[JamesDap]

One thought that occurred to me about Mugilo. IR's interludes in the 80s as well in many, many compositions in other decades used to have a strong 'theme' and the different passages would build up to a certain mood or emotional swell, whichever way you choose to describe it. But the first interlude of Mugilo sounds more like maintaining a set theme throughout. So there is not much contrast between the passages - keyboard/guitar/flute. I confess it is not exactly what I prefer to hear but what made me curious is he used this approach in Saindhu also. And the 2nd interlude in both songs is very dreamy and seems intended to catch the listener unawares with a surge of emotion. Sounds like a new approach he is experimenting with.
