[arr] Re: A.R.Rahman Religion Story
Okay, I would never discuss these things here, but I owe it to A R that I must clear obvious mistakes. I must say that some of the info is pretty close to the actual story, but isn't. Abdul Qadir Jeelani is a Muslim scholar from many centuries ago, so the name of the guy is Kareemullah I think (I think AR had KM studio in his honor). The name issue I have discussed before. His name was originally Abdur-Rahman or Abdul Rahman. For Roja, not his mom but K. BALACHANDER requested that he use the muslim name. So A R R wanted to use ONLY the initials A R as it sounded cool :) But Balachander liked the ring of A R Rahman, and A R became Allah-Rakha which again is actually a single name. I know it sounds pretty fantastic, but this is the real story. I hope you have seen in the past 6 1/2 years that I don't post inaccurate info about A R :) --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Rahmaniac⢠[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I understand most of us are not completely aware of the series of events happened during those 10 transition years...so, someone in a blog nicely wrote the details...

The story: After his father passed away, the burden of earning the bread and butter for his family fell on Dileep's shoulders at the very young age of 11, and because of that, he had been struggling extremely hard for some years. His family went through a rough patch following his father's death, which literally shook their world. He even had to work in amateur Kannada plays at the age of 13, to earn money for his family. Because of these hardships, sometime afterwards he stopped believing in the God. He believed that there was no God. There was a feeling of restlessness within him. But later when he stabilized himself, he found that the concept of God in Islam was very appealing to him. He learnt that there can be no life without a force governing, without God. And then he found what he was looking for - in Islam. It all happened around 1988, when one of his sisters fell seriously ill, with similar inexplicable conditions as their father. Numerous attempts to cure her failed. Her condition progressively worsened. The family tried everything from medicine to religious methods like havanas and prayers in the church. The family had given up all hope; when they came in contact with a Muslim Pir called as Pir Karimulla Shah Qadri or Sheik Abdul Qadir Jeelani Sahib or Pir Qadri. The family had earlier gone to the Pir when Dileep's father had similar troubles, but were too late to save him. With Pir's prayers and blessings, Dileep's sister made a miraculous recovery. Pir Quadri advised the family frequently. It was Pir who taught them the purpose of life, and also led Dileep and his family members to accept Islam. Rattled by the bad experiences earlier in the case of his father and now his sister, and influenced by the teachings of the Pir and the succor that they found in him, the entire family converted to Islam. So great was the influence of the Pir on the family, that Dileep started using the place which he had blessed first as his music room, and later, when he started becoming successful, a studio. When the family shifted to their current house, they resolved to stick to the devotion. So he and his family - excluding one of his sisters - converted to Islam. But it was not an instantaneous decision - it took them whole 10 years to come to that decision. The meeting with Pir was, for Dileep, an inner awakening and cleansing. He started feeling, that it is not about being Hindu or being Muslim or anything, but there is this one feeling and that is God - The Almighty. Both his father and mother were strong believers in Astrology. His mother took him along once to an astrologer called Ulaganathan, in Chennai, to get the horoscope for her second daughter Bala. She asked the astrologer to suggest an Islamic name for Dileep. The astrologer immediately suggested 'Abdul Rahman' and also asked him to shorten it to AR Rahman. When
[arr] Re: Can someone define living up to ARR's own standards?
Yea I got that :) I would have them on my list too.. Completely strange vocals (other than the style) in some songs, although in Arari Ariraro (Karuthamma) and Thirupachi Arivale (Taj Mahal) he makes it work! To Chord and others, of course A R R still makes excellent music. That was not being disputed here. All I was doing was answering your question of A R R living up to his standards (or not). I do also believe that A R R built a fan-base based on his early 90s music, and he must be true to the aspect of his music that is not reliant on technology (the untouchable, abstract). In the name of innovativeness, he cannot isolate the fan base completely. He doesn't go back to his earlier work, but he has to go back within himself and stay honest to that. And I believe he does that, and because of this, although SEL's jazz sounds like jazz, A R's jazz still sounds Rahmanesque. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Vijay Iyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: the 3 tracks i ve listed are in reference to the 5 u said are difficult to LIKE On Jan 28, 2008 2:42 AM, Vijay Iyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Rano, i definitely do agree to the 'generation' gap herewhoa !! and to think the only generation gap was between elders who used to listen to MSV and others and us lot who rediscovered film music with A R R..a lot of people who have tuned in to A R R s music should go back and listen to ALL his stuff between 92 and 97 I tried hard to replay all the songs in my mind and came up with these 3 for now..PAROTA PAROTA from Vandi Cholai Chinrasu, YEDUKU PONDATI from Keezaku Cheemayile and KOKU SAIDE KOKU from Muthu.all 3 are very very situational but very very 'different'..there was a phase where moviemakers and lyricists tried to overdo the jeans pant baggy pant bit (started from gentleman and then hit the pits with the track onu rendu moona da...from pudhiya manargal...notice the 1st stanza where the words jeans and baggy are used and the tune seems so completely in contrast !) and also overdose of elderly voices (again started from roja and then the track in muthu which ive mentioned above).

Great translation.. Just a few points.. Saara sadaqa aap ka = All the *charity* is yours (Literal).. Or the only meaningful charity is yours (Interpreted) .. Also, qalb means HEART. Also Sooraj ka uthna hai aap se obviously shouldn't be read for its literal meaning, but as, loosely, you are an integral, active part of the Divine plan/destiny..

There is one by some Liyakat Ajmeri, and the rest are by some Raj Verma. One correction... this track is not exactly a Naat, it's a Nasheed. Naat is generally referred to any religious poems/shayari/verses. Whether a Naat contains music or not is completely up to the producer of Naat, it doesn't have to be one way or other. Usually Naats praise the God, but when they are specifically meant for prophet Muhammed(PBUH), they are called Nasheeds. Therefore, this album has all Nasheeds. Marhaba Mustafa is an awesome Nasheed, very simple yet spiritual. The one thing different about it is the arabic rhythm/singing layered with guitar/strings, and it has the regular harmonium and claps. It's a soul-stirring song, as soon as I heard it, it kept on repeating it my head, it has that effect. Soulful singing by Rahman!!

The guitar in Only You is played by Kabuli, but he can't pull it off for live shows apparently.

When did you meet ARR ?.* I met Rahman in 1988, when I was working for Music Director Raj Koti. At that time, he was around 18 years old. In 1990, when he was doing jingles, he had called me for doing jingles. He has always been a very quiet boy. We used to have lot of discussions about music. I have played a lot of ad jingles, themes with Rahman. I was working in a Five Star Hotel, and used to play base guitar every night. One night he called me and asked me to come and play for a song in 1991. That was for Chinna Chinna Aasai ( Roja ) . I asked him what was this for, for which he replied I am doing a movie, and hopefully it comes out well. I told him that it would definitely be a hit, and not to worry. *2. What are the songs that you have played for Rahman ?* First of all, all songs I used to play in the night. Rahman was the cause behind me leaving the Hotel. he told me *leave the hotel; Play for me.* I thank him a lot for getting me out of that hotel. *3. What was your experience of working with Rahman during Roja ? * Each song of Rahman is a different experience. He is a very great and good composer, and hence each song is a unique experience. It seems Keith's speed of playing is so much, that Rahman used to tell him You should wait more than you play . *4. What is your experience in doing Live Programs ??* They are totally different from recordings. You have to be really alert especially for Rahman songs. Its because you have to duplicate the same thing thats on the record. My experience has been a different experience playing for his concerts. we have to practise nicely and deliver *5. Which are the programs that you have enjoyed a lot ?* I play all different styles of music, like pop, jazz, rock and of course for Rahman for Tamil Songs. I like little bit of Jazz. Even rahman loves that. My kinf od Jazz is little modern. Each person on the band improvises on a particular theme. *6. which song of Rahman did you love playing ?* All his songs are so beautiful. Esp Chinna chinna Aasai, Pudhu Vellai Mazhai. Then came July Madham ( Pudhiya Mugam ) , Netru Illadha Matram ( Pudhiya Mugam ) . My base guitar was prominent in Kaadhal Rojave ( Roja ) and even Kadhal Sadugudu ( Alaipyudhey ) *7. what are the different styles of Base Guitar ?* The style that we play with fingers is called peeking style. Then is the slab style with the thumb and the forefinger. Then comes the walking base( swing pattern ) Swing Pattern :- Kannum Kannum ( Thiruda Thiruda ) ( Fast running base ) Slab Base - Kadhal Sadugudu ( Alaipayudhey ) *8. Is there any song that you have not played for rahman ?* ( Laughs) That we have to ask him. Before, when Tamil, Kannada, and Telugu recording were done at the same place, I used to play for 3 songs the same day. But I can play for 10 songs in the same day. 9. *How many Children ?* MY wife is a housewife. I have two children. But all the support for me comes from my wife. My daugther is studying in her Final year in Stell Marrys ( Chennai ) and my son is in his eighth standard. My son is learning rhthym guitar. Daugther was learning some piano, but stopped now . I come from a family of musicians. My father used to play any instrument. Just take and play. he was not full into music. My brothers are all musicians. One is a Base guitarist. he is in Mumbai . His name is Carl Peters, and the other one is in Delhi. he is also a guitarist. Carl plays for films. The other brother plays in Hotels. Basically, we are all Anglo Indians . and hence can't speak Tamil fluently. *10. Is there any song which was recorded the entire night with Rahman ?* Yes. The song Oh Maria Oh Maria from Kadhalar Dhinam. we played it . But Rahman didn't like it . So we were trying different patterns. Then we did Roja Roja from the same film, and these two songs took the entire night for us. I came home the next evening. *11. Have you ever thought why I am wasting my time and energy the entire night and my skills are getting minimised here ??* No.
Re: [arr] Glamsham reviews JA music
The reviews here are not so constructive either! five or ten people writing many emails all super-praising the songs (not that there is anything wrong with that!). Where are the rest of the opinions? Isn't it surprising that A R R makes Naveen play the second verse of Jashn at a higher octave and the flute slightly Carnatic-ally throughout! The verses feel very much like A R's earlier work like Pudhiya Mugham.. It is a VERY pleasant change to hear Naveen.. I haven't heard the other songs in detail though! In the actual song, I felt J A (who shares his initials with the movie, like the lyricist ahem..) goes a bit off-pitch sometimes in the verses. I also wish they'd change the lyrics of the refrain saare sahmey hawaaein hain slightly everytime the tune is repeated..

Re: [arr] Pls clarify - ARR Humming List
Okay, there are MANY songs where A R R seemingly lends his voice (many a time in the chorus). Give these a listen. 1. Iruvar, Vidhu Dalai Vidhu Dalai 2. Muqabala you missed the Ole O 3. En Swasa Thirakatha 4. Muthu Kokku Saiva 5. Kizhakku Chemayile Kathazhang (he seems to sing in the chorus sometimes, just after the first verse ends for example) WHAT A SONG!! thanks to Krish Ashwin, who pointed me the chords in the second verse of this song, and the second interlude! PHENOMENAL. There are MANY, MANY more like this, not all of which I can remember off the top of my head. Some subtle ones like number 5 above.. There are some in May Maadham I think.

[arr] Re: [Semi ARR] URGENT: How to save cassettes and CDs from fungus?
You need an air-tight container so that no moisture can get in. Like a cookie jar, only larger, for your collection. Also you can use an absorbent inside such a jar to absorb any remaining moisture. Obviously you can go extreme while building something like that ;) Nitrogen purges etc., depending on how much you love your tapes. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Amith Chandhran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Friends, all my cassettes and CDs are getting infected by fungus these days.

Not adding anything as far as A R R, but Govind Nihalini's movies have been fabulous in general.

[arr] Re: NY Concert Song List
I was at the show with Gopal Srinivasan.. He has the official song list in the order in which they were performed.. AR's group arrived only around 4 pm, and went to the show at around 6 pm for the mic test and to rehearse the two singers Geoff Iqbal (Mitwa) and master Bhattacharya (Yeh Tara) (who will also be at DC).. The show started around 8:15 pm I guess with Jaage Hain.. Chitra opening the show, and then Rahman coming in.. Next was Khalbali, and some dancer knocked out A R's cheat sheet from the stage.. Most of the songs are covered already I guess.. There was a variation of Ghanan Ghanan.. Solos by my friend Rashid, and by Sivamani, with the bongo player (Gopal will tell you his name, Pat I guess) etc. The Rajasthani singer Aslam absolutely absolutely gave a stunning performance of Rang De Basanti and also had a folk solo, and was part of Ni Main Samajh Gayi.. Because of time constraints, Chanda Re and Barso Re were knocked off.. A R DID PERFORM NEW YORK NAGARAM.. The whole stadium went ballistic for Vaaji Vaaji, which was the first tamil song, followed by Sahara.. The cell-phone lighting was there for Pray for me Brother.. A R went to the piano for the song, then did the unplugged, with En Kaadhale and other songs.. Humma Humma had the greatest reception, (along with Chhaiyya) and VM to end the show.. Gopal and I thought that A R said We'll skip Dil Se for this show and then immediately sang Dil Se Re. Ravichandran on Keys. Navin on Flute. An American (?) saxophonist. Another western flautist. Kalyan on Cello. 1 Violon. Sivakumar on the trigger with Pat (?) (also on Bongo). Keith Peters on Bass guitar, Rashid on Guitars, Sivamani on percussion. Srinivas Moorthy conducted. Backing vocals by Ishrath, Reyhana (also sang Chhaiyya), Sayonara (sang Athiradee, Sa re Ga Me etc.), Tanvi, Naresh, and one more singer (Dr).. Aslam (number 2) sang the Mayya chants (Neethi, also for Ramta Jogi). Sridhar mixed (volume). A R left for DC after the show..

[arr] Re: AR Rahman's hard work
A R R records abroad only if there is an urgency or if, for example, he is recording the Czech symphony orchestra and it costs more to hire 144 men and women to come and record in India than for him to go to Prague..

With Sivaji, Rajini's will be completing his century in Kollywood. Another interesting fact is, this movie is AVM-Rajini combo's 9 th venture together. Incidentally this is Shankar's 8th movie, which happens to be his lucky number. If you suppose Rajini-Shankar-AVM combination is big enough, then think again. Because all the biggies in their respective fields of expertise have worked for Sivaji. Camera by KV Anand, art direction by Thotta Dharani, editing by Antony, dialogues by Sujatha, music by AR Rahman, lyrics by Vaali, Vairamuthu, Na Muthukumar and Pa Vijay and stunts by Peter Haynes just to name a few. AR Rahman's hard work seems to have obtained the desired results. As Sivaji's songs, which are repeatedly broadcasted by all radio stations, are now the talk of the town. The movie's BGM and re- recording, which have come out exceptionally well and far more superior have been done at London and Czech Republic's capital Prague. Stunt master Peter Haynes' fight scenes have been made aiming at perfection. KV Anand has used the latest technology Super 35 and 4K. It is the first time that 4K technology is being used for a Tamil movie. Sivaji will also be the first Tamil movie to have more number of prints than ever before.

It happens to A R R because he is a high profile musician.

I will try and bring more info as things become clearer. I cannot believe that songs are leaked out of A R's studio. Only a few people that A R trusts immensely are ever allowed to hear or own the final mp3s before release, and they would certainly not dishonor this privelege.

[arr] Re: The making of the PFMB video
Hey Dasun and Vij, Thanks for adding your perspective on the issue. I wish every success for A R R and his cause, which I am a silent part of, since his first meeting at the UN headquarters in 2004 here in NY when he became the ambassador. The ultimate sign of right and wrong is the effectiveness of the album with the public. No matter how I feel about a song, I have never tried to influence A R's creativity (and neither does ANYONE else who is close to him) or the way he decides to interpret themes and ideas. Even in this case, I am not saying that A R R is right or wrong in choosing a certain type of music, just that I don't fully agree with it. At this time.. I have been wrong before about these things. I did not think that Mayya Mayya could be number 1 on the Hindi countdowns, among other things. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Dasun Abeysekera [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't think PFMB is completely hip-hop. However, even if you take the section of the song that is rapped, it is not the social stigma associated with rap that we need to look at, but the message. I mean, I agree with you that a message like this conveyed through purely a rap medium (which is not the case here), may have lost the majority of its intended audience even if the message was good, but ironically, rap as a medium of art originated out of the need to express a sense of helplessness and frustration of poverty, and the situation of World Poverty is just the same problem with greater magnitude and therefore not too far from the origins of rap. So, in that sense I don't think ARR erred in his judgement in using rap. Then, I think the fact that the intended audience that he is trying to influence, which would be the younger generation who will be leaders of the future world, are currently listening to hip-hop as the main source of popular art, would have been a key factor as well. Now I do not advocate the messages with which hip-hop music has become synonymous these days, but I do understand, that more than what the lyrics and the message of this hip-hop songs communicate, it is the rythm of hip-hop songs that infect and draw people to it. So, we should not dismiss a medium of art, just because it is associated with thugs and rowdy men who have little civility, because those are not attributes of the form itself, but its content. If an artist can use a form's ability to infect people to pass on a good message, then more strength to that artist for leading the way for others to follow. I still think of No Problem from Love Birds (1996) as a prime example of how rap and reggae was used to empower an audience. That's a great message right there. Another Day in Paradise is truly an al time great song with great feeling in the league of We Are the World and Heal the World, but that was created with an 80s feeling, but since this is the 00s, I think ARR is just following the trends just like PC did in 1989.

[arr] Re: Are Rahman's songs too hard to sing for the common man?
An interesting thread.. I have heard this complaint as well.. Most people are comfortable humming N-S or J-L songs, and no matter what you say, some of their songs are lyrically and musically sweet (you put it as cheesy) undoubtedly, and somehow has mass appeal. With Rahman, replaying his music in your head, and actually listening to it are two completely different issues. There is so much to the music, so much has been thought out. For every song, he seems to have found the best combination of chords to go along with the melodies. His interpretation of music is entirely different from other musicians, although the basics are the same. For example in the song Tere Bina, when Chinmayee goes o o o o, tere bina just listen to the chords.. there is a weird sinking feeling due to the chords.. You feel it again when she sings the words Chaand bhi.. A R works incredibly hard.. He may not sound as melodious sometimes because he is original and does not copy time-tested hits from other countries. Just my opinion.. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Ajit [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: For now, I'm speaking about his Hindi output. When I listen to songs like Ay Hairathe, Tere Bina, Lukka Chuppi, Tu Bin Bataye, Yeh Rishta, Yeh Jo Desh, Saawariya, Pal Pal Bhari, Desh Ki Mitti, Naina Neer, Piya Ho, etc. etc. etc., there is no doubt in my mind that no other musical director in recent times has created as powerful and moving melodies as our Boss. Nevermind the arrangements, rhythm, sound, for which our Boss is already king and known for it. There is an evergreen stamp to many of his recent melodies. However, I don't hear the media or the general public raving about his sense of melody too often. And I think it's ignorant to say that Rahman should be known for his technical skills rather than his tune skills. Without a doubt, the man is a master tunesmith. I just don't see how people don't realize that when listening to the examples above. One reason why his melodies may not be as appreciated as they should is based on a comment that my parents made recently after listening to some of Rahman's songs. They like Rahman a lot and know how brilliant he is, etc. However, they keep mentioning how the songs of today in general compared to the evergreen years lack powerful yet simple melodies and moving lyrics. When I point to Rahman's songs, they agree that his songs are melodious, but the THEY ARE HARD TO SING. For them, that is the sticking point, that Rahman's songs are often too difficult to sing (unless one is a trained and talented singer) and one cannot hum them as easily. Seems like an overly simplistic point, but perhaps to the commaon man, it's true. While Rahman's songs are beautiful, full of melody, the melodic contours are often full of twists and turns and tinged with a classical bent, making them difficult for the average person to just listen with ease and to hum along. I think this makes a difference with popularity. Many of Rahman's most commercially successful numbers were ones that were not only catchy, but easy to hum along and sing with. Maybe this is the reason why Nadeem Shravan were called the melody kings (don't make me laugh too hard). Although their melodies were often stale and cheesy, their songs were easy to sing along with, light and easy music for the common man to digest. Not that Rahman has to ever stoop as low as NS, but perhaps there is a point here. One of the reasons why the song Tere Bina is so popular is perhaps that along with being beautiful and brilliant, the melody itself is fairly simple enough to understand and remember easily, esp. the dham dhara dham part. Same goes for Ru Ba Ru from RDB. Anyway, agree or disagree, I think this will be interesting to discuss.

[arr] Re: Interesting about Ey Hairathe
Why is this not mentioned on the CD? Ae Hairaten as a song is good, but Mujhpe Toofan Udhaye from Tehzeeb was much better to me, lyrically and musically, being in the same genre. I like Hariharan singing songs like Thottal Poo Malarum, but sometimes he isn't the best choice. He is an awesome singer and a very nice person. Always a smile on his face. Same goes for SP Bala and Shankar Mahadevan. If you remember (or as some of you will check), the world cup final between India and Australia was played the same day as the LA concert 3 years ago. The A R R group arranged for the game in the hotel lobby. So there I was, with Sonu Nigam, SP Bala and wife, Shankar M, H. Sridhar, Vasundhara Das, Mahalaxmi Iyer, Hariharan, Sivamani (with a bongo or congo, although I don't know how many chances he got at being jubilant. He gave us an excellent lunch break though), and some of the dancers (A R R does not like cricket). So these are the cricket-crazy people in A R R's association. I left after Tendulkar got out in the first over or so. Point is, I got to see some of these people at close range and found especially the Tamil stars to be very modest people. Also, coming to Sivamani, some cricket networks have paid him money in the past to go to games and play the drums or percussion to get the crowds excited. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, shaik mahaboob [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Mohammed Ameer, You are cent percent correct that Ey Hairathe Ashiqui is originally from legendary 19th Century celebrated Urdu Poet Janab Amir Khusru's Ey Shabrathe Ashiqui.

Re: [arr] Help on Additional Programmer or Additional Arranger!!
Programming refers to arrangements done on pro music software.. In A R R's case, it's logic pro. Rahman does most of this work himself. Some of the bass lines, rhythm or additional synth work is done by the programmers, but the amount of work depends from song to song. People who have played this role are Ranjit Barot, Pravin Mani, Josh Sridhar, H. Sridhar, Rafee, Yak Bondy and GV. Obviously both PM and RB are very talented. Ranjit Barot's song khwahishon se from Holiday is very good. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Thulasi Ram [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: well,m also quite confused abt it.. even shakalakka baby had pravin mani doing additional programming. my guess is that these additional programmers add more finest touch to the song. hoever, anyone who know more abt this, plz throw a light on it!

[arr] Guru...
Barso Re.. first interlude is the best piece of music in the last 5 years to me.. A R R did it in the second interlude of Ayirathil Naan Oruvan.. Same here.. The first interlude of Tere Bina is outstanding as well. All I needed from an A R R album.. in those 50 seconds..

Parts of barso re sound eerily similar to Rang Deeni from the movie Dev. Similar chorus, voices, everything.. Truly unfortunate coincidence I guess..

[arr] Re: ARR's Favorite Keyboard??
All sequencing is done in Logic and not on any keyboard. They are essentially used as sound banks, and for live concerts, unless they are specialized keyboards (this helps save a LOT of space in studios). I have seen him sequence using Oxygen or Ozone MIDI keyboards using the Protools Toolbox as a MIDI interface and he is PHENOMENAL with them. Point is, he does not need sophisticated equipment (hardware). --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, raveekant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thank you Bharath and Yaseer for answering my question!!

Re: [arr] dinner with boss in melbourne
hmm.. from my experience with these, after every concert, the entire group of performers has dinner with the producers etc. For the two concerts where I have accompanied a r r (LA, NY last time), he visits the dinner site for 5 minutes or so, and then leaves (because of his special eating habits I think, and because he may be shy). IT MAY BE DIFFERENT SINCE THEY ARE SELLING TICKETS FOR WHAT YOU SAY, but I just wanted to point this out. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Life without art music?

[arr] rising..
first impression is that the album is extraordinary. it's very westernized for the nature of the movie but the ambience exactly fits anyhow! takey takey has overtones of oh darling yeh hai india I guess.. Main vari vari.. the main tune is based on very western chord progressions and a r changes melodies in ways not done in classical indian styles. chords are too good.. rasiya.. the main chorus is astounding.. again the backing chords and sound texture is amazing.. santoors in the background I guess.. saarangis, all sound great.. al maddath maula.. got to hear this first ;) excellent again.. murtaza and qadir perform as usual.. the lines i mentioned before and the few following lines are great. lots of strings.. overall the album is a lot more HAPPY than I would have expected. upbeat, uptempo.. but the songs are catchy.. mangal mangal is an excellent song as well.. i personally like the sound and the ambience of the album.. i would put the sound as lucknowi or north indian traditional.. rasiya chorus.. only a r r can do this I guess. happy listening..

Rahman himself says that the new studio is a state of the art one and has all the modcons that such studios require. It should be music to his fans' ears that he is back. thadjul ariffin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:SO FAR PANCHATHAN STUDIO WAS THE RECORDING STUDIO FOR RAHMAN, BUT NOW HE BUILT A NEW STUDIO WITH STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY.

[arr] Re: 'Noor' Translation is here
It seems from his movies that his ONLY intention in making movies is objectifying women. Combined with his age, it's kinda scary. It's stupid to hurt people's sentiments by trying to justify your own perversions religiously. He did try to show a connection between the noor you mention (24:35) and female beauty in the movie and hence caused riots. My opinions anyway. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Noman Siddiqui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello I did try to translate 'Zikr' last time and it would be an honor for me to translate Noor-un-ala-noor for the members, from the limited capability and knowledge I possess. It's kind of you to ask me to do so. Again, I am not perfect... but I regard this Qawwali very close to my heart as it is can be seen as a 'Sangam' of MF Hussain sahib's thoughts words and ArRahman's imagination and music! I am sorry that I was a little upset from comments which are made by us sometimes unintentionally, with limited knowledge and without thinking how it will have an impact on others, with similar quantity of knowledge, which causes a chain reaction Therefore, we have to know the true worth of our own words first... in order to understand the depth in others' words. I am lucky to be part of this group and want the best for all its members! Noor-un-ala-Noor as I mentioned earlier is arabic for 'DIVINE' light upon light like we say ... 'layers upon layers'... so basically it is light upon light ...the only light of the DIVINE that is everywhere... it can trace its roots from a verse in the QURAN (1 :115) that says... To Allah belongs the EASTS and the WESTS...Wherever you shall turn is the face of Allah for He is all knowing and prevading. The soul that we possess according to Islam are given to us by God...originally it was breathed in ADAM, (the first human being created with clay by God) ...who then put a soul in Adam. So you see... we are Breath of the Divine Breath and when this breath begins to emerge in its original form... it becomes pure .. and clear being is found. Just like us, everything around us that our senses can register, are creations of God also...thus containtaning His Noor or His Light. (Noor = Divine Light), thus LIGHT UPON LIGHT! So here goes the translation: chaaro.n taraf chaaro.n taraf nuur-un-alaa nuur-un\-alaa nuur-un- alaa nuur Everywhere Everywhere!... there is the divine lightlight upon light ! ye barq\-e\-tajallii a.ndhero.n ko chiiratii This Tajali piercing through these darknesses!

I think I meant to say we (the yahoogroup) will have 2 concerts, but I see what you mean.. :) haha. I might join a r r for the american leg spoiling things here and there, but I am not useful in live shows at all! I didn't hear of australian shows yet. A R R is in London preparing for the English shows I guess. A R R wasn't planning on any shows, but wants to do it for the Tsunami victims. A R R finds the English ambiance to be unfitting for his film music for some reason, so those shows might be different! We'll find out I guess.

[arr] Re: ARR 's BGM in Swades
It's all A R R.. Have you seen Mera Rang De from TLOBS? A R R is truly incredible. There's a hidden irony and sadness in a r's music that is abstract and beautiful, and no one can emulate that, because it is a state of mind and not musical talent. That's what makes him a good COMPOSER. If you hear Pavithra without watching the movie, you can create many images in your mind, and then when you see the movie, you can see that the songs are playing in the background and are not well picturized at all.. A G makes a director's commentary for the entire movie to help guide A R for the bgm. I have seen A R play, and seen him compose, but I can truly only see a very talented musician and nothing beyond that. Other than that, he is a very normal and down-to-earth guy. How he gets these songs to sound so good is a mystery. I do think that the children's theme is a bit too much Adiemus. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Ravi d [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One thing to say, I dont know who inspired who for the song Yeh jo des hain tera.

But I managed to see Swades only yesterday! Here is my take on the maestro's BGM: 1) NASA backdrop - easy one for the maestro. 2) When SRK travels to India in flight. A great probing music, that conveys the mental turmoil of SRK coupled with nostalgic feelings; exactly what would be a better instrument than an accordion/mouth organ. Simply stunning (also part of the title music) 2) The fast-paced chorus when STK enters Charanpur in the caravan - what a music!!! It rightly captures the sentiments of curious onlooker, the rush of excitement of SRK visitinig Kaveriamma.. Simply brilliant - one of the finest ARR has composed MR's films I guess. 3) The flute + some Alaipyudhe kind of feel when SRK and Geetha meet often; potrays some kind of closeness/bond between the lead characters. Extremely happy that ARR has been awarded the best BGM for National award (!).. What a great visualization he has in sharing and easing the burden of the director in potraying the intricacies of the script. A great milestone in a music-composer's career.

[arr] Re: English Translation of ZIKR
hey Noman.. excellent work.. I was stumped by some of the Urdu! Dhikr also means rememberance. The first part of the asma-ul-husna is YA HAYYUL YA QAYYUM I think.. Hasbi Rabbi Jalallah; Ma Fe Qalbi Ghairullah~=Enough (hasbi) is my Rabb, the Majestic (jalallah) for me, There is none (ghair) besides Allah in my heart (qalb). It's very similar to the meaning of Only You from VM.

I must say though that it is not perfect... its almost like translating Bhagvat Geeta in English what counts more is the state of mind that one achieves by listening to it and how one's soul concieves it and reacts to it or dances to it...(in some cases) Lemme start off from the word Zikr it can be defined in a couple of meanings... 1. Rememberence of Allah (Almighty Supereme Being) 2. To repeat Allah's name over and over again that starts from the tounge and eventually... sinks in the heart...then the soul and then Everywhere it can be seen and felt!! It is the first time that Ar Rahman has actually come out of his inner self and decided to declare in this song what just the names of Allah can achieve ..if they are just repeated over and over again with an open and a clear heart... e.g mor me..listening to this song over and over againeach time a jewel was picked out from it now...one could argue that it is the way the song is made or one could say that it is just a mirror where your rooh (soul) sees itself... clearer the reflection...clearer the image is... Now... the most heard name you will hear throughout the song (especially in the background heavy chorus) is : ALLAH HU You all know Allah is the name for God in Arabic and He is what you could call Brahama or Ishvar ... the creator of all creationsthe Only creator... Hu... is according to Sufism the FIRST WORD... it is infact the only word that exists...and it is mostly this name ALLAH HU that is used in Zikr Now if you notice the entire song is being sung with different lyrics...yet ALLAH Hu is constantly repeating Nafs : the self of the human beings. It could be an animal self ...pure selfetc. For proper answers look up these sites : 1. http://www.geocities.com/naseehath/e30.htm 2. http://www.rosanna.com/books/khanonrumi.htm Now... let us proceed towards the song Zikr...
