[arr] Salim-Sulaiman on ARR's background score in the latest AV Max

[bpr_arr]

Hi all,   Got a copy of AV Max today. There was an interesting interview with Salim - Sulaiman. They were asked to comment on some of the Music Directors who did Back Ground Scores. I am typing as it is from the magazine.   A R Rahman :-         "He is the best! We love his approach to sound. He is very complete in terms of a musician. His music really touches you. His minimalist approach is what we love. We liked the background score of 'Bombay','Yuva','Swades' and 'Roja' which was fabulous".     Sandeep Chowta :-         "Sandeep Chowta uses sample sounds most of the time or his themes are copied. The friendship theme from 'Satya' is copied from 'Once upon a time in America'. We were part of the score; playing keyboards".     Vishal Bhardwaj :-         "Very good stuff, but I hear his arranger Hitesh Sonik is responsible for his sound. But Vishal is very good; no doubt, he has a very different taste in music".     Viju Shah :-         "No taste, never felt anything for his score".     R D Burman :-         "Quite overrated. Nice ideas, but most of it were borrowed. He is a fantastic songwriter, path breaking musician, but for background music.... I am sorry".            Laxmikant Pyarelal :-         "Their scores were good but were over produced. For playing a simple piece, why should it be LOUD? Just by making it loud, it does not sound "WOW" - why do you need 75 violins? ".     Illayraja :-         " He is the guy who we all need to bow down to; he is the best for background score. We had gone for the recording of 'Shiva' - he is a genius, his classical sense is very powerful ".     Thats it guys.   The article also mentions that these two have also worked with ARR. Any idea which movie ?.   But some how I dont like their attitude of commenting on others. Anu Malik in the making ? :).   Thanks Raghu     Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic. Only at arrahmanfans - The definitive A.R.Rahman e-community.
