the person has actually exaggerated HJ..It is very difficult for anyone to
accept his statement
"we wont lose even a single sound"..whoever be the music director there are
certain sounds
which will come to our notice only by paying utmost attention..and only
through speakers
Also ARRs songs will remain in one's memory forever..that is repeated
hearing is possible but in case of harris once the movie time and the period
id over..it is boring..that is where ARR stands out among all other
musicians.

Hi Fans,
I dont know what is the "number" of this explanation, but anyway -
thought I will also do my bit here...
When you "consider" seriously, there may be some possibilities as I
have listed them below.
1. Guru might not have needed that kind of sound. Mani was probably
given some samples and it might well be HE who decided it.
2. Rahman probably "hires" those equipments as a cost-cut measure and
Mani is an MBA. So, they might have "calculated" a lot of things about
what is important rather than going with THE BEST always...
3. Guru involves a "period element" in its story. That is why they
didn't use ultra-modern lyrics and so did away with the ultra-sfx
sound stuff and went with something that is warm and original,
reminding us to some extent the (g)olden times. That is my reasoning
why there was a song like "Baazi Lagaa" in the first place, but why it
DIDNT sound at least like the rest is something I myself am thinking
about...
4. I will now return to the "old classical arguement" and mention ONLY
ONE point that suit this writing IN GENERAL - including, but not
restricted to Guru.
Rahman uses more LIVE instruments and wants them to sound just like
that (WHHIWWH (What he hears is what WE hear)) - of course with some
manipulations and improvisations here and there...
Finally, I DONT get a feeling something has gone wrong.
Please reply to the following:
Mention some ARR songs which sounded EXACTLY like HR's Unnaale
Unnaale. So that...
a. We can understand what you (the person who started it and those who
support it) are trying to refer exactly as the difference.
b. We can try to respond "quantitatively" to the message...
Thanks for reading.
Chandra.
