Music and Mood I
I've been witnessing MI for the past 5 yrs. My mind is full of myriad images and strong memories from each year of the fest. But the things I connect most with each MI are the songs that became part of the memories.. song performed in the pronites or songs played in the stalls:-
MI 02:-
MI 02:-
- Breathless by Shankar Mahadevan. Still remember him repeating the track twice on audience demand
- Smells like teen spirit and Another brick in the wall by Pentagram. They played some weird techno remixes of the songs but the memories still stick in my head
- Aa bhi jaa and Jaane kya dhoondta.. by Lucky Ali. Never seen a more packed OAT or a more engrossed crowd!
- Niladri instrumental piece. It became my ringtone for nearly a year
- The Trooper, Fear of the Dark by Livewire finalists. Here were sown the seeds of my lasting affair with Iron Maidens
- Like a Stone by QED. And here began my craze with Audioslave and anything remotely Grunge
- Dhol Vajda and Don't be Shy. Every stall playd these songs some fifty times a day. Quintessential dance tracks.
- Flute Song, Pyaar to hona hi tha... and other Remo numbers. Still remember the whole team gathering near the marketing gate entry to OAT and dancing together
- Run like hell. The song that Parikrama played during the sound check on the day Livewire got cancelled. Never seen emotions run so high on campus.
- PSP 12", Lucy, But it Rained, Yellow... Tsunami Livewire.. What a high!
- Aadat. The standard song on every stall and then recreated by the Mantra finalists
- Suno Naa... Shaan makes the crowd go ecstatic. The tense moments preceeding his late arrival and the high that followed thereafter are unforgettable.
- Bandeh. In the aftermath of a forgettable PAF, Indian Ocean set the night afire with their brilliance. Still remember stealing a minute to sit in the crowd, watch them play this song and watch her dance by the sound box
- Smoke on the water. Vayu provides the perfect end to the craziest four days of my life.
- Tauba tauba, Teri Deewani, Chak de phatte. Kailash Kher made me dance like never before :P
- Niladri once more. The same tunes and the same effect once again!
