Re: Re: [arr] Remembering the songs from Taj Mahal
Why Tajmahl songs went unnoticed; obviously the movie did not do well is the primary reason. Apart from this, ARR was giving a tough competition to himself by having no. of releases at the same time and apparently, Mudhalvan audio was also released within a span of 1 week. May be in the years to come, we can see the same topic with a change of album name ie Tajmahal to Yuvraaj. What you think guys Krishna.

I need to express my feelings about this song from Sangamam, which really impresses both intellectually and emotionally. The way Shankar M has sung this song is absolutely divine. The infectious dholak rhythm with the Mast Qalandar like melody (not at all copied) makes this song my very favorite from Sangamam. I love it when the second interlude adds this incredibly infectious ghungru rhythm, very similar in pattern to the Taal Se Taal mila, Hai Na, Chale Chalo Mitwa ghungru tracks, taken away, then back again for the final portion of the song. Just pure magic. I truly with Shankar M would sing for ARR again. Heard that ARR said that Mani's next would be kind of similar to the style of Sangamam (folk, semi classical), so we can really look forward to that. Am curious to know what everyone's favorite song from Sangamam is.

Re: [arr] " My heart cant forget it. Rahman and me" - KALAIPULI DHANU
On the lines of MR, Shankar, Ashuthosh, ROM, etc., the producers who blessed by excellent music are Kalaipuli Dhanu and another one is V. Natarajan for their movies like Kizakku simayle, Kandukondain, Sakkarakatti and Sangamam, Udaya to name a few. Can anyone throw light on V. Natarajan-ARR combo (about their relationship). On Mar 4, 2009 5:21pm, Vithur wrote: “My Heart cant forget it” – Kalaipuli Dhanu “Rahman and Me” My doctors told me that my wife is alive today and she is being gifted with some bonus days in her life. That was the time when Rahman’s mother came to my home. She had come to know through Rahman that my wife was suffering from Liver Cancer. She came and didn’t stop by just consoling me .She did prayers in line with Islamic Traditions. She told to change the colour of the lights to Red colour. She told to change even the Screens in our house. After she finished the prayers, she told my wife to drink the Holy water. My wife was on her death bed, and it was because of the prayers of Rahman’s mother, that my wife got an extended bonus life of another 1 ¾ years. The friendship between Dhanu & ARRahman is something very true. Its without falsehood. If Dhanu says something, people in the Cine Industry say, its like a prophecy. It happens thus!. There can be many examples to quote the same. It was he who gave the title to Rajnikanth as “ Super Star”. Dhanu had predicted and prophesised the Awards of ARRahman. In January, it was the Golden Globe Awards and in February, it has been the Oscar awards. On November 27, on the 100th day of Sakkarakatti, Dhanu had given the advertisement that Rahman has won these awards. In the Advertisement it was stated as “ For tomorrow’s Oscar awards, and for today’s Golden Globe Award winning ARRahman, we are greeting him, and let his musical journey continue”. Dhanu was very sure that Rahman would be winning all these awards in the very future. On the day before the Oscars Ceremony, Dhanu had told to one of the intimate friends of Rahman that he would win two awards for sure. After winning the awards, Rahman had called upon Dhanu and reiterated his prophecy of he winning the Awards. Both their friendship is like Adhiyaman – Avvaiyar friendship ( Both are big time friends of age old times. Both are Tamil Scholars ) Walt Disney has had talks with Rahman for tying up for a movie. They had requested Rahman to let them know of any producer in Chennai, who could be laid faith on, and Rahman immediately showed hands of that of Dhanu. Walt Disney believe in Rahman and Rahman believes in Kalaipuli Dhanu. ( Latest Issue of “ Devi” Magazine – Tamil weekly ) -- regards, Vithur

[arr] 'Mr.Romeo' - The Soundtrack
When I googling, I found this one: Let's check this one. Mr. Romeo - The Soundtrack Hi all, I got to listen (and enjoy) to this soundtrack, it was released last week, so I decided to do a review on it , here it goes: Movie: 'Mr. Romeo' Music: A.R. Rahman Lyrics: Vairamuthu and Vali Direction: Ravi Production: R.B.Southri 'super good films' Soundtrack: Pyramid AV international PTE. Ltd. Wow, A.R.Rahman is amazing, Mr.Romeo has a total of 6 songs, and 4 of them are really unique. What amazes me are the new singers, where are these people coming form? And how many more are there? 1) Romeo attam potal Singers: Udit Narayanan, Hariharan Lyrics: Vairamuthu This is a fast song, totally about Prabudeva - how he started to dance (by accident?), well Vairamuthu has some of his creative techniques embedded in the song. This track will give you some inspiration but it sounds similar to 'shanthi' from Love Birds. Udit (Kulu valilay) is Ok, Hariharan is good. In summary this is a good title song. 2) Yar adhu? Singers: Anto, Chandran, Srivas, Noel James Lyrics: Vairamuthu This is new to Thamil music, A.R has integrated 'Jungle music' into eastern music. I know for sure that Jungle music is famous is England, But I am not sure where it came from?, anyhow A.R has done a very good job integrating these two extreme music together. I did not like this song that much because I am not a fan of Jungle music, I have difficulty finding the beat pattern in Jungle music. I don't have too much to day about the lyrics because it is short and repeating - just like a techno song. 3) Mel isaiyae Singers: Unni Menen, Swarnalatha, Srinivas, Sujatha Lyrics: Vairamuthu Excellent slow song!, the beat can be compared to a typical House beat, I really like the humming, both main singers are great. I should say something about the Tabla mixes, for those of who enjoyed the tabla mixes from 'Oruvan Oruvan' - 'Muthu' yeah!, in this song there are great Tabla mixes, and I can't believe the clarity of them, - great song, but at some points the background beat (house beat) sounds boring. 4) Thaneerai Khadalikum Singers: Sangeetha Sajith Lyrics: Vairamuthu Are you ready for New Age?, well this is it!, this is Tamil new age music!, Excellent Excellent mixes my A.R., the interludes are amazing. A.R has done some voice flanging in this song, this man really knows the technology, and unlike most of us he is using it! The lyrics are alright - a bit sexy at some points. A very good song, it also has an R&B flavour. 5) Muthu Muthu Mazhai Singers: Ila Arun Lyrics: Vairamuthu This is my favourite. This song is different, it is formed by mixing Thamil's own 'Koothu music' and west Indian 'Chutney' music. I love this song!, it makes me dance (even in the bus), wonderful dolak/tabla mixes. Obviously there is a mistake in the names of the artists, because there is a male voice and a female voice. But the female's name is missing. The female voice is so unique - I have no Idea who it is and how she is signing - but she has a different voice, actually it is not her voice it is the way she sings the song - amazing, music mixes are so great, Keep it up A.R. 6) Monalisa Singers: M.Vasudevan, Nagoor Mohammed ali Lyrics: Vali In a certain way, this song is different too but it is more like a Bhangra song, and a baila song and it is also a ghazal. Well that's why I say it is different! Even though the lyrics are not sad the tone of the song is sad. A.R. has used Ghazal pieces as if someone if rapping at the background. This song also reminds me of an old song it goes some what like 'Rathi pona pinnalea'. Vali is talking in English now, he is into English poems, His next assignment is in Hollywood. OK, I lied, but Why is Vali using all this English terms? Except for that part this is an ok song. The CD I bought was from PYRAMID, who are the original distributors for the soundtrack. Listeners should never support Pirated CDs or Cassettes. Buying Pirate musical sources will not give enough money and appreciation for the artists to get a quality job done. Also the Pyramid CD came with all the Lyrics and a lot of colour pictures. That's my review Thanks, Sam Coomaraswamy Department of Computer Science University of Ottawa Yahoo!
