DAUD
Somewhere around 1997 ARR released this quiet experimental high
tech venture , an ingenious craft of fusion music relies heavily on
technical wizardry.
This music is cool and racy, Great usage of wind instruments,
percussive beats and an amazing tempo with lots of electronic
sounds complimenting the film's title; that is pronounced
'Daur',
meaning 'Run' or 'Generation'..As the title suggests , the music
sounds like a futuristic interlude to what's going to come in the
millenium from ARR..This is a classical example of Rahman's abiding
trick : stun listeners with voices and sounds they hardly
expect...Something seems strange with this release, though all
other ARR cds sounds great regardless of the type of equipment you
play the music on,
Daud can only be appreciated using a good audio system due to the
high use of synthesized sound and the recording seems to be
deliberately made that way..the cassette version sounds muted.
Sources suggested that Rahman was reportedly upgrading his studio
at the time and maybe this could a test of new
equiment.Unfortunately , all the bells and whistles could not save
this album from its ultimate demise due to the weak box office
takings of the movie which the songs were found in.Overshadowed by
the excellent Vande Mataram at the time..Rahman had outdone
himself
It failed to click with the masses but
Nevertheless will be really interesting because the music is very
different from the love duets and dance numbers ARR used to do at
the time.
a genius, and that assertion is undebatable!
