No I don't doubt the genius in A R Rahman, he is experimental, innovative yet I expect more from him. His orchestration is multilayered, it takes time to understand his arrangement that is why his tunes take time to grow over you yet I would say he is not in his best form and niether D6 nor SD are anyway close to what he has composed in 90s.
Actually music of Delhi6 is too electronic to be honest and I feel these days ARR Is generating more tunes in the category which will be insipid if you remove orchestration. --- On Fri, 2/27/09, Jahanzeb Farooq <[email protected]> wrote: From: Jahanzeb Farooq <[email protected]> Subject: [arr] Re: After D6 and the Oscars, are there still doubters in this group?
