  Count me on board. Earlier connections cd is too good to be 
missed in my collection.



Any way we can get other fan group to join the online petition? Maybe we could 
put the petition on arrahman.com itself... Just a thought.

   How can we request a CD version. Can so many of us not use our influence

Dear Fellow fans

Is there a way we can push our way collectively in convincing the Nokia 
folks to get the album out in a CD. All fans i am sure have a copy of 
it either through the phone or some download site. It is very sad such 
a great set of tracks are restricted to few phone models. Very sad.



I am wondering what name will suit, because connections is taken for a 
compliation album!

if you can find all the useful information there is about Connections

we don't have an answer to:

- who owns the rights to all the tracks of Connections? Universal

- does ARR intend to keep these for another purpose? future use? (then
we drop this effort - just out of respect for our the boss)

- are there any small(er) labels (like Phat Phish) who are willing to
back a non-mainstream release like Connections. my hunch is Universal
won't be interested because of class (vs mass) appeal of the tracks.
someone who's in this field / has 'connections' in the music industry /
ad industry should be able to help us..

- can we ensure WE will be able to generate not just enthusiasm but
commercial interest (real record sales) for some record label (small or
big) to take this up? how? this album does not have to sell as many
copies as a regular Bollywood soundtrack, but at least as much for a
company to be interested in this.

- are we interested ONLY in a CD release or is a legal hi-quality MP3
release good to start with? if legal MP3s are we're seeking - the
initial cost-barriers are very low.

- does anyone know anyone who's in a position to  influence this
positively? (this can be figured out along the way)

... are there any more questions to add here?



we target 5000 honest-real-non-multiple votes. validation of this will
be -- each vote must translate into at least one sale of the album, if
it's released.

if we don't get to that figure, we drop this effort - and declare
ourselves to be an elite-exclusive-music-club who's musical tastes are,
unfortunately, not shared by the everyone (just kidding but who knows)

I totally support getting a full release for Connections. 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?

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?

  How can we request a CD version. Can so many of us not use our

influence and make a mass request?

 

  Can we write a formal request letter to Rahman's management? or

Nokia folks?

   Dear Fellow fans

   Is there a way we can push our way collectively in convincing the

Nokia folks to get the album out in a CD. All fans i am sure have a copy

of it either through the phone or some download site. It is very sad

such a great set of tracks are restricted to few phone models. Very sad.

  

   I am wondering what name will suit, because connections is taken

for a compliation album!

I totally support getting a full release for Connections. 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
