It&#8217;s like a bad imitation of Alka Yagnik and Sadhna Sargam at the same time. Happy crap. <\/li>\n<li> <i>Dol Dol<\/i>. Talvin Singh ripoff, at least the beats. Shahin Badar&#8217;s ethnic vocals are anything but ethnic. At least Blaaze does not spoil the rap portions like that George Peters guy did in Lakeer. Bang Bang indeed. <\/li>\n<li> <i>Nenjam Ellam<\/i> &#8211; Adnan Sami trying out variants of a Tamil phrase ( I won&#8217;t embarass myself by trying to repeat the phrase, I dunno Tamil anyways ) between 1:30 and 1:45 sounds like the guy in Ila Arun&#8217;s <i>Vote For Ghaghra<\/i>, saying &#8220;Tu Kaye Boli&#8221;. How does acoustic bass sound with a breakbeat and synthetic instruments? Pretty good, as far as this song goes. <\/li>\n<li> <i>Yakkai Thiri<\/i>. Fanaa. Supposed to be High Vairumuthu Poetry mixed with frenzied electronics and vocals. I don&#8217;t know about the poetry, but this sounds pretty frenzied, all right. Rahman&#8217;s vocals make it alternately cheesy and High Musicmanship. I end up hating the <i>aalap<\/i> at the end one time, and liking it some other time. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The score stays in the same territory that Rahman covered in <i>Kaadhal Virus<\/i> and <i>Boys<\/i>, dollops of electronica mixed with traditional instruments, nothing like conventional film-tracks. Of course it does not lack in melody, but there are very few portions that are hummable. ( Huh, if I wanted hummable I would listen to Himesh Hum Hum Reshammiya! ) It&#8217;s kind of like the <i>Matrix<\/i> scores by Don Davis, very loud at times and you cannot just put the music on in the background and do something else, unless you are accustomed to some degrees of heavy metal\/electronica.<\/p>\n<p>It would be interesting to see how my opinions on this album will differ after&#8230;say&#8230;15 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey GoodBye Nanba &#8211; Sunitha Sarathy&#8217;s voice makes me horny.
