IR New Albums - Old responses (5 Aug 2006)

All night i felt guilty that i have done something wrong by uploading the songs. I came to office today to delete the songs from net. but seeing the excitement of rags and MSK i prefer it to stay for one more day in net. I had the same excitement when heard first and just wanted it to share with fellow Raja Fans. All those who craved for Raja's Best get the songs ASAP.I can assure you this is the album we have been waiting for.
After ripping i never heard the songs in the format i have ripped. Today i heard it and thought OMG this is as good as the original :shock: Though i ripped it to the lowest quality i.e., 48 Kpbs. Still its good to listen. Hmmm.. Technology :?
I dont want you people to think 'This itself is OK why to buy original' :( Go and buy the CD's Folks.

Coming to the songs ... The brief SAX interlude coming in the 'Vaanin Kaathal' is simply awesome. the Song has patterns of JAZZ Aswelas ROCK n ROLL. I somehow feel the SAX interlude was recorded for MX and IR kept it aside and has used it now. What say Rags, MSK :?:

'Ennai ketkkum' is my favorite (based on simmendra madhyam). Cool strings. Reminded 'how to name it' and 'anadha raagam ketkum kaalam' but this one is different. Good job by Tippu and 'whoever sang the swaras'.

Thanks rajasaranam.

MSK,
Sounded Suddha saveri to me. Also 'Nethu varaikkum'.

Rs,
The link keeps refreshing, but no link to the file...How do i download ?
I downloaded the "ennai ketkum" song y'day without any problem.

Hi RR,

thanks.. But I am still suspecting MM.. have you listened to the critically acclaimed " Adi aadi varum Palaakku" in a late 80's movie called I Love India..sung by SJ. THis is again MM and even the starting chorus seems to be very similar in concept but so brilliantly done..

I am not sure if that song is available on the net.. The rhythm on that song was so mesmerizing.. this one is so close.. I still have not analyzed it very well..
But I am already addicted to this song..

Even the Vanin Kaathal is so Good.. Man.. this album is awesome.. I can;t wait for the CD>

Cheers
MSK

Very nice to hear about kasturimaan album as a masterpiece from IR. :D
I can't wait to listen. Today night I will get.

RR,

I am just guessing.. I am not any expert in this.. I guess IR is using Tonic Shift ( Shruthibetham )- I guess Ketkaliyeo Ketkaliyo is set in MM but set 5 notes higher - which is Sudha Saveri.. IR is THE king in Shruthibetham and has always exploited this technique.. I would love to hear someone else's opinion on this.. that way 2 data points against 1 each ( mine and RR's :-) would give us some more clue..

man this song is on repeat mode for the last 2 hours..

Mumbai Ramki, The lyrics of Nethu varaikkum sound pretty folkish ..or shd i say rustic ..i kind of like folk lyrics..so i liked it.. Buti got what you meant.. Great song..

not sure when i will go to sleep .. the more i get into these songs.. Hmmm

Cheers
MSK
