nanRi, V_S!
Yes, rAsA's songs underwent significant change in the "listening experience" during the mid-80's...possibly an upgrade of recording equipment helped as well.

Good quality video but the title given shows the "quality" of the uploader :oops:
App anna
Thanks for uploading some songs, I have never heard before ! :ty:
There're two more SPB songs in kairAsikkAran - thEn sumandha mullai & sighttu adichchukkO. Both don't ring a bell in my mind when listening today. So, can't post about them. I'm surprised that there're IR-SPB songs of 1984 that didn't even leave a trace of them in my memory!
App , Unga facebook link kudunga ..
Will like to add you as a friend :)

"Great melodies with SPB-SJ combo" seems to be a major feature of this year!
After listening to 'thAzhampoovE vAsam veesu' after a considerable gap (during the build of the post on that song), I can't get out of it haunting me often in the bed for a few days now! Such a powerful melody! Add 'nilavonRu kaNden', 'mutham pOthAdhO' and now this 'rOja onRu'...and there are a few more from this year waiting to be posted!
Possibly this was a major year for tablA - or "takeover by tablA" :-)
Though it was always part of IR's arsenal, with the spurt in the number of movies and a very busy schedule, rAsA had to resort to some standardization in orch I think. That is, for maximising productivity - strictly IMO. Or, he possibly found it easier to give relatively "shorter instructions" to assistants and jump on to the next work. (One imaginary conversation, IR to his rhythm section head : "Puru, antha 4/4 la namma standard tablA rhythm vachchu arrange paNNeerunga - indhappAttukku adhu sariyA irukkum / pOdhum. aduththa director 3 maNi nEramA vAsallA irukkAr - sinnappaiyyan, enna sonnAlum kEkkAma kAl kadukka ninnukkittE irukkAr - pAvamA irukku" :lol:)
And this one, what a sweetie! First time when I heard the song from our Thanjai friend's cassette, couldn't believe this was for a Thiyagarajan movie.
What? 'rOjA onRu' for a movie called 'kombEri mookkan'? :shock:
Well, complexities of nature - like a soft rOjAppoo located amidst sharp and strong thorns, 'rOja onRu' in a kombEri mookkan movie starring Mr Mambattiyan. Ofcourse, 'chinnappoNNu sEla' was a soft sweetie too for the same pair but it had a very different nAdan arrangement, rustic rAsA voice so one didn't have any uRuththal. But this one? hellO!
In any case, despite enjoying Mambattiyan in theater, I didn't care to watch Mookkan (which didn't repeat the success of the former IIRC). And it wasn't much before Mr Mambattiyan faded out, as expected.

ராஜா + பாலு + ஜானகி + சரிதா + எழில்மிகு காட்சி அமைப்புக்கள் - இப்பாடலை காலச் சக்கரத்தில் என்றைக்குமே அழிந்தொழியாத வண்ணம் நிலை நிறுத்துகிறது.

Well written App! If you were already haunted by one, it is difficult to come out of it, even if you want to like 'vidaadhu karuppu' :wink: We can write non-stop essay for this song.
venkkiram, that was a superb catch on the connection of second interlude with pottu vaitha interlude. Another beauty in second interlude is the bass guitar. Sounds very heavy and feels like it is not liking the accompanying instruments, so staging a 'no' every time :smile: Another interesting piece in the second interlude is you will never know when the interlude will give the lead to charanam, because when you hear the violins at the end of interlude, it continues on and on and suddenly Janaki takes over, what a beauty!
Maestro composes this tune in such a way there is ample scope for konjals and kenjals. SPB and SJ seizing every opportunity. ThEnil Ooriya Pala!
There are some films where we cannot separate the theatre we watched those films. We would not get that experience even if we watch that film in any other theatre, leave alone all the DVD crap. This is one such film, where I watched it in that mighty Devi complex (Devi theatre) in Mount Road. I remember watching this film as I didn't get ticket for another movie (which I forgot now). So we went in for Komberi Mookan with my Dad. This is the second time into Devi theatre. First time being 'Nooraavathu Naal' during summer 10th grade holidays. I was already amazed by its size and its effects during 'Nooraavathu Naal'. When I got second opportunity, I didn't want to miss it. From that time onwards many classic films we watched there, Mackenna's Gold, Guns of Navarone, Ten Commandments et al. I can never get that experience even in theaters here. That time it was way better than Satyam and all good theaters around. Even a dud film will sound good in that theatre with the sound effects and that big big screen. So, in that way Komberi mookan didn't disappoint me.
