When asked about Water and the fact that he had given it a 10/10, ARR had said in a recent interview that "10/10 was THEN". So I wasn't expecting ARR's best score when I slipped the CD into the player. Seconds later, what I heard was absolutely overwhelming. Listening to "Chan Chan (Aayo re)" takes you through so many emotions and experiences. The notes played on the santoor when Sukhwinder sings the first line is pure ecstasy. Listen to the strings from 02:25 - 02:40 when Sukhwinder sings "Koyal bhi kuhu kuhu gaane lagi"! And with the backing from 03:56 - 05:00, ARR once again proves that he is the absolute master of strings and chords!
I had bought the Salaam Bombay Dreams DVD too along with Water from Amazon and it has many clips of ARR working with his strings musicians. Its really amazing to see how he improvises on the fly. Now I can visualize all the string parts heard in Water! Like Gopal said, this album is more than 10/10. Its not just a gem - how does one describe it....??
Thanks ARR...
