Surprising - A discussion about the sound quality of this album, turned into a music review ??? Guess some people don't seem to understand the difference between the 2 ?! The music may have intricate layering & complicate complex chord progressions etc etc ... , whatever be the case, the final sound quality of this album is *mediocre*. What matters is what the end-user gets to hear .. It may be the music company or it may be the studio master at fault - whoever it may be, things HAS to be set right at some point. If not now, it may be too late.
ARR revolutionised sound of Indian music, but as of today, others are way ahead of him in terms of *"SOUND QUALITY" (Mind you, I am NOT talking about the music. ARR stands way ahead of others with respect to music & the sounds used (again, not the sound quality). * I am willing to explain it again, if people dont understand.
