Kooda Varuviya... scintillating... waiting like this from the master... Thats the experience...
Forget the tune, the interludes are enough for me to listen anytime.
Kooda Varuviya - Second interlude
Pookkal Sirrikirudhu - Prelude
Oli Tharum Sooriyan - All Ludes
Achadicha Kaasa - Postlude
Super ma :notworthy: Thalaivar was always here, guess that he had to move to third gear to awaken some of us. Thalaivar has use certain genres in this album as well :D
Ramki,
You are right. This is how he would do New Age.
The only thing missing wrt the current 'New Age' are the male voice who cannot pronounce Tamil. If only Udit Narayan and Adnan Sami had sung a song each, this would probably be hailed immediately by everyone as a modern classic!!! :)
கூட வருவியா? என் கூட வருவியா?
கூட வருவியா? என் கூட வருவியா?
கைகளோடு கைகள் கோர்த்து காலம் முழுதும் விலகாமல்
பகலும் இரவும் பயணம் முழுதும் பாதை மாறிப் போகாமல்
வழித்துணை என நீயும் கடைசி வரையில் என்னோடு
கூட வருவியா? என் கூட வருவியா?
கூட வருவியா? என் கூட வருவியா?
என்னை எடுத்து உந்தன் கையில் என்று தந்தேன் என்று
இன்று நினைத்தேன் அன்று நடந்த அந்த விந்தைகளை
மலர்வனம் பூ பூப்பதும் விருந்தென தேன் தருவதும்
ஒரு மனம் ஓர் நொடியிலே தன்னை இழந்தே தவிப்பதும்
என்னவென்று புரிந்ததின்று இதற்கு எது எங்கு காரணம்
நீயில்லாமல் வாழ்க்கை ஒன்று இனியேது?
கூட வருவியா? என் கூட வருவியா?
கூட வருவியா? என் கூட வருவியா?
யாருமில்லா காதல் தீவில் உலகில் ஓர் மூலையில்
தன்னந்தனியே குடிலை அமைத்து அன்பு பரிமாறலாம்
தரை வரும் வான் தேவதையும் மழலைகள் போல் வரட்டுமே
கந்தர்வ பானங்களின் அமுதினைத் தான் தரட்டுமே
வெள்ளைப்பனியின் மலையின் ஓரம் வைர மணித்தேரின் ஊர்வலம்
கண்ணில் மின்னும் கன்னி கனவு நனவாக
கூட வருவியா? என் கூட வருவியா?
கூட வருவியா? என் கூட வருவியா?
listened just two songs
very mature top class songs and out of world compositions
looks like IR saying சின்ன பசங்கள யாருகிட்ட though his compositions :)
Poo sirrikidhu is wonderful with amazing western styled 80s rhythm (especially prelude)when he/she sings the main chorus. But polished reviewers like inetk say its exasperating synth in right amounts. Mathavanga seincha athaal path breaking genre usage. Mariyathai yellam pochu. :angry2:Quote:

2) Acheducha Kaasa: A little different (tune wise) from the usual IR's thathuva song. Single charanam song with a surprising ending music.
3) Thendralum: The synth based beat pattern is only slightly (negligibly) different from what IR generally uses for kids theme. Somehow the tune did not impress me much.
4) Rekka katti: Not a usual pettai/kindal song from IR. A catchy tune. Fusing trumpets (??) and nadaswaram in a pettai/kindal song amazed me. Singing is apt I thought, for this situation.
5) Oli tharum: Nice prelude. Everything about this song is fresh as far as IR's usual melody format is concerned. I would say he has stepped into Yuvan shoes while composing this melody. The second interlude although short is very melodious (the progression has Karthik Raja touches). IR's sings in his comfortable zone.
6) Poo sirikudhu: Liked the 70/80's beats with those trumpets, bass and all and the pallavi too. Nice pallavi tune with those harmonium taking you into the first interlude. I felt the charanam tune (and the way its sung) did not match the more modern sounding pallavi. Also, the charnam portion sort of reminded me of charanam of a song in TTLS (twinkle...).
7) Ennada paandi: A very casual tune that tells the hero to change. Situational and apt. Differently sung by IR.
Kooda, Oli, rekka, poo sirikudhu are worthy, with "Kooda Varuviya" and "Oli tharum" standing out (even in freshness). I am especially looking forward to the picturisation of these two songs.
thanks,

'Valmiki' needs careful mutliple listenings for a proper review!
thats what IR has done with this album - one song has an amazing piano prelude which is taken over by strings to great heights!! thats the IR we all know of and he is making a big statement here
this album has everything in it - melody, class, mass appeal - it has "HIT" written all over it
am awaiting some moron on rediff to give a lacklustre review of the same
There was a discussion some time back about female solos of IR, initiated by thumburu. 'Kooda Varuviya' can be added to that list now. I think the song starts as MohanaKalyani and by the time it is in the second line of the charanam it becomes a lovely Kalyani. How can this man conjure up such a fresh sounding Kalyani after having given so many Kalyanis over the years is astonishing.
'Kooda variya'
- so juicy!!!. Can't believe he can come up with stuff like that.
