btw, guys have u all heard various anthem versions of ARR & Bharat bala's productions "JANA GANA MANA".
http://www.rediff.com/broadband/2000/aug/29trans.htm
Bharat: We have a big army called Team Bharat Bala Productions which gets immediately into the excitement, and it is a major effort of the whole team put together.
Kanika: Plus A R Rahman!
Bharat: Yeah!
Kanika: I should also say that he voluntarily comes in these big ideas. He believes in them; he never questions them. It has a lot to do with his passion. And the time he spares from his other work! He put his heart and soul into this and is a part of the team with us. So it becomes almost, as Bala says, a Team Bharat Bala production!
Is it true that you and Rahman were the only people in the studio while recording Vande Mataram, the first album?
Bharat: Yes, that is absolutely true. It so happened that there was not a sound engineer or anybody (during the lunch break). So I was the sound engineer and he was the artiste recording and the artiste performing. And that's how it (Maa Tujhe Salaam) happened!
What were the recording sessions of the album like? There must have been fireworks out there.
Bharat: (laughs) It was.
Kanika: It was more than fireworks. I think that (amongst) all of the senior artistes, from Lata Mangeshkar to Pandit Jasraj to Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, there was no feeling of who they were or where they came from. A lot of people have asked us, 'Wasn't there a clash of egos?' The concept did not exist. They all literally came together and gave time for the recording and for the filming.
In fact, we took 60 artistes up to Ladakh to film the video of the National Anthem, the instrumental version. It was a 40-piece string section along with Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma, Vikku Vinayakram and all of the other instrumental maestros. And nobody questioned or said why is A R Rahman producing it? There were two generations of maestros, there were fathers and sons. It was a huge musical unification, which I think is one of the main reasons this anthem has so much of soul.
Scale,
Can you explain your question more elaborately, as i see nothing rehashed and ill try to answer, while you read this review of the music of HEYRAM :)
http://music.indya.com/reviews/film/hey_ram.html
Rama Raga
This is not music. It is history. It is a showcase of what true genius can achieve when it sets its heart on a goal. When violin maestro L Subramaniam walked out of Hey Ram, director Kamal Haasan invited his old friend Ilayaraja to compose songs that had already been filmed. In other words, the maverick musician had to create new tunes that occupied exactly the same space and playing time as the scrapped songs!
The way Hey Ram got ignored was extremely tragic. It speaks a lot about the ignorance that is fashionable among a section of self-styled critics in Mumbai that Ilayaraja�s brilliantly atmospheric music score, capturing all the tensions, tumult, passion, fury and tragedy of those violent times when the country got splintered in two, was written off as �uninspired� and �dull�.
Let us state once and for all that it is impossible for any composer in Mumbai to achieve what Ilayaraja has done in Janmon ki jwala thi tan mein. Man, what a melody! And what heights Asha Bhosle achieves as she goes at Sameer�s uncharacteristically articulate poetry! Hariharan gives Asha ample support. But this is primarily her song. And the composition is to die for. Note this Janmon ki jwala is one of the finest love ballads in the last five years. Ilayaraja hasn�t composed words, he has composed feelings in this unsurpassable and sweet ballad.
The Tamilian maestro breaks regional barriers with his raunchy lavni Asa ga madan gan, sung with aplomb by Anupama Deshpande and Preeti Uttam. Preeti (who is composer Uttam Singh�s daughter) shows her heightened raga skills in the midriff of the lavni and later, in Prem bin. The track Chaahe pandit ho chaahe kazi ho, about communal amity featuring Kamal Haasan, Hariharan and Jolly Mukherjee (who sing for Kamal, Shah Rukh Khan and Saurabh Shukla) conveys a quaint intimately epical feeling.
The classical maestro from Calcutta, Ajay Chakraborty, fills the soundtrack with sounds of fury in Har koi samjhe. Kamal Haasan is joined by his daughter Shruti for the title track composed and rendered as a riot of choler. It is angry and tempestuous. Just like the film. It is hard to believe that this score came to Ilayaraja by default when L Subramaniam opted out. Though Hey Ram is a film soundtrack, it is not a filmi score.
Barring the timeless Janmon ki jwala, the songs, music and dialogues are directly and indelibly linked to the film. How can we comprehend the significance of the sanyas mantra where Kamal Haasan�s voice merges with Hema Malini�s, unless we connect it to the proceedings on screen? Or Rani Mukherjee�s recitation of Jibonandadas' poem? It is woven into the brutal and tender fabric of this monumental film.

ANYways, WELCOME BACK...
Excellent Review!. Yes Ofcourse the whole album is HISTORY now. Tell me what are you trying to prove from that review. Do you mean that IR alone can compose better than anyothers in MUMBAI :lol: :lol:. What Heyram Musiccal review has got to do with the VM re-hash in Mumbai Express. For comparison, I can post many International reviews of ARR's, the reviewer itself mentioned that NO COMPOSERS IN INDIA (not just in MUMBAI) can compose like him in versatile... ROJA Proved BIG again after 12 years.
Just get a CD of "JANA GANA MANA" 35 individual renditions & ARR VM's Vocal and Instrumental Versions(Bose too) OR ANY OTHERS. Now you tell me why IR/KH has to re-hash a VM funnily (ilu ilunu iluthirukkaru, nakkala). Is that what they claim experimental & a comedy movie (Mr.Bean??)?. What is the necessity for them to do this to VM. And the arrangements is like our School SPORTS Day "march-past". Just imagine if ARR would have composed something like this, naaru naara killuchirupeenga.(Reiterate Maa Maa Tujhe Salam - rendition allegations that time)Quote:

OK the confusion was due to your use of word REHASH i thought you were pointing at the song as if IR-KH combo have rehased a earlier tune :roll:
re·hash tr.v. re·hashed, re·hash·ing, re·hash·es
1. To bring forth again in another form without significant alteration: rehashing old ideas.
2. To discuss again.
Ok leaving apart the meaning of the word. The scourge you have taken against this song has been already discussed and beaten to death in MX album thread.
IVe given pretty good no. of reasons for they doing so. If you have anything more to discuss you can do it so in that thread. :twisted:

Uyirae/Dilse - poongatrilae, satrangi rae.
