Raja's Gems - the latest one you heard...Part 3

[Sureshs65]

V_S,

What freakout song. Amazing. Hearing it for the first time.

[app_engine]

Hearing it for the first time.

:shock:

:lol:

Sureshji, this is from the famous Kamalahasan movie "oru kaidhiyin diary" (story by Bagyaraj, directed by Bharathiraja), that also had 'ABC nee vAsi' & 'pon mAnE, kObam EnO' songs...featured two Kamals, Radha, Revathy & 3 villains :-) Malaysia Vasudevan acted as the main villain...

Haven't you watched the movie?

[V_S]

Thanks Suresh ji! A freaky in all aspects. I posted that song as I was also hearing that song after many years. Also this song is easily shadowed by other two songs, that's why I used to have the other two songs in my playlists, but not this one. Now after listening to it, could not escape to other two songs, so addictive. :smile:

[Plum]

What song is this for us youtube-denied?

[V_S]

Plum,
The song is Idhu ROsaa Poovu from Oru Kaidhiyin Diary. May be its because I didn't make the youtube video public, I have changed it now. Please try now. But it is not a video, just the song with some Maestro's clips.

app,

:D

I am aware of 'ABC' and 'ponmAne' but haven't heard this song. While I do know about the movie and Bhagyaraj's involvement, I haven't watched the movie. Somehow never been a great movie watcher. One of the few guys, who had lived in Hyderabad and not watched 'Sholay'!!! Even today people can't believe it. I have not watched most of the standards, 'Sholay', 'Maine Pyrar Kiya', 'QSQT','DDLJ' etc. So in a way my film watching is much worse than the song listening :)

end of the day ..., I just need a Song break to relax before hitting bed.

I am kind of in a mood for nostalgic with a touch of pathos longing.

That's why Sureshji is an interesting character. That's why I invited him to be the guest of the month for interrogation. Ellorum support pannunga - ivarai kaiya pudichi izhuthuralaam...sureshji, accept the invite.

Due to my previous non-acquaintance (and hence the inability to post about), the following song won't get featured in the SPB-IR thread.

I heard the song for the first time today and loved it so much - so, it at least deserves a post here :-)

Don't miss this "kacha-mucha" song where SPB-IR combined to create a rocking dappAnguththu :

unintelligble pallavi words, song from the RVU movie 'uRudhi mozhi' that had another lovable PJ/SJ number 'adhikAlai nilavE' (http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3843'&lang=en)

Hi app_engine:

Here's the Adhikaalai Nilave Alangara Silaiye song from Uruthi Mozhi that I uploaded long time ago on Youtube. Here's the video in case you haven't come across it yet:

Uruthi Mozhi - Adhikaalai Nilave Alangaara Silaiye


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTnP1lrCKoo

[San_K]

Vettaveli pottalilE is my most favorite song in "Nalla Naal". I heard this song recently only (few years back in a TV). Ketta vudan kapppunu pidichathu. Ofcourse this has elder sister "Maaman Machan" and younger sister "Kattukkule".

The connection equation is like

"Searching + Mystery" Raja ==> "Mystery + Ghost" Raja ==> "Ghost + Funny" Raja


Hail raja :)

[Devaraagam]

I started listening the album kannukullae...totally forgot the songs and will back with good number from that album :)

[Devaraagam]

nice experience to listening engey nee sendralum from kannukullae with full volume in head phone. majestic orchestration.

[Devaraagam]

oh..it seems movie got released and able to find video of engey nee sendralum..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtEY9sswfvY

Hmm...only IR music cannot made good video :)

[Devaraagam]

Listening audio (engey nee sendralum) alone gives me good visuals..

[Devaraagam]

Now moved to Kattumarakan..one of the nice album and poor narration by P.Vasu and RR done by Deva. yet another album dominated by Mano in the singers list.

MY picks are

1. akkarai illa enga
2. kathum kadal
3. vetri vetri.

Now a days I am missing the lovely chorus in even IR (very rarely it comes out like dhoni ..thanthanatha.....the one I liked recently)

[Devaraagam]

Now moved to my evergreen album "Annanukku Jey". wonderful rendition of SPB, MV, Chitra. I used to forget everything when I start listening this album.

http://www.thiraipaadal.com/album.php?ALBID=ALBIRR00050&lang=en

1. annanukku Jey - SPB alumbu to the core...
2. Sokkanukku - Nice melody and soulful rendition from chitra and uma ramanan
3. enakkuoru Magan - SPB with different mood and how he can give shows the feeling with 100%.
4. ponnumani - Nice rythem and tempo
5. solai Ilangiliey - none other than MV can't justify this song.


what to do..oriental released only the above 5 songs in the CD.

Hi,

I uploaded all the songs from Annanukku Jey long time ago on Youtube. I think that many of my earlier uploads may have gone unnoticed by IR fans like you. Here are the 3 hit songs from Annanukku Jey that I uploaded almost a year ago. Enjoy!

ஒரு தெம்மாங்கு பின்னணியில் சோக கீதம். காதலன் காதலிக்கு காற்றிலே தன் ஏக்கத்தை ஏற்றி தூது சொல்லி பாடுகிறான். அந்த மைய இழையோடு காதலுக்கு துணையாக இருக்கும் வயதானவரின் இளமைக்கால காதல் குதூகலங்களையும் பதிந்து விட்டு போகணும். சோகத்தின் ஆதாரமாக ஒரு மகிழ்ச்சிக்கான தாளக்கட்டை தேர்ந்தெடுத்து தனக்கே உரிய முத்திரையில் ரொம்ப அழகா இந்த பாழுங் கிணறை தாண்டியிருக்கிறார் ராஜா! "காம்பினுள் பசும்பால் கறந்தால் அதுவா சாதனை? கொம்பிலும் நான் பால் கரைப்பேன் அதுதான் சாதனை!" என்ற வைரமுத்து வரிகள்தான் உடனே ஞாபகத்திற்கு வருகிறது. இப்ப உள்ள இசையமைப்பாளர்களிடம் இந்த சூழ்நிலையை சொல்லி பாடல் தரச் சொன்னால், ஒன்றுக்கு இரண்டாக கிடைக்கும் :)

Kaiyetha Kombatho from Vinodhayathra. Can there be a song any sweeter than this? I seriously doubt that. Right from the prelude the sweetness is sustained in the tune, orchestration in every second. Simply love KJY's rendition and I like Manjari's version as well which has its own innocence. Vinodhayathra is a late discovery for me even though I have heard IR's more recent Malayalam works.

[Divine22]

RR, that was fast :mrgreen:

[Gregorysab]

Munnam Seidha: http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3959'&lang=en from Vanaja Girija! What an unusual song! One of the instances where Raaja used programmed loops without much any variations. But the tune is indeed beautiful! i wonder which raagam is this. need to play and check!

[Sureshs65]

rajkumar,
Aaaha. If it were not for 'kunnathe' I would easily said that 'kaiyetha' was the best female solo of MFM in the first decade of this century. It is class. Whenever I get into debates about 80s Raja and the current Raja, I always point to this song and ask, "Is it any less than the 80s beauties"? :) I personally like Manjari's version more (that was used in the movie as well). Jesudas sounds a bit strained. Overall a song to die for.

[Sureshs65]

Who would ever think that an unheard of movie with a quirky name as 'Maamiyar Veedu' would contain such an outstanding gem. Been in a loop for the past few days. (And the tabla love app_eng will fall in love with this for sure, if he hasn't heard it already!!)

Yes, Sureshji - a great song and I've heard many times before but without knowing the name of the movie :-)

KJY-SJ-IR, not a single song in this combo I can dislike:-) (tablA additional bonus)

[app_engine]

Munnam Seidha: the tune is indeed beautiful!

Fell in love with the munnam seitha thavam song only recently (within the last couple of years) and not at the time of arrival! pullarips melody!

[Devaraagam]

Sureshji..you can consider the following solos from Manjari along with "keyatha"

1. Aatrin karaiyorathu(rasathantram)\
2. Ponna Porantha (chidambarathil oru appasami - reamke of srinivasan's malayalam movie)

Hey everyone,

I recently uploaded this very rare and hit song from the combination of Maestro Ilayaraja - S.P.Balasubramaniam - P.Susheela - S.Janaki. The song is "Naan Oru Ponnoviyam Kanden Ethire" from "Kannil Theriyum Kathaigal". Enjoy everyone!

I will be uploading many more rare and hit Ilayaraja songs over the next few days.

iLamanathu pala kaNavu from Selvi - http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR3258'&lang=en

This has been the song on my lips (konjam kashtam dhaan, irundhaalum) for the past few days. Apart from the bass guitar, the Raaja flute esp. in the prelude (best enjoyed with closed eyes, forming your own imagery - can be quite difficult if you have seen the video though) is stunning.

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

Naai paattu :lol: me and VoIP use to listen this for whole day. Whatte saang ya :notworthy: There is also an instrumental version for this.

[thumburu]

"NenjukkuL poo manjangaL nee itta nEram" from "SAttai illAdha bambaram" - borne out of Raja's most innovative phase. What impress me are the trumpets on a roll, fancy guitar , Janaki and the groovy beats, all depicting a kind of nonchalance and foot-loose ness. The flute tid bits is the fringe benefit.

Vairamuthu might have cursed Raja under his breath for this googly of a sandham, more so for Raja himself coming up with opening line with his fav nenjam manjam kottAvi invoking edhugai monai, while gleefully welcoming SG's nursery rhyming rendu kannam chandhana kinnam, pournami neram pAvai oruthi

Awesome song.. wonder how many such gems are lost from limelight !!! One of the few things I observed with rhythm instruments is IR's use of ratchets/Guiros .. I did not even know what they were called. Googled for rhythm instruments and found the right sample and instrument name.
See - http://www.compositiontoday.com/sound_bank/percussion/guiro.asp
Other instruments that I noticed are the headless tambourine/traditional cabassa (beads).

Paadu paatteduththu from En Arugil Nee Irunthaal - http://www.thiraipaadal.com/album.php?ALBID=ALBIRR00132&lang=en

Rambunctious song spoiled by the choice of singers. I don't hate Mano like some of you do here, but he is definitely a misfit. I don't even know what to say about Uma R in this song. Especially the way she sings 'Jolly' is :lol: Great song though. First time for me. I have listened to Oh UnnaalE Naan peNNaanEn before.

[AravindMano]

pon veyililE - oru yAthramozhi. If they name tracks in English as well, I would have called this as Wings Of Violins. The way the first interlude breaks open and the way the violins spread their wings between kAlthaLagaLum.. kai vaLagaLum.. louly. The primary take away from this song for me.

The pallavi rather begins nothing extraordinary but that turn at kuRumbERum kuruvAlan is so sweet that it gets me every single time humming along. This song came in 1997? Even after twenty years of making melody - making a pleasing lovely melody again, vAngittu vandha varam. Second interlude has synth and loops and all.

Not liking this Sreekumar. Chithra is sweet as ever.

[Sureshs65]

AM,

The whole of 'oru yathramozhi' is stupendous. This song, 'thaimavin thanalil', 'erikanal kaatril' and 'majulum'. My wife's aunt had come once to Blore visiting and after she heard the songs, she asked for the tape. I gave it to her. I was lucky that I got another copy of the tape. I heard 'kaakala kannamma' song was major hit in Kerala. My wife's favorite album as well.

'siru kootula' from 'Pandinaattu Thangam'. What an amazing beauty. To think such songs went unappreciated brings blood tears.

Siru Kootila is such a stunning Kalyani..
First time hear for me and im just loving it ..

The beats in tisram , Chitra's rendition and the orchestration make it such a beauty ..

[skr]

An absolutely fantabulous composition , his 70s compositions are just so special , soaked in melody with a hindustani touch .
I guess this must be his 1st composition where he has used Misram.
Once you stumble into his 70s its difficult to go beyond this phase :-)*
Vintage magic of the highest order ..

Enna solreenga ji :-) Siru koottula was a big hit at the time of arrival and still *mildly* popular. Chitra the sweetest :-) :-) The Santoor/keyboard/flute call-response in the first interlude is something to die for.

Thamks skr for the link to "chellla piLLai". I was humming this song few weeks back and very badly wanted to listen. But had no clue of the movie name.
I agree with Nerd when he says PAndi NAttu Thangam songs were popular , esp "Un manasula pAttu thaan" and "siru kootula"
Very interesting tea kadaiyil varum Geetham Usha. I too find it amusing why men get paranoid when they spot us in the vicinity of tea kadai as if it is only their birthright and idhula oru vethu presteeeege vera like the guy who stayed close to my hostel chided me "enna idhu kanda tea kadaila ellaam poi tea saaptundu. cha!! naa vena enga veetlendhu dhino paalo ,coffee yo anupparen". Avanukku enna theriyum enga hostel magimai or the pleasure of drinking Raja's songs along with Road side tea and bisxuits.

[Sureshs65]

Nerd / Thumburu,

My bad. I heard this song only a couple of months the first time (I have hear 'en manasula' earlier) and assumed this was not popular. Haven't heard it in Hyd. I now stand corrected.

Usha Madam,

Like app, you must also start one thread wherein you can post in your life experience along with the song. I am sure it will be interesting.

thumburu,

" pleasure of drinking Raja's songs along with Road side tea and bisxuits." Roger that.

"I too find it amusing why men get paranoid when they spot us in the vicinity of tea kadai as if it is only their birthright and idhula oru vethu presteeeege vera " - ha ha you folks should start a "Women for SideWalk Tea Shops" org :-) My wife would join too .. I had the exactly same reaction when my wife said she used to drink at a tea shop near her cramming center while preparing for the Nursing Boards exams in Chennai. You women folk should not misunderstand us men.. just some traditional chivalry and caring for our woman that is all :-)
I love the masala tea at the "gundamma" tea shop near Gandhi mantapam (Adyar Road ?).. and the young fellow used to keep track of how many biscuits each person is grabbing from the glass jar .. there was no music though. But the music with tea was there in my home town..

Vaanam thodadha is my favourite!!! A song that I would put in the same level as "Ninnu Kori Varnam", though many might disagree! Vaanam Thodadha has amazing executed interludes, brilliant stuff on keyboards and great bass-work! A song, that is complete mismatch with picturisation because song is ahead of its times, in my opinion.

You might have listened to Oh Vennilaave, Oru KiLi Uruguthu, Thaamarai Kodi and Oomai Nenjin Osai from Aananda Gummi with SPB and SJ doing a cakewalk, but this song is not mostly heard even those days. Once you hear, it will be your dearest. I am not sure if it is a title song. The opening santhoor and sober flute tells us what this song is going to be. One of Raja's best solo. The solo violin and flute in the interludes tells us the whole story. :notworthy: Simple and friendly tune yet Raja brings the depth with his phenomenal singing and drowning orchestration. What a singer! Very under-rated singer of all time.

I was searching for a good quality, found one recently from Love is Pain album. Aptly titled and some great songs in this album.

'isai mEdaiyil' antidote this AM to 'vA vA vA - neeththAn en kuRinjippoo' of 3 :-)

This SPB-SJ wonder should rank among the "all-time-great-top-songs-of-IR"!

Fantastic melody, superb singing and outstanding orchestration!

"Cool sounding" too, even after a quarter century! (The song may not even have great recording - I doubt if stereo even - but what a terrific rhythm arrangement for the saraNam - exclusive rAsA style! Pallavi may have old-sounding-bango-rhythm but very effective to make it a "running" kind of song...add some freaky chords and rAsA special melodic bass...killer song!)

Good one (though i dislike that absolutely-flat-voiced-expressionless-Preeti-Uttam..). The arrangements are actually more techno in measure, than usual Raaja, surprisingly.

[Sureshs65]

Kamal,

Yes, Preet isn't the optimal voice for this song. And lot of techno in this. The other song from this movie, 'arumbu thalire' is a beauty as well.

[rajkumarc]

I was listening to Vegam Vegam from Anjali with my 4yr old. I told her a little bit about the background of the song with the kids flying in a bi-cycle and all that. At the end of the song, I asked her how do you feel about the song. I was stunned by the answer - "Appa, I felt like I'm going on a magic journey". I feel the same too whenever I listen. Amazing song this one and my favorite from Anjali. I can never listen to this without hitting the repeat button a couple of times.

Ennullle Ennulle from Valli sung by Swarnalatha. Goosebump stuff, doesn't fail to leave you in awe every time you listen. Beyond the eroticism, this song invokes an inexplicable feeling of both bliss and sorrow, don't know why. Swarnalatha's best song IMO.

Kind request to V_S to write in detail about this song, whenever you can sir.

Nothing but wind - peace packaged in musical pieces. :musicsmile:

[V_S]

rajkumarc,
Thanks. :smile: I will definitely write about it. I know there are lot pending from my side. I am little slow, please bear with me.

Yesterday I was listening to this stunner non-stop for atleast an hour. It brings back lot of good memories. The film itself is revolutionary in concept considering it was filmed in 80's, but badly executed. Since IR was there and one of my favorite actress Saritha acted, I happened to watch it, but don't remember much now. Radha Ravi and Pandiyarajan starrer. When I was listening to the song, I went into search mode to find the video and found this title song. Spectacular visuals! With bullock carts and reddish soil, we can feel the smell of our land and with Raja's voice pitching in, what more authentic native composition can we ask for?

One of the beauty of the song is in first interlude, where Sasirekha (I think) sings a phrase only with bullock's sound and no other instrument
at the background. How could he even think of such an idea. :notworthy: Remember they cry randomly with no rhythm or pattern, and how he used it effectively is the hallmark of the genius.

Wonderful composition; Chittukkuruvi paaru from Vaazhga VaLarga.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=owxzYr7wR3c (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owxzYr7wR3c)

Since this song didn't capture many hearts that time, he wanted to reinvent and glorify the song again in 90s, which became a blockbuster of a song. I believe you can find that song.

P_R,

:shock: that I've missed such a lovely song for so long :-(

MV-SJ, great combo and what a lovely melody (I'm sure it called for singers of such calibre to render a tough song like this! pA-rA, the writer who is supposedly learning to play piano and finding rAsA's songs the most difficult, can have this song as an exercise :wink: The "karuppu" keys are often resented by my 19 year old and this song sure has many of them as per my siRRaRivu :lol2: )

The song that followed this in the van's HDD completely reset the whole thrill - another song that I used to skip and today wanted to give a complete listen - 'allA un ANaippadi' from chandralEkhA :-(

What could have been a great number had been thoroughly massacred by three elements : male singer (1st prize), tsk-tsk sound in percussion (2nd prize) and female singer (3rd prize). No wonder rAsA ceased to be the trend-setter during 90's :oops:

இளையராஜா வைரமுத்து பிரிவுக்கு என்ன காரணம்?
என்று நிறைய நண்பர்கள் கேட்க நாங்கள் ஆராயந்ததில் எங்களுக்கு கிடைத்த சில தகவல் உங்களுக்காக. ஈகோ பிரச்சனையா? கொஞ்சம் அலசித்தான் பார்க்கலாமே!

இளையராஜாவின் இசையில் தொடர்ந்து பல பாடல்களுக்கு பாடல் எழுதும் வாய்ப்பு என பிஸியாக சென்று கொண்டிருந்த இந்த பயனத்தில் விரிசல் விழத்தொடங்கியது;

வைரமுத்து பிற இசையமைப்பாளர்களின் படங்களுக்கும் அதிகமாக எழுத்தொடங்கிய போதுதான். அதுவரை ஒலிப்பதிவின் போது சரியான நேரத்திற்கு வந்து தேவைப்பட்ட நேரத்தில் பாடல்வரிகளின் திருத்தத்திற்கு பெரும் உதவியாக இருந்த வைரமுத்துவால் சரியாக ஒலிப்பதிவிற்கு வரமுடியாமல் போனதால் உரசல் உண்டாகி அது நாளடைவில் ஒருவரை ஒருவர் சமயம் கிடைக்கும் போது தாக்கிக்கொள்ளும் அளவிற்கு பெரியதாகியது.

அடுத்ததாக பாடல் வரிகளில் இளையராஜா தலையிட்டு மாற்றச்சொல்வது; அந்த விரிசலை மேலும் பெரியதாக்கியது.

உதாரணமாக “சிந்து பைரவியில்” வைரமுத்து எழுதிய பல்லவியை மாற்றிவிட்டு கிராமிய பாடலில் இருந்து இளையராஜா எடுத்து போட்ட பல்லவிதான் “பாடறியேன் படிப்பறியேன்” என்ற பல்லவி. இந்த கிராமிய பாடலின் பல்லவியை “புதிய வார்ப்புகள்” படத்திலும் நீங்கள் கேட்கலாம்.

விரிசல் பெரிசாக பெரிசாக ஒருவர் பலவீனத்தை இன்னொருவர் இனம் கண்டு தாக்க அது மனஸ்தாபமாய் உருவெடுத்தது, உதாரணமாக வைரமுத்துவிற்கு எப்போதுமே ஒரு படத்தில் உள்ள அனைத்து பாடல்களையும் தானே எழுதவேண்டும் (படத்தின் கேஸ்ட்/ரெக்கார்டில் போட்டோ, டைட்டில் கார்டு, போஸ்டர் விளம்பரத்தில் தனித்து தெரிவது) என்பது விருப்பமாய் இருக்கும். இதை அவரே பலமுறை தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

இந்த சூழலில் தாய்க்கொரு தாலாட்டு படத்திற்கு முழுப்பாடலையும் எழுத வைரமுத்து ஒப்பந்தமாகிறார் பாடல்கள் எல்லாம் ஒலிப்பதிவாகி படமாக்கப்பட்ட பின்னர்; ரீ-ரெக்கார்டிங்கின் போது மேலும் ஒரு பாடலை சேர்த்து அதை கவிஞர் வாலியை வைத்து எழுதச்சொல்லி; பாடல்கள் – வைரமுத்து என்ற டைட்டில் கார்டை பாடல்கள் – வாலி,வைரமுத்து (ஒரு பாட்டு எழுதினாலும் வாலி சீனியர் ஆச்சே வாலி பெயர்தானே முதலில் வரவேண்டும்) என்று மாற்றுகிறார் இளையராஜா. இளையராஜா இவ்வாறு நடந்து கொள்ள என்ன காரணம்? இந்த படத்தின் பாடல் கம்போஸிங்கின் போது “இளமைக்காலம் – என்ற புதியபறவை” பாடல் ரீமிக்ஸின் வரிகளில் “பழைய பாடல் போல புதிய பாடல் இல்லை” என்று வரிகளில் வைரமுத்து வார்த்தை ஜாலம் புரிந்து இளையராஜாவை கோபப்படுத்தியதே காரணம்.

இதே போல்தான் சிந்துபைரவி டைட்டில் கார்டிலும் பிரச்சனை; “தென்றலது கண்டதுண்டு திங்களது கண்டதில்லை, மனம்தான் பார்வை” என்ற வாலி எழுதிய இரண்டு வரிகளுக்காக, வாலியின் பெயரை தியாகராஜசுவாமிகள், பாரதியார், ஆகியோருடன் சேர்த்து ஒரு டைட்டில் கார்டுடாகவும், பாடல்கள் – வைரமுத்து என்று வைரமுத்திற்கு தனி டைட்டில் கார்டு போட்டு பிரச்சனையை பாலச்சந்தர் சமாளித்திருப்பார்.

கடைசியாக இவை எல்லாம் சேர்ந்து ஒரு நாள் “இசை பாடும் தென்றல்” படப்பாடல் கம்போஸிங்கின் போது மோதலாக வெடித்தது. “எந்தன் கைக்குட்டையை யார் எடுத்தது” பாடலுக்கு வரியை எழுதி வைரமுத்து இளையராஜாவிடம் காட்ட, “என்னய்யா பாட்டு எழுதச்சொன்னா, உரைநடை எழுதியிருக்க? இப்ப பாரு நான் எழுதுறேன்” என்று தான் எழுதிய பாடலை இளையராஜா வைரமுத்துவிடம் காண்பிக்க, வைரமுத்து “prose மாதிரி இருக்கு” என்று கூறிவிட்டு கோபமாக அந்த அறையில் இருந்து உடனடியாக வெளியேறிவிட்டார். அதன் பின்னர் எத்தனையோ போர் எவ்வளோவிதமாக சமாதானம் செய்தும் பலனேதும் இல்லை.

இப்போது கூறுங்கள் இளையராஜா வைரமுத்து பிரிவுக்கு என்ன காரணம்?

Possessiveness.

Here is SuddhasAveri in all her resplendence - “ sugham sughame” – “Naan pOtta savaal” . When Vani and MV exhibit such pure joy and relish while singing, is it any surprise that the listener partakes in the whole scheme ?
Raja lavishly spreads the santhoor right from the start, interludes , line endings in the charanams. I miss this badly apart from flute in the current Raja. Santhoor always marked an early Raja number for me – sAmakozhi, chinna kannan, aathu mEttula ...
Those unhurried days, we were fortunate – 3 exotic interludes without accounting the bonus prelude, replete with flute, violins, guitars , santhoor , humming , all of them getting their due in an uncluttered way

Thanks a lot skr and the uploader for Hello Jai Hind songs. :clap: Truly mesmerizing songs. After long long time, getting in touch with Marathi people through this soundtrack. Beautiful language. Listening one by one slowly. I am hooked into Hariharan's Ganjalelya Saavaleela. A haunting one! The short prelude followed by Hariharan's gentle start suffixed with brilliant vibrating violins. Hariharan's Marathi pronunciation is very good. Charanam is more pleasant. A blinder of a tune.:notworthy: Visuals very captivating. Brilliantly done! With the video, the composition gets complete. In first interlude @1.27 please hear how Maestro brilliantly changes the scale. In the second interlude, when he says, 'I don't want to die eating medicines, I want to die eating bullets', observe the background score there. Stunning! The flute is answering and nodding his views followed by that female humming (no words to describe the beauty :notworthy:) ]. All this sets up a mellow atmosphere in the family, yet Maestro also brings the crowded mileu of Mumbai through his music, extremely well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4ycEcONzdY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=v4ycEcONzdY)

I don't know how Maestro comfortably gets into Marathi way of life and their region, right from the first note in his first film. Maestro's fantastic and memorable Marathi debut!. Hariharan sir, Sabaash! I am literally in tears listening this composition.

Everything about this song is just a sheer delight ..Salad days , IR in replete WCM form ..The sounds of the marching drum , those violins traversing across octaves , the flute prancing joyfully , the la la chorus in the background , the sounds of the bell ,major scale blues, S Janaki's brilliant rendition all transport you to Euro Land in a whisker . 3 and a half minutes of sheer ecstacy and joy.This is Western Classical Music or rather World Class Music at its most enjoyable form.

Been completely hooked to the compilation albums ‘solla solla’ and ‘fire star’ for the past few days (nandri v_sji, wizzman).
What a daring, varied and absurd assortment of songs! It’s one thing to take immensely popular numbers, package as an album and pass it off as ‘hits’; the motive being, quite apparently, only commercial. Picking songs that aren’t well-known (some, even among Raaja fans, I’ll bet) based on the musicality of each song, revving up the sound quality to delicious levels and cutting an album – now, that’s wholesome dedication! Redefining awesomeness! :clap: :clap: :clap:

‘Solla solla’ is a live instruments arusuvai virundhu. :bow:. Guitars (electric, acoustic), bass, drums, trumpets, flute, tribal drums and more; wicked concoction of all this with the man’s classy tunes. Dheiveega malam! You-gotta-hear-it-to-believe-it brilliance! :green green words:

‘Fire star’, on the other hand, is freaky, funky exploration of synth; early expeditions of the man in this territory I imagine. One can sense a degree of crudeness, a lack of ‘refinement and distillation’ in the songs and sounds; but in some strange way, that’s what works for the album. Kitsch - exactly how the company is marketing it.

I’ll bet my buck that there’s a theevira raaja rasigan (and someone with a fine taste of music) at the core of this ‘underground group’. Enquiry commission pOdunga pa! Here’s someone who can be the perfect caretaker of the Man’s priceless creations of art. :reverence:

[wizzy]

^Fire Star is a different beast..The work they have done on Pala Raathiri track :bow:..I have traversed through its sonic transformation from rm to this one..unbelievable work on the bass around 56sec.. vaaipillamai..buy/steal a good IEM to feel the difference ;-)

Yes KV and wizzy. I am totally in shock how in first place they picked up these rare gems instead of the popular ones and second, how did they achieve this much perfection in quality. Through them, we come to hear all these nuances which we have never heard. Every composition takes us to new world, but I have to tell this one, second#, Rani Mangamma by Mano is brilliant as ever. Very freaky!

rajkumarc,
Thanks. :smile: I will definitely write about it. I know there are lot pending from my side. I am little slow, please bear with me.

Yesterday I was listening to this stunner non-stop for atleast an hour. It brings back lot of good memories. The film itself is revolutionary in concept considering it was filmed in 80's, but badly executed. Since IR was there and one of my favorite actress Saritha acted, I happened to watch it, but don't remember much now. Radha Ravi and Pandiyarajan starrer. When I was listening to the song, I went into search mode to find the video and found this title song. Spectacular visuals! With bullock carts and reddish soil, we can feel the smell of our land and with Raja's voice pitching in, what more authentic native composition can we ask for?

One of the beauty of the song is in first interlude, where Sasirekha (I think) sings a phrase only with bullock's sound and no other instrument
at the background. How could he even think of such an idea. :notworthy: Remember they cry randomly with no rhythm or pattern, and how he used it effectively is the hallmark of the genius.

Wonderful composition; Chittukkuruvi paaru from Vaazhga VaLarga.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=owxzYr7wR3c (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owxzYr7wR3c)

Since this song didn't capture many hearts that time, he wanted to reinvent and glorify the song again in 90s, which became a blockbuster of a song. I believe you can find that song.



VS, recent time..i m listing this song frequently as the lyric completely abt sittu kuruvi and they way IR rending, I liked but did not noticed the beauties mentioned by you. whats the song came 90'S?

Moreover I thought since the songs are available in indian cinema, we are getting lot of emotions and genre in songs when compare to other part of the world.

Absolutely true! Especially we Indians are truly gifted to have ears to listen and appreciate every music around the world, which I hardly find that in other countries. That's the reason music directors are finding way difficult to satisfy we listeners. Glad you asked about the 90's composition. I found KaNNu pada pOguthaiya from Chinna Gounder is very close to this song.

Listening to 'Angel Angel' and 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna' here. 'Angel Angel' is a song to die for. Sort of the song which anyone would want to sing to his/her Angel.

Revisited some segments of MMKR yesterday..
The scene where Crazy venkatesh and ponnambalam follow madhan and then get diverted to follow Kaameshwaran - Kamal and crazy in full form is a given.
But a close scrutiny of music opens up a revelation!!
While the "madhan follow" scene is in progress - the music is all jazz and brass - cool..
Then Kaameshwaran crosses path - small shift in the BGM as the followers contemplate- then they begin following kaameshwaran - now the music is all funky carnatic - flute violin and mridhangam full flow - ending in the signal - the "closing theermaanam" - is a carnatic delight with morsing joining in...
It appears as if Kamal and Raaja had a script level discussion on how this scene is going to be edited - but it is not the case - Raaja simply scored for the completed and edited scene and it came out extempore - Just like that and that is pure genius all abound - from Kamal writing it, crazy dialoguing it up and Raaja completing it.. Immense delight.

nice, Jai!

tonight will pull my MMKR - DVD and enjoy the scene!

Sitting at office, immersed in work, with my headphones on. 'Solla solla' starts playing. The bassline kicks in. Automatically, even before I can realize, I swear, and it's so loud that it draws stares from the adjacent cubes. NSFW! :oops:

From the other thread...
my post!


I hope IR of 2012 will give couple of compositions in NEPV for me to revere or go awe like Ninaivellam Nithya or Agni natchathiram!:musicsmile:

when I admire needhane pon vasantham...NN,
I admire Kavingar Vairamuthu and Bala equally and thank them for being there for IR!:ty:

I am a content fan, IR!

where did I tease you?

It's my wish to IR to give me at least couple of songs like this for me to cherish rest of my life!

If he gives, I am a content fan, IR! that's what I have posted.

Everything about that composition including Vairamuthu's varigal and Bala's singing, I adore, so I am grateful to them.

(If team of NEPV gives couple of songs for me to cherish), I am content fan raja. that's all.

ever since I read somewhere, singer Karthik works at NEVP & all those live mega orchestration etc.. I longingly ukkandhu erukken, super aa onnu rendu kedaikkumnnu!:-D

Superb pick grouch! :clap: For that brisk arrangements, the melody is a little sober one, especially the start after that racy prelude. That's the unpredictability! Crazy and freaky interludes with phasers, horns, bass guitar, acoustic drums. The rock guitar with trumpet during the first interlude is top notch! Sound of guitar in second interlude is never heard before. P Susheela's voice and singing is icing on the cake. Ultimate experience! Thanks grouch!

Listening to Ponveyilile from Oru Yaatra Mozhi. A stunning composition. Raaja achieved a fine balance between acoustic instruments and electronic stuff, more in Malayalam films I think, compared to Tamil films (in the 1997-2004) period. Even the melodies were better in Malayalam. There were exceptions in Tamil, but the Malayalam films in the period are a class of their own (compare the synth in this song with the synth in aalaapani seiyum song or even the hariharan song in nilave mugam kaattu - This malayalam song shows more of intrinsic character of raaja's school of thought). The way the strings section breezes through the charanams in this song - classy! The harmonies used by Raaja in this song are so different from the tamil songs he dished out in that period. The pace of the song and its melodic quality - beauty! Raaja :2thumbsup:

Nee Thoongum Nerathil - 2003 Ilaiyaraja

http://www.raaga.com/channels/tamil/moviedetail.asp?mid=t0000475

What a song, wonderful feel it gives. One of the best Hariharan songs ever. This and Iniya Naal are delightful compositions. Another song, Ilaiya nathi, was also a hit. Ofcourse I like all the songs. Album was hit despite the movie bombed at BO.

[San_K]

Forget to add in above post

Sadhana Sargam listened 20 (less or more) times this song after it was composed since she bowled over by this scientilatting composition. Another favourite of mine is Jodikkili

Currently listening the superb 1000 crore sun song. IR + HH combo songs are just brilliant

[Sureshs65]

San_K,

The 1000 crore sun song is super but the best song in that album, 'sky seeing land' by Raja.

'engE irundhAy isaiyE' (I think the movie's name is ajanthA) - duet KJY & some female singer whose voice cannot be identified :oops:

Once upon a time I copied this into a CD (based on hub reco ofcourse) but never before could get past the initial portion :oops: 'eppadi irundha KJY ippadi AyittArE' painful feeling prohibited me from listening to the song in full in my earlier attempts, hand reaching out to the skip button invariably.

Like the lazy manner in which one day I allowed 'bus Ek tamannA hai', today I let this song continue and was stunned by the 'smooth-jazzy' second interlude!

Once again up-ping expectations for NEPV :wink:

My current playlist is actually a compilation of my favourite songs of Raaja in the last 10 years. I compiled this mp3 cd with songs in the 2002-2012 period. Ofcourse I could not put all albums/songs but selected the best of each album. Compiling this cd was a difficult task because of the 700MB limit on mp3 cd :-) I had to ignore some of the songs despite liking them equally as few others. But nevertheless, it is a good compilation. enjoyable!
