raja_fan, I haven't heard KKP yet. But what exactly do u mean by broken lines? Is it a new malady? Wasn'tl IR composing like that , way back 80's itself? Take "poongaatru pudhidhaanadhu" ,"hey oraayiram", "en iniya pon nilave" , "pon malai pozhudhu" etc. But the hollowness was aptly filled with great music , guitar/synth fillings . The charanams used to flow freely after the marvellous interludes .
any idea who is MD for Balu Mahendra's anal kaatru ?
i read that he has started filming this one.

thumburu,
nice examples and question :)
I am a lay man in music technicalities. So I could express only by the words "broken tune".
Yes, in 80's there were songs with some pause. But they had a raga flow in them. Also as you said, the pause were filled with some good piano or guitar stuff etc.
Also they were filled with a feel or force like "poongaatru...Pudhidanadhu" or "Hey..hey..oraayiram" thanks to good rendition by KJY or SPB.
When you sing the parts "pudhidhaanadhu.." or "oraayiram" there is a raga flow..is it not ?
But think about songs like "Nilavai sutri..oru kottai katti". Some how it is very plain like reading the lines out of a paper. This aspect is getting dominant in IR's tunes nowadays that makes the song what I say as "usuppillaamal paaduvadhu pol irukku".
The only promising album from IR is Naan kadavul. Apart from this, I am also expecting something from Uliyin Oosai since it is a historical movie.
hmmm pArkalAm
I loved "nilavai Sutri" song a lot.
The staccato or checquered rendering is an innovation in my opinion and with the right singer and opportunity, I am sure that IR will make it sound more delightful. In nilavai Sutri, he had only he soft synth to support the vocal. One has to bear in mind that with the right orchestration this sing - pause -sing will be catchy
Remember "Hey baby baby" in Kaadhalukku Mariyaadhai? that was cool even with those synths. I would still give him a chance
"poongaatru pudhidhaanadhu" ,"hey oraayiram", "en iniya pon nilave" , "pon malai pozhudhu" - all these songs had one common thing: novelty in terms of tune and orchestration - besides, we remember these songs not for the first two words, but for WHAT follows thereafter! it is in this aspect, IR of late is disappointing
Kangalaum Kavi... - Very very very very very ordinary songs. I am also HC fans just like most of you, but not sure why you are fooling yourself! I myself could predict the songs from music. IR ditching TFM again. Sorry :(
Work is progressing fast on mallu animated film MANIKANDAN.the dubbing part is over and now animation is in full swing.Ayya will record songs for scenes already picturised a-la Hey Raam during march.Whenever phone rings at VIsmaya studios and if its from chennai technicians get excited and its RAAJA SIR RAAJA SIR shouts all over
i think any HC RAja fan would love POTTU MELE song from KKP.Is it possible to find such pulse raising vintage rhythm these days.Personally i find MAALAI NILA very appealing
"Nilavai sutri" is my favourite too despite the pause between words in the pallavi and synth . It has "ok" interludes, engaging charanam that ends with a nice cresendo and the celtic like piece that repeats again and again is an attraction. I have registered my opinion in the same thread in 2006 when "Madhu" got released . Infact for me, it was even better than "ketkavillaya". As madhan puts, its what follows that matters most . I would be happy if KKP songs that have these broken lines sound atleast as good as "Nialavai sutri"
