forget the synth usage - in 'suryakanthi' a beautiful tune such as 'chan chanare' is spoilt rotten by those 'dangu dingu dan dadang dang/cham chaku cham' chorus part - in the 1980s, it was ok, but this is 2009!! what the heck is happening ? what cud have otherwise been a complete album has been offset by these elements which am sure if IR had been more careful cud have been easily replaced with some interesting motifs - what i find glaringly missing are those lilting string motifs such as this here -
http://www.mediafire.com/?gim2u5kwvtg - my question is why not replace these meaningless 'dang dings' with such motifs to make the score complete ? noone dare question IR's output quality thereafter!
20 years since the 1980s, listening such stuff in otherwise well-composed tracks is plain embarassing
i dont mean to offend any one..what is chorus part that suits 2010,
"yole yole yole",or "fouham heeee mo chee.."or is "mehu mehu mehu"?? i think every composer has some how has his own sounds for chorus like Devas' sick 'hayo hayo"..which stays on for ever...
you are completely missing my point
well if you want to put IR in the same platter as Deva, go ahead - but i bracket IR with the best in the world - and i dont see a john williams or a hans zimmer doing any of this crap - true, IR works under different circumstances, but right now, when his music (as well as others) is being accessible to a wider spectrum of ppl than ever before, I wud want his output to NOT have such 'dang ding' nonsense
last year, i did play some of IR's tracks to a documentary film making friend of mine, who immensely liked the variety/versatility, and the tunes, but upfront pointed out the weird sounds (paraphrasing her -"whats that weird 'jaangu chakku chachakku chakku' in an otherwise brilliant 'rakkamma' no ?") and also the recording quality
recording-wise his music has jumped ahead, but when i get to listen to 'suryakanthi' with all those things i mentioned, i dont know how i can send such an album for a review! go back and read steve's review of IR's music in Film Music Journal - even in his glorifying review, he has upfront pointed out the inconsistent sound levels in Cheeni Kum's recording!
lets face it - this kind of a 'frog in the well' attitude will not help - and being objective and constructively criticizing WILL HELP!
IR might be a genius, but now with more and more people taking interest in his output, he better get rid of these redundant sounds and replace them with something more universally palatable
if not, a bunch of IR fans like you and me will listen to his music, and that too, downloaded illegally online, after some HCIRF gets lucky enough to get hold of his released CD, rips it and uploads it somewhere - this trend will continue, and IR will get continue to be, to quote Vignesh from his article "an island in India, that noone will ever know of"
