But later, I realized how ARRs song create a swinging shift thereby making someone to rethink what he/she has thought about it initially. Okay there you go! That's ARR for you. I made something firm in me. i.e. Not to take any quick decisions for ARR albums. This strategy has worked great for me.

Later I felt that lukka chuppi is a gem of a song and tu bin bataye a golden gift from ARR. Bottom line: Accept ARRs songs as it comes and it will definitely strike gold in you simply because, music from ARR is not a result of ARRs work but ARRs blood.

Only after ARR bought rap stuff in alai payuthe. Okay, lets dive into the subject of this mail. ATM Review: After Laggan, all songs in an ARR album have caught me instantly only in ATM i.e. m hearing all songs without skipping from day 1. My pick of the album: Merlyn Monroe (just a shade sweeter than all the other magnificent songs in the album) Album rating: 10/10. Bottomline: A versatile Rahman in show. ARR makes music sound easy but it is not easy. ATM has a bunch of complex compositions. Kudos to all lyricists. Ellapugazhum Brilliance of ARR ARR's voice and rendition; Great and mesmerizing. ARR adds life to the song The use of electric guitar - that's ARR for you Magnificent use of chords that pump the adrenalin (sample 4:02 - 4:10) The way the song ends.. Scintillating! Reverberating chiming section throughout the song - ARRs mind in play Constant energy-sprinkling percussion which sounds great in 5.1 Merlyn Monroe Brilliance of ARR Stylish Stylish Stylish The way the song begins is too sexy. LOVE IT! Notice that there are NO percussion in this song. Just the chiming sounds with bass guitar does the trick for the song. That's ARR for you again Amazing additional programming. High-tech sounds embellish the song Casual rendition by male singer and female voice getting quite squeaky.. This balance has worked out great in the song Mesmerizing male and female alaaps. A complex song to execute. Valayapatti Brilliance of ARR Check out different layers in the song. All unique but very tough to compose Raaga and corresponding alaap. Just magnificient! Come on, could anyone merge both folk and carnatic genre?? Only ARR can handle it so professionally. Result: A magnificient song like this Use of nathaswaram..

Folk + carnatic + percussion alaap (dheem thanaku dheem) Use of bass guitar and making it play all along when the raaga alaap is rendered. This is vintage ARR.

Re: [arr] My ATM review
dear rahmaniacs it was yesterday i heard the ATM songs ( the CDs reached here in OMAN so late). TO be frank i was so flatered . the CD runs non stop in my room and my roomates are now familiar with the songs. It would be better to say that the songs have an immanuel touch and not simply rahmans It s a bit long since Rahmans has done such a croud puller..makes his position as the emperor of indian music..

Re: [arr] My ATM review
if that is so, they could have well said "Ponmagal Vandhal Remix, Guest Composer: Krishna Chetan". Rahman was the guest composer in Fiza where he composed for a song "Piya Haji Ali". He was duly credited for that as the guest composer. Here crediting Krishna Chetan in a small single line says that Krishna Chetan has played a major part in the composition of the "Ponmagal Vandhal remi" but he has not been single person in composing that song. Rahman should have worked on it. sai --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "mmparthi2003" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > thanks for that info > > the cd cover says additional programing and PONMAGAL REMIX done by > Krishna Chetan...it doesnt say additional programming OF ponmagal done > by Krishna Chetan > where am I missing it? i am not creating anything > > --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, vikey vicneswaran > wrote: > > > > U MISSED THE TABLA N TAVIL IN ELAPUGALUM SONG...CAN HEAR AL OVER THE > SONGITZ A MIXING OF INDIAN CLASICAL AND WESTERN...RAHMAN'S > SPECIALITY AS USUALAND PONMAGAL VANTHAL IS DNE BY RAHMAN OF > COURSETECHNICALLY ASSISTED BY KRISHNA CHETAN...EACH OF THE SONG IN > THE MUV DNE BY RAHMAN... > > > > mmparthi2003 wrote: Here you go...this > is my opinion > > > > Blog Link > > http://mmparthiban.blogspot.com > > > > > > > > > > __ > > Do You Yahoo!? > > Tired of spam?

Re: [arr] My ATM review
Its really getting on my nerves when people do post-after-post about the ponmagal remix... SIGH Its an awesome remix...an someone imagine western+classical+rap+old song interlude...rocking number Rahman Sir made a mistake by giving credits to the people involved in each song... Instead he shud have stuck to the old way of audio cassettes where for each song it carries only the singers name.. No names of harmony/instrumentalist/audio engineer/co-ordinators/orchestrators.. Sigh** people enjoy the album... am very disappointed abt the way the people in this grp picking up ARR... but every1 when they accuse star with or end saying they r a gr8 fan/rahmanaiac...
