Step into the time machine once again with us on "Brothers in Music: The A R Rahman Edition" as we continue our journey back to the vibrant musical landscape of A R Rahman's 1994. 
 
In Part 1, we discussed Kaadhalan and May Maadham. In Part 2, we explore three more Tamil gems:  Duet, Karuthamma and Pavithra. Duet, suffused with the imprint of the saxophone legend Kadri Gopalnath, marked a change in Rahman's musical output: it saw the birth of experimental, unstructured Rahman.  Pavithra and Karuthamma continue to remain sonic treasures for Tamil music fans. Joining us once again for this exhilarating ride is the incomparable Anand Krishnamoorthi, whose insights into the world of sound engineering and his firsthand experiences with Rahman's music add invaluable depth to our discussion.

Rahman produced two more albums that year, but in Telugu: Gangmaster and Super Police. Joining us in the discussion on Rahman's first -- and still-infrequent -- foray into Telugu cinema is another Anand, Anand Mamidipudi. We pick apart songs and rip apart choruses! 
 
As ever, there is a lot of jokes, banter and cross-talking! So buckle up as we embark on another exhilarating journey through the musical wonderland of A R Rahman. This is "Brothers in Music," and this is 1994 (Part 2).
