Dear All,
I listened to The Rising on Raaga.com this morning after reading many posts in the group mail.
My very first impression was that it was like Naushad had made the music - in the sense that it sort of reminded me of Baiju Bawara and Mughal-E-Azam! Instantly I realised that AR Rahman is trying to transport us back to those times in which the film resides. Thus any one who wishes to knock the music down could perhaps consider this that AR Rahman in modern times is perhaps taking us back in time via the 'time-machine' of music for The Rising.
By the way I believe that the song 'takey takey' has the makings of a superhit song provided it played repeatedly by young DJ's on radio and in clubs, underground etc and also if the situation in the film is good. Another great thing would be if Yashraj as a company promote The Rising music like their other films. It had a very good beat indeed.
I was surprised that Sonu Nigam did not sing in this album!
One thing is sure, popular or not with the masses, it will be remembered for ever!
Please feel free to comment
Regards.
Neena

first impression is that the album is extraordinary. it's very
westernized for the nature of the movie but the ambience exactly fits
anyhow! takey takey has overtones of oh darling yeh hai india I
guess.. Main vari vari.. the main tune is based on very western chord
progressions and a r changes melodies in ways not done in classical
indian styles. chords are too good.. rasiya.. the main chorus is
astounding.. again the backing chords and sound texture is amazing..
santoors in the background I guess.. saarangis, all sound great..
al maddath maula.. got to hear this first ;) excellent again.. murtaza
and qadir perform as usual.. the lines i mentioned before and the few
following lines are great. lots of strings..
overall the album is a lot more HAPPY than I would have expected.
upbeat, uptempo.. but the songs are catchy.. mangal mangal is an
excellent song as well..
i personally like the sound and the ambience of the album.. i would
put the sound as lucknowi or north indian traditional.. rasiya
chorus.. only a r r can do this I guess.
happy listening..
