Hi all
This is one topic every member in this group should reply and share. Thanks to
Ajit for bringing up this topic.
There are two instances when i was completely bowled over by Rehman. It was not
in his early days. I have done most of my schooling in North India. I was
amazed by Roja, Kadhalan, Bombay and liked ARR very much. But In my heart i was
waiting for the first Hindi project of ARR. Yes.."Rangeela".
I clearly remembers. Those were my exam days and after the last exam, i was
very happy as everybody else. After School a friend of mine invited me to come
to his home for lunch as he stays near by the school.
I was sitting in the drawing room and he said that this new movie had come and
the songs are really good. I did not know that Rangeela music has released.
There was no day-to-day update of music releases and film releases things like
that back then..
He played the songs and I was speech less from the first song itself. First
come "Rangeela Re", Then Hai Rama, Then Yaroon sun lo Zara..Then Rangeela
Theme. Side B started with Kya karen ke na karen, Pyar Yeh jaane kaisa hai and
last Mangta Hai Kya" I was not believing what i am hearing. I still could not
express the feeling while hearing Mangta Hai Kya. If i am correct it was the
first song sung by ARR ? His voice, shweta shetty's voice, the music
arrangements.Whew !!
All my life i have heard hindi songs with Tabla, Harmonium, Jhankar beats and
this was totally out of this world. I heard the complete songs atleast 5 times
at my friends place and before reaching home i have bought the Cassette so that
my brother can also hear.
The other instance is of Chaiyya Chaiyya. I was in punjab and we dont have
access to cable. But in the stereo system we hear a program at 8:15 every
morning, playing 30 sec and me and my brother will wait every morning to hear
the songs from Dil se.
One more i would like to mention is AE's Jana Gana Mana..The beats of the song
is awseome. and i was stunned by the glass breaking effect at the start of the
song. I didn't liked the hindi version, mainly bcoz of the lyrics.
Guys though all the instance when hearing rehman new song is a new experience
altogether. we are really blessed to live in Rehmans Era.

hmmmm there are so many such instances but one of them stands out for me. I
dont know how many have noticed this part from 'yeh tara woh tara'. Its when
Udt is singing the line "jo kissan hal sambhale" ......he goes on to say 'sab
yeh roop hai mehenath ke , kuch karne ki chahath me, KOI bhi kisise yaha bair
nahi'. Notice KOI. Udit's voice actually breaks here, and ARR keeps it there to
add that awesome feel !!

I want to mention my experiences when I first heard these 3 songs. When I
first heard them, I am astonished how an musician from chennai can think about
these songs.It must be an alien inspiration to do these songs. And they had
never ever heard before sound, orchestra & vocal styles. I still can't
categorize these songs, whether they are filmy,raaga based,Indipop,
international Pop or whatever.... And the songs are...
1. Chiku buku raile (1994)
2. Humma Humma (1995)
3. Ae Udi Udi (2002)
Really, Rahman is born genius..
