I just found a couple of FLACs and Background music scores of His Highness A.R. Rahman.
The list includes : Saathiya, Yuva, Hindustani,Swades,Guru,Dil Se and a few more.
FLACs are basically huge music files which can be compressed without any losses. The usual MP3,WMA, AAC formats decrease in quality during compression.
Talking about the Background scores of the above mentioned movies, well, its disappointing.
The BG scores are usually not given their due, especially in Hindi-language movies. Seriously, however good the score, there is hardly a mention of it.
Although, Ram Gopal Verma is one director I know who puts the BG score into a bit of prominence, especailly in his horror flicks. Immediate names hitting the head are Dwarak Warrier and the Merchant brothers, Salim-Sulieman.
Their repertoire includes movies like : Dor, Naina, Kaal, Bhoot, Being Cyrus, Darna Zaroori Hain, Kaun?, Ab Tak Chappan, Jungle et al.
OK, these are some movies which didn't exactly fill the producers pockets, but looking at them from a 'sound' perspective, they are brilliant !
Horror flicks are very obviously highly dependent on sound, and the these are some guys I think, do a freakin' amazing job as Sound Engineers. ( Sound Design is a more preferred term nowadays, thank Resul Pookutty for that.)
Coming back to Rahman, his BG music isn't appealing. He simply takes a small tune / beat from one the songs of the movie are loops them.... he will 'bastardise' them to an extent. That is one big crib regarding Rahman.
P.S. : H. Sridhar is highly missed, after listening to the disastrous OST of Rahman's latest offering, 'Blue' (rather 'Bloo')
