[arr] Re: Dissection of my posts

[nivensamy]

Its sad for me too to see how members can be so personal when challenging 
someone's views as if they should dictate their tastes and knowledge. As a 
senior of this group I admire when someone put forward his thoughts with 
substantiated background. Now anyone can have his own opinions which im sure 
will differ with other members but its not mature to start bashing each 
sentence, point by point and worst when its targeting a specific member. 

This group is highly appreciated by our idol A R Rahman, please learn from his 
humility and love for everyone without putting barriers of language and 
spreading love thru his music. Learn from his wise words for tolerance... If 
someone here cannot be a good disciple of thalaiva, may he remain away from 
this group. We want only  heathly debates!!!

Ichord dont let one member shatter our excitement in reading your excitements 
about rahman's music. 

Gopal bro, can you do anything about members who are going too far when 
targeting other members??

[arr] Re: continuum in blue???

[nivensamy]

This is where I hear the continuum used to generate a racing motorcycle sound 
in Blue theme. And I can assure u that each time I come across a running 
motocycle on street I think of blue theme...

0:22-0:29
01:04-1:07
01:10-1:20
01:42-1:46
1:59-02:05
2:18-2:40
3:07-3:11
3:15

All these pointers you will ask... well its what I got after many listening of 
the cd with my big headphones...some place its very low level...

[arr] Re: BLUE : THEME SONG VIDEO : AWESOME

[nivensamy]

First 50 Secs are awesome, rest I find that both music and underwater sequences 
,though magnificent, donnot go along.. They have been wasted... You cannot put 
fast racy beats and punchy raps in tranquil underwater shootings... That's my 
personal opinion n taste.

Hope it'll be better in the film...

I pictured the blue theme like fast moto/car racing in neon lighted streets 
with lots of effects n explosion...

[arr] Re: 'Blue' Sound/Audio Quality - "Dissapointed"

[nivensamy]

I really find it hard to believe, im perplex about this audio quality issue.

I have average audio systems , No BOSE or JBL / Harman Kardon.. but still im 
finding so much sound quality in BLUE cd...

Cant find the reason for sudden reaction of some members.  My guess is that 
Music distributors are playing tricks with us. I remember for D6 I got a 
package where the mirror was nothing but a carton coated with glossy paper. And 
now for BLUE the T-Series logo is BLUE and not the normal red.

Count me on board. Earlier connections cd is too good to be missed in my

Really true... I think that much soundscaping is also present in Kangalil keidu

I will not be surprised that Rahman may collaborate with Kylie for her next

And If im not wrong, she's in the film just for the song. Heard that there

[arr] Re: Few apt words to describe Blue.......

[nivensamy]

well said, my first impression is that this the most international album ever 
made from Bollywood... Rahman surely has got the oscARR cap...

And I already see most of the tracks topping all indian charts in comins weeks 
and stay for long and competing with each other as there are no serious 
contenders in the horizon of Bolly Music.

I rarely write long paragraphs cause of a busy schedule but the double gift 
that BOSS gave us (passage,BU LUUuu) are so damn good that I had to find some 
times to express myself.

However I am disappointed that there are no more 'dissapointed' messages from 
our friends... 

My message is that the promos we had are called as TEASERS and I guess some 
dont like to be teased, they take the thing seriously as the final work... A 
die hard rahman fan knows how and when to give impressions and reviews on his 
masterpieces. BIG RESPECT to talaivaa for giving us such treats for the ears.

BLUE will be like a tsunami to the other scores we had so far for the year.. 
other albums will be flooded by the secrets of BLUE...

ENJOY...

[arr] Re: Passage released

[nivensamy]

Friends, rahman music is really fitted in the movie. As Gopal mentionned, its a 
promotional movie and from what I read its to be viewed in a specially designed 
'Cinema'. This project is prototype of what might be the next revolution in 
hybrid art form cinema-architecture. I guess that Rahman was chosen by 
Shekar as he knows how they can communicate their cinematic needs. And IMHO Our 
Boss gave his talented creativity as he could to fit the music in the mood of 
the movie. 

Personally I dont think there will be a cd release as its an experience as can 
be deduced from the site's name.

I myself was confused while seeing that I could download the movie and complete 
soundtrack. After watching the movie and still being confused I read through 
the articles on the website and it all made sense to me.

Music wise, the tracks are too good... specially Tango... Very different fro 
usual flavour. Again an example that BOSS is very versatile and can do justice 
to a movie's theme.

And as fans we should all first ask ourselves if Rahman cannot satisfy us...

I, as a die hard fan, don't judge his music, I just consume it with passion and

For me, its  none other than "Margazhi Poove" from May Maadham...
Specially for the flute intepretation of the Venkateswara suprabhatham which is 
a prayer addressed to Lord Venkateswara early in the morning.

Purevibz, really a good initiative to create that poll and as I expected, "so

could ARR compose such trash? It's below him!"

and i think majority (above 70 % ) , inc me, will wait for album before any

Re: [ARR] Blue - Chiggy Wiggy video

[nivensamy]

Chiggy wiggy will be a big hit. Come on friends, as mentionned earlier its a 
dance floor song in an action-thriller movie for mass audience... and the music 
though is a mix of bhangra n reggeaton, has rahman's touch to it, like the 
percussions used in "Nadhiye" from rhythm and the shennai/nadaswaram used in 
outro of chiggy wiggy...

Let the music invade your mind...

I cant understand how you say that  dilli 6, ghajini, yuvraaj,jtjn were 
disasters!!!

DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY !!! I cant force anyone to have my taste.. Except that im

Im really hurt... now imagine how ARR must be if he get this feedback from his

YES VERY DISAPPOINTING, and the only one I get is that members judge double 
oscar winner collaboration with international pop artist Kylie just by 
listening to a 19 sec teaser ... 

Come on friends... wait for audio cd to give appreciation/critics.

Vithur, for me the most creativity of this feature is the usage of 'Dil Ka 
rishta' in 'Liquid Dance' ... or is it vice versa as he must has been on both 
projects in same timeframe..

Here, in addition of using an extract, he also reversed it... abs marvellous...

[arr] Re: Which one song by ARR best summarizes who ARR really is?

[nivensamy]

Thats a very nice topic chord. But I note that all 5 tracks mentionned are in 
hindi. Im not raising a language issue here.

Im just thinking that each member will have his own appreciation based on his 
personal backgrouds...

My point is , its very difficult to find only one song to summarise ARR 
personality. 

Mine might be the tunes he composed for commercials, im thinking of the ad for 
the times of India chennai concert, where he says 'Music has changed and the 
change is me"

Link here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne1l6VNkuLM

Might be a surprise to many, but this short track has so much rahmanism in it 
IMHO... specially the way its been picturised as rahman music is visual.

Good observation Ramesh. Global Media is deviating from their main purpose of 
informing and all they need is making business.

I PERSONALLY know the frustration when your mails are not replied or commented. 
Some people will get many rapid responses, and some not. You will have to bear 
it if you are a die hard rahman fan and think that this group is of importance 
to you. 

When you think that this group have above 10,000 members and not even a 
response to your post, there are many things that goes in your head.  But you 
should take it with philosophy and you will enjoy being here. Life is a 
challenge with many hurdles, you will grow by learning to surmount them.

Really really big thanks to taimur and swaps for posting such a complete review 
on theekuruvai. Its a thing i;ve been wanting to write but im short of such 
knowledge on music constructions and raagas. Im really happy to see other 
enthusiasts about Kangalil keidu sei music as its really one among my top 5 
best albums ever...

One thing i want to add is that this song can be well sync with fireworks 
anyway, it surely does fireworks in my head... ;-)

What about DRM??? was strong at one time but failing to be used as a means of 
anti-piracy. I guess music companies are profiting from piracy... The more 
people buy, or download,  be it at small costs, the companies make benefits.

It seems 'Web 2.0' bested Jai Ho and Slumdog.

[arr] Re: Listening to rahman songs without effects

[nivensamy]

Of course technology is an important factor, optimally, it would be listening 
to his music in the environment he created them as its there that his music can 
be reproduced 1:1

But the thing I point out is that virtual effects recreated with audio players 
is not recommended, better leave them off. Anyway, anyone is free to experiment 
depending on his player. I turned mine off on my Nokia 5800 Express music with 
Sony MDR-G82 headphones and prefer it like that.

[arr] Listening to rahman songs without effects

[nivensamy]

I know many of us listen to rahman songs on portable player where there are 
stereo widening effects, reverb, SRS Wow etc... 

Have you tried listening without enabling these? I did and discovered natural 
effects that was used by Rahman which get screwed when we use the player sound 
effects.

Give it a try.

[arr] Revisiting 'Kangalil Keidu Sei'

[nivensamy]

Dear Rahmaniacs, Im not expert at reviewing rahman's music as many of us here 
do. But I cannot restrain myself to write a message on my overwhelming pleasure 
of listening again and again to this marvelous album who remains one of my fav 
from Our BOSS... All tracks are superbly composed with so much subtle effects 
used here n there and put that spicy touch to each song. Wow, though I have not 
put importance to understand the words, Im 1% very fulfilled with the high 
state these tracks put me in. They eject me from any mind state I may be and 
project me in another dimension where only musical prowess reigns and that of A 
R Rahman... Specially Theekuruvil... and the tubular bells used in it.

I compel anyone here who has not heard this album to make it a MUST!!! Language 
is no barrier, Rahman speaks only music.

Take care,

Niven

[arr] Re: Now is the perfect time to release Connections

[nivensamy]

As I mentionned in earlier post, I bought the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and was 
shocked that it did not contain the 'connections' album but 18 tracks from 
international charts. Also when i queried the Nokia distributor in Mauritiusm 
they told me that the 'Comes with music' version of the phone is almost double 
the price I paid for and is only available in Singapore, and only recently in 
UK.

I think Nokia is targeting only Indian market for Rahman fans as they chose him 
to launch the product on his birthday.
