Maestro Ilaiyaraja New Albums 2011 - Hello Jaihind / Sri Rama Rajyam

<shakes head and slowly hums>

Jinjinakku janakku
naan sollithaaren kanakku
</shakes head and slwly hums>

listen to this piece by Morricone:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQ4bawWWvCE
its the most beautiful "blabbering" in music I've heard (other than in IR songs). I think both IR and Morricone are geniuses who know what they are doing.

ok all - no more ramblings on my part! truce!

its all out of my sincere genuine desire IR's music shd find the right respectful place in history that i keep lamenting

hopefully in another 10 days, i will have some good news - until then - tata!

Year 2009 Seems to the best in this decade for IR, hope all will agree, Enna mathiri variety of Songs Kuduthu Irukaar. From Naan Kadavul to Suryakanthi. Try Listening all the albums in a row and Comment them in few lines for each album. Apuram pesunga Sound, Chorus, Rhythms etc. pathi ellam.

These people have not attuned themselves to the latest hip-hop beats or R&B and are still happy with tha na na type of singing (mind you carnatic music was sung in our land using tha na before sa re ga ma pa da ni came in) and our rhythm patterns.

That said, I do want to see IR known internationally and hope many of IRIR's efforts bear fruit. I think if he works with people like Balki we will have song which are more tuned to western sensibilities (even in PAA mudi mudi is the pick in this aspect).

kiru - this is getting nowhere! do you mean to say that the toiling-in-the-sun crowd cannot appreciate a melody without 'dang dings' and 'cham cham chamakku chams' ?? didnt the same crowd love/enjoy a 'tharai mel pirakka vaithhaan' from KV Mahadevan or a "thirudaadhey paappa thirudaadhey". or a "budhhan gandhi yesu pirandhadhu bhoomiyil yedharkaaga ?" kind of songs which did not have such nonsense ??

isnt such a claim doing injustice to their appreciative ears and actually sound condescending/patronising ? salilda did not resort to such stuff in his evergreen 'madhumathi' which had lots of tribal/folk based songs !

IMO, the problem lies elsewhere - (1) IR doing tons of movies at a time, and often perhaps not having time for a complete song, and hence such 'phrases' probably came in haste - best example, the obnoxious 'pee peee pibbeeepee pee pee' chorus in the second interlude of the delightful 'vaa vaa manjal malare' from rajathi raaja! as i said, these things at the peak of his career cud be excused (though i dont see why coz, as a professional, he shd have given equal importance to each and every film he was doing, and gotten ridden of such phrases replacing them with some other stuff) - so that possibly explains the state in the 1980s; (2) but now, its an inexplicable sense of 'this is enough for you' to a 'yes boss, yes boss' nodding filmmaker - wud he have the guts to come up with such stuff with someone like kamal ? the 'bey bey peppey' wail in 'kombula poova sutthi' was very brief and strongly context-based and hence kamal probably allowed it

there is only a certain limit beyond which one cant explain the 'context-based' choice of crap IR often employs in his music even after 880 films! am glad that he didnt mess PAA with such stuff coz of the canvas and the wider reach he must have envisaged

ROFL on the pee...pee thing !!!

That "pee pee..." is such a sick thing in that song, that I hated that song just for that...I was embarrassed to play it in front of my mallu-land relatives (I used to stop the cassette, and play Side-B :) )

Let' admit another thing...The weakest link of Raja's music is his vocal harmony...from light boy, his car driver to Gangai Amaran and arunmozhi everyone sings in the chorus...Every chorus of his reminds me of "Rajadhi rajan indha Raja..." sung by Ravi krishna and friends in 7G rainbow colony :)

that too @ the age of 66!

that too @ the age of 66! is for ....

the male singer in 'edeya bagilu' (suryakanthi) - is the choice deliberately made to sound like the late kannada icon Rajkumar ? the initial portions when he begins the pallavi did remind me of late RK's voice! did anyone else feel the same ?

irir123,

Actually Kunal Ganjawala's opening reminded me of Raja. I felt he was probably singing exactly like how Raja wanted him to sing. For some unknown reason I am always taken aback when he sings 'without you'. It sounds like 'viraha choo' which doesn't mean anything :) In this song as well as well as in 'chinna polike', the female of the species does better than the male.

If there was one song which reminded me of Rajkumar, it was 'yenidu yenidu' from 'Nannavanu'. Lovely song that one.

Looks like the director of 'Om Shanthi' is into blogging. He has started writing his experience of meeting Raja. This seems to be the first part. Need to follow this site to get the whole story.

irir ..ungaLukku theriyAdha vishayathai ..adhuvum IR music paRRI naan enna solla poRen..from a a social point of view edhO uLarinEn..prasad and app surprisingly seem to have similar views. (BTW, I did not like swalpa soundu that much , but today I patiently listened to the prelude which seemed to put me in the mood for the song completely.. the main refrain and the rockish guitar in the interlude actually reminded me of U2 ..very weird.)

kiru - yenakku IR music la ulla niraiyya technical matters theriyave theriyaadhu/puriyaadhu!

IR is not doing any private albums - a TiS, music messiah notwithstanding, his only output is in the filmy format - so whatever we might say to justify the use of elements such as the ones mentioned above, its becoming increasingly difficult to showcase his filmy output, if they have such elements - of course, if we dont care abt how its perceived by others, then no arguments - but for his music to have universal appeal (which am sure it does), the least he can do is get rid of these things - tats IMHO

IRIR,

My thoughts - nothing new but felt like writing it..Digression again . sorry for the rant folks..

IR and his capability (or the lack therof ) to market his "stuff" is one topic that we are all painfully aware of .. In my HO, IR can be a excellent case study for how poor marketing/PR skills can make/break a product. He is a genius in Music ( and skills related to music) ( and sometimes lyrics - Ramana Maalai and some of Azhagi songs are testimony ) . Period. He seems to lack badly in every other department outside of music. Maybe True Creators/Artists are very hard to manage, typically lack business/Social skills - So to wish for IR to think of the marketability of the product while he creates it is against his creative process. Who knows.. so to me efforts in marketing his product outside of South are laudable, but unless IR puts his mind to it ( maybe it's too late now ) it's going to be an uphill battle..

I know Hindsight is always 20-20.. So looking back, if he had even the basic biz skills or atleast had some sense to have a business dev/mktng guy by his side, he would have been well of with just 200 of his albums with a selection of just the 3-4 gems per album that were there in every single album of his in the early/mid/late 80's/ , 2-3 gems in every single album in the 90's and 0-2 gems in select albums in the current decade. But he accepted every movie that came his way and made money out of it without recognizing the "true potential" of his stuff. HTNI/NBW were sparks that were in the right direction, but did not go much further than excite the NRI folks.. Again this realization alone could have hurted his creativity/spontaneity. the success he had in the 80's were hugely due to his creativity/spontaneity/speed over weighing all these shortcomings..

In my HO, Current generation MD's care way too much about the maketability/popularity of their creation than the music itself and succeed to a great extent ..though short lived..

But the irony is that i read somehwere that IR was the first to come up with the concept of selling Audio cassettes ( remember the echo company that he owned ) well ahead of the movie releases and created a biz segment out of it..

In my HO, Current generation MD's care way too much about the maketability/popularity of their creation than the music itself and succeed to a great extent ..though short lived..


Cheers

Listen to "Chinna Polike" song, especially when kunal and sunidhi repeat the pallavi/anupallavi portions after the first charanam. I loved it.

The way all instruments jump at once in a 'thadAladi' manner after the first line is sung without any background is freak-out stuff!

It's like telling a 'wow-wow' after clean-bowling the toughest batsman!

This is the foruth Bhavadharini song that I've enjoyed immensely (the others being alai meedhu, idhu sangeetha thirunALO & mayil pOla poNNu onnu).

Actually, this song tops in the pA album for me :-)

Interestingly, my daughter insists me on repeating this during drives and even within a few hearings, she sings almost all the words (I can't sing even the pallavi) :-)

---

I heard my daughter hum 'gum sum gum' while she was playing..
This is the third film song she has taken a liking to...

---

Same situation with my 4-year old son. He wants to listen to Gum Sum only, exclusively, all the time. I played to him all 3 different versions (that I have) of Gum Sum, starting with Thumbi Vaa, Mood in Kapi, and Sangaththil. Every time he said "this is not the real Gum Sum, play me the "real" Gum Sum" :-)

-Gokul.

---

Exactly for the same reason, this song tops my list in Paa...My 4 yr old daughter, while riding tricycle, was humming "gum sum gum" for every pedal, and I had tears in my eyes...Man...this guy made my dad play thumbi vaa in a repeat mode (pAvam cassette niruthi...rewind paNNi pOduvAr :) )....and my kid is singing without me initiating her forcibly into Raja's music....

This guy is just amazing...my only worry is he shouldn't be another Vincent Van Gogh !

I think your talking about TIS. The symphony I am talking about nobody has heard it except a select few with the exceptions of RPO, Sir John Scott and the man who did the symphony himself :lol2:. And knowing thalaivar well, he never talks back amazingly unless provoked to that extent.

And Mr Genuine Fan, to you it is raja's loss, but to him it is not a loss as he is not even interested in the first place. Business has never bothered him one bit and he only eats and breathes music.

Havent you see the way he speaks that he does not even bother about films that much. In the same youtube link there is a snapshot where he says he will usually finish films in 30 minutes. That is how "interested" he is. I think the loss is more from fans like you as you guys believe he exists within a certain spectrum and his tunes only reflect at that point. I dunt think you guys ever understood his style of music in the first place. Just fans by chance thats all.

when you talk good things about a song, please substantiate technically how the song is good (suresh/Raagas can help you there). I will respect your opinion then.

Appadi podunga Arivaala-- Usha

The songs are made for mood and we usually listen to situations. The romantic songs are always for all situations. Whenever i want a break in office works, I will hear raja song , even in hectic work activity i will hear a song and go for meeting.

The Present songs which i live with are :

1) Aadhiyusha - what a roaring music
2) Kunnathae - soothing my whole body - applaus to KSC
3) madankala Mythavanalle - appreciate the whole crew and the directior for sensible taking.

and also I like the tribal song in audio.

Here in kuwait I am searching the original CD, wherever I go they shown the pirated MP3 versions, even in kerala shops. We can think how bad the marketing is, even in dubai i tried with my friends, not reached so far.. What to do :oops:

All the "PR" songs are of great energy , I bet nobody globally would have composed a song which gives us both "sympathy and roaring courage for a battle".

IR is the only Music director in the indian film industry who sustain and return like a storm.

And, why we have to compare our albums with Amercan strategy, Is they create songs for for " mother son relationship" " father son relationship" "Revenge" "celebrations" "unfaithful" "depression" "frustration" " friendship" " Lulubee" " courage " "songs in battlefield" "godfaith" "Loss" "Gain" "Happy " "Sorrow" "Seduce" "gratitude" "thanksgiving".... whatever the situation in real life. My master will give for the situation. All I can say is IR is the person who should give awards not to receive awards.

------------------

But one thing dear friends , tell me that following flims the recordings are not clear , may be i am hearing in pirated downloads or really somthing is missing in the recording

1. Mallipuvu - amazing songs
2. Prem Khani
3. Surya kanthi
4. Om shanti

I watched PR and PAA in kuwait in a IMAX theatre , the re recording is good and my friends were talking that the bow pulling the string and direction of the arrow can be easily imagine by closing the eyes.

In PAA the repetative theme might have minimised with new tunes.

Any how ......... I am happy person , because I go to trans situation whenver i hear IR songs.

As I said, it is just one point of view and which is in no superior or inferior to what is being discussed here.

Good point.

But why are we not applying the same logic to Charu Niveditha? Why are we calling him crazy, dog, etc.?

Another point I agree with you is about letting him get to do a private album. I don't agree with one aspect of what you say though :D I would not ask him to score 'like' some music that I had heard and let him do what he wants. That way we may get the most 'unlikely' music and we will enjoy it immensely :)

I think all of us share these two things in common. A passion and enthusiasm for his music and the lack of money power to do anything about promoting it :D Atleast you are doing much better than many us in terms of spreading his music.

---

Kamal has made Ilaiyaraaja to do some 'like this song, like that song' songs as well. :)

Shankar - my dad used to be an IR-disliker (not hater), more so for his roots than an objective assessmen of his music - slowly he used to silently admire his genius but never admitting it openly! it was always AM Raja, MSV, a Salilda but never IR! for him and other family members, IR = dappankuthu music director. Unlike me who was hooked to IR's music right from the age of 5 when i first listened to his music in a 'kuzhaai' speaker in a quaint park in tirunagar, madurai (the park and the pillaiyar temple with its 'namboodhiri style-beard' sporting priest/kurukka still do exist in madurai!-))

until he saw an interview of IR on DD in the mid 1990s - i did not see the interview, but when i came home for vacation, he tells me with a completely changed tone - a tone that was once filled with dread and disprespect was now all awe and respect - paraphrasing him "indha aalu sadharana aalu illai! sithhan maari sirikkiraan - yedho oru amanushyamana power - ella casetteaiyum vechittu po" - i had to spend the next semester without my favorite collections of IR!

IR thus IMHO has an uncanny means of teasing ppl with his music as well as his personality! thus he will make you hate him as much as his music one day and next day, you will do the opposite!

Charu's agenda is clear to everyone except to those who want to turn a blind eye :) I would more than willing to give the benefit to Charu had he just been expressing his views and not deliberately say stuff like 'Paa makes Raja a joker in North' and stuff like that. In case of Karthik, we can have difference of opinion with his reviews but again it is quite clear that he doesn't push an agenda.

(I am surprised that I have to explain this :D I thought it would be quite obvious to those who read Charu and those who read Karthik.)

I have no clue who called Charu a dog but I am certain that guy is going to have a tough time with the dogs when he walks the streets :lol:

I think we should take it in the spirit of 'one more view of the album' rather than "oh i was so expecting his review!!!" type of thing. As I said, it is just one point of view and which is in no superior or inferior to what is being discussed here.

Good point.

But why are we not applying the same logic to Charu Niveditha? Why are we calling him crazy, dog, etc.?

I think you misunderstood me. I wonder why we should let anybody's opinion bother us.

//Neenga dhan IR songs patri nalladha solli irukeengala......//

I like to keep my likes and dislikes to myself.

Bhavadharni's singing - is really energetic...

Unnai enaku thandhadharu - Bhavadharni kooda varum Ladys' chorus.......

Unnai enaku - this time - wah wha guitar, beats, chorus - ivai ellam oru ootam odumae....

Heroine - Hero vai thedi odi padara madhiri oru mood ai kodukum.........

1st interlude

dono the name of the instrument...
it gives the Hamsadhvani's Extract....

its smoothly transfered from left ear to right ear......

NIce experience it is...
