Is ARR Running out of Stuff?

Topic started by Ramesh Vaidhyanathan (@ gengw.gensym.com) on Fri Mar 13 15:14:51 EST 1998.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

I listened to VandeMatharam in which ARR recycled his own tunes from Kizhakku Ceemayile and a touch of a song from Indira.
Also ARR's recent movies for big time producers like Ratchagan and Iruvar (except one song) and Dhoud in Hindi did not have any notable music. Remember ARRs last hit Minsarak Kanavu music was done long time ago.

If for a major album for Sony released on 50th year of Indian Independence, ARR cannot produce original music, then I have to come to the conclusion that he is running out of stuff. I heard that ARR is planning to cut down on movies and concentrate more on albums. Thus he will have to produce less and earn more.

Right now I do not see any difference in the quality of music produced by ARR and Karthik Raja. In fact I think Deva is doing a better job of providing consistant good quality music.

  "The point is Raja has handled these automatic signals superbly" -- agreed singal is just for one road (Tamil)
  
  Ipa minimum 5 road swami ---- programing the signal romba tough.
  
  
  Eg: Desiya geetham -- Drum programing is sutham, yetho ready made beats ---- we cannot find a good and new sound sample in a song, same old combinations - Unable to find new sound combinations, unwilling (or unable) to use properly the new groove styles - same old chord progressions. Arkuthapa...
  we need something new...and different
  
  btw: I am a music litrate..so I am ready to discuss musicaly also.

  And RajaG: I just thought of a super-idea. I just spoke to Anumalik, Shravan and Dilip Sen. They have all , in true sporting spirit("Kya, ek madrasi humse muquabla chahta hai..chalo, uska chutti kar dete hai"), agreed to meet your challenge head-on. This being a special task needign special talents, they have all decided to pool in all their 'resources' and make a concerted joint-effort to satisfy you. Nadeem, however, will not be able to contribute his mite due to his legal problems. However, he sends his wishes and prayers to the three musketeers' success. He has also promised them that he'll try to sneak into LondoN RPHO and flick a preview of Raja's symphony for them.

  As a well-wisher of yours, I am warning you now itself. Run for cover:)
  (I will have no problems taking up you place at sprint.com, if you worry about your employers losing a valuable employee:))

  Srinath :
  ..is ARR running out of stuff yet ? No...
  He is doing his work, he activities are more diversified to tamil, hindi,telugu.
  
  6 songs in tamil
  6 songs in hindi
  6 songs telugu
  
  on an averagee for a song he takes around a month
  , he expects the same quality in all the 3.
  (so you can calcuate the time period.) -- so the
  production is at a very slow speed. So this makes most of us think he is loosing his ground, and you guys after witnessing the downfall of IR -- (could not bear it) -- started pouncing on the newcomers. Arr impressed many in a very short span
  Arr was considered as a rival to IR - which itself is big sucess to ARR...
  
  IR is the greatest of the TFMa -- evvanga mudivu eduthangalam... -- Nala Joke...
  
  also
  Srinath thanks for the pointers, i will look into it.

  Raja Raja thaan.
  
  Oru kattile aayiram (rah)maangal irukkalaam. Aanaal, oru singam thaan kaattukke Raja. TFM-ai porutha varayil Raja thaan antha singam:)

  Conclusion: ARR - Violin, flute theriyaadhu - gnyaana soonyam
  IR - groove style theriyaadhu, chord progression pazhasu - kasumaalam.
  dEvaa - at least from the posts above, no criticism.
  veLLai pudavai dEvaa thaan unanimous winner!
