Entries about the music I like.
Omicron Records // Apoorva Raagangal
As someone interested in Apoorva Raagangal's soundtrack, not the film itself, I can speak to the high quality of the music. However, listening to the record really does make me wonder: why are old recordings so treble-heavy? The standard answer is that magnetic recording and 1970s-era microphones just couldn’t catch low frequencies. But why?
A. R. Rahman — Roja
It’s hard to believe that the Roja soundtrack was a debut album, and that its composer, A.R. Rahman was only 25 when it was released. Since I was barely conscious when Roja was released into a world that had heard nothing like it, I have no first-hand experience of just how bewildering the new sound was for those who bought close to 3 million copies of the album.
