Audio may rock, but movie will not. I do appreciate the fact that ARR gives his best, inspite of MR loosing his head!
mottai podurannu vendikko, naane vandhu mulusa valichiren (for another reason MR begged IR to compose iruvar)
The Real Hypocrites :twisted:
Guys,
I am scratching my head: what happened to the Jazz music & the spirit of guru (from folk to symphony type of music) on the trailors
oops... just checked the trailor its the opera music in Jaage Hain (Mani's favourites) :thumbsup:
Jazz??
Baazi Laga is super. Even if bits from kunguma poove are used. The part from approximately 3:00 to 3:25 is super.
Mayya Mayya is even better! Typical Rahman way. The stuff that I expect from him. The body sways to Mayya Mayya's beats.
Tera Bina and Ay Hairathe are scintillating but too much sugar (read: melody) that it cloys the taste after a few listenings.
Ek Lo Ek Muft is a fun song with nice interludes. I won't yet come anywhere near Jaage Hain (I heard it once but it is for people too much into symphony and stuff).
Barso Re starting music immediately reminds the Thee pidikka number composed by Yuvan. There are other distrubing news that various other parts remind various other songs (see the ARRahmanfans group for more information).
Four awesome numbers, two good ones and comments deferred on one more. A nice album.
1) Mayya Mayya and Ay Hairathe
3) Baazi Laga and Tera Bina
5) Barso Re
6) Ek lo ek muft
Mani's favourite? Did he say so somewhere?Quote:

Pretty good stuff from Rahman. HH sounds a bit like Bhupinder(of 70s ghazals fame did) in his song. I also liked how Rahman integrated the Dum dara dum part in that song. The strings-backed chords towards the end of Ay Hairathe when HH sings the opening lines for the final time is just goose pimple-inducing stuff.
Jaage hain is mesmerising and probably on par with previous themes Rahman has given us. I liked the contrast between the soft whispery vocals and the opera-like interludes. It warrants several more listens to figure out what Rahman has done there a bit more
On the other hand the gap between the best songs and the others in the album seems to be widening for Rahman as he is going a little to much into experimental mode. In SOK, from Munbe vaa/New York to Maaja/Maaricham it was quite a drop I thought.
Similarly the Baazilaga/Mayya songs didnt do much for me. We have heard similar stuff from Ofra Haza and other Arabic mixes CDs available in the audio shops. Wheres the Rahman touch?
Baazi laga is downright ordinary. This is Anu Malik stuff
I dont know if I have to listen to them some 15 times or what to let them grow on me. I dont know if I have that kind of patience.
But the top 3 are quite good.
I know Rahman-Mani have gone experimental post-millenium so I was kind of a little skeptical as to whether Guru would have any simple no-frills kind of song that would still impress. There is just not one but two of them here.
Oh and
Nanna re - although Rahman might not have thought of this song while composing the "nanna re nanna re" humming is quite simlar to "thaanaane thaanane thaanane thana na" humming by SJ from the song "paattu padaikkum kuyile"(from IR's kumbakkarai thangaiyyah". yes, the song does have strong deja vu moments.
Bolo Guru- situational, but didnt impress much musically
Vijayr, you may note that the two sweet songs figure in my top 4, with Ay Hairathe sharing honors with Mayya. So I am in fact in favor of the two. It is just my taste that I like to listen to Mayya Maaya and Baazi Laga repeatedly.
