Suresh,
I have heard the Telugu version of 'Yezhimalayan Mahimai'. Lovely songs. There is one more song in that movie which didn't get picturized, "ae jagaala sangamamo" I think is the song.
"kathirunden thaniye" is a superb song as well. Love it.
Listening again to 'Gayam 2'. "andala lokam" rocks.

"Margatha Veenai" picks
-Ennai Nee Paadaathae
-Margatha Veenai
-Kannaa vaa kavitha solven vaa
Nenjil Aadum Poo Ondru picks
-Kodi Inbam for sure.... :musicsmile:
the violin weaves along with keyboard keys peeking in..
love how the electric guitar merges into the waves of the veenai...electronica replies to the flute...
wanted to hear all the rest that others have posted but stuck on this one...if only complaints were always this sweet :D
"ninna choosina udayam kaadidhi" from 'Chinnabbaye'. Not giving the youtube link since it will bring down the whole experience!!! Sujatha is in top form.
Totally agree! beautiful tune. When i heard it the first time, i couldnt really associate with the ilaiyaraaja i had known (till then). I mean, given the new composers emerging during that period, I didnt feel it was ilaiyaraaja. His signature was missing, till the charanams (all through from prelude to pallavi to 1st interlude). Not that they were not good. They were brilliant. Yet they sounded as if the music was composed by a new composer (sounded fresh basically), like Sri (he was doing similar kind of songs in telugu just around that time). May be it is the sound of the song, the prelude (havent heard IR doing such kind of preludes) etc. i didnt see IR till the charanam came. The solo violin which joins in at charanams - thats where Ilaiyaraaja left his mark. Beautiful composition (perhaps the only beautiful song in that album)!Quote:

From Raman Abdullah....
The last song is a stunner -
no one in this world can compose like this man..
<experts clarify> Suddha saveri </experts clarify> beauty Pudhidhaai ketkum puththam pudhu keerthanam - is the best number from this album. LAte 90s - Raja could have simply taken rest after this album - final word on composition and melody...
This came around the same time as Guru (mal) this song could have easily fitted into that album in place of Ponaaram song. Sweet and haunting. No words to praise the master - the synth points in charanam are so tastefully done, one doesnt miss the cello or violin in its place. Good job overall mixing wise too!!!
Jai,
'Pudhidai Ketkum' is based on Madhyamavathi. Wonderful album, 'Raman Abdullah'.
thanks!!Quote:

Lovely songs from the movie "Pinnilavu"..The S.Jankai song was a decent hit,however "Manei madura karimbe" with its funny lyrics and style was a massive hit indeed during those days...The picturisation of this song was pathetic and worth listening to this song without watching the video..

RM,
Nice songs. I love "priyane'. And as you say, 'maane madhura karimbe' has some funny lyrics. Nice mix of English and Malayalam.
Hearing to "yenidu yenidu" from the Kannada movie "Nannavanu". Terrific song and also highlights one important aspect of Raja's music. If you keenly listen to the song you will observe that the pallavi has a certain setting / beat, the charanams starts in a very unexpected beat and two lines later the rhythm again changes as does the tune. In short, in one song you find three very different musical ideas blended together perfectly. This is not unique to this song. In many Raja songs you can see multiple ideas coming together. Each idea on its own can be expanded into a song. So if we count, not just the songs that Raja gave, but the musical ideas inherent in his songs, you can say Raja has done twice more than what he is credited with!!!
Suresh, True.."Nannavanu" and "Prem Kahani" too are indeed class albums and never to be missed as each songs are unique and the stroke of his genius is evident in many of them. "Shrungara Bangara" from Prem Kahani - a wonderful song indeed!

http://www.raaga.com/channels/tamil/movie/T0000909.html
En veettu jannal etti
demonstrates the following..
1. sliding bass - repeating and recurring - extremely catchy and curious
2. Bhavatharini , if she tries well can sound pretty good.
3. Long hindustani flutes mastery by Raaja -
4. The "Synth" backed up by drum kit can be interestingly done and still not sound crude.
5. Apt use of chorus - their harmony is heavenly!!
6. Keys used in the recurring pallavi have their aarohanam and avarohanam that perk up and slide down in a a beutiful pattern.
7. Mu.Mehta needs to write more and needs to write more for Raaja and he is an underrated lyricist in Thamizh film world.
_________________
Yup. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of 'en veetu jannal' is the bass. Remember hearing to it late one night on Sun TV and being amazed by the bass work. Wonderful tune as well.
BTW, there is almost no Raja on Sun Music nowadays. Earlier the 11 pm to midnight slot used to Raja's. Nowadays for some reason they screen only MGR and Sivaji songs during that slot.
Good old days, when i used to be up late nights watching a tamil channel.. and my parents used to be totally surprised at that!Quote:

I celebrate the lyricists and the singers if they add extra pleasure...

\\just a small digg\\
Iam enjoying the album which was composed by "Gangai Amaran" years ago. As the festive season has advanced there is no devotee who has failed to enjoy these soulful melodies soaked in devotion.
One of the greatest hits of GA which is still a bliss for millions of people who go for pilgrimage every year.Resembles IR songs in many ways..I have managed to find a few songs from that album here,but many other good songs are missing.

Vinatha,
Infact Raja songs are better off without the visuals most of the times :D The only reason I like them on TV or Radio is the unpredictability. You never know which the next song is going to be and sometimes you do get very good surprises.

Suresh, you are right :D it happens when I travel to my home town as well where they usually play IR songs...Quote:

Ila Nenja Vaa – what I find very contrasting sounds: the beginning leads you think that it’s going to be a soft melody type...the speedily played modern beats seem like they are placed upon the song not played alongside the voiced part which seems more in sync with the flute which pipes along to the lyrics...kind of like a remix feel....
Que,
Thanks for the picks.
I love IR voice.
Hello Usha :D
cute song sung by IR...I couldn't help but laugh when I first heard itl:
:shoot: Thuppaki Kayiladuthu :shoot:
oh..
thuppaki kaiyileduthu - hahha... jollya padina oru song - Raja.. Rare one.
Flute's notes - Extrarodinary.
unexpected time la varum. Amazing.......
IR and FLute - Sweet always........
THanks for this song Que.........

Querida - IR made one album with entirely hariharan. My least favourite ir album.
I might regret asking but what album is that?Quote:

Querida,
Yes. 'Nilave Mugam Kaatu' was a late discovery for me as well. Need to now listen to 'Manasellam'. Not heard that carefully. Albums like 'Kadhal Kavidhai', 'Karagatakaari', 'Nilave Mugam Kaatu', 'Ponmudipuzhayorathu' I had ignored when they came out. But paraphrase the famous saying, "You can't keep a good song down" :D
Upon a friends recommendation, listening to "manasukulla nayana sadham" from 'Mallu Vetti Minor'.
http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer.asp?sngs='SNGIRR1887'&lang=en
Yes.. it is Kaasi. Hariharan's voice did NOT suit much to that folk album...Quote:

Whatever little support the film and its music enjoys, I find that it is due to the soothing, pleasantness of the songs(according to comments from likers).
I dont know if IR deliberately did this to prioritise box office prospects over the tone of the movie. It was high melodrama anyway - and just as masala movies, the aim of such movies is to appeal to the box office with their melodrama more than anything else. That being the case, IR might have deprioritised maintaining the dark, stark tone that the film's theme cried out for. Contrast with Sethu, where he got as stark and dark as can be with engE sellum pAdhai(banned in my house by my wife for the vibes it brings) - there, the intention was to stay true to Bala's art. That it succeeded in box office also was a pleasant surprise.
What I am trying to say is while Bala's Sethu clearly set out to drive the director's vision of cinema, Kaasi seemed to be Vinayan's attempt to manufacture and box-office-ise melodrama. IMO, IR seems to have understood this dichotomy well, and scored accordingly.
