Hi,
After 10 listens, with clear audio system and in head phones, I dont want to
actually rate on the actual album. But some of my obervations are:
1) all the songs are technically audio-wise engineered to a great extent as
never before done effect
2) so much of soundscaping is there on every song. Particularly On fiqrana and
aj dil way too many instruments are sounds crossing each other that I cant even
keep track of the layers.
3)ARR made a very consious effort to sound very very international. The operas'
the hummings / effects. everything.
4) I think its very hard to notice all the layers just in speakers without
headphones. May be in theater it can to some extent, but definitely not the
hidden pieces.
5) I tried once to listen purposely on laptop speakers and 90% of the sound
went unnoticed.
6) are there also audio cassettes out ? I cant imagine a way to incorporate
these sounds in magnetic tape !
7) am damn sure the singers will have no way to work out how the song would
come out. That's always been the case with every ARR release but with starting
of albums post-Oscar they will even be more curious !
sink in BLUE !!!
