FORTY LICKS - ROLLING STONE
Virgin, Rs. 250
THIS DOUBLE-CASSETTE album is a must-buy for diehard Rolling Stone worshippers. Coming out with 36 digitally re-mastered classic tracks of the evergreen rock and roll band, like, Ruby Tuesday; Brown Sugar; Start Me up and Miss You etc, the album is also armed with four new songs specially canned by the group for it.
Brought out by Virgin Records, EMI Group, ABKCO and Universal Music International in conjunction, each cassette has 20 tracks, all set to roll you back to yesteryears, promising a heart-filled, lovely time. The new songs - Don't Stop; Stealing my heart; Losing my touch; and Keys to your love - though not as great as the oldies, are enjoyable.
Anyway, if just humming these numbers does not just satisfy any fan, he/she may log on to the group's new fan club site - www.rollingstones.com.
DIL VIL PYAR VYAR
RPG SaReGaMa
THIS MUSIC album has attracted more attention than any other album in recent weeks. The reason is not far to seek. It remixes R.D. Burman's old time hits, gets the likes of Kumar Sanu, Sonu Nigam and Babul Supriyo to lend their lips to them and attract the new generation again. The songs, peerless in their original, have been given a new coat of paint with the hope that that will make them more appealing.
All humbug, all nonsense. You just cannot improve the original. While the album may just attract a few youngsters who have never heard the original, it won't sway the discerning. And while it might be a good idea to bring PanchamDa's music to the youngsters, the film did not need a new music director. The original would have sufficed.
Even the timing is awry. The album comes immediately after HMV has itself launched the golden hits of Kishore Kumar which contains many of the songs present in "Dil Vil... " Won't you prefer the original "Mere samnewali khidki... " to Shaan's version?
