MD for 'yArO ezuthiya kavithai' is Anand Sagar.
From: T.R.Sankar (@ 199.86.135.113) on: Wed Nov 26 05:17:25 EST 1997

Music director for ÿaro Ez.."was "Anand Shankar"son of Ace Dancer Üday shankar .He is very popular for composing fusion scores for dance dramas.

To know who Uday shankar is try out Hindi film "Kalpana"(1949).US along with Gopi krishna (Janak Janak payal Baje") were considered the best male dancers some time back.
From: NOV (@ 202.184.134.10) on: Wed Nov 26 20:45:06 EST 1997

Shankar - oo la la is a French expression and doesn't belong to Gloria Estefan. There is even a Malay song with the phrase, as I am sure there are in many other languages.

Instead of condemning the song, why don't you marvel at the way ARR had blended in the very Tamil music in the second half of the song and had it's Hindi version accepted by the Hindi audience?

Shankar

Sorry. I got confused. It is Anand Shankar.
From: shankar (@ webgate1.mot.com) on: Wed Nov 26 23:41:37 EST 1997

nov sir,
I like the song verrrrrrrrrrry much.Even now I admire the way he's made the song.I always tell my friends that thiruda^2 and M.kanavu are the best of ARR.I was really disappointed to find such a great song was a copy.My friend in US told said considerable part of the GE's song has been copied.

Guys today i was listening to the song 'azhagoviyam'from Monalisa(thanks to Malaysian radio)Boy I was surprised to see ARR adopting to 70s style.Such an refreshing change.It reminded all those MSV and SG songs of 70s and early 80s.Great work.....
From: Pratap (@ sjx-ca25-25.ix.netcom.com) on: Thu Nov 27 04:30:41 EST 1997

To Shankar:

Gloria Stefan's song that you are talking about is completely different than ARR's Oo La La La... First of all ARR starts the song in a very different style than Stefan's style. Although the words are the same, the melody has nothing to do with Stefan's number, which is much more fast-paced, and not as sweet as ARR's tune. Secondly, ARR's tune is much more melodic than Gloria Stefan's tune, in almost every aspect. Nevertheless I agree that Stefan's song is a more hip than ARR's number. Given all this, it is very naive to call it a copy of Stefan's song, which in the first place is not the original, as the expression is french as NOV pointed out.
From: shankar (@ webgate2.mot.com) on: Thu Nov 27 23:56:07 EST 1997

pratap,
For this kind of an excuse I 've already given an answer(to himanshu).If a person can't improvise on a piece which he's copying/getting inspired!! from ,there is no diff betn U and me and an MD.Anybody can make a song worse.If U don't
call it 'copied' then let me put it as 'inspiration' (sounds good).
From: Naraynan (@ 206.217.81.244) on: Fri Nov 28 04:04:19 EST 1997

To Mr Shankar:

I will have to say that I agree with Mr Pratap. Indeed Gloria Stefan's song is totally different than ARR's song.I don not even understand, that then where does the question of copying arise.
Secondly, as Mr Pratap has pointed out, the expression, Oo La La La, is a french expression.It is not Gloria Stefan's original idea either, as you seem to think.
From: T.R.Sankar (@ 199.86.135.113) on: Fri Nov 28 08:38:08 EST 1997

When Sujatha Rangarajan wrote " Nila (JENO)"all & sundry told that he has copied from X ,Y and Z.For that Sujatha told "Ellararsolvathayum paarthal Naan oru Library i copy adithirukka vendum!"This holds good for Rehman.some say thisis from JAm some body else say the same has been copied from "Dangerous".GS etc.

I think Rehman contributions to TFM are good quality sound,Technology and respect.Otherwise how do you explain all Kids and not -so-kids roaming around Kodambakkam with their keyboard.
Ilayaraja was the first to use modern gadg.. like key board etc. But when ARR uses it better he complains about "technology corrupting Pure music"" bla bla ..

This reminds me of Boris Becker. Till such time Ivanisevich came to the scene he was not complaining.Now he has forwarded suggestions for one-service in Tie-break .This tells volumes about attitudes.
Rehman music (sorry slightly overdoing) is like "Kannadasan paadalgal.Athil Valluavar,valmigi,kambar , Kollangudi Karuppaye undu,Gibron undu,Shakesphere ,patinathar ,Thirumoolar undu...
Tharpothu IR kku thevai Parantha manamum ,nalla oivum than ( I think he has already got the latter half)

Tamil music would not gone this far without ARR.He successfully made those indians abroad(who don't give a damn about tamil music) listen and follow the progress of our music.He even captured the minds of the non-indians worldwide with his captivating and fantastic music.Did any other MDs achieved this?
From: Ravi (@ greed.cs.umass.edu) on: Sat Nov 29 23:04:34 EST 1997

I was listening to ARR's Kabhi na Kabhi recently. I found nothing new in the album really. When I gave this opinion to the person whose cassette it was, he was really turned off and didn't talk to me for a while... and ARRs fans bash IR fans for their inablility to take criticism.
From: Ravi (@ greed.cs.umass.edu) on: Sat Nov 29 23:07:26 EST 1997

Come to think of it... I feel Deva is the only MD who has given something new.. i.e. something he hasn't tried before.. in recent times. :-). Prob. found a new source. :)
From: kee (@ jrc-6-121.tm.net.my) on: Sun Nov 30 01:49:52 EST 1997

Kabhi na Kabhi got a very simple and humble music yet it is very attractive.Different people have different opinion,Ravi.Only a small fraction of ARR fans are unable to take criticsm.
From: Ravi (@ greed.cs.umass.edu) on: Sun Nov 30 12:22:10 EST 1997

Kee: If you read my possting carefully, I too had said that 'it is my opinion' only. I have listened to a variety of music to know that diff. people have diff. opinion. (Hey there are people who like Rap ;-)
From: shankar (@ webgate7.mot.com) on: Mon Dec 1 01:04:05 EST 1997

T R Shankar,
Why do U unnecessarily pull IR's leg to praise ARR.Can U tell me where U read this "technology corrupting music ." by IR ?? He has Parandha manam and he takes rest inspite of scoring music for 20 and odd movies (refer - New movies of IR , thread ) , for he composes a 'quality' song in a short time (unlike ARR who takes months to compose one song ) . Ur comparison of ARR with kannadasan is childish . Kannadasan never did "cut-and-paste" from the metioned poets/authors . our man does !!! (Got the difference ) and see the example u've given (boris and ivanisevic ). unknowingly u've given a good anology !! I don't have to say anything about boris' talent and that of ivanisevic (hee hee heeee... - no offense meant).
From: Amar (@ worf.qntm.com) on: Tue Dec 2 14:42:28 EST 1997

Ramki,
I have a question about the song you mentioned you heard on Malaysian Radio.
As soon as I read your message yesterday, I was confused at your statement, "Azhagoviyum from (Monalisa)" and you giving credit to ARR.
I knew you were talking about some other song but I wanted to make sure if ARR's Monalisa has any song starting "Azhagoviyum".
There is one song in ARR's Monalisa(dubbed version of Hindi "Kabhi Na Kabhi") that starts with "Ajantha Oviyum" and so I knew you were giving undue credit to ARR for that song.

The song you heard is the one that goes like this, right?

Azhagoviyum Uyiraanathu; Puvimeethiley Nadamaaduthu;
Kavi Aayiram Manam Paaduthu; Puthu Kaaviyum Arangeruthu!
Lovely Lisa, Monalisa!

If this is the song you heard, it is from the movie "Rojamalarey" starring Murali and the music is by "Aadithan" and the movie has 4 great melodious songs which remind one of the 70's and 80's songs( for some reasons, when I heard these
songs, I was reminded of MBSrinivasan, because the songs brought back memories of MBS songs).

The songs from "Rojamalarey" are:
1. Azhagoviyum Uyiraanathu - SPB
2. Aanandam Vanthathadi, Ananthi - Mano( another good song )
3. Bombaai Reeva - Mano( Fast song with good rhythm )
4. Oh Mathi Vaanil Illai - Jayachandran( melodious pathos song )
5. Kettavaram Kedaikkalai - Mano( okay song )
6. Poo Pooppoova Poo Poothathu - SPB( Beautiful song )
7. Rojamalarin Nesam - Mallu Singer( kind of Mallu song )

As you probably noticed, all songs are by Male singers only and penned by the producer of the movie, Mr. Jayakumar( I may be wrong with the name )

I don't think the movie has been released yet.

Hi Guys

If any one think AR has not copied, he is giving pure raw own thoughts, I am sorry,
he flicks samples from Phil collings (Anjali, Uera (Bombay), Oregon (ota kara maritmuthu) ,
and many more....but some call it inspiration
(I play both the music and chord progressions are
are the similar) but he is talented to mix them properly with Indian curry.

He is better than the others as people like Sirpy and Deva just do a controlC and ControlV from all
major scores around the world (or universe0

Deva : The famous Meenama in Asai , lifted from MOMA
Sirpy : Anarkali in ullathia alli tha
from Shaggy boys in the summer time...
i can go on ...
All these musician are not original ,

As somebody said "Let's cut the crap of comparing ARR with IR". IR did 30 movies a year will 80% great songs... Our new MD does 6 movies a year, spending rest of his time looking for albums of Pink Floyd, Phil Collins,some folk music collections from abroad..

Without Tabla, Violen and the Flute ... you loose the nativity... I probably spend my time listening to rock music of the 70's and 80's rather than the "Abaswaram" versions of tamil music !!!!!

I listened to Mr. Romeo in Hindi today, and the song "Muchhli Paani Bina" has a part copied from Madonna. What song is it? I think it is called "Thaneerai Khatalikum" in Tamil.
From: R VIMALKUMAR (@ 206.103.12.229) on: Fri Jan 9 03:43:04 EST 1998

Dear Friends,
ARR no doubt,surely has some talent,but he can never be compared to the great ILJA.If you can realize that anyone can compose songs with western tunes,or songs with carnatic tunes.But,to compose original songs with pure melody,God,you need to be talented.Have you ever
listened to songs from KIZHAKKU VASAL(Pachamala puvu especially),or IDHAYA KOIL or MOUNA RAGAM or PUDHU PUDHU ARTHANGAL or PUNNAGAI MANNAN or MOONRAMPIRAI or recently Thenral vandhu theendum.,,from AVATHARAM? lots of other songs from IlJ? songs of KADHALUKKU MARIYADHAI are reaaly fantastic ILJ is like an ocean.His contribution to good music will never end.ARR on the other hand does give good music,but any sane man can easily say that that guy lifts tunes and mixes them nicely.In the film MUTHU, in the beginning of the song THILLANA...comes a bit of music yellllallallallllalayeyayo or something that goes like that.That bit of music is 100% lifted from the group DEEP FOREST'S album DEEP FOREST.Wake up guys!.Vande Mataramis a marketing stint ,touch your heart and say ,Do You Really Enjoy the Title Song?
From: kirubakaran (@ slipper.watcom.on.ca) on: Fri Jan 9 21:59:31 EST 1998

Vimalkumar,
You are right. ARR is surely good to hear. But like you pointed out. It is difficult for me to consider ARR in the same category as IR. I am trying hard to be fair here still IR's music does something to your heart. Maybe IR's music has the 'man vAsanai'.
From: Jayaraj (@ wwwproxy.otis.com) on: Tue Jan 13 23:31:45 EST 1998

ARR is the best, please do not compare...

From: Himanshu (@ 206.217.81.241) on: Wed Jan 14 02:03:10 EST 1998

I think it is very NAIVE to compare ARR and IR. Both of them are good in their own sense. There are some things that IR has and ARR doesn't, yet there are also some things that ARR has but IR lacks them.
I think we need to LEARN to appreciate BOTH, instead of taking one's side and belittling the other.
From: Dev Mannemela (@ tide01.microsoft.com) on: Wed Jan 14 20:17:10 EST 1998

I touch my heard and say

Vande Mataram is a very very good album.
The title song,the song with NFK, Vande Mataram
song itself, Missing You, Tauba Tauba were all very very creatively done. |Tauba Tauba| in particular, I thought, was very well crafted. It's amazing how much detail has gone into this song. ARR as a singer did a fine job, IMHO.

But for the record, I didn't like the chorus in "Gurus in Peace" and the refrains in "Tauba Tauba".

Thanks !

With my limited knowledge I thought ARR's accent in Thouba Thouba was far from satisfactory.. The title song was better in Tamil rather than the original Hindi version..The humming & the soothing tone in Only You seems to be good..The much touted ARR-NFK Gurus in Peace will fails to satisf if one has heard the better version in Karuthamma - Porale ponnuthayi.. All in all Vandematharam doesnt seem what it was/is projected to be.. Telling that India has found its new national anthem(India Today) is just crap as I think I can very well remember my national anthem without any accompaniment of keyboards,drums or guitars..

Hello Everyone!

I am from Guyana, South America.
I just wanted to say that South Indian Music is absolutely great. Unfortunately it is not readily available here. But I do get a few albums and also those that are dubbed in Hindi. I like A.R.Rahman's Style....refreshing. By the way I do not know to speak Tamil or any other South Indian Languages...We are native English Speakers here. But I did learn some Hindi.
The latest albums I heard of A.R.Rahman were Vishwavidhata, Kabhi Na Kabhi. Are there any other new releases. I have not heard Vande Mataram because it is not available here.

I leave with the lilting tune:
"Kaliyon se palkein hain...Palkon mein kaajal hain...Chaandni sa chehra hain........."
[Love this song]

Namaste from South America,
Shailendra

I was listening to 'kabhi na kabhi'yday. Wow ARR
has done a beautiful job. Especially the song sung by the trio SPB,hari and Chitra was superb. The lyrics were too good and highly decent(though Hari
struggles a bit in those high pitches). The music
for the Haris solo was excellent. Sreekumars hindi accent wasnt bad either(is he making his debut in hindi)??But i didnt like the way ARR repeats the humming interlude in the tu hi tu song.
Nice album and good improvement by the whiz kid

About Sreekumar:
He is currently the leading singer in Malayalam now as KJY has drastically cut the no: of songs. He has grown up with the hit team of Mohanlal and Priyadarshan and has numerous hit songs to his credit.. But he can be no way compared with the great KJY as his voice is far from satisfactory. The "Tu hi tu" number is definitely one of the best in that album but really surprised to see that "Mera Dil ka Woh Shehzada" as the chart-topper. One of the reviews held that "the song sung by some singer with a heavy Mallu accent is a total disaster. Wonder why rahman uses these type of singers!!!". The accent always went against Southies in the singing field which I cant beleive bcas of the fact that Southern singers have more clarity,carnatic base & clearer pronounciation. This is true for KJY & SPB also. Maybe these factors are the least preferred in Hindi..

Hi,
Have any of you listened to ARR's songs
from Super Police (a less known film). There is
1 excellent song 'Pakka gentleman naan' and this
seems to be a Hindustani type song. Also there is
a song 'Chinaakuttiyo singariyo' which is good
in parts. Also the song 'Oh vennila iru vaanila'
(Kaddhal Desam) seems to remind Hindustani music.
About the instrumental pieces used in Duet.
One of the pieces seems to be a Thyagaraja
composition in Kalyana Vasantham(Nada gana loludai). Also there is a elaborate instrumental
piece in the song 'Naan paadum sandham
vazhkai un sondham'. Any idea regarding what
ragam is this in? Does the movie 'Rakshagan'
has good songs?
From: Ramki (@ nas01ppp212.apts.wmich.edu) on: Thu Feb 19 22:10:52 EST 1998

Ramkumar 'Super police'is a telugu dubbing(*ing Venkatesh,Nagma and Jaisudha).
Rahman used the tune of one of these songs for
'yaaro'(Rangeela).
"pakka gentlemana'is a good song but the interludes were very similar to 'kozhi kunju'
song (kaadhalan).
From: K. ANUSH ANAND (@ 206.103.12.229) on: Fri Feb 27 00:40:26 EST 1998

Dear Rahman,
Why don't you use original instruments in
your songs. I think they will sound even better
with them. If you have an orchestra of your own
you can do more films in a year and entertain us.

From: vijay (@ 129.252.29.214) on: Sat Feb 28 00:16:30 EST 1998

himanshu,
i think what he means by that is proper musical instruments like violin,tabla etc. and not music synthesized by a computer.

vijay
From: Himanshu (@ 206.217.81.242) on: Sat Feb 28 05:54:25 EST 1998

Well, Vijay and K Anush Anand, ARR uses violins, and tablas a lot. In almost 50% of his songs, the main percussion instrument is the tabla. As for the violins, again ARR uses them frequently too. For ex:

1) Minnale(May Madham): This song not only starts with a violin arrangement, but it also has a brilliant violin interlude, half way through the song.

2) Milgaye Milgaye(Love Birds): Again all the interludes are dominated by violins and violas.

3) Uriyum Niye(Pavitra): The whole song, moulded in a carnatic base, is sprinkled with tabla and ghatam beats.

4) Kannalane(Bombay): Besides the tabla's instrumental part in the opening climax (accompanied by the harmonium and vocals),
it is the only instrument that ARR uses throughout the song, just before returning to a new verse.

5) A song from Duet(I forgot which): Strong use of the tabla, mrudangam, and the ghatam from the start to the end. ARR also nicely uses a nagaswaram(which I guess we can call a "ORIGINAL INSTRUMENT" :-)) in the interludes.
From: MSK (@ dhcp-877019741.qualcomm.com) on: Sat Feb 28 15:37:46 EST 1998

On a lighter note !! Don't take it hard ARR fans.!

Probably somone or some incident in his life has convinced ARR to the core that Mother earth has only limited resources and u shd use them scarcely. So that's why he is so pertinent in re-cycling stuff. If there is a Nobel prize for Conservation , then it shd go to ARR .

OR maybe ARR feels never change the winning formula -i mean "formula" literally. So never change the tune that is a Hit and I think he is 100 % right as almost all of his songs are great hits ;-)
From: Nithin Sreedevan (@ nc.pr.mcs.net) on: Tue Mar 3 19:38:39 EST 1998

Hey, Guys here is a die-hard devotee of Raja, now beginning to see some good music from ARR. I am very appreciative of the totally different style of film songs that he has brought in Iravur and Minsara Kanavugal. Unbelievable, even Raja did not dare experiment that differently with those long melodies.

However, my only question is, these songs so foreign has superb elements of Jazz and old Hollywood film music. If ARR goes on in this fashion, he is bound to make it big internationally, that is if he has not copied the songs or the style of orchestration or presentation.

In my opinion, it has taken about 5 years for ARR bring in some intelligent music. He has done that for the firs time with Iruvar and Minsara Kanavugal.

I wish him my best from now on.

Nithin
