Kooda Varuviya - Bela Shinde - The moment the prelude started I had a big smile in my face. It was a hunch like thing which said Thalaivar is venturing into uncharted territories. This songs orchestration tune and everything about is absolutely fresh and new from Raaja. The Interludes, the rhythm changes the instrumentation what shall i tell about the song.... You listen to it.
Poo Sirikuthu - Rahul Nambiar, Reeta - The beginning did fool me a bit and after the main tune and music started flowing...repeat the same What I have written for Kooda Varuviya.
Oli Tharum Sooriyan - Ilaiyaraaja, Bela Shinde - Again the Genius strikes. Nothing Like you have heard from Raaja Before! This is absolute Gem. The Synth in the Song shows he has found the right keys there!
Rekka Katti Parakuthu - Rahul Nambiar, Tippu - Kuthu maame Kuthu, Ithu Kuthu! Tha listen to orchestration. The energy this man Displays makes one believe is he ageing in the Reverse. Need to bear with Tippu till we get a Replacement :)
Thendralum Maaruthu - Shreya Ghoshal - A enjoyable song for the pleasant surprises he had sprinkled all over the song through instrumentation. Though I havent ranked any song from the album I believe this song will be in the bottom however I list them.
Achadicha Kaasa - Ilaiyaraaja - A fun filled-thathuvam filled-Hero Intro Song. Should listen more.
Ennada Paandi - Ilaiyaraaja - I Remember some days Before I was referring to 'Gaana' Songs while defending Raaja's Voice. Though I dont believe in Divine Intervention this is absolutely surprising for me personally for Raaja has exactly ventured into that genre and come out with a stunner. 'Deva' will be worried for Raaja stealing the show in this genre too. This will be written in the annals of Gaana Enthusiasts as an authentic Gaana song ever heard in Tamil cinema. I had been in many such Gaana Katcheris and can relate to this song through the Voice, instrumentation and orchestration very close to the Genre. :notworthy:
This review is from my first listen alone. This is the best of 2009 (Till now)for it makes you think whether ARR, Yuvan, HJ, all sat together to compose this :wink:
PS: Listen to the album in headphones, who doesnt want to miss the amazing sound recording, orschetration & Instrumentation.

2nd listening - Thendralum maaruthu is better :) The song has a strong Mallu Flavour and may be that was the reason I was not expecting this here in this album. The Voice of SG too sounds very close to Chithra's :|
Achadicha kaasa - has a beautiful Postlude.
Rajasaranam, you are absolutely right - as I heard the first strains of Kooda Varuviya and Oli Tharum Sooriyan, I too had a big smile on my face - just amazing, how this guy can come up with this after all these years... Even Rekka Katti is a thumping kuthu, as only Raja can come up with... Very fresh!
12bums,
Do you also feel that 'Kooda Varuviya' has the same feel of 'Kurukku siruthavale' from Muthalvan in regards to the TUNE?
Lemme wait for the people who say Raaja has got nothing new to offer with a big grin in my face :D
rajasaranam,
"Kurruku siruthavale" songs have shades of "Nallavarkellam satchingal undu" from Tyagam. You should hear the whole songs both of them to see resemblence.
Amazing album. :clap: Placing the songs after the film is completed does wonders. This is probably 10% of what he can do and that is super scary :frightened:
For those who do not want to download but just listen.

oli tharum sooriyan - the charanam begins in a very very conventional way and the way it ends in an ascending pattern, is beautiful - and all along, the strings play a layered backdrop giving a cushioning effect
will het back abt the others shortly - but IR is back this year with a vengeance - one sweet album after another!!
