Next in stock from the promotional CD was the ART behind the making of 'Manikandan'. The Short clip takes you through the Evolution of the movie, the state 'Kerala' its culture and its peoples romance with colors and murals. Beautiful short film for which i presume Raaja has given music, since he is associated with the movie completely. Watch HERE

Next came the Behind the scenes and some beautiful songs being recorded for the movie. In totality this should the first biggest Project won which Raaja is working on. They have different songs for the movie, different songs in MGM, promotional songs, promotional videos and ofcourse the BGM for the movie. The video also explains the animations and characters being used in the movie. This Promo definitely gives us an Idea of What is in store for us. We can proudly say 'Indian Animation Industry has come to Age'. The way the project is shaping up I know its going to go places and reach greater heights and ofcourse Raaja has given his soul for this musical. Listening to songs in bits in this clipping I like these songs more than the Album MGM. Watch HERE

And finally the Promotional Trailer for the movie. Once I saw this and heard the music 'I shouted...tha Sultanukku Appu vaikka vanthaaryaa Manikantan' Thats it! Watch HERE

Upload panni mudichittu Intha Write-up Ezhuthi post panrathukulla trailerkku 15 views :) Yaarppa athu naan enna upload pannuvaennu kathirunthu Paayrathu :P

RS,
Thanks for the video. The BGM is really exciting. "The Master is on the Move" :bluejump:

RS,

Thanks for your links. BGM is exciting as usual... but more importantly i could observe the striking difference in the quality of sound recording, and the output are on par with those of Shiva & cheenikum....hmm...the recording done at Mumbai always stand apart... Prasad studio engineers should go for a KT to Mumbai :)

I found the recording of 'Manikanta Geeta Mala' quite good. Though there is no info on the CD cover about where it was recorded, I guess it must have been at Mumbai. The keyboard sounds so good in the songs. Wish most of his other film songs are also recorded with this type of quality. I am sure it is possible in Chennai itself.

What about Harris's studio, that is equally good or better nowdays than panchathan :lol2:

I think Sethu was recorded in Panchathan and it was not very great. Compare Sethu with geetanjali or thani kaattu raaja (raasavu unnai naan specifically) you can tell those older albums are much better recorded. ARR or HJ or YSR do not record like the way IR does. They record each instrument separately (close miced) and then mix it up. They will add 'artificial space' to the sound (or reverb/delays effects). It is always tricky to record IR's songs (like they way they are doing for Manikantan) and it is also tricky to play it back. Some people might think IR songs are not recorded well, even though it might be !!! IR pushes instruments behind the vocals, whereas ARR just keeps it a low level (sometimes not). This depth to different instruments is very difficult to tell in ordinary audio systems and might sound 'hazy'.
ARR ushered in a new recording style (lets call it, POP, style as it is made for consumer audio equipment) and IR followed a different style (lets call it 'classic' meaning traditional/old) .
BTW, I liked Manikantan music. The prelude to the girl/title song where the flute stops and the strings play sounds like 80s music of IR, even like to the extent of a specific song.

Let us hope this Happens...
