Guys, I have always been a silent reader of these emails between us, fans. This time, I couldnt help but open up with what I feel should be conveyed to all.
Maybe the subject line mentioned "Endhiran for kids only" is not appropriate, but I will definitely agree with what Taimur has mentioned. DEFINITELY the soul and the heavenly feel of Rahman sir's tunes are missing...ITS JUST NOT THERE..no matter how much melo and soul you try to seek out of this album, you just cant get it..and dont tell me Robotic sounds, tunes and comps dont have soul or melo. Again, if we are talking about song arrangement and production I would say they are as usual, SUPERB. But yes the style of beats, percussion and arrangements are used were very much prevalent in the past, not now. Only Kadhal ANukkal and Chitti Dance showcase, according to me, conveys his legacy in the album. AND ONE MORE THING, Irumbile Oru Idhaiyam-- what was this song?? I cant imagine Rahman sir himself has sung this song with that K and K. I dont even feel worth mentioning their name here. Normally the songs which he himself sings always remain a masterpiece, be it Vellai Pookkal or Athiradee , or any of his self-sung songs. But this song I guess will be the last in that list. And last but not the least, Rahman sir is a composer who would not bend his music writing style at the behest of a Shankar or a Mani Ratnam or a Shyam Benegal. He can tweak a little bit. Overall I feel, what Sukhi has said might be causing this..."Virus in his hermitage" which might be distracting him or interfering in his heavenly work with his brilliant musical team. We should also not forget this year we have got heavenly albums in the form of VTV and CR. --- On Wed, 4/8/10, ravi <[email protected]> wrote: From: ravi <[email protected]> Subject: [arr] Re: Endhiran for kids only To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 4 August, 2010, 11:22 PM A nice piece of advice from the senior.
