It was received very well by the public and is sure to raise the anticipation levels. “The music is really great, so are the visuals in the songs. I expect it to be a blockbuster” – says Shanker Koladi who attended the audio launch in London. The movie is scheduled to release on 12th February 2010, very close to Valentines Day. Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya has seven songs as part of its music album. The music will be available exclusively on Sony Music and will be released on January 7th, 2010 internationally.

Re: [arr] Blue Telugu
I don't understand why would it not be possible to distribute high quality music online. Very much possible. Like Gops said we should change with time. This is even an very acceptable and progressive change. I don't see a value in having anything physical, if a digital equivalent can save resources, decrease cost, increase quality and distribution access and eventually give more power to the artist than the distributors. Similar trend is happening in the publishing business which is far more disruptive with Kindle-only books getting releases. At least there people have legitimate reasons to crib saying that Kindle will be another strain on eyes. But look at the potential upside in the trees saved and hence the costs. 'Nostalgia has relative value. Ancient sites are guarded vigorously in Western societies while in India we spit on them. This is a different dimension. We might destroy something old and build new and 500 years later the new would have been old. To quote Gita - Chnage is the only constant. But it is up to us maximise the value of change to maximum people. If we think rationally, what we enjoy is music not CDs. I whole heartedly welcome this change.

The â90s had belonged to the composer duo, who churned out chartbuster tunes, one album after another. After a brief hiatus, the duo had come back to Bollywood in 2000 with Dhadkan. Almost instantly, the music created new records. But with /Taal/ in the last year, A R Rahman had proved that conventional Bollywood melodies were giving way to a new sound â where experimentation would lead the way. The dawn of music directors like Vishal-Shekhar and Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy on the scene, who gave equal importance to music production, as they did to composition, all signified a complete overhaul of âconventionalâ Bollywood music. *2001 The Bhatt film formula *The signs were there, right from the time of /Kasoor/. A high-pitched romantic number with a catchy hook (âKitni bechain ho keâ), a male sad song with deep vocals (âMohabbat ho na jaayeâ), and a female sad song about unrequited love (âZindagi man gaye ho tumâ). Mahesh and Mukesh Bhattâs films had worked out a distinct music formula at the time of /Kasoor,/ that theyâd replicate every year, in every movie, even if the composer and singers changed. So, in the years that followed, Anu Malik gave a similar sound in /Murder/, Pritam in /Gangster/, right up to Toshi-Sharib in /Jashn/. You could identify a Bhatt-film song from a mile away, but thatâs not a bad thing. *2002 Kaanta laga *If the Bollywood music industry was ever in peril, it was in 2002, when remixes threatened to replace the âmukhadasâ and âantarasâ with different variations of the phrase âLetâs partyâ, and some turntable effects thrown in for good measure. Shefali Zariwala became the face ... or.. err.. butt of the remix revolution, when she starred in the music video of /Kaanta laga/, thong firmly in place. Pristine Hindi songs like /Chadhti jawani /acquired a new meaning, the moral police had a field day, and DJs minted money with Non-stop remix albums. And we found out that even Bappi Lahiri can be plagiarised, when he sued R ânâ B singer, Truth Hurts for remixing his song /Kaliyon ka chaman /in his single, /Addictive/! *2003 The Return of R D* It had to happen. After RD Burman passed away in 1994, his mad orchestrations, wacky experiments, and penchant for using unusual musical instruments to create songs that broke out of the typical rhythm-based Bollywood routine, could never be recreated by any other composer. A lot of remixes came and went, but the Panchamda sound had been lost forever. Until /Jhankaar Beats /and /Dil Vil Pyaar Vyaar /came. Vishal-Shekharâs break out album, /Jhankaar Beats /was an ode to the legacy of Panchamda, and was rooted in his sound. And /Dil Vil Pyaar Vyaar /went the whole mile, recreating 14 of Burmanâs best songs, in the voice of the present generation. The Pancham flavour was back! *2004 Zip, zoom, dhoom* Move your body, shake your assâ, did you say? That was the domain of the âforeignâ singers, that we caught glimpses of, on late night shows on MTV. Music videos, did you say? Only the Indipop world of Sunita Rao and Baba Sehgal had that. Car music, did you say? Well, unless you call /Kanta laga /car music... In 2004, Pritam changed all that with /Dhoom machale/. With Thai singer Tata Young at its helm, the song was singularly responsible for the zipping âHinglishâ songs we hear on every track now, the trend of music videos, and the much-abused phrase, âinternational collaborationâ. *2005 Kajra re *Thereâs something about /Kajre re /(/Bunty Aur Babli/). Maybe it is the sight of a droolsome Aishwarya Rai performing trademark Bollywood âthumkasâ, in a ravishing, sexy avatar, that men had so-far only dreamed about. Maybe it is the father-son duo dancing with abandon. Or

[arr] ARR - The Soundtrack of My Life
A musicglorious musicthat ever pleasing, soothing, inspiring, maddening, soul stirring, heart wrenching combination of sounds, rhythms, harmonies, melodies that add so much color, dimension, and depth to the human experience; amplifying our emotions and validating them at the same time. We are musical creatures by evolutionin our genes, our blood, our past, present, and future. We all love musicevery human loves it...we just differ in terms of style, form, taste. Music in our bodies, in nature, surrounding us is this big musical sea of sound, that only so few talented people in this world are able to tap and harness in concentrated form and communicate so poignantly and effervescently, like a cloud gathering water from the oceans and pouring nurturing showers to make the earth green and full of life. AR Rahman - One of those very special few in this world who is able to communicate so much through musical forms, a true artiste who is able to express beyond boundaries and given free reign, capture the hearts and souls of millions, providing so much happiness, hope, and inspiration in a world constantly challeged by the evils of greed, corruption, and various other emotional and physical traumas. He has already set himself apart as a modern day rennaissance man, artist, musician, globe trotter, humble and compassionate philanthropist, and to me, a musical saint. Godlike he is not, but Godlike is his music, yes! Such a refreshing and unheard of combination of humility, simplicity, compassion yet influence, power, superstar status.how can this be? Well, he is a measure of his music as is the music a measure of himselfAR Rahman the man and AR Rahman's music are not as distinct, separate entities as one might oridinarily conceive of as music being a product or creation of an artist. It is the whole being greater than the sum of its partsthis gestaltic notion bounded by AR's spiritual and faith oriented consciousness that gives his expressions that stamp of divinity, enchanted by a sense of timelessness. Call it the AR Rahman revolution, the AR Rahman experience...whatever name you likefact is that it seeps deeply into our daily livesthe notes, the sounds, and forms..and makes life so much more beautiful and worth it, no matter our personal hardships. For me, AR's music has become the soundtrack of my life. It is not the ONLY soundtrack, but is THE soundtrack. There is a point in time, each and every day, that AR's music has some positive influence on my mind, my spiritwhether helping to wash away stress or keep negative thoughts at bayand this has nothing to do with any particular song or lyric.it's the whole experience...the man, the music, the magic. Thank you, God for giving me the gift or hearing! Maybe I myself am to blame for this acute sensitivity, but I am grateful for it tooto be open enough and honest enough to experience his music in such a way that is unprecedented by any other musical artist or musical expression in my life thus far. I am grateful for so much in my life and ARR's music is one of those things in my life that I am extremely grateful for.

Re: [arr] Blue Telugu
we've learnt to move on from Photo's to Digital Pictures. Do u see more ppl sticking the photos of their loved ones on their wallets or having their image as a background pic in mobile/PC ? So, even though having the original Audio CD cover may be sentimental, we should move on to just images of it, and start buying Digital downloads. I'm sure selling from just a few digital Outlets will be cheaper for the Producers too. secondly, we can never beat piracy in India or around the world for that matter. Instead of focusing on Piracy, we need to make more ppl buy legally. The change on this side is easier to do.

Like Gops said we should change with time. This is even an very acceptable and progressive change. I don't see a value in having anything physical, if a digital equivalent can save resources, decrease cost, increase quality and distribution access and eventually give more power to the artist than the distributors. Similar trend is happening in the publishing business which is far more disruptive with Kindle-only books getting releases. At least there people have legitimate reasons to crib saying that Kindle will be another strain on eyes. But look at the potential upside in the trees saved and hence the costs. 'Nostalgia has relative value. Ancient sites are guarded vigorously in Western societies while in India we spit on them. This is a different dimension. We might destroy something old and build new and 500 years later the new would have been old. To quote Gita - Chnage is the only constant. But it is up to us maximise the value of change to maximum people. If we think rationally, what we enjoy is music not CDs. I whole heartedly welcome this change.

[arr] ARR - Past analysis, Future Thoughts
Happy new year to all here and hope 2010 is a great one. As we turn a new page on the annual and decadal calender, it behooved me to reflect a bit on the past decade in terms of AR's music, where it has been, and where I think it is going. Here are some of my thoughts: From 2000-2009, AR's music has continuously evolved, never remaining stagnant or stale. Every year, every soundtrack, like a true progressive artist, AR's music offered something new, something innovative, but yet, keeping true to his core signature strengths FOR THE MOST PART. Yes, there have been deviations here and there in terms of what I consider to be his core strengths, but overall, he has stayed pretty much close to home. Some notable overall trends: - Much greater global recognition - Being able to further break the East/West barrier - Finding support, appreciation, accolades from the West - Improved PR skills - more visible, media accessable, socially confident Some notable musical trends: - Greater emphasis on hip hop, synth rhythms - Greater emphasis on complex Western Classical structures and symphonic arrangements in his compositions - Less emphasis over time on ethnic Indian instrumentation and percussion (largely due to type of film and less period scores) - Less emphasis on musical adventurism within compositions (less musical interludes, reduced complex musical structures overall within songs) - Improved melodic contours - If comparing to the late 1990s and early 2000s, I feel that his Tamil compostions from mid 2000s to now have RELATIVELY diminished in quality, although still worthy of ownership and appreciation. I predict that VTV will revive a lot of this and will be regarded eventually as one of his best works in Tamil. - If comparing to the late 1990s and early 2000s, I feel that his Hindi compositions took a RELATIVE dip in terms of quality in the mid 2000s overall, but recently revived from 2008-2009 with a huge exclamation point on the soundtrack of Delhi 6 - one of his best ever. 2010-2019 WHAT I MOST WANT ARR TO DO: - Resume Indian period film scores - a lot of his best work is from these type of scores (Iruvar, Zubeidaa, Lagaan, LOBS, Jodha Akbar) - Emphasize more Hindustani and Carnatic semi classical forms in his compositions with greater Indian ethnic scores (in line with period film score wishes) 2010-2019 WHERE I THINK ARR WILL GO - He will continue to make his mark in the West with some big name, high budget films that will catapult him to even greater heights. Expect him to eventually score for a film as big as Gladiator, Life is Beautiful, Forrest Gump, Titanic. The West will eventually further recognize him as one of the premier film composers of the world. With ARR's talent and creative boundlessness, the sky is the limit for him. - In India, he will continue to rake in awards, etc., but with reduced overall quantitative output in Hindi and Tamil, being more selective with his projects (right fit with directors, script, etc). There may be very long periods (a year or more) where we will not hear a a new ARR soundtrack from India, but when we do, we will be blown away.
[arr] Re: Star Screeen Awards 2010 Music Nominations
To me D6 is a sure win, no other album this year even came close to be compared with D6. Tum Mile to me is HIGHLY overrated. there was absolutely nothing new in it and apart from 2 songs the rest was plane average. it was typical Pritam album. similarly IMHO Kaminey was also below VB's standards, I consider it a mediocre album. The one album missing which I think was as deserving as D6 or Dev D is Gulaal. I hope Filmfare does not miss it. - Jahanzeb --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, vedavid manick vedavid_man...@... wrote: To me, its a tough call between all of them... i think the most deserving are Tum Mile, Delhi 6 and Kaminey.

Â Frankly I would not mind if anyt of these three win... the music was all good and all derserving. Â For Background score, I am convinced that there is none more deserving for Amit Trivedi.

Rahman’s first album after the Oscars, will be powered by DCI Mobile Studios (a division of Galatta.com). Sony Music India’s foray into the Tamil movie industry (Kollywood) has created many landmarks and milestones with some of the most successful and prestigious projects. And in yet another pioneering initiative, Sony Music India announced the global launch and world premiere of A.R. Rahman’s most-anticipated and awaited soundtrack from *Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa* – meaning ‘Will you cross the skies for me?’ – and abbreviated to *VTV*. What takes public anticipation to new heights is the fact that this is the first Tamil album from A.R. Rahman after his double Academy Award win and just before the Grammy Awards – scheduled for February 10. *VTV* stars Silambarasan (Simbhu) – touted as the next superstar in Kollywood – and beautiful Trisha Krishnan in the lead roles. The film is directed by Gautham Menon (whose previous Tamil film *Vaaranam Aayiram* was a critical, commercial and musical blockbuster with songs released by Sony Music). At the sneak music preview of *VTV* held in London on 19th December 2009, the entire cast and crew (including A.R. Rahman, Gautham Menon, Simbhu, Trisha and all the singers) were present. About this music preview, Gautham Menon said, “London was a great experience. We had a live unplugged performance of all the songs by the singers who have sung in the album. The audience, mostly English, loved the music. Everybody felt it sounded very international, which was hardly surprising, considering it was music by A.R. Rahman. The intention was to reach and test the music on an international audience. We achieved more than that. We plan to do a road show with all the singers now. This was a first of it's kind show. Now the expectation about the film is tremendous and the pressure is on me now.” The music of *VTV* will be released physically on CDs and cassettes across the world and via Amazon.com for online buyers. Digitally, *VTV* music will be available on iTunes, Nokia Store, and iPhone application from the first week of January. This unique activity for *VTV* will be executed through an iPhone music application (app) which will allow users to stream and listen to the complete songs, download the songs, wallpapers and other movie-related information. This initiative, a first-in-the-world for an iPhone application entirely based on movie OST by Sony Music, is the result of the joint efforts by Sony Music Entertainment India and DCI Mobile Studios, a leading Chennai-based software and mobile applications developer, a division of Galatta.com. The service will be available to all registered users of iPhone apps across the world. A user will be charged $1.99 for downloading the application, facilitating unlimited streaming of the songs from the album and $2.99 to download the whole album. Galatta.com has also taken steps to restrict unauthorized sharing of the content through this unique application. A user who downloads the songs on his iPhone or iPod will not be able to transfer it to any other (meaning unauthorized) device. Mr. Shridhar Subramaniam, Managing Director, Sony Music India, said, “Sony Music has always been at the forefront of redefining music marketing. This initiative, which is a first in India, will enable a savvy generation of smart phone users to access streamed audio feeds over an active data connection. Our efforts have always been to make the music reach its audience as, when, and how they want to enjoy it. We are quite certain that A.R. Rahman’s fans and lovers of his music will enjoy his genius through this application.” Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Girish Ramdas (President, Galatta.com) said, “At Galatta.com, we recognize that mobile applications are a very personal medium and should fulfill end-users’ desire to stream in personal choice of audio content wherever they are; the iPhone is an ideal vehicle for monetizing Sony’s content. This app will fulfill the dream of mobile subscribers for easy access to the highly-anticipated film’s songs and get to listen to the genius A.R. Rahman. The movie will be released in the second week of February 2010. http://tamil.galatta.com/entertainment/livewire/id/Vinnaithaandi_Varuvaaya_songs_on_iPhone_powered_by_DCI_Mobile_Studios_34073.html
[arr] Re: Blue Telugu
BTW, the mp3s of Blue Telugu on Amazon are in 320 kbps encoding and Apple's iTunes LP format is a step towards providing the same experience as accompanying album art with a CD through a digital and interactive medium. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Madhavan Rajan rsamadhu2...@... wrote: That's indeed shocking to hear! Thanks for the clarification, Gopal... It's sad that all the technology used in creating the song finally ends up as a cheap MP3!! Digital release is fine, but why not release it in both cd quality as well as mp3 quality? I still beleive if we take steps from now, we can stop this happening for future audio releases...In one interview, during the pen drive release of blue, AR was talking about distributing high quality 24 bit music etc...If that happens, all would be happy to buy digitally...I also believe that the webstore at arrahman.com should start selling digital music in Indian rupees...

The reason is definitely financial but it's financial feasibility and not financial challenges. The age of the CD is over. A market like India was never even there. The advent of unrestrained mp3 sharing on the internet and the rise of the CD as a medium coincided in India. Let me give you a statistic, shocking but true. How many CDs of Slumdog Millionaire do you think T-Series sold in India? All of 60,000. And T-Series printed Over 500,000 copies. For all the chest beating that we do on forums like this, the reality of the day is that nobody pays for music anymore. Who in his right mind would want to invest in manufacturing and distributing CDs upfront in such a market scenario? How many CDs of the Telugu dubbed version of a massive flop do you think will sell? 1000? Can you blame T-Series for not releasing the CD? Music labels make money only off mobile ringtones and ringback tones and TV and FM licensing in today's world. Whatever CDs they do release is purely promotional expenditure, it generates paltry, if any, income for them. There is minimal upfront cost in distributing mp3s through the likes of Amazon. That is the route any sensible business would take. I would be thankful that T-Series is at least progressive enough to provide us with that option rather than not release anything at all.

Can somebody please answer why many of Rahman music are not releasing on CD? There are has been several instances in last few months.. makes me feel there are financial problems (how can there be financial problems associated with Rahman's music and how can money get into the way of music?). I am extremely confused and very eager to know the reason.

I've personally discussed this with some music company executives, learn that the future will bring Create-Your-CD pattern. Something, that hamaracd is already doing. Don't expect each every title to release; the trends in markets have changed! Meanwhile, Sivaji the movie is releasing in Hindi on 8th of January.
