http://www.raaga.com/channels/hindi/movie/H000271.htmlDAUD 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!
