IR New Albums - Ver 2006

relactivex,

Is the CD out in Bangalore ? I could not get it last week.

CDs are available in Landmark,FORUM and looking at the cd rack there,quite a few sold out too :)

I bought the CD from Music world on the brigades. Shreya Ghosal is the USP of "Cheeni Kum"'s reach to the northies.
Her rendition of "cheeni kum"and the fluid bass lines give a very sophisticated, urban feel to our good old SPB's "mandram vandha".
The first interlude of baatein hawa would simply blow the minds of melody lovers. Despite Shreya, I miss the wcm strings of "vizhiyile mani vazhiyin". Esp the 2nd bgm is a mini symphony The neo refurbished orchestration is no match to the old wine.
Cheeni kum CD is worth buying atleast for those last 2 pure instrumental pieces. The first theme music has soft piano and cool violins
and in between when we hear the orchestral riff of "cheeni kum" song, the effect is just spine tingling. This is Raja's speciality.
This should befit the ending credits music and I can visualize the audience leaving the movie hall with tears of joy. [High hopes eh? :)) ]
The second instrumental is sax with jazz flavour.

not Jane do na??:(

Thanks anyway!

thumburu,
The sax instrumental piece is a brilliant adaptation of 'en iniya pon nilAvE', in typical movie BGM / smooth jazz style. Balki being a fan of BM & IR, this choice is quite understandable. I only wish it lasted a little longer...

I never feel that the Sax melody is a rehash "En iniya.."

May be the breaks in the tune resemble that..but I believe this is a fresh work of IR, not on any remix request.

Thanks Thumburu. I bought the CD from Music World.

For the Rs.150 we pay, even the CD cover is not of good quality :( The design is such that it does not close properly..Do any body feel the same ?

Exactly my feeling.
Its not En Iniya Pon Nilave.

that Sax melody has resemblance of 'naan dhaan sakalakalaavallavan....ilamai idho idho...' for me!
Kettu paarunga..
