I agree!! i did not like shehnai song till i listened to instrumental version, I loved it!!

Swades music is no doubt good but not in lagaan league as it seems to be following same path imho!

ahasta song is good on its on merits but to me it is soar point for album consistency, as it does not follow rustic route!

Well, my opinion on swades is very much consistent with rita's opinion.

Her comments are right on money!

[/quote] have listened to the soundtrack lately and I love most tracks. The two with the Shehnai are great and "Ahista" is one of the best Indian songs I know. The use of the harp is a great touch. And the sound quality is outstanding. Listening to it on high end equipment and with digital room correction removing the room influence is a revelation.
