We start an online campaign / petition - what say group? We're a 15k-strong group - how about we can get approx 10k ppl to support this via an online petition / campaign? But if we were to step back and think rationally, there are a couple of challenges: 1 the fact that nokia released this exclusively on their phones, ARR probably has a contractual obligation that'll be difficult to wiggle out of 2 let assume we create enough buzz / interest (with our campaign / petition) for sony / universal / such to sit up and take notice - whats the record company's interest in releasing this? There are two challenges to this album a) piracy b) unconventional / not-a-mass-appeal album Despite these very real challenges, I'm all for trying to convince ARR / Nokia / Sony to release the full Connection album - and am willing to drum up whatever support I can find for this. Thinking about albums, what about the 'Confluence of the Birds' album that ARR had mentioned sometime back? Is this still on? It also be great to have the recent ARR Unplugged concert for DD also to be released as an album - does anyone feel the same about that? --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, wiredbeats wiredbeats@ ... wrote: go to kodambakkam Subbarayan Nagar and ask anyone.
