thatswhy IR selected the easy method of 'mettuku paatu'.
I first visited this thread only yesterday. I spent all of today to read the posts. Now I’m half way through. (Into June posts). So I don’t know the “dhandam” discussion is going on. Anyway here is my thoughts on it.
And Vijay, I agree with most of what you said.
In late 80’s and early 90’s most of the good directors who have worked with Ilayaraja earlier didn’t get any more work or Ilayaraja had some misunderstandings with some of them. This definitely had a bearing on his songs. First of all the lyrics suffered. Then slowly he started loosing ground. (That’s only in the number films he was doing)
A person who sees only the films Sivaji acted after 1978-79 (leave out a ‘Mudhal mariyathai’ here, a ‘Thevar Magan’ there), would’ve killed you if you call Sivaji as ‘Nadigar Thilagam’. Look what Amithab is doing to his career now. He is not that great actor in the first place. But he is doing only the roles suited for him and by doing so raking so much accolades from all corners. That’s what Ilayaraja should’ve done after 90’s. Instead he still dished out film after film which had lyrics which looked like newspaper columns. Only keeping the lyrics in mind, his music of the early 80’s surely stands out.
One more thing happened because of Ilayaraja scoring so many films in his peak period. It killed the competition. He did all the good films. He did all the mediocre films. (OK almost). He was not merely the No.1 - By talent he is No.1 - he was the only one.
But look at the TFM now. IMO, ARR is No.1 MD now. But you can easily counter that point, ‘coz the field is more open now. Cashing in on his popularity ARR could’ve easily done many more films. Because he refuses to do so, we get to see so many MDs. After 50’s, this is the time so many talents are working together. We can’t call this anybody’s era like we called 80s Ilayaraja’s Era.
manyu: does any one music director or sound engineer have the guts to make a film hit like IR did in his peak time as u claim now?
Even Harish jayaraj and ARR says that they want to work with only best of people and team only. What that means, all others are working with nuts and idiots according to them?
S A Rajkumar once screamed in Kumudam article that all good directors and movies are with IR hence he is not getting any chance to prove. Now what is he doing for last 10 yrs???? He is living with one hit edho oru pattu and remixing for every other movie. K Balachander promoted Mani sharma as the the most talented MD in film industry for his intro in Tamil movie, it sounded as if teasing some one at that time directly or indirectly. But at the end what happened to MD also to KB-- all were just waste.
The new MDs know only to score music on keyboards and artificial sounds nothing much to say
if anybody is interested in knowing the raagas used by IR ....
go through this site....

Though this is not exactly a `composing technique' issue, since this affects the quality of music, I think the following question can be raised in this thread...
Which of the songs in moondRam piRai had stereo recording originally? (If someone still has the LP or someother OST medium, please clarify)...
