I was never excited for any album more than this. Yes Sampooran is out. The moment I was waiting for so long. Below are my views about this remarkable album from the remarkable band.

Sajan : The album starts with a flute of Mr.Pappu. Sajan is one slow musical track which reflects the musical skills of the composer. The song gives u the omen about the coming tracks.Simplicity is used as a weapon in this song to grab listeners attention. All I can say is a " A Beautiful Song ".

Waris Shah : Just like the previous one Mr Pappu starts the song . It is a different song, It wants to tell you something. The song has many faces and every face is an evidence of the musical skills of the band. You cannot ignore the Gumby factor in this song.Though drums r not that loud or smashing but if u pay attention. Gumby has played his role in the beauty of this song. Excellent vocals Completes the song.

Rabba : The most popular track, many people believe this is the best song of the album but its too hard to judge atleast for me. The song strengthens the magic of Sampooran. Mekaal's solo parts is realy irresistable. And the vocals can’t get better than this. Mr. Pappu enters in the song with some style and left their own mark. Once again full marks to Javed Bashir n Gumby. It hard to find their mistakes. Very professional. Most adorable part of the track was when Mekaal used his acoustic in the solo. It was visible in the video as well.

Sanwal : The track is redone by Javed Bashir and rightly so, this vocalist is more suitable and settled with the band and the song tells this itself. Mr Papppu's solo part was as good as Mekaal's solo part. Wonderfull Song, Wonderfull Music.

Sampooran : The title song of the album Sampooran has its own taste. Great keyboard work. A track, which tells you how good mekaal is in composing song. All musician works to their best in the track well supported by great classical vocals. The work of Pappu n Mekaal in the end zone is mind blowing.

Darbari : The most musical track ...... The song is rich with some gentle vocals and adorable guitaring solos. Such calliber of song coming at no 6 adds fuel to the fire of the album once gain. Amazing vocal effects combines with some magical guitar works genrates some intoxicated feelin inside the listener.

Ya Ali : One of the most difficult vocals I have ever heard , the riff changes the music dramatically , wonderfully followed by the vocalist. A Master Piece, which turned out to be a mind-blowing number in live performance. The song is really powerful lyrically as well as musically. You cannot ignore the smooth and well-suited drums provided by Peter Lockett.

Late Moon : The song is different from all the other tracks of the album. Superbly composed, it can’t get better than this. As it name suggest the song reflects the light in the darkness. Mr.Pappu has done a masterwork. Once you start listening to it you don’t want it to get stop ... simply irresistible.

In the end I like to thank Mekaal hasan Band to providing us this precious album , Great Job Guys! And I really like to Salute Mr.Pappu for his magical work in the album. If there is anyone who deserves appreciation more than any one else is Mr.Pappu. And last but not the least the prodigy behind this conjure efforts, Mekaal you r awesome.
