Sony BMG’s latest release, the OST for the Pakistani film, Khuda Ke Liye, is perhaps the worst soundtrack I’ve seen yet from an international record label. I’m talking about the credits – there’s none! I wish they showed enough zeal in adding the name of composers/ singers/ lyricists as much as they did in adding ring tone codes. This soundtrack was out, outside India, mid last year – meaning, more time to get complete credits. The only two music-related credits include ‘AKS’ for arranging ‘Bandya’ and Rohail Hyatt for background music. This is irresponsible and a serious insult to the concerned artists.
Now that there’s at least one Orkut group that seems to have completely mis-read this post of mine, let me try and clear the air. When I say, ‘worst soundtrack’ I’m NOT commenting on the music. I’m referring to the fact that Sony has omitted credit to Pakistani artists who deserve their names in the CD when it is released in India. The Indian CD released by Sony BMG does not list any singer/ composer for individual songs. The point is that Sony BMG is so damn careful to include mobile ring tone download codes but have forgotten to add the most important part of an audio CD – who composed the songs? And who sang them. So, khuda ke liye, please read the post properly!
