Your music from your Jingle days and the 90s were purely around the carnatic expertise in you...why dont you come back to this realm??? >
Santosh, this is something i have said a few times in the the group in the past few months. His 90s songs had strong Carnatic flavor in them, and thus this is why people always says his 90s r the best. But if im not mistaken, in a recent interview ARR said that he doesnt want to use carnatic as he is afraid the songs will sound similar to another song frequently and that is why he is trying as much as he can to stay away (not his exact word though) from it. But in my honest Opinion, ARR should use more carnatic bases in his songs nowadays. This does not mean i want ARR to stop his innovativeness, but THE ARRAHMAN STAMP is all about this because he started his career with it and people are remembering his songs for this factor and that is why all this debate on 90s and post 90s songs come about. Songs like Ennavale, Anjali Anjali and such, not only they were extremely modern, but also very Indianized as well. Something that is A.R.RAHMAN all bout... :) IMHO, En Uyir Tozhiye from Kangalal Kaithi Sei post 2000 is by far the most most most soulful melody from A.R.Rahman in recent years which will never fade, ever! :)
