Re: Samunder - Ye Range Mehfil

Thanks Shashi!! Like Like Superlike, to your post !!

I don't understand technical aspects of music (as of now), but I got amazed by 
rhythm" and singing"; when I listened to this song for the first time few months 
before.
Asha Bhosale is incredible, Unusual singing (for other MDs) as usual (for RD"), 
ratter typical Panchamish" singing I should say.

 Thanks and Regards,

Am currently listening to Range Mehfil from Samunder. The recording has been a 
satisfying euphoric experience to say the least. The difficulty is to get lost 
in listening to the song as opposed to doing any real work - like cleaning, 
recording and mastering. But that is the fun - everytime I emerge from the 
basement I am a renewed changed man - all excited and swaying to a strange tune.

Anyways...Range Mehfil is one of the crown jewela of not only Samunder but also 
Pancham's 90s composition. A followup in genre, style and treatment to their 
(Rahul Rawail, Sunny, Pancham) earlier hit Arjun-Dhadkan Pal Pal. This song has 
all the intricate and mature elements of a large scale cabaret. But the

Well said, Shashi. And that very nicely captures the quintessence of dear Pancham's compositions. Every
note, every composition, every murki, every nuance has a reason and a designated place in his
compositions. Which is why, so very often, the visuals didn't do justice to the richness of his ideas. I've
often felt that Pancham visualized a particular scene and mood better -  and delivered forcefully,
through his songs, orchestration, and background scores - leaving the actual visuals panting behind.

*Eloquently put, Vineet. You've done a Shashi! Exactly my feelings. The
goings on on-screen sort of take your concentration away from the nuances of
the song instead of enhancing the experience. *

Re: Samunder - Ye Range Mehfil

Not wishing to digress... but speaking of Samundar, another song that comes to mind is "Ae Saagar ki lehron"
- simply, simply mind-blowing...

Maybe this could elicit another write-up from Loin ? :p

Re: Saare niyam thod do

 And then happened to listen to the Audio track of Asha's ` Sundar hoon aise mein ' from Dil ka Raja. There was
the the chorus repeat  .. Hare Krishna bolo Hare Krishna bolo Hare Hare Hare Raam. And this made the song
complete.    

And talking of chorus ( I mean not that of just repeating the lines of lead singers ) it would be exciting for us
all to discuss the songs where LoRD had effectively used them and the impact it had on us.

Re: Saare niyam thod do

Ok friends, let me make the start.

Lets start with the ..... start ! I mean the prelude music or chorus , in this case.

How beautifully LoRD creates a platform ( how he sets it up, so to speak )with chorus, for the entry of the
vocals and for the singers to take forward can be best understood with the following examples that
immediately come to my mind :

1. O hansini ( Zahreela Insaan ) - really MIND BLOWING !!!! LoRD captures the mood of the hero / situation in
such a beautiful musical language ! Timeless !
2. Poocho na yaar kya hua / Rafi & Asha ( ZKDH ) - perfectly blending with the scene ( Tea garden )
3. Dil mein jo baaten hain / KK & Asha ( Joshila ) - same as above.
3. Hum tum gum sum / KK & Asha ( Humshakal )  - continues throughout the song, popping up at the most appropriate times.
4. Tu mera kya laage / KK & SA ( Oonche Log ) - same as above.
5. Le kar hum diwana dil / KK & Asha ( Yaadon ki Baaraat )- mainly Asha, but there was chorus also, wasn't there ?
Unforgettable !!!

Cheers / Pooviah

When R D Burman refused to compose a song for Raj Kapoor (from rediff.com)

http://www.rediff.com/movies/slide-show/slide-show-1-the-musical-scandals-of-bollywood/20101201.htm

"

*When R D Burman refused to compose a song for Raj Kapoor*

R D Burman 'Pancham' and Randhir Kapoor 'Dabboo' were good friends. Pancham
had been signed to score the music for Randhir's first directorial
film, *Dharam
Karam*. One of the songs needed to be picturised on Raj Kapoor.

Randhir told Pancham to compose that particular tune with Raj Kapoor
present. But Pancham got upset and said, 'Dabboo, you did not tell me that I
had to play a tune in front of Raj Kapoor, else I would have not signed the
film.'

The reason why Pancham reacted this way was that he had had a very bad
experience with Guru Dutt earlier. He had heard that Raj Kapoor was
difficult to work with as well.

Pancham said Guru Dutt 'drove me mad'. He would finalise a tune after
hearing a range of tunes, but cancel it at the very next sitting because his
vision would change by then. He would ask Pancham to compose another tune.
Pancham never understood what Guru Dutt really wanted.

Pancham thought Raj Kapoor was difficult while selecting tunes as well, and
so when Dabboo asked him to play a tune for his father Raj Kapoor, he
refused.

Randhir tried to reason with him, saying that Raj Kapoor was a very creative
