Shank,
Nice to see you back. Yes, the song drips melody throughout. Infact the prelude violins (synth based) itself setup the mood and the interlude just takes it to a different height.

Suresh, 'thanga thinkal' is a good one. Smooth flowing..! Just that the percussion sounded out of place, or rather karthik raja-ish.
btw I added a link to the video in your post for those who want to listen.
Thanks RR for the video.
skr, maybe Aaru Manikoor (Uravadum Nenjam) was the first one, but it was a dubbed one I suppose. I've heard the song "Oru Naal, ullaasath thiru naal" by KJY and SJ during those days.Quote:

While Kadhal kettathu is nice duet Thullum Ilamai has ilamai with powerful singing by SPB. The lovely Jodi Nathal, soothing Azhagana pookal and Idhazhil Amutham (which has pretty good orchestration) are the highlights of this album.
Just stumbled across my 1st love in 2012 .
Darling I Love You - Aaradhanai(1981)

I cant seem to get over this mallepuvvu(2008-telugu) song - chandamama ravE . The higher level singing effort atleast in the pallavi is assigned to Shreya. IR seems to equally share the load during the charanams, but it seems like only Shreya is doing the higher octave singing :-). I love this song for the catchy tune the mix of high and low level singing. The transition to guitar or piano is very striking. The electronic drum kit and other weird sounds along with the piano and strings backing are good mix of the old/classic and the new. Actually, this whole album is a good effort in this direction. Some might not like the Tippu or Bhava songs. I think a more intricate melody or people with classical tastes might like mallepuvvulo magarandhamaai compared to the chandamama ravE. Also, the recording in this particular song is not very good. But I have to be honest and say what I like :-)
skr, many thanks for sharing this wonder. I haven't listen to this one. Spellbound! Psychedelic rock at its best again from Maestro. Right from 1976 how many are we unearthing still? Who are the singers?.
kiru, mallepoovu is another under-rated soundtrack, but all song are worth the platinum. Listening to the whole soundtrack, thanks for reminding me. Chandamama raave is a stunning composition. IR's rough voice and extremely contrasting Shreya's sweet voice balances the sweetness of the song. Chirugaali, title song and Gaajula are my other favorites.
V_S What a song la ?
Just fallen head and heels over it
The song was posted by Krish.
It was a heavy round the clock working day for me and this song came as the perfect refreshment.
Waiting to get back home and play it loudly :)
This man continues to amaze
Last year it was Vandhaale Allipoo and this year it is Darling I Love you
The singer is one Dr Kalyan .
Have no idea about him , maybe App or someone else may have some details.
kiru,
'Mallepoovu' is a superb album. I keep playing it once in a while. The melody quotient is high throughout. I still remember taping 5 songs from this so that we could listen to the songs in the car for a Kerala trip. It was the time when 'Dhanam' was also released. My wife hates the 'Dhanam' album but she was immediately taken in by 'Mallepoovu', especially 'Chirugaali, Chirugaali'. I personally like all the songs and keep playing the CD without skipping any song. My favorites being 'Chandamama Raave', 'Mallepoovula', 'Chirugali', 'gaajula gala gala' and the Bhava song. The Tipu song is an interesting take on the raga Mohanam, which Raja uses here for a fun song. He again does the same in the Malayalam movie 'Sooriyan'.
Another 'net' incident I remember about this movie is that Violin Vicky and a few others were trying to decipher the raga of 'chirugaali chirugaali'. And also the technique that Raja used. All those guys who were instrumentalists themselves were having trouble getting to any conclusion. At that time Milliblog Karthik wrote his review to say 'chirugali' and 'gaajula' were 'childish melodies', which made me laugh out loud and which upset our rprasad very much :D
