The instrumental interludes with flute and strings create some of the most haunting and expansive sounds and melodies we've heard from Rahman in a long time. The thythms are so beautifully crafted with tabla and ghattam? moving along a steady

[arr] Re: My ATM review
Excellent write-up! Cheers, Aparna http://aparna-a.com --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Thulasi Ram [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I had to dedicate two hours for penning this review. I appreciate those who take time to go through this. Thanks. First things first: ARR is doing re-recording/BGM for ATM. It's confirmed from reliable sources. Don't keep on spreading rumors. Rather, start spreading this information. Understand the reality: You cannot have ATM songs in a movie like Boys and the vice versa is also not possible. ARR has come up with some working numbers to suit the image of a hero who has the potential to hit deep. So, free your mind and enjoy the songs given by the musical genius. A bit of history- The lesson learnt: Till 2001, if an ARR song doesn't catch me instantly, I used to keep rambling like many in this group (!). I remember how bad I felt about mudhalvan songs initally. Later I realized how those songs grew in me. Similar case happened with Alaipayuthey. I never liked yaaro yaarodi, evano oruvan. But later, I realized how ARRs song create a swinging shift thereby making someone to rethink what he/she has thought about it initially. Okay there you go! That's ARR for you. I made something firm in me. i.e. Not to take any quick decisions for ARR albums. This strategy has worked great for me. For example, I never liked tu bin and lukka chuppi from RDB initially but I believed that ARR's song will grow in me. Later I felt that lukka chuppi is a gem of a song and tu bin bataye a golden gift from ARR. Bottom line: Accept ARRs songs as it comes and it will definitely strike gold in you simply because, music from ARR is not a result of ARRs work but ARRs blood. A man who has dedicated his life to music and a man who has the courage to experiment new sounds and genre of music. A simple example: When did rap become famous in regional movies? Only after ARR bought rap stuff in alai payuthe. Okay, lets dive into the subject of this mail. ATM Review: After Laggan, all songs in an ARR album have caught me instantly only in ATM i.e. m hearing all songs without skipping from day 1. My pick of the album: Merlyn Monroe (just a shade sweeter than all the other magnificent songs in the album) Album rating: 10/10. Bottomline: A versatile Rahman in show. ARR makes music sound easy but it is not easy. ATM has a bunch of complex compositions. Kudos to all lyricists. *Ellapugazhum* Brilliance of ARR ARR's voice and rendition; Great and mesmerizing. ARR adds life to the song The use of electric guitar - that's ARR for you Magnificent use of chords that pump the adrenalin (sample 4:02 - 4:10) The way the song ends.. Scintillating! Reverberating chiming section throughout the song - ARRs mind in play Constant energy-sprinkling percussion which sounds great in 5.1 *Merlyn Monroe* Brilliance of ARR Stylish Stylish Stylish The way the song begins is too sexy. LOVE IT! Notice that there are *NO* percussion in this song. Just the chiming sounds with bass guitar does the trick for the song. That's ARR for you again Amazing additional programming. High-tech sounds embellish the song Casual rendition by male singer and female voice getting quite squeaky.. This balance has worked out great in the song Mesmerizing male and female alaaps. A complex song to execute. *Valayapatti* Brilliance of ARR Check out different layers in the song. All unique but very tough to compose Raaga and corresponding alaap. Just magnificient! Come on, could anyone merge both folk and carnatic genre?? Only ARR can handle it so professionally. Result: A magnificient song like this Use of nathaswaram.. ARR makes even that instrument sound so pleasant to hear. The connection between both charanam and pallavi is too good. Folk + carnatic + percussion alaap (dheem thanaku dheem) Use of bass guitar and making it play all along when the raaga alaap is rendered. This is vintage ARR. Use of Naresh and madhumitha is commendable *Kelamal* Brilliance of ARR Only ARR can handle melodies like munbae vaa, kaatril(from GF) and a song like this.. All are melodies but fall info different percussion genre. Just awesome. Ketu rasitha padal ondrai bit is amazing and mesmerizing. An alternate version of it in the middle of the song is just scintillating Singer selection has again worked out beautifully for ARR. The song decorated by various versions of chiming sounds Kokilam Kokilam bit is very much hummable. A simple percussion handled so professionally to suit a melody like this *Maduraiku* Brilliance of ARR Again, the instrument melam sounds professional when ARR uses it. This aspect as always been very unique for ARR. He does something to make the instruments and singers voice to suit the mood of the song. That's the brilliance of ARR Song beginning is very catchy and suits village

[arr] The magic of A R Rahman
Here's my latest blog post: I recently transferred some of my favourite songs that I haven't listened to for quite sometime, to my mobile. So, I have almost stopped listening to radio now. The next three paras of this post is what I typed in my mobile as a message when I was travelling home from work after I pressed the play button in the music player with the random option turned on. :) As the bus travels down the East Coast Road at God-knows-what speed, I am enjoying my journey listening to Rahman's songs. :) Pachchai KiLigaL - I am listening to it after a long time. I love everything about it - the humming in the beginning, lovely lines like `naan innoru piravi unnai petraal innum aanandam', the interlude/music at around 2 minutes. Munching a Dairy Milk Eclairs, listening to Jiya Jale ( wonderful beats and flute interludes :) ), cool breeze caressing my face (surprisingly the person sitting next to me has allowed me to keep the window fully open!), pachai kiLigaL ending and MalargaLe playing next and the beats in the song starting just as I finish typing the previous line, I am loving every minute of the bus ride! :) I got into the bus feeling a bit tired but now I feel as though my energy level has shot up ten times! :) As though in sync with my mood, the next song is Akkadanu naanga! Wow! The next one - Andha Arabic! Is there anything better than Rahman himself lending his voice to his own music? ;) Dil Se Re! Oh my God! It feels as though Rahman himself wanted to cheer me up and stop feeling tired! :D It hasn't stopped yet. Doubling up my happiness is the song Sevvanam now! :) Just as my stop was nearing, Thee Thee started and I had to stop the song midway and get down from the bus. :( But, how can I even imagine sleeping without listening to Thee Thee after listening to it halfway? ;) After listening to Thee Thee, Aayo Re Sakhi and Vasishnava Janato, I am now listening to veLLai pookaL. :) Who's in a mood to sleep now when all one wants to do is listen to Rahman's songs again and again and again :) Cheers, Aparna http://aparnasblog.wordpress.com/

[arr] Spirit of Unity Concert
Hi everyone! I have been a silent member of this group for a very long time. First of all, I would like to thank all the members. Because of you all, I got to know a lot more about Rahman besides, getting to read so many interviews of his and also listen to so many wonderful BGMs that some of the members have been kind enough to upload. As some of you might be knowing, the Spirit of Unity Concert is being re-telecast nowadays on DD at 10.30 am on Sundays. I recorded the title music recently. I don't know whether this one has been uploaded earlier (The one I downloaded from FTP a few months back was different).
