An industry that is already half-dead owing to its own blunders
doesn't have any right to think why it deserves to die. Ultimately,
this reminds me the 'time' when we had a 'warning' that certain music
will 'rise the dead to life'. But the time has changed!

--- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, ichord purev...@... wrote:

 Congrats ARR
 
 The article talks about AR's music from an intellectual perspective, which if 
 apt and very well written.  I also wish they could mention how his music 
 reaches people emotionally, spiritually.
 
 http://business.in.com/article/person-of-the-year-09/ebony-ivory/8662/0
 
 I esp. like these 2 paragraphs:
 
 What Rahman had was an array of millions of tones. What he produced was 
 limited by only his imagination and that was incredibly vast. Does that sound 
 easy? Imagine you had a book of the most elegant words and phrases. What 
 would it take for you to produce a Shakespeare? You would need an 
 extraordinary flair for creating great sentences and ability to arrange them 
 in the right order. Musically, that's what Rahman has. In copious quantity.
 
 His acutely sensitive ears are able to arrange his array of tones into 
 winsome tunes that are intricately layered. A snatch of melody can be 
 accompanied by sounds of birds, waves of ocean or an electronic distortion 
 being played simultaneously. What's more, in case a piece of music appears 
 off-key, the pitch correction software may be used to make it sound pitch 
 perfect. What Rahman wants is the best sound for the listener. His ears are 
 so sensitive that they can pick even micro-tonal (extremely subtle changes in 
 pitch) variations. So when Rahman delivers a tune it sounds unique and 
 absolutely polished, says Selvakumar.

[arr] THE BIRTH OF A WHITE FLOWER

2010-01-08 Thread A.R.Rajib
THE BIRTH OF A WHITE FLOWER*By Behindwoods Visitor Ram Anand (Malaysia)**The
views expressed in this column are that of the visitor. Behindwoods.com
doesn't hold responsible for its content.*
Some 18 years ago, singer Unni Menon was given a call way past midnight,
awoken in his slumber, and was told that accomplished director Mani Ratnam
is recording songs for his new film and Menon’s voice was required for one
of those numbers. Who works at this hour, Menon asked himself. But due to
the fact that the name involved was called Mani Ratnam, Menon freshened
himself up and rushed up to the mentioned recording studio, where he saw a
young composer calling the shots.

Mani Ratnam, who so often works with Maestro Ilayaraja, has discovered a new
talent to associate with in the music department. Menon wondered
continuously if this young guy- whose name is AR Rahman, could really live
up to the humongous expectations of having to compose for a Mani Ratnam
film. He was given the song lyrics, the tunes were discussed, and on the wee
hours of that one day back in 1992, Menon recorded a song called ‘Pudhu
Vellai Mazhai’ (A new white rain), and went back home, back to his slumber.
The doubts that he had before recording the song existed even after that- he
didn’t think he had sung the catchiest of tunes. Little did he know, that
when he went to sleep that day, just like lyrics of the song proclaims, he
has witnessed a new white rain, that will reign the Indian music arena over
the following two decades. All the uncertainties over the song that he had
sung vanished into thin air as he listened to the final version of the song
one day- and as he listened, he realized that this song is not catchy, but
instead it makes the hair on the back of one’s neck stand up and applaud.

That AR Rahman back then was 26 years old. Today, as
[image: AR Rahman]
he turns 44, that white rain has poured down not only in Tamil Nadu, but up
until on Hollywood’s most famous stage- the Oscar stage. Rahman was the very
first composer in Indian cinema history to win a National Award for his very
first film, an award that he would go on to claim two more times. An
honorary doctorate and a Padmashri, India’s fourth highest civilian honor,
are just a little peek into a mass collection of awards and applauds that
this modest, humble, soft-spoken name with an ever present smile on his face
has achieved in his career. That innocent smile never waned even as he stood
next and around the best luminaries of Hollywood while collecting his piece
of the biggest cinema cherry in the world, nor did it wane as he stood
flanked by beautiful girls in Akon’s Beautiful Girls music video.

What is so special about his music, some may ask. Who introduced Hariharan
and Shankar Mahadevan, two of the most famous, most accomplished male
singers in the industry today? Who made Hariharan sing ‘Thamizha Thamizha’
with such sensitivity? Who is it that managed to evoke the atmosphere of an
unborn child who is going to be born into a world of chaos and uncertainty
through Vellai Pookal? Who is it that managed to re-create a 50s and 60s
atmosphere without sounding like direct throwback in Iruvar? Who is it that
re-composed India’s national anthem with such passion and ferocity? Who is
it that made the whole nation re-kindle a long-buried Vande Matharam? AR
Rahman is not only a good composer, he is a symbol- a symbol of a nation
struggling to unleash itself from the strangling, rusting ropes of past
differences and attempting to move forward as one, as one whole country. He
is a symbol of passion, of the ultimate craftsmanship an artist could ever
express with his own work. Above all, he is the perfect symbol of an artist,
a celebrity. A man who has the talent to put the world at his awe, but has
the humility to not take all the credit for his achievements. A man who has
the calmness to rise above petty differences and embrace goodwill as his
nature, and has that smile that shows, without having to tell, that he loves
what he is doing, that we love what he is doing, and God loves what he is
doing.

Ever lost hope? Ever lost faith in goodness? Ever lost faith in the beauty
of life? Ever lost faith in the impact of talent and artistry? Look up to AR
Rahman.

Today as this man turns forty-four, there is no gift that we could possibly
give him that would override 18 years of him showering us with gifts of
music. But what we could do is to forget that he is forty-four, and make him
immortal along with his music.

Many more happy returns of the day.

For,

AR Rahman- You are the rare white flower (Vellai Poo) that tomorrow needs.
May there be more white flowers like you to come in this world.

By,
Ram Anand (Malaysia)

 Honestly, but this is just my opinion... i hae no problems with the High

 Â 
 Planet Bollywood i have found to be genuine in their assessment of music 
 coming form the Hindi industry.
 Â 
 I can understand Dev D and What's Your Raashee being higher than Delhi 6 on 
 the grounds that to the general public...there where little expectations. 
 ..the music is by newcomers and so blew everyone away. Rahman has already 
 made his mark and expectations are always going to be high...and sometimes a 
 bit diffucult to meet as Blue was. 
 Â 
 I expected good music from both new individuals Amit Trivedi (who was 
 excellent in his first piece Aamir) and Sohail Sen who did a good song in his 
 first venture Sirf.
 Â 
 As a fan of music, all of these albums would be dear to me and I would not 
 rnk one higher over the other...Hence I am not bothered t the end of the day 
 music won. More than a fan of Rahman, I am a fan of Good music and it was 
 being a fan of good music that made me a fan of Rahman.

 That is me... everyone is entitled to their own views.

 Surely he would have placed Delhi-6 on number 1. 
 I liked both Dev D and Raashee music, in personal ranking I would place them 
 below D6 and above Blue (from 2009 music). I am predicting Amit Trivedi will 
 win RD Burman award of upcoming music talent (for Dev D) this year.. and 
 hoping Rahman will win best music for D6.
 
 @ ichord - Interestingly you didnt say anything about Blue (placed on # 13) 
 because if I recall you just loved that album.

  He criticizes D6, saying that besides the 4 biggies, the other songs are

  My friend, did you forget the rage of Genda Phool? People love that song, 
  even voting it as the best in some online rankings! As far as I remember, 
  people loved the D6 title song too.

2010-01-08 Thread Dinesh Scaran
Excellent write up!!! I loved every single line of it...

--- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, A.R.Rajib a.r.ra...@... wrote:

 THE BIRTH OF A WHITE FLOWER*By Behindwoods Visitor Ram Anand (Malaysia)**The
 views expressed in this column are that of the visitor. Behindwoods.com
 doesn't hold responsible for its content.*
 Some 18 years ago, singer Unni Menon was given a call way past midnight,
 awoken in his slumber, and was told that accomplished director Mani Ratnam
 is recording songs for his new film and Menon's voice was required for one
 of those numbers. Who works at this hour, Menon asked himself. But due to
 the fact that the name involved was called Mani Ratnam, Menon freshened
 himself up and rushed up to the mentioned recording studio, where he saw a
 young composer calling the shots.
 
 Mani Ratnam, who so often works with Maestro Ilayaraja, has discovered a new
 talent to associate with in the music department. Menon wondered
 continuously if this young guy- whose name is AR Rahman, could really live
 up to the humongous expectations of having to compose for a Mani Ratnam
 film. He was given the song lyrics, the tunes were discussed, and on the wee
 hours of that one day back in 1992, Menon recorded a song called `Pudhu
 Vellai Mazhai' (A new white rain), and went back home, back to his slumber.
 The doubts that he had before recording the song existed even after that- he
 didn't think he had sung the catchiest of tunes. Little did he know, that
 when he went to sleep that day, just like lyrics of the song proclaims, he
 has witnessed a new white rain, that will reign the Indian music arena over
 the following two decades. All the uncertainties over the song that he had
 sung vanished into thin air as he listened to the final version of the song
 one day- and as he listened, he realized that this song is not catchy, but
 instead it makes the hair on the back of one's neck stand up and applaud.
 
 That AR Rahman back then was 26 years old. Today, as
 [image: AR Rahman]
 he turns 44, that white rain has poured down not only in Tamil Nadu, but up
 until on Hollywood's most famous stage- the Oscar stage. Rahman was the very
 first composer in Indian cinema history to win a National Award for his very
 first film, an award that he would go on to claim two more times. An
 honorary doctorate and a Padmashri, India's fourth highest civilian honor,
 are just a little peek into a mass collection of awards and applauds that
 this modest, humble, soft-spoken name with an ever present smile on his face
 has achieved in his career. That innocent smile never waned even as he stood
 next and around the best luminaries of Hollywood while collecting his piece
 of the biggest cinema cherry in the world, nor did it wane as he stood
 flanked by beautiful girls in Akon's Beautiful Girls music video.
 
 What is so special about his music, some may ask. Who introduced Hariharan
 and Shankar Mahadevan, two of the most famous, most accomplished male
 singers in the industry today? Who made Hariharan sing `Thamizha Thamizha'
 with such sensitivity? Who is it that managed to evoke the atmosphere of an
 unborn child who is going to be born into a world of chaos and uncertainty
 through Vellai Pookal? Who is it that managed to re-create a 50s and 60s
 atmosphere without sounding like direct throwback in Iruvar? Who is it that
 re-composed India's national anthem with such passion and ferocity? Who is
 it that made the whole nation re-kindle a long-buried Vande Matharam? AR
 Rahman is not only a good composer, he is a symbol- a symbol of a nation
 struggling to unleash itself from the strangling, rusting ropes of past
 differences and attempting to move forward as one, as one whole country. He
 is a symbol of passion, of the ultimate craftsmanship an artist could ever
 express with his own work. Above all, he is the perfect symbol of an artist,
 a celebrity. A man who has the talent to put the world at his awe, but has
 the humility to not take all the credit for his achievements. A man who has
 the calmness to rise above petty differences and embrace goodwill as his
 nature, and has that smile that shows, without having to tell, that he loves
 what he is doing, that we love what he is doing, and God loves what he is
 doing.
 
 Ever lost hope? Ever lost faith in goodness? Ever lost faith in the beauty
 of life? Ever lost faith in the impact of talent and artistry? Look up to AR
 Rahman.
 
 Today as this man turns forty-four, there is no gift that we could possibly
 give him that would override 18 years of him showering us with gifts of
 music. But what we could do is to forget that he is forty-four, and make him
 immortal along with his music.
 
 Many more happy returns of the day.
 
 For,
 
 AR Rahman- You are the rare white flower (Vellai Poo) that tomorrow needs.
 May there be more white flowers like you to come in this world.
 
 By,
 Ram Anand (Malaysia)

[arr] Sivaji - The Boss, in Hindi

2010-01-08 Thread Vithur
When Superstar Rajnikanth, music director A R Rahman and ace director
Shankar team up – its bound to create ripples. The music of Sivaji – The
Boss - one of the highest selling Tamil albums of 2007, is no exception to
this. The soundtrack, which sold over 2,000,000 copies in Tamil Nadu alone,
is being released in Hindi by Sony Music.

Composed by double Academy Award Winner and Grammy Nominee A R Rahman, the
Hindi soundtrack hits the music stores in Jan 2010. The album features songs
by leading singers like Udit Narayan, Hariharan, Javed Ali and A R Rahman
himself.

Shridhar Subramaniam, MD, Sony Music, said, “The A R Rahman - Shankar
combination has given several blockbusters through the years, which have
been nationally and internationally acclaimed. When you add Rajnikanth’s
legendary star power to this, the result is phenomenal. The music of Sivaji
is very unique and was a massive hit in Tamil. We feel this music will
appeal to fans of this brand of cinema and music all over the world.

Sony Music is distributing the Hindi OST of Sivaji – The Boss across the
globe, and expect it to work wonders in UK, USA and Middle East – where A R
Rahman has a huge fan following. Sony Music has made the album all the more
attractive by adding some bonus A R Rahman hits from blockbusters like
Lagaan, Rang De Basanti and Guru amongst others. Sony are also distributing
the much anticipated Tamil soundtrack, Vinnaithaandi varuvaaya, also by AR
Rahman, out soon.

Sivaji – The Boss was one of the biggest blockbusters of 2007. Made on a
budget of Rs. 600 million, the movie went to gross a massive Rs. 4500
million. This was Superstar Rajnikanth’s 100th Tamil movie. In UK, it
debuted at No. 9 on the UK Top 10, making it the first Tamil movie ever to
break into the UK top 10.

[arr] Sivaji The Boss - Suraj Hai Chanda Hai Lyrics

2010-01-08 Thread Rivjot
Balleilakka in Hindi - Suraj Hai Chanda Hai; Lyrics are extremely funny, 
everytime I listen to it, cant stop laughing lol 

Hamein Gaye Bailon Se Bhi Itna Pyaar Hai, Soche Ke Rashan Card Mein Shamil Kar 
Lein Inko
Paas Ke Padosi Ko Khaana Bhi Khila De, Aisa Pyaar Iska
Apni Saras Kheti, Chikni Chikni Kaali Raati

Style  The Boss lyrics were pretty much the same - because of use of English. 
I am disappointed with the lyrics of Waahji Waahji but like the lyrics of 
Aandhi Ki Tarah. Out of all the lyrics, Suhana Sama lyrics are most impressive. 

I know it happens in Shankar's movies quite often (people found Humse Hai 
Muqabla, Hindustani lyrics quite odd). Just wondering, whether Tamil lyrics of 
Sivaji (especially Balleilakka) were also strange  funny? Asking because I 
dont understand Tamil.

[arr] VTV will be a monumental landmark ARR album

2010-01-08 Thread ichord
I've made reference to this before, but a very special album by ARR is about to 
be unveiled and this is a very exciting time.  The positive vibes I'm getting 
are extremely, extremely strong.  Got a feeling ARR really put his heart and 
soul into this one and it's going to show, big time.  If Hosana is anything to 
go by, expect showers of praises from all over India and all over the world, 
not just down South. Show off this landmark album to your non ARR friends, and 
this album, if it's as good as I'm predicting it to be, will need to be 
recognized by those in the West too.possibly being Grammy worthy.  VTV will 
surely find a cozy place amongst the greats like KK, AP, KKS, KM, Iruvar, 
Thiruda, Bombay, Roja.  

Enjoy the coming days, fellow ARR fans.  I am predicting that there won't be a 
single person from this group who will express disappointment when this album 
comes out.  Again, I could be wrong, but just my prediction.  The same thing 
happened with D6everyone, and I mean everyone here was all praise.  

With VTV, I predict that ARR will take other composers in India to school.  
Watch and wait.

that would take the album to a new high - 

Mannipaaya
Aaromale
Vinnathaandi Varuvaayaa [I think the structure of the song is similar to a Pink

On the contrary, Vaaji in Tamil had great lyrics, and Athiradee had a playful 
and funny lyrics. Sahana had extremely beautiful lyrics too. Thanks to 
Vairamuthu (who wrote both Vaaji and Sahana lyrics).

The lyrics of Balleleika in Tamil was typically a Rajini intro lyrics. He needs 
to be praised, thus it is said  Suriyano, Chandirano Yaarivano, Sattene 
solle. The rest he was praising the greatness of Tamil soil and its culture. 
About the hot idli and such. Im not sure whether it was directly translated 
like that to Hindi, but for the Tamil audiences, it surely made us realize 
those greatness of Tamil culture and habits tru the lyrics in this song.

[arr] Vinnaithandi Varuvaya songs to be in music stores

2010-01-08 Thread Vithur
At last there is good news for Tamil music lovers. Post
*Sakkarakatti,*there hasn’t been any Tamil releases from A R Rahman as
he got occupied with
more Hollywood and Bollywood projects.



A R Rahman http://www.planetradiocity.com/rahman/rahman.html has scored
music in *Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya* whose music album will be available in the
market stores from 12 January, 2010.

Although the film’s audio was launched in London, however, the filmmaker
Gowtham Menon had planned to host a special audio launch for cennaites on
January 12. But now we hear that the songs of *Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya *would
be directly hitting audio stores on the occasion of Pongal.

Thamarai has penned lyrics for all the seven tracks while Kaithapram and
Kalyani Menon have taken care of Malayalam lines in ‘Omana Penne’ and
‘Aaoromale’. A R Rahman himself has crooned the song ‘Mannipaaya’ (which
means– will you forgive me?) along with Shreya Ghosal.

Re: [arr] VTV will be a monumental landmark ARR album

You are absolutely right..

 I've made reference to this before, but a very special album by ARR is
 about to be unveiled and this is a very exciting time. The positive vibes
 I'm getting are extremely, extremely strong. Got a feeling ARR really put
 his heart and soul into this one and it's going to show, big time. If Hosana
 is anything to go by, expect showers of praises from all over India and all
 over the world, not just down South. Show off this landmark album to your
 non ARR friends, and this album, if it's as good as I'm predicting it to be,
 will need to be recognized by those in the West too.possibly being
 Grammy worthy. VTV will surely find a cozy place amongst the greats like KK,
 AP, KKS, KM, Iruvar, Thiruda, Bombay, Roja.

 Enjoy the coming days, fellow ARR fans. I am predicting that there won't be
 a single person from this group who will express disappointment when this
 album comes out. Again, I could be wrong, but just my prediction. The same
 thing happened with D6everyone, and I mean everyone here was all praise.


 With VTV, I predict that ARR will take other composers in India to school.
 Watch and wait.

 THE BIRTH OF A WHITE FLOWER*By Behindwoods Visitor Ram Anand (Malaysia)** The
 views expressed in this column are that of the visitor. Behindwoods. com

 Some 18 years ago, singer Unni Menon was given a call way past midnight,
 awoken in his slumber, and was told that accomplished director Mani Ratnam
 is recording songs for his new film and Menon's voice was required for one
 of those numbers. Who works at this hour, Menon asked himself. But due to
 the fact that the name involved was called Mani Ratnam, Menon freshened
 himself up and rushed up to the mentioned recording studio, where he saw a
 young composer calling the shots.
 
 Mani Ratnam, who so often works with Maestro Ilayaraja, has discovered a new
 talent to associate with in the music department. Menon wondered
 continuously if this young guy- whose name is AR Rahman, could really live
 up to the humongous expectations of having to compose for a Mani Ratnam
 film. He was given the song lyrics, the tunes were discussed, and on the wee
 hours of that one day back in 1992, Menon recorded a song called `Pudhu
 Vellai Mazhai' (A new white rain), and went back home, back to his slumber.
 The doubts that he had before recording the song existed even after that- he
 didn't think he had sung the catchiest of tunes. Little did he know, that
 when he went to sleep that day, just like lyrics of the song proclaims, he
 has witnessed a new white rain, that will reign the Indian music arena over
 the following two decades. All the uncertainties over the song that he had
 sung vanished into thin air as he listened to the final version of the song
 one day- and as he listened, he realized that this song is not catchy, but
 instead it makes the hair on the back of one's neck stand up and applaud.
 
 That AR Rahman back then was 26 years old. Today, as
 [image: AR Rahman]
 he turns 44, that white rain has poured down not only in Tamil Nadu, but up
 until on Hollywood's most famous stage- the Oscar stage. Rahman was the very
 first composer in Indian cinema history to win a National Award for his very
 first film, an award that he would go on to claim two more times. An
 honorary doctorate and a Padmashri, India's fourth highest civilian honor,
 are just a little peek into a mass collection of awards and applauds that
 this modest, humble, soft-spoken name with an ever present smile on his face
 has achieved in his career. That innocent smile never waned even as he stood
 next and around the best luminaries of Hollywood while collecting his piece
 of the biggest cinema cherry in the world, nor did it wane as he stood
 flanked by beautiful girls in Akon's Beautiful Girls music video.
 
 What is so special about his music, some may ask. Who introduced Hariharan
 and Shankar Mahadevan, two of the most famous, most accomplished male
 singers in the industry today? Who made Hariharan sing `Thamizha Thamizha'
 with such sensitivity? Who is it that managed to evoke the atmosphere of an
 unborn child who is going to be born into a world of chaos and uncertainty
 through Vellai Pookal? Who is it that managed to re-create a 50s and 60s
 atmosphere without sounding like direct throwback in Iruvar? Who is it that
 re-composed India's national anthem with such passion and ferocity? Who is
 it that made the whole nation re-kindle a long-buried Vande Matharam? AR
 Rahman is not only a good composer, he is a symbol- a symbol of a nation
 struggling to unleash itself from the strangling, rusting ropes of past
 differences and attempting to move forward as one, as one whole country. He
 is a symbol of passion, of the ultimate craftsmanship an artist could ever
 express with his own work. Above all, he is the perfect symbol of an artist,
 a celebrity. A man who has the talent to put the world at his awe, but has
 the humility to not take all the credit for his achievements. A man who has
 the calmness to rise above petty differences and embrace goodwill as his
 nature, and has that smile that shows, without having to tell, that he loves
 what he is doing, that we love what he is doing, and God loves what he is
 doing.
 
 Ever lost hope? Ever lost faith in goodness? Ever lost faith in the beauty
 of life? Ever lost faith in the impact of talent and artistry? Look up to AR
 Rahman.
 
 Today as this man turns forty-four, there is no gift that we could possibly
 give him that would override 18 years of him showering us with gifts of
 music. But what we could do is to forget that he is forty-four, and make him
 

Re: [arr] i m verry happy with VTV and ar rahman

2010-01-08 Thread shai
heard all the preview songs...verry vry happy bcoz i expect rahman to give 
something very different and not just like club beat music used by HJ during 
his time with gowtham...
 
this is wat actually things to expect from oscar winner...ANBIL AVAN is my fav. 
first time hearing: techno+nathaswaram music=out of the world for me

very happy very different.this is rahman getting paid to give something 
different not the same old story music just like some composer out there
 
just my views not criticizing HJ though

Sounds like a lot of soul in this album, which is what I expected! Hard to 
judge just from clips, but so far it definitely confirms my confidence about 
this soundtrack's exquusiteness! ARR definitely testing newer waters here, 
expanding his range!

[arr] Aaromale The Band Avial ?

2010-01-08 Thread Farzad Khaleel
Am not sure whether I am early to evaluate, but ARR being a big fan of the
rock band Avial, Aaromale also seems to have the same vibe like that of
Avial. Song must be a cool one :)
