Saaz was a film OST which released around 1995.\u00a0 It had music by multiple composers like Ustad Zakir Hussain, Raj Kamal and Vanraj Bhatia.\u00a0 Ustad had composed 3 tracks for this movie and all 3 had a stamp of class written all over them. The other tracks were good too but these 3 were outstanding! The tracks composed by Ustad were:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Kya Tumne Hai<\/strong>-Sung by Kavitha Subramaniam-It starts with beautiful hummings, finger sounds (thats Zakir for you!) with tabla bols and taals.\u00a0 Besides having a merry tune, the song has great rock guitar pieces and use of multiple voice layerings for Kavithaji’s voice.<\/li>\n
  2. Raat Dhalne Lagi<\/strong>-Sung by Kavitha Subramaniam-This song is what I call a vintage song because Ustad uses so many Indian sounds\/instruments making it a must-listen.\u00a0 Sarod is rarely heard in film music and this song has awesome Sarod interludes adding to the melody.<\/li>\n
  3. Phir Bhor Bhaee-<\/strong>Sung by Devki Pandit-Another very melodious number based on Raag Bageshri characterized by soothing sitar interludes. Again very PURE Indian music.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I wish Ustad had composed for more Hindi movies, though he has composed for a few movies like Mr & Mrs. Iyer. I think Saaz is Ustad’s best film music album. I searched for this album in many music shops for almost 5 years but in vain. Recently, I found it on the net and had no option but to download it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
