[arr] Re: Music would be by A. R. Rahman - Gowtham Menon

[Tapey3]

I'm not a fan of Gautam's films, but Harris has probably produced his
best songs with him.  I hope that ARR-Gautam will be a fruitful combo.
 Gautam generally does one or two films a year.

ARR used Lucky Ali in Hey Khuda Hafiz (Yuva) and Sa Re Ga Me (Boys).

He's used KK a few times.

I don't know if he's actively avoiding these singers, though didn't
Abhijeet and Kumar Sanu say some anti-ARR sentiments?

[Tapey3]

IMO One 2 Ka Four Sounds anemic.

Unfortunately I think some companies are now dynamically compressing
ARR's music.  That means lowering the volume of the peaks so that the
volume of the whole track can be raised.  This is not a good thing. 
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and Ada sounded too compressed.  And comparing
original Pyramid CDs to the Saregama reissues shows that Saregama is
dynamically compressing the albums to a certain extent.

Re: [arr] Other than JTJYN, which movies of ARR had song(s) added/ deleted after release?

[Tapey3]

Kumbakonam from Aa Aah was not in the film initially.  I think it was
added later.

Re: [arr] MARDANI - Sakkarakatti

[Tapey3]

Marudhani is a good song except for Madhushree.  I don't know  why ARR
likes her so much.  Good voice but surely there are plenty of good
singers with good voices who have halfway decent Tamil diction.  Voice
is the anchor of any song and it is a shame to use singers who can't
sing properly.

[arr] Re: Sakkarakatti Track listing

[Tapey3]

We are disappointed because many of us at this Yahoo group listen to
whatever ARR releases in any language.  I hope that ARR has indeed
modified the songs dramatically, as he did with Dekho Na from Swades.
 Plus, the original songs are already fantastic and do not need
improvement.

Gopal, can you expound on the "emotionally blackmailed" part?  I hope
it is not true!  Nobody should be treated in such a manner, and how
can ARR give his best music if he is under duress?

[arr] Re: ARR"s focus on solo instruments

[Tapey3]

Ilayaraja too has done some fantastic acoustic guitar and violin
solos.  Every composer has used solos in different ways.

I particularly like ARR's use of the lower notes in the flute. 
Sridhar once said in an interview that ARR will sometimes try to get
just the breath/wind sound of a flute.  ARR is probably not the first
to use the flute like this, but for me it is the most distinctive.

Adam Rapa's trumpet parts in Tu Bole Main Boloon are excellent.  That
loose, jazzy sound, is something new for Indian music, I think.

[arr] Re: JTJYN CD- An interesting observation & Musicyogi pricing blunder!!

[Tapey3]

Here is some info on TPPL:

http://www.bollyvista.com/article/a/84/3053

Now that they have been officially declared as the No 1 music company,
they feel that it is their duty and firm responsibility to fight every
unethical step taken. Thus they have started with the TPPL (T-SERIES
public performance license) according to which they will not spare
anyone caught blatantly infringing their exclusive copyrights. "If a
person buys a music cassette or a CD it is meant purely for personal
use only. To be used either in their homes or in their car but
definitely not for commercial use in which case they have to obtain a
TPPL and that they would not certainly spare anyone who blatantly
infringed of our exclusive copyrights", says the vice president of
T-Series and the pioneer of TPPL Mr. M.M. Satish. He adds that be it
hotels, restaurants, discotheques, ladies bar, latest craze for ring
tones and for that matter even the award functions that happen every
now and then, they will make sure that the respective authorities
secure the license prior to using the music. They argue that they have
to pay exorbitant amounts for the exclusive rights and hence it is
significant that they collect fees. Mr. Satish, a man of ethics and
principles, strongly desires to put across to people the sole
objective of TPPL and is confident that through his dedication,
determination and immense public's support he will make it one day.

Re:[arr] ARR Come Back Plea (tapey thappu)

[Tapey3]

I don't think its that he doesn't want to give good music to Tamil
films.  Its that there are only so many times one can give music to
the same old films with nothing to be inspired by.  Why ARR did ATM, I
don't know.  Maybe he wanted to do a film with a mass hero.  Maybe it
started out as an interesting film when he signed it but it turned
into a Vijay film.  I was surprised that ARR agreed to do a Vijay film
after Udhaya.

Re: [arr] ARR Come Back Plea

[Tapey3]

I don't see why we can't do regional comparisons.  ARR is an artist
who is very popular and acclaimed in both regions, and there are
differences between Hindi and Tamil cinema industries.  Both cinemas
have their good points and their bad points.

I'm not saying ARR's track record in Hindi is perfect either.  For a
while he was doing a lot of period films.

At the very least, these days, Hindi filmmakers are a little more
willing to stretch boundaries, even if they don't always succeed.  I
see the articles and promos for upcoming Tamil films and there's
nothing different.  Maybe the cinematography and editing are flashier,
but the stories are the same.

Re: [arr] ARR Come Back Plea

[Tapey3]

I almost wish he'd do fewer Tamil films.  Tamil filmmakers are not
making interesting films.  Same old masalas and romances.  Hindi
cinema is not perfect, but at least they try different kind of things.
 Besides Shankar and Mani Ratnam, who in Tamil cinema brings out the
best in ARR?  And who knows when Mani Ratnam will make another Tamil film.

Re: [arr] Can T-series do justice to ARR's JTYJN??

[Tapey3]

Whoever releases the audio it is always the same people working on the
mixing and mastering (H. Sridhar, Aditya Modi, KJ Singh, maybe a few
others).  I think the unclearness of the chorus in Jaage Hai from Bose
was intentional.

Swades was recorded fine.  Maybe some people are so used to overly
compressed, overly loud recordings that when a CD with good dynamic
range is released they can't appreciate it.

[arr] Re: Some debatable decisions...

[Tapey3]

Madhushree and Udit Narayan in any Tamil song.  Terrible
pronunciation.  Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal have been good in Tamil.

Hariharan- Vaaji Vaaji (Sivaji).  Never thought his voice was right
for this song.

Hariharan- Aalala Kanda (Sangamam).  IMO this song needed someone
earthier, maybe SP Balasubramaniam.

Chitra- Rang De Basanti.  I feel her singing was too thin and reedy in
this song, especially compared to Daler Mehndi.

Re: [arr] DTS 5.1 or Dolby?

Dolby Digital has nothing to do with Dolby noise reduction.  They're
just two different things made by the same company.  DD runs at a
lower bitrate than DTS, but they use different codecs.  The general
consensus is that even half-rate DTS is better than DD.

I think ARR and Ashutosh conciously avoided creating another

Weren't there one or two songs cut from the film?

I do think they could have added a Tansen number.  Maybe it was cut.

Re: [arr] rahman + small time tamil directors!!

[Tapey3]

Also he has done the music for Sakkarakatti.  I believe the director
is a first-timer.

The problem is that there really are no strong directors in Tamil
cinema of the current generation.  No Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, no
Ashutosh Gowariker.  Nobody with any freshness.  Everyone is making
the same old action/comedy/romance masala movies or boring old
romances.  Nothing invigorating.  So how, in this climate, is ARR
supposed to be inspired to create something brilliant?

Even the so-called "rustic" or "realistic" films in Tamil cinema these
days are the same old stories with similar song situations as well. 
There have been far too many Tamil films where there is a montage song
of various scenes of the boy and girl doing cutesy things like walking
along the beach, talking, etc.

[arr] Re: MUSICAL GENIUS ARRAHMAN SINGS FOR KAILASH KHER

[Tapey3]

Have you guys heard Kailash Kher's 2 non-film albums, Kailasa and
Kailasa Jhoomo Re?  Very good music.  Diverse styles, too.  Kailash
Kher composed the music for both.  He's not only a terrific singer but
he is a terrific composer as well.

The only ones that are true copies are numbers 1 and 3.  The rest are
loops or weird coincidences.

BTW, thanks to I2FS for introducing me to that Peter Gabriel album,

Thenmerkku uses a similar loop from the Dr. Alban song, but it is a

with you, Kishore. If one had to brand plaigarist MDs, then Pritam and
Anu Malik would lead the list. I have heard many Middle-Eastern songs
that Pritam has simply incorporated with just Hindi lyrics. And Anu
Malik, everyone knows about him. Not that these guys are not good, but
just that when it comes to being original, A.R.Rahman still remains
original. Those who think Rahman lifts music from overseas
compositions, must first realise that Mr.Rahman had won a scholarship
to study Western Music at Oxford Univesity's Trinity College of Music
where he learnt various genres of music. He makes a perfect blend of
different genres that no other composer has ever been able to achieve
and I guess there never will be one. He has an influence of
Middle-Eastern music too, but being influenced is poles apart from
involving in plaigarism.

Re: [arr] Why are false music release dates floating around?

They should give us a definite date to stop the rumors.  If the date
is three weeks from now, fine.  But don't announce it at the last
possible minute.

[arr] Re: Good article - Rahman songs hard to sing

[Tapey3]

This article inadvertently hits on something important about ARR's
music.  Before ARR the idea of film music that we all had was that it
was instantly catchy, hummable, etc.  Even ARR's music for several
years followed this idea.  But in recent years he has moved away from
that idea and much of his music these days is a slow poison.  It takes
multiple listenings to grasp hold of the music.  Which, if you think
about it, is a pretty bold idea.
