Monthly Top 5 3 albums - October 2011

to say i’ve enjoyed 5 albums this month wouldn’t be right. truth is i’ve day in day out stuck to A.R. Rahman’s latest work for the movie Rockstar. in fact for a whole week i was obsessed with the Sufi piece Kun Faaya Kun before switching to the rest. Rockstar is a singer’s dream. i’m kind of jealous of Mohit Chauhan who’s been chosen as the only voice for Ranbir Kapoor in the movie.

i’ll add 2 more records to the list:

Radiohead - TKOL RMX 1234567 (2011)
Tinariwen - Amassakoul (2004)

Radiohead’s collaborative remixes for The King of Limbs is a perfect follow-up to one of the year’s best records; it’s been a perfect work companion as well for a couple of times. a must-buy IMO.

and last, Tinariwen! why? because i got to see them live earlier this month and it’s been one of my greatest experiences being there right up in front, clapping for hours alongside other people who consider these musicians as gods. incidentally, after Tassili, i had to go back and revisit their previous records.

that’s it. i don’t have five but three records despite bookmarking dozens of them. blame the sheer genius of Rahman who has kept me singing Phir Se Ud Chala, Jo Bhi Main, Saadda Haq, Kun Faaya Kun, etc during these last few weeks.
