CHORDS & NOTES

ISHQ HAQIQI

Music Today, Rs.

It is indeed a pleasing change to get back to the roots of modern music, and it is very much an added bonus being floated gently along Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's engaging voice. It's like going back in time listening to traditional quawwali through merely the harmonium and the tabla. For fans of the genre and the singer, it is a khhwaab come true.

The philosophical lyrics beautifully confined within the constant 6-beat Dadra tala provide only the beginning of the experience.

Further along are the subtle melodies and the transfixing backups, a literal acoustic-treat for the listener.

The sixth track performed in Punjabi validates the Sufiana. WAR OF THE WORLDS

Sa Re Ga Ma, Rs.199

Could not catch up with Steven Spielberg when he put up his show at a multiplex near you? Well, never mind,

He might pay a visit to your home. All you got to do is to pick up a copy of War of the Worlds, now available in a twin VCD pack.

This Steven Spielberg film that comes with his hallmark and shall please the admirers of Tom Cruise. Specially those who converse in Hindi and want their Hollywood heroes to do the same. The special effects, which were so special on the big screen, lose some of their grandeur in the VCD with some editing too. And Cruise comes across as a caring man taking on the world to save his family.

The film may not have the impact of Minority Report, but you can watch it on a leisurely evening all by yourself.
