"Passage" is simply Brilliant ! No two issues about that. This is the music I associate ARR with and this kind of music is something very close to his heart too, I now know that for sure........
If you have liked CONNECTIONS, then this album is for you. No hurrying with the music arrangement anywhere... the music just flows..... soft, soothing yet at the same time with a certain and recognizable hint of melancholy........ Certainly ARR has touched symphony and western classical genre in the past but this album is out and out western classical....... but at the same time has a distinct touch of Indian classical. Mark my words......ARR's entry into the western world of music post Bombay Dreams and now the Oscars, is certainly going to be an exciting period because here is a person who has a huge and successful body of work with him (from his Indian roots) and who is extremely at ease with the western sound. The "CONNECTION" of Indian classical and Western classical through ARR is going to be the thing to watch now...... ARR ! I think I can see you holding another "OSCAR" .....
