Rahman from my point of view

Rahman has been around for at least close to two decades now.Almost all tamil or I can even say indians are affected by this sickness called rahmaniac. Looking at it from a wider point of view being an NRI from KL of which me exposed to various music styles and ideas across the globe still I find rahman's music stands a part. Here's what consider may be the reasons behind this opinion of me.

Rahman's best till date is not definitely slumdog millionaire but sick he only got an oscar for that ( language barrier i guess. rahman's believe that music has no language is broken here )This mean lucky me to know tamil that i can enjoy songs that other's can't

Rahman as a music director has compatitor i can easily say even in tamil music industry we have ilayaraja, yuvan, kartick raja and some other music directors who can definately give hard time to rahman in term of composition. But he himself as a human being has no competitor, facts like KMMC, ARR Foundation is prove to this. How many people we know can speaks politelly to everyone and always praise lord for every achievement. He is a man who believe in god and good deed. He believes in love and not hate. He has meet the greatest failure one can have where his first album goes super duper FLOP to add the wound it's spiritual one. A man who practice his religion very seriouslly and being paid this way would definately get demotivated very easily but this calm man has just overcame with ease thanks to his wellwishers.

His music quality (i'm not referin his music making style) im actually referin the technology he using to record his tunes and composition. Panchatan studio inn is claimed as the best one in asia and I have to agree with it. Just look at his album ROJA 1992 we can see how a music director can use tech to give listeners a new experiance. For example his kadhal rojave song u can only hear the air sound from flute and not the flute sound.

His versatlity to compose music which has classical feel but blends with modern instruments such as guitars and bass. For instance I can refer his composition form partaley paravasam the lawrence dance musics is definatelly a gem on this king's music crown.

Above are some the qualities I find in him which I admire a lot.
Anything to add fell free:)
