IR New Albums - Old responses (5 Aug 2006)

Hi
IR magic is somehow missing in recent albums.

Chidambarathi oru appaswamay/Athu oru kanakalam/Kasturi Maan/Madhu. Frankly not IR standard.

As pointed out by Kiru , first tune should catch our mind.

Umaramesh,

I may like to take an exception.

1. All songs in Athu Oru were good (including Unnaley Thookkam kettu pochhu) and Andha Naal Nyaabagam is a beauty. It is sad that the movie was a wash-out and hence the songs were never popular. May be people's taste have become crappier than it was ever before as Thayir Saadham and Vadu Maanga songs (courtesy perarusu) became chart-busters.. God Save Music Lovers!!!

2. Kasthuri Maan didn't have proper publicity. Songs were not too great...agreed and Madan in his thirai paarvai rightly pointed Raja's mistake.. he should have convinced Lohit das to have just 2-3 songs in the movie as the movie's strength is its screenplay. Still Kekkalayo is a good song. But it should have sung by a quality singer like SPB or a Mano at least.

3. Chidambarathil actually did better than any of those released movies in the list.. 50 day run in theatres and a Jaya TV telecast.. paisa vasool for Thangar. Nalla Vaazhvu and Ponna Porantha are haunting melodies from the Maestro.

Haven't listened to Msdhu yet.

But Ilayaraja fans may actually see even better songs considering his films pipeline:

1. Aadum Koothu (Cheran)
2. Maaya Kannadi (Cheran)
3. Naan Kadavul (Bala, Ajith).. this could be ultimate.. watch out..Crapalbums like tirupati are seeling like hot cakes among Ajit fans.. Ilayaraja's music will get back it's publicity through the so-called "Thala" fans when the album gets released.

Hi Renalut

Thanks for the reply. I think director like cheran and bala can bring best out of IR.

You are right. I heard songs from TIRUPATHI. Most of the songs are like this. Who know this might be super hit when film get released.

IR paid money to score 1993 symphony not by invitation claim two retired professors. They allege that IR cheated everyone by hiding the truth. Read details here:

This is not new.

I wrote to RPO sometime in 1995 (or may be late 1994) inquiring about how Raja was chosen to perform the symphony and when it will be released.

They wrote back saying 'Raja approached us' - They did not mention anything about money transfers.

They also said Raja owns the copyrights of the recordings so it is upto him to release it.

The letter also had some high praise for Raja as a musician and some vague description of the music he recorded at RPO as being western classical with a heavy influence of Indian rythms. I forget the details now.

So these two learned people are too late:-)

As for the claim of there being no music form as Symphonic oratorio, they me be right. I know nothing about this sort of stuff.

However, if they are right, I would propose that history should rightfully record that one Mr. Illayaraja from Tamil Nadu, was the first one to define and use the musical form 'Symphonic-oratorio' :-)

....later

the news about RPO symphony#1 is surprising. I didnt know about that. what else surprise is in store?

I feel is a couple of loosers who are trying to vent out their stomach burns. Let these 2 pay money and get invitation from RPH and compose a "theorotical" symphony. Let's see if the output better that their farting :-)

Hello,

I request all to note the newspaper in which that news has come ! It is the new 1 Re newspaper from the SUN family.

Then decide whether the news value is any better than the crap what we hear everyday in SUN TV or Jaya TV. Also, apparently we all know that IR does not enjoy good relationships with MK and his family nowadays.
