I though that song was based on Raga Basant, since it is uttaranga focused and it hardly ever touches the mandra saptak, if ever.

Roja and Bombay are perhaps his all-time bests. Singing wise, "yeh jo des hai tera swades hai tera" was the best from him, next to Vande Mataram. The lyrics, tune, and his voice will definitely capture you.

One thing I like paying attention to in his songs are his musical interludes. I love the second interlude of Tu Hi Re, where the sarangi plays a bit of Kaushikdhwani in tintal and ends up in Charukeshi. Choti Si Aasha had nice interludes, especially the second interlude where ARR lent his vocals. ARR was maybe one of the very few to incorporate Hindustani/Carnatic classical with Westernized rhythm and instrumentation.

Agree with you kd. Glad you are back. Missed your comments.
ARR is the best and it was easy to see which singers are good and who are hyped. Anyway this pressure on contestants to perform is ruining their singing. They should create the atmosphere with their singing and putting emotion in their singing, not by dancing around. It is not easy task.

DIL SE for me, is by far his best piece of work

Great to see musical comments again in the forum.. Hope this continues.. Thanx all..
