Chords and Notes
Bas Ek Pal
Tips
Finally, here is an album that strives to introduce western music to Indian audiences. The best thing about Bas Ek Pal is that it does not pretend to be fusion music. Some tracks are apparently influenced by classic rock ballads, while others draw inspiration from dance and techno music. The cassette opens with Hai Ishq Ye Kya Ek Khata, a lively and appealing number by guest composer Pritam. Sunidhi Chauhan and KK lend their voices to most of the songs, but the second track, Tere Bin, is sung by Atif Aslam, of Woh Lamhe fame. Mithoon's music is subtle and ideal for easy listening. The title song, too, is quite catchy.
The second side begins with the romantic number Ashq Bhi by Vivek Philip. Philip had composed music for My Brother... Nikhi", another film directed by Onir. The next song, Dheeme Dheeme is soft and soulful, easily one of the show-stealers. The cassette winds up with three remixes - something one could rather do without.

Sa Re Gama, Rs.145
There have been many such assorted albums of Bollywood love songs and there shall be many more. This album has 11 love songs from Hindi movies made during early 1990s till 2005.The once-popular Kumar Sanu-Sadhana Sargam number from the film, Damini, "Jab Se Tumko Dekha Hai Sanam" clearly takes you to an era when there were no Himesh Reshammiyas. The number from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, "Ho Gaya Hai Tujhko To Pyar Sajana" as always has the power to strike a chord with any listener. Same goes for "Pyar Ko Ho Jane Do" (Dushman) and "Meri Sanson Mein" (Aur Pyar Ho Gaya).
The selection of the numbers picked from films made in 2000 has been good, barring the song from the film, Kasoor, "Mohabbat Ho Na Jaye". "Zara Zara" (Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein) never falls short of bringing out the versatility of Bombay Jayashree. "Jadu Hai Nasha Hai" (Jism) and "Mann Ki Lagan" from Mahesh Bhatt's Paap, you all will agree, are rightfully there. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's "Jiya Dharak Dharak" from Kalyug is the perfect finale for the album made particularly for the love-stuck listeners.
