I saw IVAN yesterday and KR has been credited for BGM

MR, the prelude of Apdi paarkuradhenna - is that by KR, if what you say is correct? To me, that was the best few seconds of the Ivan album?

rajdes,
An EMphatic YES - I see KR stamp in this :)
YUp -Its one of my favourities too :)

Ivan - IMO, except the "Mel topuille" [How absurd can the lyrics get!!!] song , all the other songs sound IRish. Earlier, I used to like the 2 classical SudhaRaghunathan songs and the semiolassical "appidi paakardhuna" . But recently "ulagame" and "dhool podu moLaga thoolu" songs have also caught my attention. Esp "Ulagame" is the most underrated of all. It has a nice wcm orch and is as rousing as "manidha manidha" . Those who have missed listening to this gem should give a try :)

thumburu, Agreed, that song is a classic. There are some more similar songs that came out during that period.

1) Oh indha ezhai geetham - Devan
2) Annal Gandhi - Desiya Geetham
3) Udhan rajjiyathil - Aandan Adimai (really under-rated album)

When Ramu, Vamsi and Raja met!
It happened when Ilayaraja was recording songs for Vamsi’s forthcoming film with hero Aryan Rajesh (soon to be launched). Raja and Vamsi were in a recording theatre in Mumbai and suddenly Varma dropped in.

Varma was almost like jumping with joy after listening to the songs. “It reminded me of your old days – Sitara and Anveshana time. Great music, it would rock the Andhra Pradesh,” is what Ramu said to have conveyed his opinion about the music to them. He kept on talking about songs through out the day and raving about Vamsi’s storyline and its title. The hit combination of Vamsi and Ilayaraja is coming back with his film after gap of a decade.

I'm searching for "Madhu" CD in Chennai, and am unable lto find it in any of the shops. They all seem to have only the cassette version. From what I heard from the shops, the movie songs were a big hit, and all CDs are sold out!

BTW, any suggestions on where I can find good IR collection in Chennai?

another young MD (composed songs for latest movie of K Bhagyaraj) admires Raja...

Teja

Thanks for the link

I for one will not be so excited unless I listen to the songs myslef. This Ramgopal guy I doubt has much music sense. He was just lucky in Siva(IR), Rangeela (ARR) and Kshanam Kshanam (Keeravani _ Margathamani).

Anyways, I wish I am wrong
