His last great timeless album was Jodhaa Akbar (am I missing any album here?), and 4-5 individual tracks later. More than being sure that this album will be good, I am praying that it is something special. The signs are good, the rest remains to be seen.
Rahman has used utter chaos in the past to a wonderful effect (for instance, the Bombay Dreams title track), and manages to do it again in whatever this track is. Few musicians can make chaos sound nice they probably also view chaos as something beautiful. It sounds weird at first, before the familiar Rahman guitar arpeggios kick in. What makes me curious about Raavan is the use of chaos in this track. Think Swades, The Rising (good director doesn’t apply here), even Kisna. A good director can churn out a great first-look of any Rahman OST. I don’t want to get my hopes high based on the 30 seconds in the trailer. I am looking forward to the music more than the movie. He was restrained in Guru, but he seems to have realized that restrain is for silly actors. The junior of the Bachchans seems all set to give a delightful performance - depending on what delights you. While I was gone, the first trailer of Raavan was out.
