Hello - Happy New Year to you all and happy birthday to A.R. Rahman!
I've been lurking on the list for a while now, and my new year's resolution is to try to stay current with all of the (many!) messages on the list. I have admired the music of A.R. Rahman ever since hearing the album /Vande Mataram/ in 1997. In 2007 I had the pleasure of seeing him live at the Sears Centre near Chicago and it was a truly amazing show. Until now I have not been a regular viewer of Indian cinema - though I love the work of Satyajit Ray - but after seeing /Slumdog Millionaire /I've decided to explore Rahman's soundtrack work in much more depth. I would like to become much more knowledgeable about ARR's soundtracks (and their films) as they are released and not just his artist albums and greatest hits. I am wondering if someone could recommend the best places to shop online for mail order delivery in the United States. As I am based in Chicago, I would love to know about any local retailers in the area as well. I apologize if this topic has been discussed numerous times - I tried to do some searches in the group archives but didn't see much. Thank you in advance! paul -- *Paul Audino // Since 1977 // www.paul-audino.com*
