Karthik, Music does not have a expiry date. A particular sound does not become outdated merely because majority of the current MD's do not use it. It all depends on if it makes the song sound good or not. I think i already said this before. To use your terminalogy Your reviews are becoming outdated(or should i say painfully archaic). Every MD has his own stock sound for certain songs and situations. IR has it too and since he spans so many years and done so many songs , it will sound the same as before whether in 80's or 90's. What we should be looking at is does it bring down the song quality or not. As long as the song sounds good and the orchestration is good it should work. Again IR may not feel the need to do experimentation in song sounds especially given the serious themes of both NK and Nandhalala. So what if IR used the same sounds from the last decade? everything is interesting when its heard for the first time. But IR has done so much that its hard to find something which is totally new and interesting. That does not mean its not good anymore. Your review gives the listeners a pretty incorrect impression. I know its just your opinion(but you do want people to read them right?) but as i said before you need to get a fresh perspective on how to review IR's albums otherwise your reviews might get outdated.
Adhellaam vidungappa..inetk has his own style..why to discuss that now..

raja_fan,

His poor recording quality still continues in this album. I don't understand what keeps him in Prasad studios till date. A better recording of this album will enhance the listening experience more. Somehow NK was better in terms of recording, I am so disappointed.
Note: This is my view. I am not here for arguments. Taste differ. If my taste is bad, so be it.
Nandalala - This may be like his late 80s or early 90s song, typical amma songs. Nothing significantly special, including Onnukkonnu song.
Elilea - May be this is the only difference in this album. Horrible. No one with right/peaceful mind can hear this. Hope this is not IR composed. Qualified to top the chart (per latest standars!)
Interlude/Prelude etc in all songs are very ordinary and used in most of his earlier movies.
No wonder why Miskin decided to use only 2 songs :) Politely saying, "thanks now you do the BGM".
NK was definitely miles apart. Will go back to NK for now.
Just listened to the songs - on first hearing, they give me the feeling that they have been composed for a Malayalam movie, especially "Mella oorndhu" has a mallu touch, in the sense, its melodic content, tempo and feel are things that IR usually reserves for his mallu compositions rather than recent tamil compositions!! definitely, they are far better than most songs that come out of TFM these days - dont know why, 'kai veesi' sounds KRish as well as ARRish - only the flute in the first interlude reminds one of IR!
the album gives me hope for the kind of visuals tat Myskin must have described to IR at the time of composing! am sure that the film will not disappoint and looking fwd to the BGM!
the pace n tempo of all the songs give me a gut-feeling of what to expect from the film as well - am expecting a 'moondram pirai' style slow-paced output rich with visuals
Thanks!Quote:

On the whole, very good songs, but could have perhaps been grander. (I hope those "Hungarian musicians" are put to better use for the bgm...)
aside: I had "Oh Butterfly" playing on my playlist after these songs... miles ahead!!
IR please go back to live orchestra - and leave the synthesizers/loops for lesser composers! or atleast try to strike a fine balance between the two as you did in "oru naal maalaiyil" (Shiva 2006)
