http://www.reuters.com/article/filmNews/idUSTRE5970QC20091008 Tech credits are solid, with the film representing the American debut of Indian superstar film composer A.R. Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire). His is an efficient though relatively unmemorable job, the only hint of his Indian roots coming in the almost superfluous sequences involving Reno's couples whisperer. --- On Sun, 10/11/09, Tamiliniyan mytamilmyta...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Tamiliniyan mytamilmyta...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [arr] Right to opinion.

Roshan, I completely agree with you! --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Roshan c.pix...@... wrote: I don't agree with you people at all. Lack of orchestra and interludes ? Guys, just remember this.. AR is composing for films, he is not making classical music. He picks the instruments based on what the requirement is for the movie. so, don't expect to have a full orchestra playing all the songs for a movie like Blue. But still, listen to the tracks like Itinerary from CR, that Continium piece in Rehna Tu, the Flute interludes in Hawa Sun Hawa, the orchestral arrangements of Tu Muskura.. the Sax in Tu Bole... etc.. Come on.. two minutes of awesomeness in Rehna Tu, the soulful tune and equally brilliant singing in Dil Gira Daftan, if yall think that these songs sound too repetitive, i will probably go an check my ears. :) I just don't get it when people complain about ar loosing his touch or becoming repetitive. For me, I think rahman became more versatile now. he has reached a stage now that he can decide not to have a indian style interlude for a song like Sajna. there is absolutely no need for it. it is a western song and you don;t get to hear much interludes in a RB or Soul singing. because, simply there is no need for it in that genre. Less is More And I think, all type of music, whether it is WEstern classical, Carnatic or Hindustani or japanese or chinese, have their own charm and beauty. if a song doesn't have Carnatic Raga in it, it is not going to become soul-less. I am sure Western and Hindustani music can also bring soul to a song. for anyone who has doubts, Listen to the track called One man's dream by Yanni That's just my opinion :)

Missing the haunting interludes, more hip hop styled ,no orchestration at all, easy to sing(may be no use of ragas or simple use of ragas). But all the songs are listenable but not having that much life. Let us have an healthy discussion. --- On *Fri, 9/10/09, sriramvr_in sriramvr...@yahoo.com* wrote: From: sriramvr_in sriramvr...@yahoo.com Subject: [arr] Right to opinion.

I have been silently listening to the comments made about me reg. criticism of album Blue lacking soul. I Stand by the fact anytime, anyday.. Unfortunately there isn't anything which I can take as constructive from those criticisms! Wish them luck and prosperity throughout their life. Gopal, This group used to be a great forum previously but the fact that many new people are fearing to accept any criticism these days! ARR fans have the right to criticise ARR. Right to constructive criticism will be only a healthy leading indicator and which will be wholeheartedly welcomed by the Master himself. But unfortunately there aren't too many members who like constructive criticisms these years. Had one valid point from a member saying that probably lesser usage of carnatic raagas might be the reason. Reasonings like those will be an eye-opener and will help in identifying the reason. What justification to be given when it simply lacks soul? V R Sriram -- Add whatever you love to the Yahoo! India homepage.
