Connections(A.R.Rahman)

Surprisingly,the "Ude Le Ude Le" part is missing in the full version of Jiya Se Jiya but it sure is catchy.It would've majorly clicked if not for the extremely loud backgrounds which is just pissing off.Sukhwinder Singh springs a complete surprise with his vocals in Mann Chandre-Just when i thought he would be a misfit in this very slow track.But the song per se has some generous sprinklings of the composer's earlier work in Slumdog Millionaire,mainly in the orchestration.The Thirukkural verses by the female singer is more likeable when compared to Blaaze's rendering which almost sounds like the stupid slow rap he did in Loosu Penne.But the album is interesting and unconventional only due to the instrumentals.Mosquito,Mylapore Blues and Himalaya are amazing,right from the way it starts with beautifully arranged assortment of sounds to the way it ends in the end,especially in Mosquito.But the album belongs to the Silent Invocation A,B and C.All the three tracks are a complete knock-out in terms of the mood created by them and they are incredibly well packaged.The six instrumentals stand out in this latest album by Rahman.
