Dil Se.. (1998) - A.R. Rahman

Composed by A.R. Rahman with poetry by Gulzar, Dil Se.. redefined the sonic ambition of Indian cinema. From the irresistible kinetic momentum of Chaiyya Chaiyya, powered by Sukhwinder Singh's full-throated delivery and acoustic folk percussion, to the brooding trip-hop undertones of Dil Se Re and the orchestral grandeur of Satrangi Re, Rahman crafted an album-length masterpiece that thrives entirely on its own musical terms.
