IR still and will rule TFM and Tamil Classical Music...He just breathes music and hence the output is different from others. He has never bothered about apeacing anyone including the audience, but truly devoted to give what he thinks is the best.
ARR, et al (includes YSR, Bharadwaj, VS, Vijay Antony,etc.) are interested in captivating audience by providing quick gimmicks and cathy numbers. I have been telling this to many of my friends right from day one of ARR (i.e., Roja). ARR had his days and now struggling to regain his touch. He sounds so boring and repetative. The only thing I admire about ARR is his recording techniques. I do not think anyone has matched that yet.

ARR has actually quite good orchestration and instrumentation...his weakness is that he actually tries to find the best tune meaning he keeps on going through the first tune and improving it till it fits the situation...this takes quite alot of time although his output can be exhillarating at times. His strong reliance on the keyboard might also affect his ability to conduct orchestras when it comes to the real world of music.
On the other side, maestro has created songs like poove sempoove, butterfly in just mins. And we need not discuss the way maestro uses the instruments and orchestrates his songs. If not for IR, we would not have known such complex notes in his songs or found out the meaning of orchestration through his songs. His mastery of bass guitar is something that is unrivalled in film music and that too needs no words to describe. I believe IR is the only composer in the world who can create such complex songs at a amazing pace.

I can sing "Polla VInayaen" fully now after some 1000 hearings and it is hard to keep my emotions in check. I start it mildly while taking bath and by the time I reach the pooja Room i am at the peak of my voice . Surprisingly I cannot seem to separate the english verses out of the song. I sing it like Ray Harcourt and am wondering how did I sing that English piece. The idea of embedding English passage is an amazing one. It is like tooty fruties in a vanilla ice cream. The other song which I can sig fully is "Umbarkatkarasae" . I found it the most uncatchy of all the songs initially and now I am singing it fully. TbI is a full success if this is the desired result. So be happy and proud of your efforts.

As i was reading Jaiganes's post i cannot resist my urge to listen to "Pollavinaiyen" lucky me my ipod was with me and Iam typing this as i listen to the song. Whenever i go to the siva temple here @ atlanta , i even without my knowledge sing the verses from Polla Vinaiyen, the divine feeling is indescribable. Thanks to you for taking active participation on this project.

After almost 2 months, went back to TBI and it had the same effect it had on me the very first time i listened to it almost a year ago.
Polla Vinayen is still my pick with Pooveru Konum a very close second. Polla Vinayen is so emotional and gives you so much goose bumps that you have to get a break before listening it again..Especially after the crescendo " Namashivaaya Vazhga.." my world comes to a stop for atleast a few minutes before i can do anything..
On the other hand Pooveru Konum is very addictive and hard to resist the repeat button for this one.
Poovar Senni is the third best for me..I like this lyrics more than the others. Especially " Thaame thamakku sutramum thaame thamakku vithi vagaiyum.." Man what a profound meaning these words have..
Not sure how many youth got the real meaning of this.
The chorus song is good for the most part except that it seems to get diluted at times..But the chorus arrangement ending is fantastic...."... aada aadaa...Paar kadal ..". GREAT.
I am still coming to grips with Umbakartkarase..
The Putril Vaazhum song is great except that IR's remarks at the beginning seem to put me off a little bit.. In my HO, IR could have avoided that..
All in all, Truly GREAT experience and I am very glad that I was a small part in this whole effort.
Thanks to IR , TIS-USA and TM folks .
Cheers
