Suresh,
Me too enjoying NL songs. But I liked NK songs 1% more than NL :D
The themes of these two movies are completely different. NL songs are to do more with human emotions... Like, yearning for mother's affection... But NK songs are slightly different from this... It is more of spiritual, search of god, self realisation etc etc....
But as the movies release, I'm sure NL bgm will have more value than NK's...
Just cant wait for the release...
Adhu sari..Yateeswaranukku thaathaa mela enna kobamo..see how he ends "KOOTTAME.." :D
I'm gonna pounce on you... :lol: J/k...Quote:

(anyways, I'll listen to it very carefully to check it)
May be its not about mordern fans, its about fans compromising. To decide if this is a good album by yourself, count all his 800+ albus in order and fit Nandala in and you decide yourself. Here I am not comparing IR with any one.Quote:

Follow this approach rather than comparing your taste with a fellow "mordern fan" taste or current MDs.
Namma IR-e andha paatula konjam different-a paada try panni irukkar. Listen to these lines in 2nd charanam. "Kanna engalaiyum ungal kootil sethukollu...." :sigh2: :yessir:Quote:

I get that old Uzhavan ARR feel..
Enna..RS kaanom ?! Enge sir neenga ? come on..come to the first bench :)
K, please listen to Mella oorndhu again and see the variation everyt time the second line is repeated in the pallavi. Also, try to sing the song yourself..you'll find it sounds easy ..but very difficult to sing because the whole song is set to a low key but still has the nuances..Quote:

IR's singing in this album is a lesson in bhaavam for new singers ..
kai veesi smacks of KR's handiwork but he has acquitted himself well..only that his style of following the vocals exactly with a violin or some instruments drives me nuts..
Re: synth. I checked the sounds with another ARR mp3 munbe vaa.. seems to be in the same ball park in terms of sound quality..Maybe in the final mix ARR has 'secret sauce' filter to smooth things out..But I have a suspicion these guys are all using similar equipment by now...atleast the main synth.
Tell me what style is - nEthu oruthar oruthara parthOm song ?Quote:

Whichever I am listening to currently seems to a major work of art and I don't worry about ranking it. My ears, heart and mind tell me that I am enjoying most of the songs of this album. So I just go ahead and enjoy them. When we some day list out Raja's best albums and Nandala figures only in the bottom that's fine. Today, this is giving me joy and that I cannot deny it.
