Hmm, like u said, in the past ARR songs of the 90s it has something to with the high use of Synthesized instruments ( Not real but computer simulated) which was in digitally manipulated form, meaning u can raise and lower and tweak the sound attributes to our liking...and it will still sound clear and crisp...unlike Live real instruments which need expertise in playing them to get the desired effect...Its true in an interview that WHen ARR made ROJa, he had to use a high number of computer simulated sounds because the real ones were not available in India...And somehow ARR continued the trend throughout the 90s..maybe now he's expereimenting with the real ones....Since the listerners have got used to the computer simulated sound over the years...they could not pick up the new trend which ARR is experimenting with - Live real instruments SOmehow they fall short on the listener's ears...
