"Yaad Hai Pancham....", Gulzar's new album, 'Chaand Parosa Hai'

"Yaad Hai Pancham....", Gulzar's new album, 'Chaand Parosa Hai'

The track title, Yaad Hai Pancham from the newly released album 'CHAAND PAROSA HAI'.

After listening to Yaad Hai Pancham, my first reaction was simply Vaah!!! Waah!!! kya attempt hai?
Gulzar once again proved his closeness to Pancham.

Back to Yaad Hai Pancham, very nicely crafted composition. I don't really understand urdu/hindi poetry but believe it's pretty difficult to compose verses. Bhupinder did a good job, specially blending Mitali's voice in the middle, brought out that Panchamish-touch. Composition is very suitable to verses, I think.

My only beef is they could've opted for full-orchestra, violins/cello with timpani etc. would've brought out more depth and emotions, specially in the closing section with "Main Akela Hoon Dund Me Pancham"....instead of keyboard and octapad, just imagine full 60+ violins strumming with chello/flute and brass/percussions...hitting with bouncy Timpani..WaaH!! Would've been a spectacular finish...just my opinion.

Leaving you with the idea....This Album with our beloved Pancham-da!!!!

Honestly I can't imagine what a treat that could've been!!!!!!
