I also agree that in his past he has done way more great job. I wonder why nobody is talking about or making a movie on <B>Bombay Dreams</B> Rahman worked magic on that.Darshit Joshihttp://dunkdaft.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368338.post-89730954305017573952009-01-23T20:35:00.000-06:002009-01-23T20:35:00.000-06:00Ajnabi - Thanks for the clarification, I hate that I was duped into spreading the falsehoods :( Looking forward to seeing the review on your blog!<BR/><BR/>Richard S - I too am a fan of hers back in the day. Went to see her in San Fran with a DJ buddy of mine in 2004 when she was just starting out. I am not that well versed on Tamil films and thus quite ignorant of composers like Ilaiyaraaja - there is just so much Hindi music out there that I discover everyday that there just isn't enough time to listen to all the music I would like (come on lottery!). I like the song 'Bamboo Banga' alot and will have to check out the original some day. For that matter the entire Kala album is alot of fun. <BR/><BR/>Sally - My favorite album is her debut Arular with her hit single 'Galang' on it. Kala is wonderful too but there is something raw and hypnotic about Arular that I just can't shake - maybe it's because I saw her perform so many songs from that album live. <BR/><BR/>Bhargav - I agree with you completely. I honestly don't think this is his best work but it might be the most accessible for a global audience. I too loved the music from Bombay and Dil Se so much better. But like you said, it is absolutely wonderful to see him getting the acclaim he so rightly deserves.Sanket Vyashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00410998671085464946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368338.post-11978604965065118612009-01-23T15:33:00.000-06:002009-01-23T15:33:00.000-06:00Yeah, I agree that the Dil Se soundtrack is better (and probably others are too). But I'm an old fan of M.I.A. - followed her music back when much fewer people heard of her - so it's very pleasing to me to see her have such a big part in this work.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous, I assumed your question was directed at Doc Bollywood. But maybe the doctor isn't in. So, since I have some expertise on this matter (unlike probably many other things covered in this blog :) ...<BR/><BR/>IMO, Kala is the best, and if you like filmi music, it's definitely the one to buy. It's got samples from three old Indian films and references to a fourth. My favorite songs among these are "Bamboo Banga," which samples from Ilaiyaraaja, and "Bird Flu," which samples from R.P. Patnaik.Richard S.http://roughinhere.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368338.post-89137972447762872202009-01-23T10:09:00.000-06:002009-01-23T10:09:00.000-06:00Dreams on Fire and O Saaya are my favourite tracks. But I truly feel Rahman has done better work than this in films like Roja, Bombay, Dil Se etc. But then it's brilliant to see him get all the awards this year :)Bhargav Saikiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04259238502534248897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368338.post-36391181566240495412009-01-22T19:56:00.000-06:002009-01-22T19:56:00.000-06:00LOVE this song and the entire Slumdog soundtrack! I can't stop moving whenever a Slumdog tune is played and hope Rahman wins an Oscar. And after I missed seeing him, the cast, and SRK at the Golden Globes, will make sure I watch the Oscar ceremony!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post. BTW, I am now exploring more M.I.A. songs -- do you have a favorite album?<BR/><BR/>SallyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368338.post-76145219563806459562009-01-22T15:07:00.000-06:002009-01-22T15:07:00.000-06:00Nice picture of Maya. I read somewhere that she had worked in Rahman's studio in the past. (I think while recording Kala - probably about two years ago.) It's true, though, that they never met during that time.<BR/><BR/>I had actually thought that her favorite composer was Ilaiyaraaja, because of the brilliant way that she sampled a song from Thalapathi in her song "Bamboo Banga." But nice to see her working with Rahman - and getting this film's soundtrack out on N.E.E.T., a label that she founded and manages (though in this case, at least, as an "imprint" of Interscope - I don't really understand that record biz stuff).Richard S.http://roughinhere.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30368338.post-67682986079539409232009-01-20T07:22:00.000-06:002009-01-20T07:22:00.000-06:00Apparently Amitabh didn't really rant against Slumdog, he was just posting quotes from his comments section for debate and the media picked it up without bothering to clarify. I really am looking forward to seeing the film. :-D http://bigb.bigadda.com/2009/01/16/day-267/ajnabihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08296593338690811213noreply@blogger.com
