UV.. Well said on using COMP. They say use it very sparingly. I agree 100% on NEPV being one of the best... Also, did you guys notice that recent albums are much balanced when compared to most of the 80's and 90's where the TREBLE is higher than the BASS or lack of TREBLE. I think it was intentionally recorded that way so that people could hear them better via RADIO's those days. This is very good for us fans to enjoy his albums in its full glory...Quote:

Not an answer the ^ post, general thought: The 2nd half of Pudikkala Mamu, though off-putting has some interesting things going. Didn't like the tune at all but pinnaadi ennamo nadandhutte irukku (strumming, outrageous sax parts?...). Weakest link of the album by a distance but adhulayum edhayo vechirukkaan....
While I listened to songs last night, only UV's rendition in Saindhu Saindhu came through my headphones. Thought something was wrong with the YouTube link. But no, i was able to hear it through speakers. Finally able to troubleshoot that headphone joint was faulty and it was acting like bypass filter, only Yuvans made it through, maybe also the chorale.
pudikkala maamu has a whole bunch of musically interesting things going on for sure (some stunning guitaring throughout the song for one!). It's just that the tune, at places, sounds a bit too simple/'pedestrian' (isn't the 2nd half meant to be exactly this? And got me wondering why GVM didn't persist to extract an alternative tune instead of this 'dated' one) and the lyrics are extremely unimaginative (especially the paththadhE part - there's surely a sandham-soll mismatch there right? 'paththadhE' becomes 'pathadhE'. Hect it even sounds so much like the Hindi word 'bathaadhE'! You seldom see this problem in Raaja songs, no?).
And Vinod, I think the percussions in the kuththu part are played on the usual acoustic drums versus thaara/thappatai/thavil, possibly giving it that different sound. And like Jai said, this is one helluva audacious attempt! Oh how I wish Raaja had prolonged that mini post-lude. engyO kondu poirukkalaam!
It filtered out everything else and let through only yuvan voice? :lol: What a curse, kittu!Quote:

Neethane En Ponvasantham is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Gautham Menon and Ilaiyaraja make for an exciting combination and Jiiva and Samantha are like the bonus features. Following the music launch of the film which also doubled as a nostalgic trip backwards in time to revisit some of Ilaiyaraja's finest work, the craze for the film and its music is at an all time high.
The audio CD is selling like hot cakes and the film is also getting a record number of hits on YouTube. Critics and fans alike are impressed with the album and so it is small wonder that it appears to be going viral
It's not a curse as much as a revelation, I suggest we keep UV's voice in preservation, as distress signal for catastrophic event.No advanced Alien hardware could expunge it.Quote:
