The Best of the Best


 

  1. Elay Nehram (Sakkarakatti): This is as good as Rahman can get. It is very different from the standard Rahman fare: its got a violin that, in the words of a friend, "cracks through the ear-phones", its got an accordion/mouth organ that is beautifully lost; a guitar that soothes and voices that astound. I can never tire of listening to it.
  2. Aye Hairathe (Guru): Personal favourite for many reasons—Hariharan's best in recent times with Alka Yagnik providing apt support. Rahman does the "Dum dara" chorus brilliantly. It's got this magical charm about it that is indescribable; and an interlude to kill for .. Though some believe it wouldn't be on Rahman's 25 best all-time ever, I would certainly put it in there, in the first few positions.
  3. Madhuraikku Pogathadee (Azhagiya Tamil Magan): Maybe Tamil music has a lot of such songs, maybe Vijay/Vikram fans see this as standard tamil folk, I don't know. I love it simply because of how refreshingly different it is. From the voices to the drums to the chorus to the lyrics (ah the lyrics!), they just fit in perfectly. Rahman's versatility is apparent here, especially with the guitar and the husky female coming in during the latter half.
  4. Desh Ki Mitthi/ Ghoomparani (Bose): Listen to these tracks and let go. Incomparably melodious.
