[arr] IS CWG theme song been made again?
guys many internet articles have the news that A R RAHMAN have been asked to make the theme song again is it true?
Re: [arr] Roja..........still sounds amazing........and my take on general trends....
AJ you hit the bulls eye the INDIAN A R RAHMAN , the indian flavour in contemporary music no matter what genre A R RAHMAN took , thats what used to be in SIR'S music. that made him unique, just one in the world. that made him a musical wizard , combining the beauty of indian music with modern themes. yes i miss that A R RAHMAN. but the problem is raavan d6 JA didnt had the magic of that standard of music. today A R RAHMAN's muisc is mixing up with west , uniqueness lacking. take DILse , saaathiya , hum se hai muqabla, jeans ,thiruda thiruda contemporary indian music at its peak . the music of these albums is completely unique . even take lagaan meenaxi mangal panday classic these three albums are. take Maa tijhe salam wow wow , what contemporary masterpiece it is. when A R RAHMAN used to sit in small dark studio in chennai , he produced world class music, now that he has studio's in every corner of the world , he is famous in every corner of the world , he has lost universality in his music, i feel . A R RAHMAN will surely return back to his indian magic one day. and tell you first time i have affirmed your mail WOW.

Amazing compositions for ARR's debut..melodious, sweet, earthy, straight to the heart. If there was one thing that I liked about ARR of the 90s that I don't hear much of these days is that ARR's songs back then had a lot more breathing room...there was more space in the songs and the song arrangements were not as dense as they are today. The songs just breathed easier back then it seems, if I were to make a very broad and general comparison to today's songs. ARR also used minimal loops and more spacious arrangements, so you could hear more of silence in the slower compositions. Tu Hi Re is a great example of that. I hope you understand what I mean. Again, these are just observations of mine. I like his past songs equally to his current songs in general, but there are some broad differences, signifying Rahman's evolution as an artist and adding and subtracting elements of his compositional style and sound over time. I am just bowled over how NONE of his songs from the 1990s sound outdated whatsoever even today. That says volumes. One more thing..songs in those days...1990s to early 2000s in general were more Indian soundingnot just with ARR, but with other MDs too. The trend in bollywood and perhaps other industries too is to have more Western and global musical styles in film music with gradual shifting away from the ethnic Indian flavor of songs.not completely, but the trend is there. ARR too used to have more ethnic Indian sounding albums back then, even for contemporary films like Saathiya, Taal, Dil Se that were not period films. Later, the Ethnic Indian sound would be confined mostly to period film scores or situational numbers, but with some exceptions. Delhi 6, Raavan, and Jodha Akbar are the 3 most Indian sounding albums recently and look how beautifully all 3 music albums were received and raved about. I think a lot of people are missing more of the Indian Rahman. Rahman's music over time has become more international and less Indian as a general trendagain with exceptions here and there.

Keeping making noise haters and naysayers...ARR will keep making music. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Bivin Chandra bivinchan...@... wrote: Jai Ho pulse missing from Rahman's composition A. R. Rahman's theme song for the Commonwealth Games, Khelo jeeyo, hey-o, has drawn mixed response from fans. But quite predictably, most big names in the music industry are backing the maestro's effort. Many music buffs, including BJP leader and Commonwealth Games Organising Committee executive board member V. K. Malhotra, have questioned the song's quality. The verdict is that the Oscar-winning music director has done too rushed a job to justify his hefty fee - close to ` 5.5 crore. The song has fallen short of expectations. We expected something better from a composer of his stature. He has given us good songs in the past, but this one is unimpressive. He should tweak it. There is still some time before the Games, says Malhotra. On the theme song's portal, Rahman fan Vivekananda Vemana writes: I'm sorry Rahman, I don't like it (the song). But anyway, I am happy that you tried your best. The Bollywood music frat, however, is more generous. We must keep in mind that Rahman's songs have a way of growing on people, says singer Kailash Kher. Singer Ila Arun agrees. Rahman's creations elicit mixed reactions in the beginning. Even Jai ho-his Oscar-winning number in Slumdog Millionaire-was initially panned. But the song went on to become a global rage. I think the same will happen to the CWG theme song, she says. So, is it a 'rushed job'? Kher says: We should remember that he has a packed schedule. Considering that the theme song is for such an important event, the government should have given him more time. For me, Rahman is above criticism. Others in Bollywood say Rahman's brand power will make the song a hit. He is a music director of global stature. Simply adding his name to the CWG theme song will give extra value to the event. In the long run, among other things, CWG 2010 will be remembered for the theme song, says Bollywood's in- demand composer Pritam. Agrees music director Shekhar Ravjiani of the Vishal- Shekhar duo: I don't see anyone else composing this song. He has the talent to pull off anything. How can you assign the theme song to anyone else in the world when you have an Indian composer of Rahman's stature, he asks. The song, which can be downloaded from the internet, begins with lilting strains before wild guitar riffs take over to set an eccentric mood. Penned primarily in Hindi, the number is also laced with English hip- hop lyrics for a contemporary feel. World music whiffs combine with folksy drum beats as Rahman creates a tune that aims to be universal in spirit. Not everyone is impressed, though. A fan Pradeep Krishnan writes on the song's portal: After listening to the song, I realised that something is missing… request you to have more versions of the same song… which will bring enthusiasm and sportsman spirit. The only Bollywood composer who is openly critical about the song is Aadesh Shrivastava. I can't understand the lyrics and beats. It sounds like a typical sarkari song. Plus, my point is - why only Rahman? The government could have asked five different composers to prepare numbers and then chosen the best one, he says. Singer Kunal Ganjawala, disagrees: Those who want to nitpick will always find some fault. I feel the song is a good representation of today's India as an emerging global force. While on global force, some people feel instead of paying Rahman ` 5.5 crore, the amount could have been used to hire a global icon. With that kind of money, you could have signed on Shakira or Enrique Iglesias. Australian pop star Kylie Minogue was recently paid about ` 5 crore for her item song in the film, Blue. Why couldn't they get an international star? asks a top Bollywood music video director, without wishing to be named. Playback star Shreya Ghoshal does not like that idea. Why do we need a foreigner to compose a song for our Games? We don't need to import everything. You can't doubt Rahman's status as an international star, she says. Among those

I am glad I am not in your position. Also, I never mentioned as a rule that you only have to choose songs from my list. I only listed the songs that touched me. Why didn't you choose songs that touched you independent of my list? Why did you want to make it a point to show that you are so critical of ARR's Hindi works that you only listed one song in the last 5 years that you enjoyed?

ARR had put such a unique feeling in that song, so touching, so genuine that even even ARR has not used in any of his other 1000+ songs. nearest was probably Manchandre but that too sounds too farmaishi show off when compared with Piya Ho. and i choose those three from AJ's list. otherwise i liked many in tamil but very little in hindi. His list has many tamil songs also, but it seems you didn't like those particular ones and might have liked others. I wudn't be much help in discussion on tamil songs, but I think it will help u regain confidence in ARR if you put efforts to make his list of tamil songs that you liked. You mentioned total three, you could have off hand recalled 5-10 more at least that you liked. I personally felt offended for a moment that you just mentioned 3 songs that you liked. I can mention many more than three songs of Anu Malik, Nadeem Sharavan, Anand Milind, SEL, Vishal1, Vishal2, and most of the MDs that I like. I feel like saying that if you can't even like 1 song a year from ARR, you should rethink why you remain a fan of him? You should move on to other MDs that you like. It is OK. It happens that we stop clicking with someone and start clicking with other ones. We should not let our old habit stagnate us without pleasure. After all that is how, I mean by moving on from other previous MDs to ARR, we had come to become fan of ARR in the first place. Another aspect is that ARR's fan based likes, loves, adores D6, Ravan type of music. This was vintage ARR with innovations. So, if you don't like even a single song in these, it will be very unprobable that ARR will ever give an album for your genres of liking. I am also dumbfounded that these time when ARR is at the peak of his worldwide fame only due to his sustained efforts, you are dissatisfied so much with him. regards, taimur Enjoy.

Mature: You know I really tried hard to give Rahman's latest album a chance, but I just couldn't get into it. Rahman really gave apt music for this type of film and I'm sure the music will gel well on screen, but I won't be listening to this album too much. It's just not the type of music that I like. A lot of my friends love it and that's just their taste, but for me, it's just not the type of music I can relate to well. I've noticed that Rahman's music is a lot more synth oriented these days, which is going with the trend, but I do miss the more acoustic oriented albums from the past, although I admit he has done quite a few beautifully acoustic and soulful songs recently in other albums. There are a couple of songs in this album that could grow over time and I can see Rahman's creative brilliance in the album and how he has experimented in a new direction, but I couldn't connect emotionally. I hope I like the next album and I know that ARR is still as creatively strong as ever despite me not liking his latest. I've been disappointed before and I will be disappointed again, but I have been amazed before and I will be amazed again! Such are the ways of being a passionate fan of a geniusly progressive and ever dynamic and bold artist that is ARR! Immature: What the heck did Rahman just do? Did he just give the score to his technicians and arrangers and just put his name for credit? The music hurts my ears! I wasted money on this! Rahman has truly lost it. Actually, he's lost it the past 5 yearsnot a single song that I am impressed with. How can he do this? Doesn't he know what his fans want?

Come on, guys, just admit ityou know for a fact that the Rahman we first fell in love with is not with usthis is someone else. Those who like this album only like it because of the name Rahman on it.if it were composed by anyone else, you would be shooting it down.

How about that! 50 Most Creative Indians Some are famous, some are not. You may agree with the list, you may not. But these are in our view the most imaginative men and women in the country. In no particular order. 1. ARUNDHATI ROY Voted third on Forbes' list of `30 Utterly Inspiring Role Models', the author of God of Small Things is a voice you ignore at your own risk, one as audacious as it's eloquent in raising questions. 2. VISHY ANAND The first Indian world chess champion, formidably fast on the board, inventive with tactics and strategy. He has grown better with age, and there remains no perceptible weakness in his game. A master of player psychology, in the past two world championship matches held recently, he spontaneously adapted his game to the man across the board. 3. AMIT HERI Audiences at the Berlin, Montreux, London and Paris jazz festivals have been bowled over by this guitarist-composer. He's jammed with Angelique Kidjo, Robert Miles and Zakir Hussain, but oddly enough this Bangalore artiste's jazzy riffs remain alien to most Indian ears. For a desi listen, try Jhoola, his album voiced by Kota, Mizo and Uttarakhandi chanters. 4. JITEN THUKRAL AND SUMIR TAGRA Pop went the easel, video and installations in the hands of this Punjabi duo, affectionately dubbed TT. Ever since the 2005 debut of these communication designers, they've artfully trotted out enough material to turn even Elton John into a TT collector. The duo, who've shown at London, Berlin, Sydney and Shanghai, explore HIV and consumerism with safe-sex chaddis and dinosaurs designed from strawberry-syrup bottles. 5. SACHIN TENDULKAR Sachin was the cherub of the team when Kapil Dev took up a bet with him: You must play ten years for India. He played 20. He is still playing. Earlier, bold strokes were Tendulkar's unique selling proposition (USP). Now, it is the way he rations his experience, body and skill to climb peaks only he can. 6. SABYASACHI MUKHERJEE When he graduated from the National Institute of Fashion Technology in 1999, he was heralded as the future of Indian design. In subsequent years, he has lived up to expectations by crafting a series of stunning collections. By using indigenous techniques like bandhani, gota work, block printing and hand dyeing, Sabyasachi creates modern silhouettes that carry a rich aroma of India in them. His kalidaar kurtas, lehengas and saris are in heavy demand across the world, and his label thrives in countries like the US, UK, UAE, Greece, Germany and Singapore. 7. SIDDHARTH BASU The original quizmaster of India, he made general knowledge fashionable among youngsters. Starting off with Quiz Time on Doordarshan, he went on to host and produce programmes like Master Mind India and India Child Genius. Basu's biggest success came in the form of Kaun Banega Crorepati , a show that not just marked Amitabh Bachchan's debut on the small screen, but also redefined TV viewing in India. Through his company, Synergy Communications, Basu is now working on various reality TV formats like Dus Ka Dum¸, India's Got Talent and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. 8.

what a rubbish list , where they have put A R RAHMAN is it a joke going on , all the people ahead of him are far less creative and influential than A R RAHMAN i dont except it .atleast in entertainment no one is better than A R RAHMAN. for me he is no 1 simple as that. regards, taimur --- On Wed, 8/18/10, AJ purev...@yahoo.com wrote: From: AJ purev...@yahoo.com Subject: [arr] ARR at number 25 among 50 most creative Indians To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, August 18, 2010, 10:07 PM http://www.naachgaana.com/2010/08/16/50-most-creative-indians/#more-50693 Frankly, ARR should be in the top ten. His creative powers remain underestimated. Vishal B was ranked higher than ARR for his films mostly. Hey! Vijay Iyer came in at number 16...higher than ARR! How about that! 50 Most Creative Indians Some are famous, some are not. You may agree with the list, you may not. But these are in our view the most imaginative men and women in the country. In no particular order. 1. ARUNDHATI ROY Voted third on Forbes' list of `30 Utterly Inspiring Role Models', the author of God of Small Things is a voice you ignore at your own risk, one as audacious as it's eloquent in raising questions. 2. VISHY ANAND The first Indian world chess champion, formidably fast on the board, inventive with tactics and strategy. He has grown better with age, and there remains no perceptible weakness in his game. A master of player psychology, in the past two world championship matches held recently, he spontaneously adapted his game to the man across the board. 3. AMIT HERI Audiences at the Berlin, Montreux, London and Paris jazz festivals have been bowled over by this guitarist-composer. He's jammed with Angelique Kidjo, Robert Miles and Zakir Hussain, but oddly enough this Bangalore artiste's jazzy riffs remain alien to most Indian ears. For a desi listen, try Jhoola, his album voiced by Kota, Mizo and Uttarakhandi chanters. 4. JITEN THUKRAL AND SUMIR TAGRA Pop went the easel, video and installations in the hands of this Punjabi duo, affectionately dubbed TT. Ever since the 2005 debut of these communication designers, they've artfully trotted out enough material to turn even Elton John into a TT collector. The duo, who've shown at London, Berlin, Sydney and Shanghai, explore HIV and consumerism with safe-sex chaddis and dinosaurs designed from strawberry-syrup bottles. 5. SACHIN TENDULKAR Sachin was the cherub of the team when Kapil Dev took up a bet with him: You must play ten years for India. He played 20. He is still playing. Earlier, bold strokes were Tendulkar's unique selling proposition (USP). Now, it is the way he rations his experience, body and skill to climb peaks only he can. 6. SABYASACHI MUKHERJEE When he graduated from the National Institute of Fashion Technology in 1999, he was heralded as the future of Indian design. In subsequent years, he has lived up to expectations by crafting a series of stunning collections. By using indigenous techniques like bandhani, gota work, block printing and hand dyeing, Sabyasachi creates modern silhouettes that carry a rich aroma of India in them. His kalidaar kurtas, lehengas and saris are in heavy demand across the world, and his label thrives in countries like the US, UK, UAE, Greece, Germany and Singapore. 7. SIDDHARTH BASU The original quizmaster of India, he made general knowledge fashionable among youngsters. Starting off with Quiz Time on Doordarshan, he went on to host and produce programmes like Master Mind India and India Child Genius. Basu's biggest success came in the form of Kaun Banega Crorepati , a show that not just marked Amitabh Bachchan's debut on the small screen, but also redefined TV viewing in India. Through his company, Synergy Communications, Basu is now working on various reality TV formats like Dus Ka Dum¸, India's Got Talent and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. 8. PRASOON JOSHI As a poet, lyricist, award winning adman and Aamir Khan's chief creative officer, Joshi wears many caps. His `Thanda matlab Coca-Cola' campaign, which won a Golden Lion at Cannes, was fizzy enough to guarantee his role as his advertising mentor Piyush Pandey's spiritual successor. 9. JAGGI VASUDEV Some say he's the coolest spiritual guru since Osho. `Sadhguru', who often swaps his trademark beige robes and turban for denims and Orkleys, and enjoys the occasional volleyball game, dubs his brand of spirituality `inner engineering' and `software for the soul', making him the go-to saviour of sanity for millions of stressed out infotech professionals in South India. Now, his Isha Foundation is taking the franchise route to reach a suburb near you. 10.

But I got quite disappointed with Hindustani's Latka Jhatka, Duniya Dilwalo Ki's Hello Doctor, Dil Hi Dil Me's Maria, etc. Rangeela songs appeared so barren on first hearing, even chhaiya chhaiya first seen on TV ad was appearing so comedily funny like a bunch of monkeys jumping senselessly. They came in a short duration, so I generalized that ARR has changed and I had lost faith on him. But, then I again started liking his other albums, and even liked some of the songs in the above albums also. That was how I discovered the growing effect of ARR songs. I still don't like some above mentioned songs but of course I now am mad about chhayya chhayaa and rangeela (mangta hai kya, can u believe?), I still don't like Roja much (not dislike but I have my likings), I didn't like most of JTJTN, Ghajini, I have a lot of misgivings about selection of type of music for JA that failed to measure up to Mughal-e-Azam, that was ARR's worst lost opportunity. Blue I have beaten endlessly. And I still like Ravan, D6, and many more. --- With this background, I have discovered that ARR gives many genres of music and some genres I just don't like, can't like, whether it is by ARR or by anyone else. So, I hope members should take some time to think it over about themselves. 1. Please find out which genres of music you DO like. 2. Please find out which genres of music you DON'T like. 3. Now, think of ARR's songs that you DO like and find out whether these are in the genre that you like that you listed in 1 above. 4. Also, think of ARR's songs that you DON'T like and find out these are in the genre that you DON'T like that you listed in 2 above. I am sure it will give you some insights why you like some ARR songs/ albums, and why you don't like some other ARR songs/ albums. I am also sure that it will give you some peace (not piece, ha ha ha) of mind coming to terms with your liking and disliking ARR's and others' songs/ albums.

(Except Naan Varuven).By the way, My reply to the thread starter is: Rahman is too busy as u said, and he cannot avoid Tamil films at the same time... But U must accept that, due to Rahman's busy schedule, there is heavy pressure on him. So he cannot handle the arrangements' department alone. So, he uses 6-8 people for the same. So, U cannot expect the complete Rahman magic in the arrangements or BGMs. That is just because time doesnt permit Rahman sir to handle everything alone. Till around 2005, ARR concentrated on doing minimal work, with maximum quality. So he handled most of the things alone, and there was magic in every layer. But since, many people brought allegations that ARR is not accepting many offers, and he is disappointing the directors, ARR had to change his strategy, since the human-being in him did not want anyone to be disappointed. So, he had to delegate his arrangement work to many, due to the busy schedule. After the oscars, this pressure has tripled, and so has the quantity. So, no one can blame ARR here for taking up projects, or not finding magic in his songs. Do wait for 'Battleship' , his upcoming big project in Hollywood. You will find the 'Complete AR RAHMAN Signature' in it. jai ho. Once again to all: I dont need an alter ego to express my views! I have been in this group for years.. and i have shared everything positive and negative, using my own identity. Jai ho.

For me, these defining experiences happened during those years that I was a student of AR Rahman’s KM Music Conservatory. As I look back on that journey that has evolved me into making music my life and profession I feel KMMC happened a little late in my life but I strongly feel it couldn't have come at a more right moment than this. I had a keen interest in music since childhood, listening along with my grandfather to his thousands of carnatic collections including M.Balamuralikrishna, Thyagaraja, Ramadas, and many Annamayya Keerthanas and instrumentals. I recall composing rough tunes for fun, even before I started learning music formally. But it wasn’t until AR Rahman happened, that my passion for music grew beyond words. I became a devout fan of Rahman Sir ever since Bombay had released. I remember skipping my school continuously to go to the theatre where Bombay was being played just to listen to the music and the background scores. And with each of his releases after that, his music became a daily fuel for me. I had completed my Engineering degree in Chennai and was working a mundane software job. Of course, my body was there, but my ears, mind and thoughts were just tunes, melodies, rhythm and one man- AR Rahman. So when I heard news that Rahman Sir was going to open his own music school here in Chennai, which offers courses in western classical music, various areas of music technology, instruments, and vocals, I thought to myself, “If I wanted to give my passion for music a chance to grow and give a chance to live my dream-job as a composer, THIS was it.” And what better opportunity to learn at an institution developed by a man who I worshipped and looked up to for so many years. So without hesitation I applied for an audition. Now I wasn’t at all sure I would get in and did not even tell my family or anyone else about applying to the school. I thought to myself by auditioning I would at least catch a glimpse of the school and studio, and if lucky catch a glimpse of Rahman Sir. So I was super surprised and was just in utter disbelief when I got that call of acceptance and my family was even more shocked when I told them that I am going to resign my job and join KMMC. So here I was literally on cloud 9, about to begin a journey that I had only dreamt of all these years. In KMMC I took western classical vocals and composition as a major with a prior knowledge in carnatic vocals and keyboard. As soon as I entered the conservatory compound on the first day, I could just feel the aura of positive energy all around. The school had almost like a homely and soothing atmosphere with wooden floors and furniture, accented with warm curtains, large middle-eastern rugs, a beautiful grand piano and a picture of Rahman sir's father in the main reception area. More than this it was my fellow classmates from all corners of the world, and the amazing faculty that made those years the most memorable. Moreover, being part of KMMC I saw Rahman Sir in a whole different light, and my respect and devotion towards him grew to infinite lengths. During the first week he came and interacted with us in person and asked us our ambitions and goals. I still remember when I asked Sir at that time to hum a few lines of New York Nagaram, what he said in response will forever stay with me. He said. Guys don't stick only onto New York Nagaram, music is beyond the regular commercial cinema. Make your mark, aim at the moon..at least you will reach the stars .I was amazed at the fact that no matter how busy he was, he used to attend almost every student recital and concert that we used to have at KM. He used to listen to us patiently and give us suggestions, advice and clarifications on any doubts we had with so much patience. And in case he was unable to make it to an event, he used to send us a sorry note. I was just amazed that a man who is such a prominent society figure, a pioneer in popularizing indian music to globally, western music to the east, a musical magician,

We should remember that and respect that. Artists, performers, composers don't have any benchmark as to what will click and what will not unlike other professions. They are totally at sea as there is no fixed formula to figure out if their creation will go down well or not. From that angle, having seen ARR's career right from day 1 ( that is Roja ofcourse ) I am amazed at his ability to go against tide, ability to take risks and his belief in his own strong points. Rahman will be credited with the unique distinction of changing the SOUND OF INDIAN FILM MUSIC. Till he arrived, in most of the cases ( barring some exceptions ofcourse ) film songs were used as a prop to fill up gaps in the film or as a point where the audience could go out of theater and take fresh air.

Re: [arr] ABSENCE of H SRIDHAR hurting ARR albums?
badly missing LATE H SRIDHAR, i am clearly not impressed with A R RAHMAN's sound engineers and designers, they are unable to give a path breaking sound .

It is from one hell to another - lack of creativity is a hell and the other (politics) is a hell too. I have no intention to join politics, Rahman, 44, told reporters at a press meet when he was asked if he would join politics if his creativity fades. The Mozart of Madras is here for the European leg of his ongoing 'Jai Ho Concert: The Journey Home World Tour' concert. This leg of the tour is different. It is a hybrid between the east and the West. It is based on my best music in the last 18 years. This is an eastern's contribution and it has fusion by the directors, musicians and production crews who are Westerners. One of the most downloaded composers in Britain, Rahman will perform July 23 at LG Arena in Birmingham, to be followed by shows in the two biggest arenas in London - O2 and Wembley on July 24 and July 25 respectively. The Oscar-winning Indian composer also said that the show would be a new experiment. My show will be mix of a circus, a rock show and Hindi film songs. Asked if music can bring peace between India and Pakistan, Rahman said: Lots of musicians from Pakistan have come to India like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. And my music is loved by many people in Pakistan. In fact, my New York show had lots of people from Pakistan. I am a musician and I like this peace process. http://www.hindusta ntimes.com/ Politics- i s-hell-won-t- join-it-Rahman/ Article1- 572 287.aspx

Also, remaking this highbudget project takes a lot of time and effort. I dont think this would happen, that too with SJ SURYA in the lead role. Remaking it with a mainstream hero like Vikram or Surya too is a himalayan task. Let us expect only a dubbed version of the Telugu make. Telugu heroes have NO MARKET in Tamil. But even Harris Jayaraj's telugu films were dubbed into tamil just because of his brandname. So, definitely, PULI will also be dubbed.

There's a song or 2 by ELP that is kind of in the same mould (From the Beginning is the name I think) as the VTV title song...nothing copied at all, just along the same lines in terms of ambiance and acoustic flavor and style, perhaps similar to how Aaromale takes a page out of Pink Floyd. I think there are other songs too kind of like this one. I love Rahman that he takes us back to classic stuff from the 70s and 80s so tastefully, but never at all lifting material, but using similar sound and style templates from that era of great music (Kabhi Aditi is another example of a late 1970s and early 80s Western pop sound). VTV title song always reminded me of a classic, soft rock acoustic number from the 70s, but I could never figure out who until my friend heard it and reminded me of ELP's music.

The score also was low in the ambiance factor that I look for in an ARR album. Just heard it again after years. Some really good music in this album, very passionate and ethnically Indian. Reminded me a lot of Raavan's musicin that same mould...nothing at all copied or recycled. This album REALLY could have used a theme instrumental, like Raavan could have.

I've always found it tough to accept the new version after listening to the original numbers. I didn't like Thaalam, Uyire or Saathiya the first time I heard them. And Kehna hi kya Tu hi re (Bombay) sound really awkward in comparison to Kannalane and Uyire Uyire. Well, yeah, that was all in the past. Today, the same songs make me think how dumb I was back then to dismiss these beautiful gems.. And that's the same case with Raavanan too. When I heard them for the first time, I thought the lyrics were odd, the choice of singers were bad, etc. In fact, when I listened to Usure Pogathe the first time around, I thought Vairamuthu must have wrote the lyrics in his sleep. Somehow the words didn't seem to gel with the tune...or so I thought. But after listening to the Tamil version a number of times, I found that I love them equally the same. Well, it did take me some time and effort to forget Behne De whenever Usure Pogathe comes into the picture, but I must say that the effort paid off. And even if Vairamuthu has actually written this in his sleep (which I strongly object and I promise that I would punch myself everyday for thinking the same) the lyrics that flow out of him is just so powerful in comparison to what one would be able to write even in his most alert days. And by this, please don't think that I'm making a comparison between Vairamuthu and Gulzar. Since my knowledge of hindi is confined to comprehending only the basic meaning of the words, I'm certainly in no position to comment on Gulzar's work in the same. (Though I do believe he has done an amazing job at that!) Nevertheless, with Raavanan, I found that Vairamuthu has transported me to a whole new world via his potent words. What makes me feel so? When I heard Behne De the first few times around, I found that the protagonist was associating the forbidden love as his only means of survival. With lines like sagar mein jaake girna hai, behene de nadiyan ki tara wasn't he asking himself to be flown as that would enable himself to emerge with the sea? (With sea being his ladylove) A more powerful punch came in the later stanza... Doob gaye jo suna hai saare tere dere aate hain Dil ke chulu mein bechaare dubkiyan aate khaate hain Beh ja, beh ja, chal tod kinare ko Beh ja, beh ja, dhar le majdhare ko Chingari uda ke raakh se ik boondh gira ke aankh se While others have drown in the lady's love, this guy seems to be fighting to take control in order not to suffer the same fate. (Ok, my understanding of hindi might not be as good as I thought, so if I'm wrong here, please do correct me on it.) But yeah, with Behne De, I felt that the protagonist was making an effort to survive... On the other hand

RE: [arr] I like Raavanan Music but I agree with those who don't like it as much
My definition of lyrics is very simple , the words should carry the weight to glorify the tune, i never care for meanings and in this case GULZAR saheb has done far better job than VAIRMUTHU JI.Although RAAVAN and RAVANNAN both dont seem to give any scintillating feel to me , songs seems to be pretty ordinary not a single can be said a masterpiece, but while comparing use words for the tunes i find Ravan songs much better , the singers choice lot better as well. regards, taimur --- On Mon, 5/10/10, Gayathri Chandrakasan gayathri_c...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Gayathri Chandrakasan gayathri_c...@yahoo.com Subject: RE: [arr] I like Raavanan Music but I agree with those who don't like it as much To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Monday, May 10, 2010, 4:39 AM It's my humble opinion that most people couldn't see the beauty in Raavanan after listening to Raavanbut then, this has always been the case, at least for me. I've always found it tough to accept the new version after listening to the original numbers. I didn't like Thaalam, Uyire or Saathiya the first time I heard them. And Kehna hi kya Tu hi re (Bombay) sound really awkward in comparison to Kannalane and Uyire Uyire. Well, yeah, that was all in the past. Today, the same songs make me think how dumb I was back then to dismiss these beautiful gems.. And that's the same case with Raavanan too. When I heard them for the first time, I thought the lyrics were odd, the choice of singers were bad, etc. In fact, when I listened to Usure Pogathe the first time around, I thought Vairamuthu must have wrote the lyrics in his sleep. Somehow the words didn't seem to gel with the tune...or so I thought. But after listening to the Tamil version a number of times, I found that I love them equally the same. Well, it did take me some time and effort to forget Behne De whenever Usure Pogathe comes into the picture, but I must say that the effort paid off. And even if Vairamuthu has actually written this in his sleep (which I strongly object and I promise that I would punch myself everyday for thinking the same) the lyrics that flow out of him is just so powerful in comparison to what one would be able to write even in his most alert days. And by this, please don't think that I'm making a comparison between Vairamuthu and Gulzar. Since my knowledge of hindi is confined to comprehending only the basic meaning of the words, I'm certainly in no position to comment on Gulzar's work in the same. (Though I do believe he has done an amazing job at that!) Nevertheless, with Raavanan, I found that Vairamuthu has transported me to a whole new world via his potent words. What makes me feel so? When I heard Behne De the first few times around, I found that the protagonist was associating the forbidden love as his only means of survival. With lines like sagar mein jaake girna hai, behene de nadiyan ki tara wasn't he asking himself to be flown as that would enable himself to emerge with the sea? (With sea being his ladylove) A more powerful punch came in the later stanza... Doob gaye jo suna hai saare tere dere aate hain Dil ke chulu mein bechaare dubkiyan aate khaate hain Beh ja, beh ja, chal tod kinare ko Beh ja, beh ja, dhar le majdhare ko Chingari uda ke raakh se ik boondh gira ke aankh se While others have drown in the lady's love, this guy seems to be fighting to take control in order not to suffer the same fate. (Ok, my understanding of hindi might not be as good as I thought, so if I'm wrong here, please do correct me on it.) But yeah, with Behne De, I felt that the protagonist was making an effort to survive... On the other hand, with Usure Pogathey, the same forbidden love is associated with his destruction, and what's more, this was a destruction which he most welcomed. Notice these lines... Adi Thaeku Mara Kaadu Perusuthaan Chinna Theekuchi Osaram Sirusuthaan Oru Theekuchi Vizhunthu Pudikuthadi Karunthaekumara Kaadu Vedikuthadi In the above lines, he tells on how a small match stick is able to destroy a whole forest and on a later stage... paamba? vizhutha? oru pagupaadu theriyalaye, paamba irunthum nenjam bayappada nenaikkalaye In the beginning he was unsure if he's playing with a snake or a log. Nevertheless, though he later found that it was in fact a snake he never once fear for it. The lines seem to depict that though the protagonist knew he would be destroyed, he seems to be welcoming the destruction instead of fighting it. And that’s what makes Usure pogathey a world’s apart from Behne De. Though both were written for the same situation, notice how these great poets describe the forbidden love in their own way? While one was surviving because of it, the other wants to die for it. I guess that’s the brilliance of Gulzar and Vairamuthu. They needn’t have to translate each other’s work. They just took the essence of the song and made a world of their own. Last but not least, who

Can someone please tell me, what instrument plays in 'Chhoti si asha' or 'china china asai' from Roja at 2.29 and 2.34/2.35.

Pravinder. --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, Prasad Varma svspva...@. .. wrote: Oh man! (Gomzy that was for you ;-) ) I am glad someone here noticed this and pointed it out. Actually ever since WOHE, ARR has been smuggling a lot of subtle Chinese arrangements in his songs that need a decent pair of headphones and a keen sense of hearing to discern. The first time I heard Chinese influences in AR's music was way back in Jeans in the intro of Atisayam/Ajooba as the song was partly pictured at the Great Wall. Raavan more than anything else makes a compelling argument to listen to AR's music on headphones. There are so many bells and whistles and Easter eggs scattered around that even a slight waver in our concentration makes them go unnoticed . I think K.J.Singh and Deepak P.A deserve huge accolades for doing fantastic job on mixing of this album given the asynchronous multi faceted nature of the album. It is also wonderful to see the majority of the reviewers giving some time to fully comprehend this complex (in terms of arrangements) s/track and raving about it. Also one big round of applause for the anonymous ripper and Wired Beats for gifting us the Female version of Aromale and making it look like one cohesive piece. An awesome track and on the opposite end of the spectrum compared to the multi-layered Behane de. Just show cases our man's versatility! And thanks to Rawat too for doing a great job with the the translations! Wired Beats - Has the thought of rearranging Aromale ever crossed your mind or is it too challenging to attempt?

The Erhu is this two-string chinese instrument, played like a violin. I have loved the sound right from when I heard it in Golden Era (Warriors of Heaven and Earth) ...and just 3 months ago I got a Erhu concerto CD and have been addicted to the sound of that instrument. So I was so ecstatic when I heard it used in the BGM of Female Aaromale during the scene right before Manipaaya starts. And again was extremely happy to hear it being used in Killi Re from 3:11-3:21. Its just so subtle yet beautiful... only ARR the wizard is brilliant enough to add these pinch of exotic instruments to create magic with each tune. If anybody knows other pieces in which this instrument has been used, do let me know! And i hope ARR Sir continues using it even more in the future :-)
