உயிரோடு கலந்து விட்ட அவரது பாடல்கலை வேறு எப்படி சொல்வது?

For MV - Paattu Enge from Poovizhi Vaasalile. The way MV softens his voice and reaches higher octaves in the charanams gives me goosebumps :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Endrum Vaana VeLiyil, Aadai Kondu Aadum (similar to Aayiram thaamarai mottukkale) or Ninaithu Ninaithu (P Susheela and that second interlude with Veena, makes a beautiful number) or Raja-BSS's excellent Sollikodu, the songs are dearest to me. Since I like them a lot, I mentioned about this in another forum as well.

Endrum Vaana VeLiyil (my favorite and pick) - Starts with super confident guitar (with piano), "bestest" after Ilaya Nila. When Unni Menon starts humming, again that bass guitar chords, unbelievable!! Pallavi again is backed up by guitar riffs. But the first interlude starts surprisingly with a brisk piano and guitar followed by heavy violins. I don't know why Maestro always saves the best for second interlude. The piano run in second interlude is not we hear very often. Beautiful tune and song, but again it has become a rare gem, rather than popular. :(
In Aadai Kondu Aadum, Maestro has done a beautiful jugalbandi between Mridhangam and Guitar (what a combination!) in second interlude. After this juggle bandi is over, observe the sound of guitar, a very new sound. How he accents flute with guitar at the end of interlude, astonishing!!

The surprise bonus package (in all songs) of orchestration are mridhangam, piano and veena supporting the mighty guitar, not to forget the life line, violins.

V_S - nice find; I've not listened to this album before.
However, Aadai Kondu Aadum does have a deadlier gulty twin in the form of Vela Pala Ledu from the movie Abhilasha (not sure which one was first). SPB+SJ vocals. Need I elaborate any further to compare it with the Tamizh version? (I dont know if its just me, but I feel the guitars are much clearer in the gult version. Or maybe its the scratchy thiraipaadal copy)

KV,

'vela paala' is an amazing song indeed. Excellent tune, orchestration and wonderful energy.
