Re: [arr] Kabhi Kabhi Aditi and Mustafa Mustafa

I do not find anything wrong either (so need to get defensive!). But its interesting to note that sometimes Rahman gets inspired by some of his lovely BGMs. And since I listen to Rahman's music so much I can't help noticing these things. I remember "Telephone Dhun (manipol)" from Indian/Hindustan

[arr] Kabhi Kabhi Aditi and Mustafa Mustafa

The first time I listened to Kabhi Kabhi Aditi from the upcoming movie "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na" I told myself "This sounds so awesome but I've heard this before." After spending a few minutes wondering where I'd heard it, I finally found it! :) Its from the BGM of "Mustafa Mustafa" .. the first line

[arr] Jodhaa Akbar CDs available in California, USA

Hi everyone, I had the pleasure of listening to JA's songs for the first time today - in their entirety. CDs are available in California (at least near the San Francisco area) - the CD cover and inlay designs are very well done. Still trying to digest all the songs. I'd already fallen in love wit

[arr] Sivaji music

Sivaji songs are quite nice. My favorite song is Sahara and the sad version. The songs remind me a little bit of songs from "Parthaale Paravasam" though. Do you guys agree? - Aanand

[arr] Rahman at Stanford

Hi all, Just wanted to give the fans group a quick email on the Rahman event at Stanford Univ last night. Overall, the event was a disappointment since some odd Stanford professor spent the first 45 minutes discussing Rahman's music giving no special insights whatsoever. Her questions to Rahman w

[arr] Re: Rang De Basanti music sales???

Wow, thats an atrociously biased statement to make - that "lower and middle class people are not mature in their musical tastes." Who are we to decide who's taste is more "mature"? Lets enjoy Rahman's music because we like it, not because for some reason we believe we have superior musical taste.

[arr] Thoughts on RDB

I feel like Rahman has discovered a new, youthful sound in RDB, atleast i n a few of the songs. The only disappointment is that he hasn't expanded on Khoon Chala. The song is one of the most original melodies I've heard in a long time, and the guy Mohit has a fantastic, original voice. I'm not

[arr] Re: Some thoughts on Rang De Basanti

Tu Bin Bataye totally reminds me of "Anbe Sugama" from Paarthale Paravasam. The melody, and even the way Naresh sings. I like Rubaroo, Luki and Khoon Chala the most in RDB. - Aanand. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "Ganesh Manikandan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Listening to "Tu Bin Bata

[arr] Mayilirage - Jeans?

Is a cool song. It reminds me of "Hai Rabba" and "Anbe Anbe" from Jeans. Did anyone else think so? - Aanand. This August, Discover the Birth of Your Independence and The Magic of A.R.Rahman's Music in Mangal Pandey - The Rising http://www.risingthefilm.com http://www.mangalpandeythefilm.co

Re: [arr] Rising and criticism

ot really think it is. If he is making music for movies especially period ones he has got to give situational music. He will definitely not have the flexibility of giving any music he wants. Otherwise it will stink like AM's music for Asoka where the music did not relate to the period at

[arr] Rising and criticism

I'm disappointed and sad that in general this yahoogroup seems to be unable to take any criticism of Rahman in its stride. Good fans will not accept poor quality music and still convince themselves that it is good. Good fans will also not berate people who make fair criticism of Rahman's music. I

[arr] Rising on Raaga

Hi all - I listened to Rising songs on Raaga.com today. After brilliant songs in Bose, "Rising" is certainly a disappointment. Overall, the songs sound like "Meenaxi" and it seems to me that Rahman probably composed Rising soon after Meenaxi, since you can see the similarities in the orchestral ar
