Re: [arr] The Rising built with exceptional Tala and ragas.
Anyways another effect which is worth mentioning..the rhythm aspect of the song Maula...very detailed melody, every note fitting into the frame of mishrachapu the cycle..the gamakas are divine and fits perfectly in order. The style of changing ragas or melodic scales is much heavier in this song compared to Pal Pal Hai Bhaari of swades. The raga/melody arrangement is indeed amazing for those music purist you might get wht am I trying to convey here. The rising is indeed a succesfull Experimental soundtrack. - Original Message - From: sendil sadasivam To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 15, 2005 6:29 PM Subject: Re: [arr] The Rising built with exceptional Tala and ragas. hai Keshav,excellent review.

Re: [arr] The Rising built with exceptional Tala and ragas.
Hie dunt appreciate me for the effort. I've been inspired by Rahman to scribble down my mindset and genuine thoughts about his efforts at making music prevail without boundaries. All praises belong to him Alone. God Bless Ya!

Re: [arr] The Rising built with exceptional Tala and ragas.
hai Keshav, excellent review. Congratulations and thanks for providing such a wonderful review. This is evidence of true review. There will be mixed reactions for Rising. But i believe that i will end up atleast a big hit. Rahman's beauty is adding lot of loops and variations in the songs.I believe Rising songs a lot of variations which i never ever noticed in his earlier songs. There is seamless integration of different variations of tunes in the Ma vari vari song.It amazes how this variation happening in the song without anyone can ever notice that. Next time keep listen carefully you find the variations clearly. --- keshav <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hie..its my 10th hearing of this wonderfull > soundtrack...while I am writing this review .I think > Rahman's outcome this time was beyond expectation of > many, i dunt understand why the melody failed to > reach many, whereas in my case it glued to my soul > just after the first hearing.

[arr] The Rising built with exceptional Tala and ragas.
Hie..its my 10th hearing of this wonderfull soundtrack...while I am writing this review .I think Rahman's outcome this time was beyond expectation of many, i dunt understand why the melody failed to reach many, whereas in my case it glued to my soul just after the first hearing. If bose was a delight presentation of various hue of melody, some classy some fused to be modern. The Rising has a different story to tell...Amazingly rahman has fused both classical and Modern music elements together once again superbly. The Classical aspect is more evident in this album. Another element to be credited is the tala or rhythm, geniusly arranged together with the orchestration resulting in a chemistry to suite the ear drums of listeners. I find hard for me to digest comments such as "Rahman is repetative" and in this case adhering to the rhythm loops. Rahman has always been the mega-genius who exploits micro-music (detailed Music Presentation). Rahman has done a great job handling the folk genre too. What amazes me, is how he comes out with such original tunes leaving listener to just hear on without any distraction. Truly speaking I've only experience this with rahmans songs only. Now feeding into the soundtrack.. Mangal-Mangal- THe initial rhythm, promises an immortal music sanctuary ahead..A vigouros affort..great rustic voice contributing to evoke a folkish ambience.Get the hold of the intricate details behind THE CHORDS..Rahman signature composing element it flow abundantly sparking magic. You will realize that by the time. you've begin to enjoy the song its ends in a dash leaving your ears hungry for more divine melody. Main Vari Vari - After that promising start comes the stormy classical number by kk and reena. Its kick starts with the tabla and sarangi duo...for short but believe me so melidious. Once again a fresh tune (Mixing many hues of it together).With the usage of KK the song sounds divine. The supportive chorus have been helpfull too.The song ends mysteriously..I am already craving Hori Re - One of those folkish number that I' ve been expecting for long from rahman. The highlight of this song is the rhythm, notice how it is geniusly woven with the melody of the track. Nice to see that Chinmayi and Srinivas giving their fair share for this song. Looking forwad for a duet from them soon. A good number nice adorned with fine arrangement. A feast for the soul. Rasiya - Before I start commenting. The song seem to be the crossbreed effect of sufism and indian classical music call it a new genre in film music (meenaxi had more tendency towards sufism music). Its starts with the strings which haunts the song all over. The melody is fresh, taking dark and bright sides altenatively..which creates the ultimate listening pleasure till the end. The husky voice vs. the melodius is another supreme effect. And Boy! before i forget the Interludes are just breathtaking... Mangal-Mangal (Agni) - The break which I've been waiting for. This version has some extended lyrics and melody which is added on gradually. The conch blowed initialy might give you the picture of rahmans eminence in music (rasa aspect or convence of emotion and feeling through music).This version is themed around Agni which is the methaphor of valor. The number is nicely inserted into the album conveying various shades of moods and ethics of the movie. Takey Takey - Ajao! Ajao! phrases initialy gives us the feel that the music journey has just only begun and has much more to unleash on its course and advising to follow it genuinly. Nice blended bhangra genre with techno upbeats. I noticed that rahman have used his prodigy in the making i mean daugthers as supportive chorus for this song. They create hype all over the the song with their sweet and cute hindi dictions.A racy number good voice modulation and not forgeting the interesting intreludes. Al Maddath Maula - Wow! Rahman Rahman Rahman, His high picthed delicate vocal chords is soaring high ever since Yeh jo Des and Aazadi. He is sounding very polished, this time conveying pathos in a great extend. The ragas(Shivaranjini,Puriya,Keervani etc) finely blend in with the support of orchestration behind and vocals are heavenly.You wont wanna miss even a swara/note when the song is gradualy builds up pace. Very intricate melody form as I said earlier, it ends with the the harmonium fading away in thin air withs rahman revived vocal. This is indeed the highlight of the album. Mangal Mangal (Atma) - "Lokha Samastha Sukino Bhavanthu" May all the people in all the worlds be happy. This version describes a strong message of victory..with some initial pathos conveyed and the rhythm loops is up again as usual. The jathiswaram "tha na na is beautifully aligned with the rhythm and the the akaaram (singing of a
