Re: [arr] The song was formally released on the occasion of the force's investiture ceremony

[Prashanth Murali Nottath]

Sorry if it's been posted before. Can anyone give a link to listen to the
song? If it's not a commercial song, then is it available for free download
somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [arr] ARR is 6th position in the world

[Prashanth Murali Nottath]

Considering every 5th guy in the world is an Indian, and considering that to
the best of my knowledge there are no Rahman like musicians (globally
appreciated) in China, I think Rahman is safely the most listened to
musician in the world.

Re: [arr] Name of Instrument used in Rehna Tu

[Prashanth Murali Nottath]

A doubt folks.
Has Rahmanji used continuum in the song "Theendai" from En Swasa Kaatre? The
opening minute of that song features an instrument which resembles it.

Re: [arr] Re: Couples Retreat | AR's New Hollywood Project !

[Prashanth Murali Nottath]

Chris,
I get your point, no need to make such a big fuss out of something which I
just gave a moment's thought to. I don't need your certification for being a
Rahmaniac or not.

I think my involvement in this topic ends here. Sorry for wasting time of
many members here with my not so serious thoughts.

Prash.

Guys, it was plain wishful thinking. I know it is not going to happen.
However I want the Rahman touch to be there, hence it cannot be exactly 100%
western.

Re: [arr] Couples Retreat | AR's New Hollywood Project !

[Prashanth Murali Nottath]

I understand he is doing the soundtrack of the movie. So might as well
incorporate some tunes of the maestro Ilayaraja (Just bits) as a homage in
between (Like he incorporated soundtrack from Don in SDM). Just a wishful
thought. Nothing too much to be read into it. :-)

Could you please tell me what is the name of the instrument used heavily in

could you please clarify?

Re: [arr] Couples Retreat | AR's New Hollywood Project !

[Prashanth Murali Nottath]

Great news. However Oscars can be expected only if the film itself is an
Oscar favorite, regardless of the music.

And I don't think there will be songs as such in the movie, otherwise it
would be marketed as a musical.

Expecting a lot of sampling from Rahman from Indian movies as well. Here's
to hoping that a tune or two of Ilayaraja also gets in there!! :P

This will also be a good test of how Rahman can adapt to completely
different setting. His earlier ventures had some elements of Bollywood in
it. This is completely Hollywood.

Re: [arr] Re:Harris Jeyaraj better than A.R.Rehman( my reply)

[Prashanth Murali Nottath]

Hi,

Fun thing here is that the guy is comparing Boss's Hindi albums with Tamil
Composers! Tamil Music Industry requires a different set of enjoyment
aspects (Sivaji, Sakkarakkatti) etc, while in Hindi the requirements are
different. The maestro recognises that and is able to churn out hits in both
ways. No wonder his tracks rule the roost in both languages, which is
phenomenal.

As to Ada, it is a wonderful, wonderful album. I thought it was a better
album than JTYJN. Though JTYJN is *THE MOST POPULAR ALBUM *this year.

Harris Jayaraj is a talented, but a bit one-dimensional in my opinion.
However there are fresh voices coming up in Tamil Industry like Vasanth
Saravanan (Subrahmanyapuram) etc. Instead of pitching all them straight up
against the meastro, why don't we enjoy the value addition they provide to
music? These are exciting times!

Music is a sea, and any question of competition is just a joke.

Regards,

Prash.

Re: [arr] rahman + small time tamil directors!!

[Prashanth Murali Nottath]

I think it's more owing to lack of time, than any other care. The
genius's hands are full with multilingual assignments. He himself
clarified that position in an interview some time back.

And let's not forget, he made lagaan for a new director, similarly
jillunu kadhal, A T M, etc. He is at present having sakarakatti also.

Re: Fwd: [arr] ARR BIOGRAPHY

[Prashanth Murali Nottath]

I agree fully with Aminji. Also it's way too early to make a biography
of the genius. And regarding acknowledgement, the very fact there
exists people like us who eat, drink and sleep Arr is more gratifying
for the master than any book or stuff.

Re: [arr] ARR'S Discipline

[Prashanth Murali Nottath]

Yes. I agree. Let's not deviate from the core human and genius that is
ARR. Bringing religion/superstition, which the master himself insists
is private, will dilute the quality of discussion that's happening
here.

Let's leave his private and intimate things to himself. And let's
bathe in his glorious genius, which transcends whatever human barriers
ever created.

Re: [arr] ARR'S Discipline

[Prashanth Murali Nottath]

I worship ARR. However i fail to see how his insistence on following
superstition makes him a wholesome leader. No offence meant.

composers like Pritam and Yuvan Shnakar Raja has cut pasted tunes from other
