Sadly, "Jane Do Na" (The song of the album IMO), is the least favorite in almost all the N.I review i've read. Its just too *good* for them i guess. As long as the tune is not 'simple', it doesn't matter to them. They don't understand or look for interludes, orchestration etc...

Bangalore FM is playing a lot of Cheeni kum these days. ( I am yet to see a request to the RJ's, but seemingly the RJ's have taken a liking to these songs)
Kannadigas relate to the Jaanedona song as they have heard the tune earlier as 'Jotheyali"

but personally I think some people just can't stand cheeni kum's success.

I said his recent albums not just CK. Do we have to be geniuses to make any statement/opinion about movies/songs? If yes, then they should release them with a tagline "meant for geniuses only".

What your talking about is instrumentation...i agree that the synth sounds dunt sound so good..but its not that IR loves synths...he wants to use live orchestra and has commented once that for all the tax he pays the government does not provide him with a orchestra...that is why he is sticking with synth sounds for now...you cant expect him to do every movie with budapest orchestra can you...?...can understand your fustration..but its IR fustration as well :D

I know the difference. But your instrument/sound choices will make your orchestration either cool or bad. IMO, IR's choices sound bad nowadays. After listening to his 80s compositions, I can't be satisfied with his current output. IR made that statement when he was at his peak (in 1990??) and I didn't/don't buy that. In 80s, did he use Budapest orchestra for all his live orchestra compositions?

You will know that he was way ahead of everybody else in understanding synths/new sounds. It is now us who are not able to adjust to his synths/new sounds having feasted upon his live orchestra feel. Iam still sure IR's understanding of synth/ new sounds is way ahead of other MD's, whose synth'N'sounds are too jarring, and we are not yet able to grasp it.

IR was way ahead in using cool sounds before synths invaded the scene. He needs to balance between acoustic with syths instead of going for synths alone. Just imagine ennai thalatta varuvalo with acoustic drums accompaniment, it would have taken the song even higher.

Anyway I just want to end the digression here, enjoy the CK songs guys.

Actually i completely agree with Judge here.
Not just with "Ennai thalatta varuvalo", there have been quite a few songs like that in recent times. Percussion is the first main culprit. Acoustim drums kuda vendam, aana synth-liye the rhythm could sound much better...

Are these two projects lined up for IR?
