Re: [arr] Endhiran - Initial Reactions - Mixed Feelings
Keep very low expectations and listen to the songs I m sure you will get mesmerized. I know these kind of songs are not liked by all. I wonder how North Indians would perceive to Rahman's experimented song? I wonder how Hindi version songs will be ? I didn't like Sivaji - The Boss songs in Hindi. --- On Sun, 1/8/10, Roshan wrote: From: Roshan Subject: Re: [arr] Endhiran - Initial Reactions - Mixed Feelings To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Sunday, 1 August, 2010, 12:51 AM didn't like it ..

Re: [arr] Endhiran - Initial Reactions - Mixed Feelings
Guys, ARR has done so many genre of music, if you want melody there are huge collections in his whole set of composition, classic, hindustani, fusion, rap etc etc. There are albums which contains mixture of these genre of music, some having same genre, sangamam is purely classical, boys, enthiran are purely western, sivaji mixture of both... so depending on what director asks arr delivers them, so dont compare music of one album with another, that doesn't make sense. If songs are like sivaji then people would say songs are same like sivaji, nothing new, if it is not like sivaji we say "i expected something like sivaji" All I would say for those who doesn't like enthiran, take a break go and listen arr's old albums and hear enthiran, you will feel the difference. Still you are not satisfied, go and hear other music director's music, this will really help.

Re: [arr] Endhiran - Initial Reactions - Mixed Feelings
I'm in the same boat but perhaps for different reasons. It's been a long while since I could really dig into an ARR album. I like few parts of Pudhiya Manidha, the elongated brass/string chords in Kadhal Annukal (isn't that reminiscent of Don Davis/Navras?), the African vocals in Kilimanjaro, the bizarre, saccharine classical section in Chitti Dance. I can't listen to the others. It's just not my kind of music again.

Re: [arr] Endhiran - Initial Reactions - Mixed Feelings
I am loving the songs. I never thought that we could hear these kinds of songs in a Tamil movie. The last time that I said wow for an ARR song was Aaromale. This album has 2 of them - Pudhiya manidha and Irumbile. Just waiting to get my hands on the CD. I am also happy that ARR is using Shreya more frequently nowadays and hope that it continues. She is brilliant, probably the best of this generation. Love her singing in Kadal Anukkal. FYI, songs are available for listening on Raaga.com. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Madhavan Rajan wrote: > > I feel really sorry for those who couldn't connect to the songs!

@chord & Madhavan, thanks :) .. I guess I was too soon to make a comment about the album. on repeated listening, I have started liking Puthiya Manidha. and some parts of other songs. but Arima seems to be totally out of my taste. I did like the Oruvan Oruvan from muthu a lot. however, this is not growing on me for some reason. i tend to skip it. i will post again after a week if it has started indeed growing on me :) meanwhile those who liked the album.. i envy you. :) enjoy it guys. really happy to see a lot of good comments after a long time.

I feel really sorry for those who couldn't connect to the songs! As you made a honest statement, not everyone has same taste...For me, the entire soundtrack sounds very innovative...Sometimes, even smaller elements within the song is enough to create that magic instead of a full length melody...I normally don't expect a particular genre in a film album as the songs are always composed keeping the script in mind... All I can say is a usual statement - Give it a try, else try listening after watching the movie...It's a known fact that few songs of AR gets connected after a long time...Hope you like them soon and enjoy the moment...

Re: [arr] Endhiran - Initial Reactions - Mixed Feelings
Same here, Chord. The songs aren't my cup of tea. Finding it difficult to connect to the album but I am loving Kadal Anukkal. I am not sure if noisy is the word but perhaps loud and busy, I feel. Like you, I am missing a Sahara in the album. Would have loved a full-on melody in this soundtrack. I could connect much more to Raavanan and VTV and perhaps even Sivaji. Despite this, I think the soundtrack delivers to the mass appeal required for a Rajni movie and now a Rajni-Shankar movie. It's a full-on commercial package taking into account the cast and crew's image. Really happy that it works for lots of people on here. Looking forward to connecting to this soundtrack more.
