Album of the week

Superb album and great pick, RK :P

Still remember watching the movie, FDNS at trichy, ramba. I dont have to say the reception Rajini got when his name showed up on the title. The surprising factor was ARR getting a huge applause when isai - isaippuyal A.R. Rahman flashed on the screen and the opening song oruvan oruvan is very loud but I could hardly hear anything. People were dancing and doing all kinds of things and once the song ended shouts of once more were heard from almost everyone. An excellent opening song :thumbsup:

Other favorite songs in the order of my preference:

1. vidukathayA -- Very emotional song and hits your heart. Superb acting by thalaivar as well :P

2. kokku saiva kokku -- Innovation at its best. The sounds used in this songs are so awesome that you can't say which instruments he used. Very catchy tune as well.

3. thillAna thillAna -- no need to say more. Was a runaway hit :P but I was not very impressed with the picturization :(

4. kuluvaalilE -- Horrible diction and again superb beats :thumbsup:

The BGM is also worth mentioning here, though not as good as padayappa, it fitted the movie really well 8-)

There is a BGM sequence in Muthu which comes during the fight scenes. It goes something like "oh ooh oh ooh". I really love this piece.

next?

First album of the mighty successful ARR-Shankar combo. 8-)

you read my mind :ty:

Rup swana satha hai was biggest hit in Hindi

Gentleman was super duper hit audio album in Tamil

One of the best ARR albums... His 2nd movie I think (after ROJA)! All songs are top notch... It's after GENTLEMAN that became a huge BO success, that ppl started to realize that a new star is born and it was not just luck (that ROJA album became a sensation), but real talent that's there to stay and rule... And then ARR became a real-sensation and started revolutionizing Tamil movie music... That kinda revolution has not happened after that yet I think!

:clap:

i somehow like.. usulampatti penkutti more than anyother song in this movie.. gud voice and beats pakka folk..

ottakatha kattiko,paakathey paakathey,chikki bukki raile comes next

en veetil thotathil is also very gud :oops: ella paatu nalla irrukum :D

Otakatha Kattiko is my favorite! Especially the starting tunes that will lead to some awesome beats!

Like KB said, I kinda liked all the songs... The first time when Chikku Bukku Rayilae was shown in Oliyum Oliyum, I was hearing comments like, "Ithu enna thamizh paataaa" and all that! :lol:

Gentleman album brings me so many memories. I think i was just 3 when the album released. I remember I first heard en veetu thotathil at a marriage. I really loved the song when i first heard it. Amazing album. My cousin who was 16 or 17 then was recording gentleman songs when i went to his house. While recording cassettes, as u all know, the songs play really fast sounding like chipmunks. I was so frustrated i started screaming so he would play the songs normally. When I was young, I always won using my weapon of mass destruction -- screaming and crying -- and so he stopped the recording and played the songs normally. :lol: A very nice album :D
