Kalagane Kanulalo (Gaayam-2)
The beauty of this composition lies in its simple tune. And that pause, after which the lines go "naatho saage". Thats unexpected there! and thats where he scores (atleast for me).

Plum, raagas and KV, you guys are amazing! Very interesting view points! Plum and KV sort of summed it up aptly that's its our way of brought up and how deeply we associate a song with the movie and it's setting even when we are just listening most of the time (as raagas observed). So basically and automatically we dissolve and immerse ourselves in that setting rather than just concentrate on his singing. I would say that's the composers magic. I too could not imagine that soundtrack without Kamal.
Plum is always Plum!Quote:

Everyone involved in this masterpiece, from the singers to the last guy who played the violins, would have had a whale of time. This is one of those songs that is too perfect to believe it's conjured up by human effort. Or that it was imagined piece by piece and assembled later. rAtchasar, as SPB says.
Oh Nenjame Ithu Un Raagame - Enakkaaga Kaathiru (Deepan chakravarthi, S Janaki)
Listening after years. Aha! enna oru inimayana paadal. Blown away completely! Soft and silky voice of Deepan and gliding SJ's singing. Prelude and Interludes will steal our heart, especially the second one. Charanam innum arumai. Very neatly picturized on some breath-taking locations, with no unnecessary dance steps (except for few seconds, forgivable). Young, tall and handsome Suman (except his hair could have been trimmed) and pretty Sumalatha doing good job there.

All the songs in this movie are soft and soulful melodies and decently picturized.

Thanks to the uploaders!
I know the discussion is sort of close but since it started with my post, I will anyway add a couple of words :D
raagas: I am with Plum and KV on this. I personally feel that for this movie, Kamal was the very apt choice. As said by Plum and people like Rajasaranam earlier, Raja's fidelity is to the movie. He may miss out on the 'listening experience' aspect by choosing people like Kamal but from the movie's standpoint, it is a perfect choice. I know many people who don't like 'maada vilakke' mainly for Kamal's voice and the sadness of the tune but then, it is 'perfect' for me. It is exactly like how the character would sing. Credit to Kamal for getting the required emotion in that song. It slowly risen in my liking and nowadays I keep singing it often. As Plum mentioned, the other unpolished voices in 'karumaathur kaatukkule' add to the authenticity as well as to my enjoyment.
I feel that you can use less the perfect voices when they are needed and they do tend to add a bit of charm to the song. Let me take this opportunity to replug my blog post about Malaysia Vasudevan about the same aspect, the voice not being perfect but yet conveying a lot: http://sureshs65music.blogspot.com/2...-malaysia.html
V_S - Enakkaaga Kaathiru is one heck of an album. Each song is a stunner to me. Thanks for the youtube links.
Listening to a couple of songs in the spooky/supernatural genre.
--Devathai Ilam Devi from Aayiram Nilave Vaa. The orchestration is beyond words and this one song is enough to showcase IR's innovation in this particular genre. SPB's rendition is so soulful and always pulls the heart strings.
--Enakkul Oruvan Yaar from Enakkul Oruvan. The beats in the prelude set the tone and MV's rendition is awesome bringing in the emotions of the possessed soul.
I am longing for fine quality IR songs like Enakkaga Kaathiru. Atleast can we legally purchase these rare IR songs anywhere?
Great Album...
Fave pick is "Oh Nenjamae"
The repetitive use of the staccato violins from 1:48 to 1:32 is so reminiscent of another song....anyone? :huh:

"Pani Vizhum" bgm sounds very oriental fitting with the video that uses burmese? nepalese? fashion
"Ohh Maaya" is quite different...quite right about the tribal feel...never heard this song before...beautiful interludes...
