Khaamosh Paani - OST !

Surprisingly good music & decent recording from Music Today. It's Punjabi folk music with good vocals & instrumentation. But try before you buy - music lovers will like it.

I do not remember what I had paid, I have the entire lot of what they had produced until 2005. Maybe I had it shipped to some family in USA & then it may have come by post, maybe they [RR] sent it to me, I am not sure. But the music is good and the recording is amongst the best I have heard. Top 5 for sure.
So many greats they have produced, if only they recorded in Tokyo & Kobe etc.

Thanks Bhagwan,

Did some R&D as you suggested. Noticed that some samplers cost only 10$. The Burmester 3 is a bit expensive at 30$. I guess the recording quality is what you are after. As plenty of classical / jazz / country CDs are available in India for interested folks.

The Tutti is BETTER RECORDED than Burmester 3.
It is never about the money. It is about the attention to detail & then the sellers 'ego' !!
Tutti is a must buy !!!

Burmester 3 is also good, but for classical I prefer Tutti !

The recording quality is decidedly superior to the CD of the same movie but the audio mixing is not mature - still full of frills. But for Rs. 299 & good music, its not bad at all.

Some weird marketing is going on in USA. Only retail location where the album will be available is WALMART!!! (at least for the inital few weeks) I think Walmart has already ordered 5 million copies of that album

Restriction is there for online sell also. Even amazon is not selling it.

Not sure what's the strategy for India but expect delay unless you are already seeing ads for the album.

That's commercial music for you my friend...and corporate branding...

going by Hell Freezes Over's success, they may be expecting long queues in front of the music stores so Wal*Mart says get that queue on our doors, we are not selling too much music anyways...

I wonder if their music would also taste commercial...maybe yes...

I saw this album in a music store today. Universal music - CDs pressed in India and packed in a cardboard case. Price Rs. 395 - I wasn't motivated to buy. Has anyone heard it? How's the recording quality? Universal music is doing a lot of media campaign.

Alvida-Ustad Vilayat Khan,2 CD set,Sony/BMG,N2R 0188 2, Rs 399.
Acc to the blurb on the cover, the last recorded solo concert of the Ustad-he passed away 13 th March, 2004.
An extraordinary album featuring an extensive write up abt Vilayat Khan ji, how he evolved into the greatest Sitar maestro the world has seen(sorry but in my opinion he's way above Pt Ravi Shankar Ji), his contributions, musically, technically, & technique wise in developing the sitar,etc.
The music on the two Cd's is excellently recorded and contains material that at least I have'nt heard before-the ustad demonstrates his equal virtuosity in singing his bandishes & then playing them on the sitar,& more...
For members who are interested in Hindustani Classical Music, this is a must buy, for nostalgic & musical reasons.

Speaking of cover versions, I have to say I've realised that -- just as in this case -- they are not always a bad thing. Two covers I've heard this year, both Leonard Cohen songs -- "Suzanne" by Nina Simone and "Hallelujah" by John Cale -- so utterly breathtaking. Sadly the rest of the songs on the Leonard Cohen tribute (very aptly and amusingly titled "I'm Your Fan") are very mediocre and the Nina Simone is not present at all, what a disappointment.
