thumburu :But "mudhal murai" ? I would have accepted if some one said a GV Pragaasam did it. Correct me please
I beg to differ. IMHO its a Sin to even dream that GV Douche Kumar is capable of composing a track like this. THIS HAS RAJA STAMP WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.

Even in 'review' point of view this is a milestone album. Everybody coming with a full length song review rather than album review.[QUOTE]
That's because each song is an album in itself
I did today after listening to Youtube versions.. & did work.Quote:

Seeing the song output over the years with MANY composers however seems to suggest that he is very organically linked to songs at some level. Now that kind of ordeal is extremely fine with me.
d) But even if I'm against this, this shouldn't exempt me from appreciating songs in isolation.
e) Even actor-filmmaker like Kamal have expressed this sentiment, despite being Raaja's biggest colloborator over the years. That even he couldn't get rid of songs completely, and had to indulge in it, in a compromised way, is saddening. Of course.
:exactly: even the melodies have lovely drum work, and what a significant difference it makes to the listening experience.Quote:

Similar to what Suresh had posted on drumming, someone here had asked about usage of flutes in this album, but I can't recall who (and I'm too lazy to flip through the pages, sorry!). From whatever I've heard so far:
1) The whole of vaanam mella is punctuated with beautiful flute runs.
2) There's some lovely flute work in both the interludes of kaatrai konjam (though they aren't lengthy passages).
3) Satru munbu has flutes in the background orchestration (though it doesn't quite stand-out) and in the interludes.

As I begin writing this - the fingers tremble at the keyboard..
There is a unsettling feeling that this all might be just a dream and such a thing as "NEPV" has never happened.
OK.. let me narrate the silly story of a kid who found NEPV album in iTunes.
After downloading it , he went on to connect the sound bar and pair it with his iphone and played the songs on shuffle.
The first song that played was the 80's pop reunion rejoinder 'Ennodu vaa vaa endru' . Something was wrong - Karthik's voice
was not very clear and the kid was worried now - really... work and other chores intervened and the kid had no time to correct the sound settings, or so
he thought.. Then the day got over and the night was spent mostly dreaming about listening to this world conquering album from his idol.
The next day dawned and the kid got ready to rush to the car and play it there. The shuffle hesitated for a while and then
yuvan 'shaker' raaja started singing in 'God knows what pitch' 'Pengal Endraal' - the car was being automatically navigated through
the 'fastest route' but the song was even faster than that - This evil twin of emotional athyachar rock version - goes uber high on rock..
Lyrics - muthukumar - some oft repeated similes and metaphors - but work well within the framework of a guy burnt by playing with love...
particularly 'anbaal seidha aayudhangaL' - Really? Awesome...so the kid had no recourse but to avoid the highway that would have gotten him to the
destination in 10 mins to a local route and 'pengaL endraal' in repeat mode... Then as the destination neared, the kid let go of the rewind button to hear the same song repeat again???? no it was the female version - and Sunidhi chauhan got the billy goat gruff by its neck and belted sixers off yorker length deliveries...
and "Nee dhaaane en pon vasandham' - again .. Really? Awesome - Rock Raaja Rocks and how? he puts on the professorial cloak and teaches kids on block on
how to create the perfect rock love ballad... - the high point in instrumentation of "pengal Endraal" was the way minor chords of piano were resonated with elec guitar to produce a new sound that thumps the chest in bass... Freaking awesome songs these two -
Now the kid has a full day and headphones - provided no one is interrupting - he is gonna be lost in this candy land of awesome songs... for a while..
PS: the rock guitar strumming in the 'poyya poi dhaana' - DARK STUFF.... EVIL GUY THIS ILAIYARAAJA...
