Heretic II Revisited

Heretic II is a fantasy action-adventure game developed by Raven Software and published by Activision in 1998.Corvus is our hero here, the main character from its predecessor, Heretic. Using a modified id Tech 2 engine, the game features a third-person camera view unlike its first version which had a first-person shooter view built on the Doom engine. The score was composed by Kevin Schilder. The art design and some of the artwork itself were created by Gerald Brom.

Plot:

A mysterious plague has swept the land of Parthoris, taking the sanity of those it does not kill. Corvus, the protagonist of the first game, is forced to flee his hometown of Silverspring after the infected attack him, but not before he is infected himself. The effects of the disease are held at bay in Corvus’ case because he holds one of the Tomes of Power, but he still must find a cure before he succumbs.

His search leads him to an ancient Seraph named Morcalavin. Morcalavin is trying to reach immortality using the seven Tomes of Power, but he uses a false tome, as Corvus has one of them. This has caused Morcalavin to go insane and create the plague. During a battle between Corvus and Morcalavin, Corvus switches the false tome for his real one, curing Morcalavin’s insanity and ending the plague.

My Impressions:

I have been a very great fan of this game.I can still remember the first time I got a taste of this game. Way back in the year 2000, when my systems person installed this game, I really enjoyed it. But it was a demo version. Later as years went, I simply forgot this treasure and I went for Cricket, tennis, and other high definition games. Again six months back, when I decided to upgrade my system, I was again reminded of this Heretic II game.

I always longed for this game. I went to all the game CD shops around my locality. All had the modern games but none of them had this. Later I found a full game in one of the websites and I started playing it.Yesterday I finished this game. Wow!!!!!!!! What a game. Excellent graphics. Excellent one for a game designed in 1998 and absolutely there was no hiccups with installation and gameplay. But a few times the game crashed throwing an error message. Rest of all, it was a great experience playing this game.

Right from Silverspring Docks to meeting the immortal Morcalavin, it was a great gaming experience with lots of challenges ranging from rats, infected zombie like people,little dinosaurs to the mighty Serpah.

The game boasts of excellent sound effects and some great music giving it a eerie gloomy atmosphere. Infact the final stages of the game Morcalavin Dungeon is a tough nut to crack as one wanders through the same path again and again always looking lost.
The graphics were done to great detail and almost all the stunts look real and the range of both offensive and defensive weapons/spells make this game both colourful and visually appealing.Whenever Corvus takes a Mana Shrine, its a colorful visual treat.Corvus becomes very powerful once he acquires all the Golden and Silver Armours and all weapons as the damage caused to him are limited by the protective shields.

Its been a great game I will recommend this game to everyone but this game is not without its pitfalls.

Pros:
1) Excellent graphics considering it was designed way back in 1998.Particularly meeting the bosses of each level. Most fantastic is the Mighty immortal Serpah.

2) Interesting game play.

3) Neat storyline, great sound effects and great Background music.

4) Great weapons and mana shrines.

5) Easy game controls.

Cons:
1) The game is a little bit confusing. Sometimes I used to wander around searching for a lever or a lift that could transport me to a different area or even too a next level.

2) Lack of proper maps like a GPS. The map provided has only a "X" mark and it doesn't help at all.

3) Some levels were too tough and unable to crack that I resorted to using cheatcodes. The ones I used were:

~SUCKITDOWN ALL

~KIWI

I also used ~MAP for two levels that I completely got fed up with the game unable to find a way.

These were the drawbacks otherwise a great game to play.

Highly recommended..............

FROM A.S.DILEEP KUMAR TO OSCAR WINNING "MOZART OF MADRAS" A.R.RAHMAN

FROM A.S.DILEEP KUMAR TO OSCAR WINNING "MOZART OF MADRAS" A.R.RAHMAN

Padma Shri Allah Rakha Rahman (born January 6, 1966 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India) needs no introduction. He is a musical icon who single handedly changed the musical
sounds in Indian Film Music. He is the first Indian to win two Academy Awards He has this obsession towards awards that he won the National Award for his very first movie
Roja. Since then including four National Film Awards, a BAFTA Award, Golden Globe and two Academy Awards.

Rahman, in a career spanning over 17 odd years has sold more than 100 million records of his film scores and soundtracks worldwide and sold over 200 million cassettes making
him one of the world's all-time top selling recording artists.
A.R.Rahman is always referred kindly by several names like "Mozart of Madras", "Isai Puyal", "Musical whizkid(in his early days) or "Music Dynamo"....

A. R. Rahman was born to a Tamil Hindu family. His father R. K. Shekhar, was a composer and conductor for Malayalam films. Rahman lost his father when he was 9 years old,
and his family rented out musical equipment as a source of income. He converted to Islam from Hinduism in 1989 along with his sisters.

During these formative years, Rahman served as a keyboard player and an arranger in bands such as "Roots", with childhood friend and percussionist Sivamani, John Anthony, Suresh Peters, JoJo and Raja. Rahman is the founder of the Chennai-based rock group, "Nemesis Avenue". He played the keyboard and piano, the synthesizer, the harmonium and the guitar. His curiosity in the synthesizer, in particular increased because, he says, it was the “ideal combination of music and technology". He began early training in music under Master Dhanraj. At the age of 11, he joined, as a keyboardist, the troupe of Ilaiyaraaja, one of many composers to whom musical instruments belonging to Rahman's father were rented. Rahman later played in the orchestra of M. S. Viswanathan and Ramesh Naidu, accompanied Zakir Hussain, Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan and L. Shankar on world tours and obtained a scholarship to the Trinity College, Oxford, where he graduated with a degree in Western classical music.

In 1992, Rahman began his own music recording and mixing studio attached to the backyard of his house called the Panchathan Record Inn, which was developed into India's most
advanced recording studio. He initially composed music jingles for advertisements, Indian Television channels and music scores in documentaries, among other projects. Some of the
memorable jingles he composed was for Leo Coffee, Sunrise,MRF Tyres,Garden Sarees, Cinthol, Premier Cooker,Boost,Remanika Sarees etc...Recently he also composed for Airtel...

Roja's score was a landmark in the history of Indian film music that it almost swept allmost all awards in the industry. Time Magazine rightly described Roja's score as ""Top 100
Movie Soundtracks of All Time"". Many felt Rahman was a one film wonder. But he proved the trade pundits wrong by scoring hits after hits like "Puthiya Mugam", "Thiruda
Thiruda", "Kizakku Cheemaiyile", " Kadhalan", "Bombay", "May Madham" and so on till the recent Delhi-6....The list is endless... If one starts to list his hit songs, then almost 85% of his songs will top the list.

When Bharathi Raja approached A.R.Rahman for the village subject "Kizakku Cheemaiyile", everyone excepted Rahman to fail miserably. There was a popular comment "Computer
vachhu music poduraaru avaru...Avaraala graamathu subject poda mudiyaathu" But the sound track proved detractors wrong. All the songs were super duper hits. The movie marked the association of A.R.Rahman and Bharathi Raja. Later ARR became a regular for Bharathi Raja movies.

Apart from Mani Ratnam, A.R.Rahman shares an equally grandeous partnership with Bharathi Raja, Shankar, Kadhir and other few directors. A.R.Rahman always reserved his best
for these directors. Or may be they know how to extract from Rahman. Mani Ratnam has used Rahman from Roja and all their albums were great evergreen hits. The much awaited "Ravan" is in the making and internet resources say it has the usual jaw dropping Rahmanish scores.

Shankar has always preferred Rahman except for Anniyan, he used Harris Jayaraj. The much awaited science fiction thriller "Robo" is in the making and Shankar has revealed Rahman has given some out of the world tunes for the movie.

Kadhir except for his first movie(Idhayam was a blockbuster musical hit) had used only A.R.Rahman for all his movies. Rahman's score for Kadir's movies was always melody
oriented. Whether it was "Pennala Pennala" or the recent "Sonnalum Kettpathillai", Rahman's tunes for Kadhir was always sweeter than honey..

Rahman attached and opened a developed extension studio to his Panchathan Record Inn in 2005 called AM Studios in Kodambakkam, Chennai considered to be the most
developed, equipped and high tech studio in Asia. In 2006, Rahman launched his own music label, KM Music. Its first release was his score to the film Sillunu Oru Kaadhal.
Rahman scored the Mandarin language picture Warriors of Heaven and Earth in 2003 after researching and utilizing Chinese and Japanese classical music, and co-scored the
Shekhar Kapoor helmed Elizabeth: The Golden Age in 2007. His compositions have been reused in scores within India and have made appearances in Inside Man, Lord of War
and The Accidental Husband. In 2008, he scored the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack, for which he won two Academy Awards and many other awards. He became the first Indian to win two Academy Awards.

Rahman made an album Vande Mataram (1997) on India's 50th anniversary of independence to commercial success.He followed it up with an album for the Bharat Bala directed
video Jana Gana Mana, a conglomeration of performances by many leading exponents/artists of Indian classical music.

In 1999 Rahman, along with choreographers Shobhana and Prabhu Deva Sundaram and a Tamil cinema dancing troupe performed with Michael Jackson in Munich, Germany, for
his "Michael Jackson and Friends Concert." In 2002, he composed his maiden stage production Bombay Dreams (2002) following a commission from musical theatre composer
Andrew Lloyd Webber, a success in London's West End. With Finnish folk music band Värttinä, he wrote the music for The Lord of the Rings theatre production and in 2004,
Rahman composed the piece "Raga's Dance" for Vanessa-Mae's album Choreography.
In the last six years, Rahman has performed three successful world tours of his concerts to audiences in Singapore, Australia, Malaysia, Dubai, UK, Canada, the US (Hollywood
Bowl and 3d tour) and India. He has been collaborating with Karen David for her upcoming studio album. A two-disc soundtrack, Introducing A. R. Rahman (2006) featuring 25
pieces he composed from his Tamil film scores was released in May 2006. His latest non-film album, Connections was launched on 12th December, 2008.

Rahman was always blamed to be a sound engineer and he could not compose without music softwares. But people known to him very well know that he has a complete
knowledge in Western Classical, Hindustani, Carnatic and World Music. He is a modern day Vangelis or a Peter Gabriel. His influences can be traced back to Vangelis, Peter
Gabriel, Dave Grusnin, Mozart, Carpenters and Bach. He has successfully presented tamil music in a complete international style that only a few can even dream to execute.

The director Baz Luhrmann notes
"I had come to the music of A. R. Rahman through the emotional and haunting score of Bombay and the wit and celebration of Lagaan. But the more of AR's music I encountered the more I was to be amazed at the sheer diversity of styles: from swinging brass bands to triumphant anthems; from joyous pop to West-End musicals. Whatever the style, A. R. Rahman's music always possesses a profound sense of humanity and spirit, qualities that inspire me the most.

The famous composer Hans Zimmer says about A. R. Rahman “Like any good artist, A.R. is not a traditionalist, he’s a revolutionary. He uses all the revolutionary things that come from all over the world in his stuff … hip-hop beats, electronics .. and there’s an incredible inquisitiveness and playfulness in his music, Plus he writes a bloody good tune ,,, and at the end of the day it comes down to can the guy write a tune or not and obviously he can”.

A.R.Rahman is blessed with three children, Khadijah, Rahima and Aman. Rahman is related to the southern Indian actor Rashin Rahman. Rahman is the uncle of composer G. V.
Prakash Kumar.

The one striking aspect of Rahman is he has remained the same ever since his first sound track. He is so humble and down to earth that todays composers had to emulate him.
Hard Work pays rich dividends...

"His story is almost like Slumdog Millionaire...He started supporting his family at the age of 11 when he started playing keyboard and due to his ever supporting mother and sisters and due to the divine blessings from his father Shekar he has reached the pinnacle of glory that no other Indian has ever reached....
Perhaps the Oscars were a little late....He should have got it for his first score in Roja itself......Unfortunately it was not an English production. The West has now taken notice of this musical genius.... Rahman please be here...We have already lost you to Bollywood. We don't want you to lose you to Hollywood too......

Jai Ho.

Delhi-6 Review

Delhi-6 Music Review

This is the first album of this year 2009 from our Golden Globe Winner-Mozart of Asia A.R.Rahman and it was a completely enriching experience to listen to this album.What a way to start this year. This album can be easily listed as one of the top 10 A.R.Rahman albums till date. Following Rang De Basanti, A.R.Rahman has once again proved his class and had bettered his RDB compositions in both flair and class. Its indeed a great privilege to pen my thoughts about this album.

1) Aarti (Tumre Bhavan Mein) – Rekha Bharadwaj, Kishori Gowariker, Shraddha Pandit, Sujata Mazumdar:
A typical bhajan to start the album. Not much of orchestration with female harmony section and shruti box and jingles throughout, its a pure melody to relish and its also short in duration.
Rating: 8/10

2) Arziyan – Javed Ali, Kailash Kher:
"Maula Maula" is a typical Rahman quawali number with the traditional tablas and harmoniums and nowadays Rahman has become a master in such compositions soaked in Hindustani music and a little bit of Sufism thrown in. The guitars are great and subtle and they blend beautifully throughout the song. Both the singers Rahman's new find Javed Ali(of Jodha Akbar fame) and Kailash Kher do complete justice to this song.A completely soul stirring composition that can be grouped with "Khwaja Khawaja",Sona Sona" and "Varaaka Nadi Karaiyoram". The pad usage along with the harmonium around the 3.20 minute and 4.50 minute is great. The subtle string section and bassline throughout the song makes it a pleasant hearing.
Rating: 9.5/10

3) Bhor Bhaye – Shreya Ghoshal, Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Raga: Gujiri Thodi
Rahman has attempted to bring the immortal Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan composition with nice overlapping with vocals of Shreya Ghosal . A classical composition brought to younger generation in Rahman's own unimitable style with tablas and harmoniums.
Rating:10/10

4) Delhi 6 – Blaaze, Benny Dayal, Vivinenne Pocha, Tanvi Shah, Claire
A pure rocking number. This song is a complete electrifying number. What can one expect when all rocking power houses like Blaaze, Benny Dayal,Vivienne Pocha, Tanvi Shah and Claire share the mike???The result is a pure electro funky number with electric guitars and acoustic guitars. The use of slap bass guitar is commendable. Even the tabla also shares its space there. Suddenly from 2.18 minute, we hear brass and timpani and reverse cymbal too. Little weird..This song could have been better.
Rating: 8.5/10

5) Dil Gira Dafatan – Ash King, Chinmayee
Ash King makes an interesting debut here. Even in the prelude, one can sense the coming of vintage A.R.Rahman of Kadhalan days. The use of oriental strings,pads,bells,music box and guitars and string section makes the song a stunning melody. Ash King and Chinmayee are flawless and they do justice to this innovative song. The violins, scottish pipe and wood bass before and during the first interlude brings in an Irish feel to the song. The string section fuses the western classical opera feel to this song.A great melody to hear.
Rating: 9.5/10

6) Genda Phool – Rekha Bharadwaj, Shraddha Pandit, Sujata Mazumdar
The first prelude is very interesting with some funky sounds and electro beats and then the songs starts like a folk tune. But what happens next is mesmerising. We suddenly hear synth bass, distortion guitars and electro beats- a complete transformation of a folk song presented in western style. Good chord progressions and neat beat section with bird chirping sounds adds beauty to this song. Its a very short interesting number.
Rating: 9.5/10

7) Hey Kaala Bandar – Karthik, Naresh Iyer, Bony Chakravarthy
This is an another Middle Eastern flavoured song with neat bass riffs and fast beats. The rap section(is it by Ember/Bony Chakravarthy??) is done to perfection and the song sways to and fro and some times gives a deja vu feel at various places. The FX effects(atomic blast and ambulance) at few places are interesting. The voice morphing and the hip hop style of this song will make this song a perfect dance number. The pipe is enchanting like a magudi sound. A perfect blend of hip hop/Middle Eastern and Bhangra in typical Rahman style. The scale changes and distortion guitars adds splendour to this song. A worthy listen.
Rating: 8/10

8) Masakali – Mohit Chauhan
Only one word to describe this song "STUNNING". This was the song that was aired in Delhi 6 trailer and evoked a sense of curiosity to hear this album. A pure Rahman number which has all the trade mark Rahmanish elements in abundance and grandeur. A stunning melody rendered effectively by Mohit Chauhan. The string section accompanied by Mohit's singing in the first prelude just signals that some thing breath taking is going to sweep us away. Ghatam,accordion by A.R.Rahman himself and bass guitars and castanets soon follow and this song definitely has the Spanish feel. A pure melodic fun number with the excellent
strings section and the accordion in the first interlude is a treat to hear.Sure it takes us back to the glorious IRUVAR days. There is also a trademark Rahmanish percussion bit in 2.20 minutes and 3.32 minutes(like Uppu Karuvadu from Mudhalvan). The tempo of the song is perfect and the percussion is pure Middle Eastern stuff.The singer crooning Mattakali and laughing makes it a pure fun number.
Rating: 10/10

9) Noor – Amitabh Bachchan
Amitabh Bachchan's baritone voice appears in the backgounds with soft strings at the backgound. I don't know hindi....It must be some poem...I suppose....Its quite effective and typical Rahman work.
Rating:7/10

10) Rehna Tu – A. R. Rahman, Benny Dayal, Tanvi Shah

" A GREAT TRIBUTE TO HAKEN'S CONTINUUM MIDI CONTROLLER"

Wow...This is my another pick of the album. Rahman is so soft and soothing in his vocals. Little bit of hip hop rhythm and beautiful bassline, electric guitars and nice chord progressions. Typical Rahmanish song touching the higher crescendos with reverse cymbals,the music is great when Rahman sings Rehna Tu accompanied by guitars and soft beats.This song has shades of blues and classical 70's and 80's pop style.A little bit of Carpenter's style. This song is a great tribute to the "Finger Board MIDI Controller-CONTINUUM". The song has the lengthiest postlude may be after "Duet" that it almost comes for 2 minutes.

The part played in CONTINUUM is great and it is really wonderful to know that only a very few people in the world use "CONTINUUM" in their albums. Wikipedia lists only 7 popular artists using this instrument. Our Rahman is there among the legends. I strongly believe that we will hear more from this FINGER BOARD instrument. Some big surprise is sure to strike us.......
Rating: 10/10
FINAL VERDICT:
This album is easily one of the most appealing albums by Rahman in the last 5 years and one of the best that can be grouped along with May Madham, Thiruda Thiruda, Rangeela,Swades and Rang De Basanti. A very fresh album with so many genres.A must buy for any music fan.

GHAJINI- MUSIC REVIEW

This was one of the most expected albums in 2008 and finally the album has released and let us see how the songs fare well when compared to Harris Jayaraj’s work in Tamil. Lets have a preview into the songs….

1) Guzarish

Singer: Javed Ali

Guest Vocals: Sonu Nigam

The album starts on a breezy note with the melodious “Guzarish”. This was the first song that came out in the promos and its an highly addictive number. With Sonu Nigam on the guest vocals and Javed Ali rendering the main song it’s a treat to hear. A very typical Rahmanish melody with a booming bassline from the 2.02 minute, this song is already a hit. Mandolins by Seenu adds ambience to the song. Would have been nice if they had included an extra Sonu Nigam version also. Soft enigmatic beats and subdued string section complements the song. Excellent start to the album

Rating: 9.5/10

2) Aye Bachoo

Singer: Suzanne

When the first song was a breeze, this song is a power packed dynamite. The song starts with a distortion filled old FM synthesized foot step synth and then slowly thumping percussion joins with power packed lead/distortion guitars. The mute guitars along with tubular bells join in this power package. The interludes are ordinary but Rahman has packaged this song very well that it doesn’t keep you bored.

Not to forget Suzanne as she carries this song forward. A perfect fun filled dance number.

Rating: 8/10

3) Kaise Mujhe

Singers: Benny Dayal and Shreya Ghosal

This song according to me is the pick of the album. With tapes led by Laxminarayana and Raju, this song stands apart due to its complicated structure and immaculate orchestration. A typical Rahman melody, sung by Rahman’s latest favorite Benny Dayal.

But wait, I always thought this was a tailor made song for the maestro himself. Rahman could have sung it himself. Benny seems to have imbibed this song deep in this mind, that his voice sounds almost the same as the “Mozart of Asia”.

When it just seemed, Benny was running out of steam, Shreya comes to the rescue as she elevates the song to new heights. Guitars and Flutes and soft piano throughout the song interspersed with chorus section makes it a dream song. The highlight of this song is the collaboration of international artist Kazimir Boyle (worked with Rahman in Elizabeth-Golden Age) who had worked in the likes of Hans Zimmer has done the additional programming to this song.

Rating: 10/10

4) Bekha

Singer: Karthik

This is another power packed song sung by Karthik. Karthik returns with a bang with his energetic singing. Its been a very long time since we heard Karthik in Rahman’s music. This song starts in a hip hop style with beats, trumpets/sax with neat bassline. The chorus is somewhat ordinary but what happens after 1.10 minute is breathtaking. Saxophone by Martin Daes and pianos bring a nice jazz feel to the song. It’s the hero intro song told in Jazz/Mid 70’s Rock style with Rahman’s contemporary stamp all over it. I still feel odd when Karthik rushes through the words. A good song sung with finesse by Karthik. This is another pick of the album.

Rating: 9/10

5) Lattoo Lattoo

Singer: Shreya Ghosal

This is a pure dance number straight from Rahman’s desk. It may seem that it’s an usual Bollywood dance number but a closer hearing would reveal the intricate layering of various synth effects. Rahman has been giving a lot of dance numbers in recent times. But sometimes, it gives a feeling as if we are listening to a private album’s number( May be due to Pravin Mani’s additional programming and arrangements). But bass guitar riffs are typical Rahman stuff and Shreya Ghosal’s voice fits into this number. But her voice best suits melodies. A thoroughly enjoyable number. May be Rahman should have tried Ranjit Barot for this song.

Rating: 8/10

6) Kaise Mujhe (Instrumental)

Guitars: Neil Mukherjee

Flutes: Kiran

Rahman picks the best number in the album for this instrumental. Its slow, somber may be a flash back for the Asin episode. Guitars and flutes are the soul of the song. Hear it when you are lonely and sad. It evokes your emotions deeply. I don’t know why the pianist (Rahman???) is not credited. It’s so soft that it blends into the guitars and flutes and weaves magic throughout.

Rating: 10/10

VERDICT:

A.R.Rahman has emerged victorious in this attempt. Composing for a remake is not easy as original songs come to the composers’ mind thereby hindering the actual thought process. Ghajini(Tamil) is one of the Harris’s best work till date and cannot be compared to any other composer’s work. But there cannot be any comparison to Rahman’s work as the maestro has given pure magical numbers and has maintained his 100% success ratio this year. The one important thing is he is not repetitive either in his tunes or in the BGM arena. This album is a must buy for any music fan…..
