Re: [arr] Those seeking Rahman from the 90s
yes the sound still remains very very arr ... my uncle who recognises arr as the composer of bombay & gentleman still recognises that its rahman when a new song is played on tv ... i would prefer to go back to my childhood days when i listen to arr of the 90s ... i dont want to remember the office days instead ... ;) if he delivers 90s kind of music, we would say hes repetitive .. else we would crave for the 90s music .. arr bashing is becoming fashionable these days ...

Re: [arr] Those seeking Rahman from the 90s > "RAHMAN SOUND"
I agree with Vijay. I had posted this sometime back that we are witness to creation of a new Genre of music, which I call "RAHMAN SOUND". Call it an imaginary feeling or whatever, I consider it as a combination of bass / rhythm, occasional use of raw voices, various music bits and the famous LOOP. So whennever such combination is heard, the instant reaction is " AH ! This sounds like Rahman song". So it is no wonder that Harris Jeyraj songs sound very similar to Rahman sound. Could be because he had worked with Rahman earlier ?

Re: [arr] Those seeking Rahman from the 90s
well atleast the sound still remains very very A R Ryou can recognise an A R R track immediately even if you never heard it before this has been the case for the past 16 yearsspare a thought for music lovers of other musicians/groups.Enigma and Deep forest for example whose music i absolutely adored...the E5 album changed everything and the E6 didnt have the sound of Enigma...ditto for Deep Forest's Music Detected.On the other hand a guy like Nitin Sawhney is very much moving on the same path as A R R...his Beyond Skin still remains my all time favourite but he still maintains his sound with his latest work.

Re: [arr] Those seeking Rahman from the 90s
NICE! I fully agree with you Chord. I am a fan of his from the very first album released and I can only say he is only getting better with every new creation. Long live ARR and keep up the good work!

Cut your losses and grieve, or celebrate with the mature and progressive composer whose brilliance is unfaded. Rahman going back in time is not going to happen. Oh, sure, Rahman will keep belting out quality/hit scores, but if you're wanting Deja Vu Rahman, forget it. And that's a good thing. If he kept going back to his 90s mould, he would be labeled as repetitive, one dimensional, etc. I'd much rather have a Rahman who moves forward, progresses and matures as a composer, and experiments, even if all his experiments don't work at the BO.

[arr] Those seeking Rahman from the 90s
Been hearing mumblings about wanting the Rahman from the 90s back. My advice? Cut your losses and grieve, or celebrate with the mature and progressive composer whose brilliance is unfaded. Rahman going back in time is not going to happen. Oh, sure, Rahman will keep belting out quality/hit scores, but if you're wanting Deja Vu Rahman, forget it. And that's a good thing. If he kept going back to his 90s mould, he would be labeled as repetitive, one dimensional, etc. I'd much rather have a Rahman who moves forward, progresses and matures as a composer, and experiments, even if all his experiments don't work at the BO. BTW, to me, JA is not an experiment gone wrong. It's Rahman on top of his game. The guy is a master composer with unknown potential. If you want Rahman from the 90s, there are PLENTY of soundtracks to choose from. I love Rahman from the 90s and I have lots of CDs I can put on if I want to go back. But, I also love Rahman of today, even if I don't cherish ALL his songs, just like in the past. He's been there, done that. Time to move forward. No more Dil Se, no more Taal.
