Rawat, What are you talking about? I can't decide if you are being comical or sarcastic or I don't know. Since when did Rahman get a reputation of "creating music only for the sons and daughters of rich and powerful who have top end systems that cost a king's ransom to buy."?
That is a pretty absurd statement and I've only seen it coming from you. All Rahman fans know what kind of layers and nuances Rahman adds to his songs. These minute details can be better heard on high-end systems with good quality audio but that doesn't undermine the over-all likability or the shelf-life of the song. Quality of sound has been a big plus in the West and is also expected in India as India is progressing and people are being able to afford the "next" best thing. Moving from cheap radio/transistor to a cassette player is a huge jump in quality.. similarly moving from cassette player to a CD player is. And so is moving from 128kbps to 2400kbps. We should be encouraging people like wasim, AJ, Vithur and others who take great pains to rip and upload these pieces. No wonder, kaissiom doesn't share anything anymore because there are not enough people that appreciate high quality music. Just like Thiruda Thiruda was too early for it's time... this high quality is too early for it's time... it will be better appreciated in 10 years, maybe. --- In [email protected], V S Rawat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 7/29/2008 11:04 PM India Time, _lalisingh20_ wrote: > > > Gomzy, what are you listening to it on?
