What is Ganashaya brindaranyam / kochu kochu santhoshangal? New malayalam movie/song?

Kiru,
My bad,

thanks for pointing out, the CD combination has AA and KKS songs, somehow got mixed up, I know u wrote raving comments on this song some time back.
A hell lot of my mp3 rips are lacking ID3 tags and proper organization ( I will need a mini vacation to do them I think)
that reminds another query to TFMDfers, this has been discussed in TFM technology related stuff thread a few times, anyone yet tied the bell to the poonaikutti (of starting a wikipedia based updating/editing of TFM songs, preferrably IR songs) that would help individually update the ID3 tags for all the mp3 songs?
Thops showed some interest few years ago,
any chances of revival thops?

NJV,
KKS is old Mallu film by S Anthikaad , released in 2002 I think, a must listen for every IR fan.....I wonder if any MD would even think of coming out with such great percussion usage

I don't know how the movie was, appadi enna Mallu films le IR gets so much inspiration, i don't know? but I can't think of one Tamil song by IR for more than a decade that is even little close to this song

Gotcha. I checked out in few online sites and it sound pretty good. Need proper CD to enjoy the album. will buy this soon. thanks again.

Missed this song in the album. Amazing percussion & fusion.

Two malayalam movies with IRs' music releasing in next few weeks

Mohanlals' and dileeps' movies have IRs' music

"Ganashyama" is set to Kaapi scale. Other noteworthy "kaapi" based songs from IR -
1. Hey paadal onru - Priya,
2. "sugamo ayiram" - thunai iruppaaL meenakshi
3. "kannan vandhadhaale nanmai vandhadhu" - Thambi pondaatti.
4. Thumbi vaa - Olangal.
Though Kaapi is widely perceived to be ARR's fav scale, IR, VS have also exploited this raga to the hilt

Rasathantram (Mohanlal) audio is released and the review is excellent. Didnt hear the songs so far. It seems it has some excellent melodies.

Prabhudas,
I am not into Mp3, as I favor high-fidelity. Why dont you rip with ExactAudioCopy (www.exactaudiocopy.de) and use Apple Lossless compression and see whether you hear an improvement in the sound ?
Guys, I have been disappointed with Mal albums after KKS. Hopefully, something interesting will be there in these two new ones. if there is a real audio version to sample them that would be great.

IR seems to have signed a new telugu film.
It's a period film, with dance/music/devotional background.

Movie is yet to be titled. Recording will begin in May.

I do notice the technicalities you point out, yes, the songs all use classic orchestration techniques refined by IR over time, but he usually throws in a few notes in the background or in between which gives a novel twist/freshness to the song. Seems like it is missing in these songs. Seems more like a Artificial Intelligence software/program generated composition in IR style. (People are building software to finish the unfinished symphonies of classical masters like Beethoven et)
In the category of recent songs driven by synth bass and drums, one of them I like is - oor urangum nErathil from kanna unai thEdugiREn. Notice, the electic guitar notes and sax fills ..(all synth :-( ).
Somebody mentioned thAlAttudhEy vaanam here.. yes.. just a few notes into the opening .. I get goose bumps with that one.. Wow.

The three songs in Madhu are so lazy that you have to be in a lazy state of mind to enjoy them. I picked them up and played them before going to sleep and I was sleeping before i could even realize. Ketkavillaya is a strange number as it is mild with some breathtaking high pitch sections and I tried tp sing it and it took the winds off me, I was wondering how IR can sing that without showing any signs of strain either in rendition or swaram. I agree that off late the punch is not in IR's albums, however I would disagree if the same comment can be same about this one.
