Thanks for the link!
But saraasari? Are you serious?? :shock:
I loved the songs. It shows more than just shades of his early 90's brilliance. The first song brings back memories of "nadodi thendral". Nice melodies are coming back, and the orchestration and instrumentation is also refreshing. Only the thrid song (manasiloru poomala) is so-so, but even that has some captivating parts. Listen the the first interlude of the first song.. what more do you want? This is the kind of IR I'd like to see, and I don't mean that as a compromise.

btw, HQ mp3s are already available on cooltoad. (maybe that will change your mind) :P

ananth222, I listened briefly while at work and that's behind my current opinion.

Will try to give more listening before I comment on each song, thanks for your inputs.

Innathe Chintha Vishayam
released with a much favourable initial response !!

Seems Sathyan has proved himself again :D

Manasiloru Poomala is by Madhu Balakrishnan and Swetha.

Swetha is the daughter of singer Sujatha and she had already rendered "mandhara poo.." for IR in Vinodayatra.

Nandalala will be out in December ! Myskkin is not the hero :)

This website says IR did the entire re-recording for the serial "Thekkethi Ponnu".

This week Ananda Vikatan has IR talking about a song he has written for "Uliyin Osai".

He has composed 7 songs in a single day ( as usual hype :) )

When the director asked MK if he wants to hear the tunes, Mk's reply was "Summaavaa naan Isai gnani-nu pattam kodutthen. Ellaam arpudhamaa vandhirukkum. Apparam vaartthaigaludan kettukkaren"

baroque,

Please..post these in other threads like IR's rare songs etc. Let us try to keep this thread for his new albums though we usually digress at times due to some discussions :)

Seems "Innathe Chinta.." will be only an average runner unlike Sathyan's earlier ventures :(

Happy tamil new year IR fans !

Ok, raja_fan!

Happy Tamil New Year wishes to you all!

Thamizh Putthandu Nal vaazthukkal !

Oru chinna vedukol :

Indru oru naal thamizhai patriyum thamizh varalaatraiyum ninaitthu paarppom.
Thamizh thamizh endru koovi kondu, adhe samayathil thamizh putthaandai verum cinema matrum vyaabaara kondaattamaaga maatriyulla tholai kaatchigalai purakkanippom !

raja_fan, good thought!

As a regular person & musical novice, yenakku therincha varaikkum, today I am going to listen whole day Shri.MSV who genuinely :ty: served the language - Tamil with his musical virtuosity, paid attention to lyrical beauty through out his musical career!

From Thamizhukkum amudhendru ...... to Andha 7 Natkal's thendraladhu unnidathil...., the GENIUS enriched our listening pleasure not only with soulful tunes but also with honey soaked lyrics with emotive vocals!

Enjoy Thamizhukkum amudhendru per....!

love, Vinatha.

'manasiloru poomAla' - sounds like a typical Thamizh village song by IR of later years (inji iduppazaghi, jinjanakku janakku, kaNdupudichchEn kaNdupudichchEn style). I don't know how it's being received in Kerala, but nice to hear, especially the bass lines are typical IR:-)

a_e, for me, Manasiloru poomala is more like "oru thuppaakki kaiyileduthu" :)

This link also says IR has composed BGM for the entire serial:

Not sure how far this is true!

Today morning, I was watching the interview of Kavignar Muthulingam on TV . He is one of the favorites of IR.

When asked about the current movies he is working with IR,
he listed Dhanam, Azhagar malai and also mentioned following movies that we were never aware of yet !

A movie called "Dharani".
One movie by Simbu Devan ( Simbu devan with IR ?? )
One for Vijaykanth ( he told title "Enga Rasa" ) !!
Another new name that I do not remember..


So.., what's up IR's sleeves now ??

He mentioned about Raaja and how raaja was giving muthulingam chances to write for raaja's tunes/films.

He talked about Dhanam, KKP, Ilavenil(related to kalaignar), one film of sanglimurugan azhagar malai

REMINDER >

Don't miss to watch the full TITLE score of IR in 'Thekkithi Ponnu' in Kalaignar TV TODAY at 8.30 PM :)

Watched Therkkathi Ponnu.

The title score is overall nice. Starts beautifully, but i feel the charanam could have been better. Also the interludes is only percussion instrument, no violin etc..

BGM is NOT by IR :)

The title credits does not mention IR's name ! Just the title card mentions "Isaignani Ilaiyaraja"
I expected that BR will talk about coming back again to IR..

Nothing impressive but for the fact that IR and BR have united again. Yes Raja Fan the charanam cud have been better.

I concur with u guys regarding the title track of BR's "therkathi poNNu". Very pedestrian :(
Has IR lost it all?

thumburu,

Wait ! It is not so pedestrian :)
And it gorws on me on multiple hearings !

*grows*

Can somebody upload the mp3 of Therkathi Ponnu & Namma Kudumbam title songs?

SATHYAN-IRs latest INNATHE CHINTHAVISHAYAM is definitely going to be the most remarkable and most talked about movie of recent times in kerala.Ayya has put his heart and soul into the BGM of this high quality movie.Sitting near TOM GEORGE,the young and upcoming director/producer i heard "if Jean Luc Godard made a comedy in malayalam combining his wit and indian melodrama thiss what youd' get".The rhythmic clapping from audience through out Manasiloru Poomala song made my evening the most enjoyable.The breezy tamil rustic beats that breeze scenes which are shot around Kambam-theni area shows how much Ayya enjoyed working for this movie.This movie will breath some life to the insipid and sagging career of Superstar Mohanlal...can hardly wait for SWAPNAMAALIKA soundtrack.SATHYAN-JAYARAM-AYYA combo movie put on hold may see light if this movie hits bulls eye

Mr.Judge's post on Nandhalala in another thread

Quote:

Finally Nandhalala is taking off. In this week's AV, Myskkin has spoken about the plot. It is about a 6 year child and 30 year guy looking for their respective moms and on their way they meet 32 people and how their lives are changed after the meets is the story. "padaththukku Ilaiyaraajavoda isai periya varamaa irukkum".

He has taken off his beard and looks very different from his earlier looks.

I hope Mysskin insists IR to use 95% manual orchestra with 5% synth and if he makes him to avoid tabla, that will be a treat.

Same news (word to word) posted by NormalMan here as well. A new tamil children film by "Ammuvagiya Naan"'s director. The director is awaiting a positive response from IR.

Avoid tabla or Use drums or Strum away guitar etc... not a rt approach.


Apt natural percussion with aesthetic tempo is the simple, rt, natural way CLASSY musicians approach.

Remember moham ennum ..... sindhu bhairavi with pauses, appadiye build pannuvaa emotions - What a BLISS or Speedy african(?) tholin mele..... or ENERGETIC vannilae thenila....Kakki Sattai or Enchanting katti vaichukko.....

Note, all the above mentioned songs have EXPRESSIVE singing along with charming, lively rhythmical - jathi construction.

EXPRESSIVE singing..

Correct-aa sonneenga ! Also, a tune flow with fluctuations, ghamakams etc. Not a plain throw of words..

I was hearing "Singari..pyari" from Adisaya piravi.. What an intelligent experimentation with echoes and rythm !! Ippo andha IR enge ponaar :(

ippo vara songs ley yengey ponaarunnu I don't know! :roll:

In this song, I found him.

:bluejump: :redjump: :clap: :swinghead:

With all his Sonic, Rhythmic gestures, HE IS HOT!!

In Vaanam yenna.... Vetri vizha with Call & Respond melody of Blues format, singers responding to each other, with chorus scat singing and rhythmic beats!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh62b-kxE2w

Does it adhere to 'BLUES NOTE' rule, I don't know! :) theory/format only I follow. Chord progression, I don't know! )


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues

Why you are guys again and again pointing IR using synths?

Didn't you like Akni Natchathram? didn't you like KM? didn't you like Ayiram Kodi song? Even the latest Shiva & Cheeni kum was good. So the problem is not with synth but with the mood, interests and involvement of IR.

As per Today's Dinakaran , Bala's next movie will star Kamal hassan and that Kamal will do this movie after Marmayogi. (must be in 2010 then).

I hope no one ask me why i have posted this here :)

rooky,

Appadi ellaam assume pannaadheenga :)
Edhuvum nadakkalaam.

Innathae declared as HIT.

I know somebody would pick on this , as soon as I saw "avoid tabla" . In my case, I much rather prefer tabla to the synth (yes, listen to agni natchathiram now, the synth drums sound so silly).

Re: "Avoid tabla or Use drums or Strum away guitar etc... not a rt approach. "

I dont think I agree. If you used just percussion, it would be purely CLASSICAL (maybe CLASSY too) and especiallay indian CLASSICAL. I think even before Rahman, IR started relying heavily on bass guitar driven rhythms. He has done "piano songs" as well as "guitar songs" (this is how he or other MDs from that era refer to these songs).
My take is, the MD should not force himself one way or other. He should do whatever comes naturally to him.
Listen to 'oru kiLiyin thanimaiyile..." ..drums/bass driven pallavis, tabla in the charanams,but it is the bass that drives the rhythm..the tabla is there just for flavor..
Restricting to percussion accompaniment, completely precludes one genre of music called 'film music' or 'pop(ular) music' :-)
