hulkster - i didnt think it was dark.....as venkirram says, it is sort of esoteric .....அமானுஷ்ய உணர்வை அள்ளித் தெளிக்கிறது...Only Raaja could have delivered this feel with razor sharp accuracy....
so far, காட்டு வழி நல்ல இருக்கு.. மற்ற பாடல்கள் இன்னும் ஒழுங்கா கேக்கணும்
V_S & Venki - Great posts on Kaatu Vazhi & Neeral Udal Kazhuvi. Those songs are going to be very special. I also like the theme music bit with the chinese flute. Overall, a wonderful album with great variety.
We should say a big thanks to all the new directors who are in age range 30, approaching Sir for music, instead of going to the current gen MDs. Without their fascination on raja's music, we would not be having Raja sir i board, for composition.
Venki,
It somehow sounds like 'maarar sudar thazhuvave' instead of 'paara sudar thazhuvave' . Can you check it?
Kaattu vazhi and Neeral eating my soul, mind and my weekend........................can't come out from this...

Next treat enroute
Very well said SKV!. Right from Machchaanai paartheengala, Aatukkutti muttai Ittu to Kaatril unthan geetham, Vedham anuvilum oru naadham to Kalaivaaniye to Poongaatru thirumbuma to Chinna thaayaval to Aruna Kirana deepam to Nee paartha paarvai to Paatu solli to Polla vinayen to Unna vida to Kunnathe to Mudhi Mudhi to Neeraal Udal Kazhuvi to Jagadananda kaaraga to many more to come. They are not just songs, it's a life and soul which is immortal. Added to that, writing background score, private albums, writing lyrics, even popular lyricists would shy away hearing his deep understanding in literature and vocabulary. What a variety, versatility, prolificity, efficiency all in one tiny human brain. I can never imagine such a phenomenon and authority in anyone else, even in the greatest composers of yesteryears. Everyone has limitation to particular area of music, but not our Maestro. No doubt there will be happy tears all over.
