Rock you like a Hurricane
Songs like that take me right back to college. Classic rock was so in-demand! Wonder where that correlation of Indian college life and Iron Maiden-esque rock culture came about. Maybe its the whole anti-establishment feel of it.
On that note, the soundtrack of Life-In-A-Metro. A pure-Indi-rock soundtrack, with generous flavoring of good electric guitar-work, with dabbles and dashes of electronica. Years past its acceptability, or perhaps years prior to it. It might just go right above the heads of many "Ta Ra Rum Pum"-type music lovers.
A lot of the tracks need to grow on you, as does the fact that its a complete sausage fest with no female singers at all. Pritam has outdone himself to the hilt, though.
The track that really stands out is 'In Dinon', sung by the Sa Re Ga Ma dude, Soham. Very reminiscent of Zubeen Garg. Almost feels like the song was written for Zubeen. But an awesome composition - very tastefully sung. Can't help but notice the Champagne-Supernova-influenced harmonica solo, around 03:55 of the song.
Soundtracks like LIAM (or should I say LIA....M) are necessary to break the mould sometimes. Just about when you have had it with Ladka-ladki-prem-aggan type songs, you have something like this to make you feel that .. its not so bad .. not so bad at all.
