Yet to listen to it. Will do it soon.
Meanwhile, can someone tell me if the percussions are still the same lame synth stuff we come to hear in God's songs of late?

Nope....theres a better difference...some interesting usage of instrumentation used...as rajasaranam said theres some freshness and experimentation in it.
Thank heavens!Quote:

i am hooked to sollum varai kaadhal. I find such a use of a typical slap bass line very unique(i mean for such a soft and melodius song). This is definitely typical Raaja experimentation.
My picks are "sollumvarai kathal" and "malai Nila".
This album looks little fresh for sure.
This album wont disappoint many.
My response being lukewarm,
I also agree that the rythms are different and better and usage of synth has been reduced.
Looking forward to Mayilu in tamil :)
Thanks RS!
nice refereshing album.
Only complaint, wish IR stops singing songs like "maalai nila". The song is sure to be a big hit if someone younger sang it.
A good effort in experimenting with rhythms..but why use an older sad songs orchestrations for maalai nila..ofcourse pottumela pottu is a recycle from chinna kounder. sollumvarai kadhal..never got the lyrics..slap bass..but the younger ones are going to compare this with some Rahman songs (and probably not like this). Overall effort is marred by resemblance to older tunes/phrases.
Re: orchestration - this is a totally soft rock/pop treatment here..could not notice or remember a WCM style strings/orchestration anywhere. (Ofcourse, all synth, but not bad quality)
Why is it that the recycles in Hindi seem to have sophisticated orchestration and not the tamil songs ? The Hindi producers pay more ? IR is really caught up in this materialistic world.
On repeated hearings, I feel that in case the movie is good and is able to achieve even an average show, the songs are sure to pick up.
"Naalai indha neram" though a very normal IR number has a very good charanam.
Even "Maamu machi.." tune wise is good. But lyrics is still in the 80's..I am trying to imagine the same tune with some "modern tanglish" lyrics and think it would have come out better.
Listened to couple of songs, they're fairly Ok, I would say. Need to listen to the rest, and if possible the whole album again..
