Naan Kadavul songs

Just to clarify. The mood of this album doesn't remind me of 'Virumaandi' but the overall effect of the album keeping in tune with the films requirement reminds me of how Illayaraja kept the folk element intact throughout the 'Virumandi' album. In this album Illayaraja keeps a melancholic strain throughout, giving us an idea of what to expect from the film.

well, This is something we can say after we watch the film. We dont know what the film has to offer and if the music really matches it. The music is good and we are assuming that music is appropriate, given the visuals in the posters. Ofcourse, i have never doubted IR's capability in providing appropriate music for the film. It is all the more true, when the film-maker is not the run of the mill kind. So, even i think he gave certain kind of music. Yet, we need to watch the actual film.for now, lets lap up the songs. I still have one complaint though - wish this album had more songs :)

And btw, any update on Nandhalaala? heard even that music will release in Jan2009. also in Jan2009 is "Jaganmohini".

You've spoken my mind. I do believe that the interludes are more for the scenes than the songs. But still, Song-oda flow, mood spoil aagama he could have done it. He is maestro. Isn't it?

What i feel is,
whatever emotions (that come on screen) that have been conveyed thru the instruments (percusions, keyboard) in that interlude, (the same emotions) could have been conveyed using a solo violin, a veenai or mrithangam, which would not have disrupted the mood, flow of the song!

My opinion! :)

Fair enough raagas. We cannot comment on the appropriateness until we see the movie but what this sound track does is to give us an idea of how the movie would be. Lets wait and see if our guesses are correct. I am confident it will be. Ofcourse the confidence stems not out of my judgement but out of Raja's well know capabilities :)

:exactly:
Raagas, its not as if Raaja is composing for the first time! I mean, yeah, what you say is technically correct and all that, but come on, one just KNOWS it when one hears music like this. Maybe the music has not moved you like it has moved any of us but at least allow us the liberty to indulge in some good old harmless paean singing :razz:

The interlude from 3.30 to 4.20 in Om Siva Om is piercing.... :clap:

And the 10 sec music from 2.21 to 2.31 is :ulukki eduthufying: :bow:

In both "Kannil.." and "orukatril",

the tune loses its way and goes somewhere when the charanam ends..the words simply doesn't suit the tune..

My take

Vigneshram,

It is "OM SHIVOHAM" not "Nama shivaya"

SHIVOHAM = SHIVA + AHAM (I) = I AM SHIVA.

"Mano budh ahankara chiththaani naaham....shivoham..shivoham"

I am not this body, mind or the intellect or this ego. I am that eternal..I am shiva..."

- Adi Shankara.
