Packaged album for 1 to 4 & in that criteria 5 & 6 also suit SET ME FREE &
DEEN ISAI MALAI......... I believe tyrant refer to his unusual working hours
at night at d cost of normal sleeping time which is considered to be d
healthiest in a day by doctors term. Bcos most of the musicians do not prefer
night shifts like other private services when there is no need for musicians to
work that way. On this note, he made it into habit for himself & expect others
(his technicians & assistants who might not prefer such timings but as they do
not want to lose such opportunity to work with him) and go by that way. Though
singers knew rehmans talent there are always limits & preferences for
themselves when considering time issues. I believe singers compromise to such
difficulties just for rehmans talent & popularity. Otherwise he is tyrant
towards producing different sounds & ideas in music ;-)
