JUST FOR THE RECORD is a series of workshops that aim to explore contemporary music production and recording techniques and simplify them for musicians.  The workshops will also delve into the latest and most effective tools for music marketing. While there have been many exciting developments in the fields of music production over the last decade, a majority of Indian musicians still use dated techniques and spend undue amounts of time and money producing music that’s nowhere near international standards. JUST FOR THE RECORD will feature interactions with several music industry professionals and give musicians an insight into producing and promoting world-class music. The worshops will include demos of LOGIC STUDIO, a production software that most musicians rely on today. The conferences will conclude in each city with an exciting live performance by a leading band.

The ethnic spirit and the global rock (stars) are back with yet another solid soundtrack. Yes I’m talking about MOTHERJANE, the band which ROCK STREET JOURNAL describes as the best act of the decade and they’re back with the OST for Amal Neerad’s movie “Anwar”. As I always thought that when concerned about the songwriting MOTHERJANE is probably the best band in the country and with the kind of lyrics in JIHAD they proved my thoughts right again. From MINDSTREET to MAYA to TRIBES OF BABEL, MOTHERJANE always gives the example of some thoughtful, soulful and brilliant songwriting and Jihad is no exception. Right from the line “I BELIEVE IN JIHAD” to the end of the track Suraj Mani is able to grab you’re heart and soul and mind with his classical yet powerful vocals. Baiju’s guitar solos are as soulful and as melodious as ever. The touch of that “ethnic spirit” and Carnatic sound is still there like any of his other solos. John proved it once again that he is one of the country’s best drummers. The support from Clyde with his bass and Deepu with his rhythms cannot be left unnoticed.
