Please do mention the name of the stores or atleast PM me. I will let Ayngaran know this. Alternatively you can call Ayngaran at 416-266-5566
njv,
please check your PM and reply to me. Thanks.
A suggestion for the TIS marketing team. How about selling it in Italy through Massimo Simonini, the person who produced the Italy concert?

mrangan - "How about selling it in Italy through Massimo Simonini, the person who produced the Italy concert? "
makes perfect sense!
Similarly there might have been contacts in the western music world (like composer John Scott of RPO) who have some knowledge and appreciation for IR's music. They could be channels for introducing this work to the western audience.
Another idea is to sell some copies through squidco.com. I think they would be interested in it since they have been selling the Italy concert CD in the US. May be some customers of squidco might get curious and buy it.
Just my 2 cents.

Yes they will carry TIS. They are waiting for TIS from London. Apparently Father had a deal with Ayngaran to sell in London/Canada.
I am supposed to send a complimentary copy of TIS, HTNI, NBW to ReR, the company which distributes Music Journey across the globe. They are interested in selling them as well, but want to listen to it first. Once they agree, we can ship them in bulk. FYI they mentioned that they sold more than 1000 CDs to retailers, other than Indian retailer!!! so they must be having some (good) connection. The guy who is incharge in USA is in an european tour (and all the folks who work there are musicians! and this guy just love IR), so I will have to wait until he is back in US.
Great news njv. :thumbsup:
Ayngaran has a very wide network around the world. They will also be better suited to combat piracy.
I will contact them and coordinate the Canadian promotions accordingly.
This is Ganani's article on TiO in the latest issue of his magazine Theem Thari Gita!

kannansanderson,
None of the links work.. It says that the website has exceeded the amount of data transfer!!
All popular things will have some negative criticism :) None can escape this.

RR,
Time has come to rename the thread "Comments on Anand's Outlook Article" into "Comments on criticism on TiS" and move all comments (including comments on gnani's) into that thread. :)
Yes.. lete's use this only for talking about the songs and it's quality and not other issues..
I would love to hear from experts on the intricacies of the tracks of TIS .. scales, instruments , chorus etc..
cheers

Forget about he experts!
TbI was not made for experts!
it was conceibved and composed by an expert for the common man!
that's how TbI should be approached.
If you go with your critical lenses and start analyzing it you will find 101 holes and everyone may appear to be legitimate and valid.
But, that was NOT the purpose of this great album.
Scholars already know Thiruvasagam; they need not be introduced to this.
Music experts have already heard many such classics; it is not to impress them that this was composed.
Glimpses of such fine tunings have already been introduced by IIR in his film songs and such experts may find similar tunes in this album to over 100 movies.
But, it is for the common man who hitherto hasn't known Thiruvasagam, its great lyrics, its adaptability to such catchy tunes, its richness to stay fresh even after mixing it with western orchestra, the clarity of each word exponently brought out by IIR with his soulful rendering, the divinity which could be extracted even from western musicians, be it a singer, a chorus or the orchesrta... these are the acheivements of TbI which catches the 'common man' and make him raise his collar in pride to see his mother tongue piece able to bring out the feelings within him on the very first hearing itself.
No one can, however expert he/she may be, deny the awe that surrounds him/ her when they heard it for the first time and only later, much later, that they started to feel those negative pointers that they are able to make out.
it is very interesting to note that all of them can only say the same few things.
Do you think IIR was not aware of this?
being an expert by himself, won't he have felt the same things that others pointed out?
It is that extra feeling, joy, awe, paravasam, that he must have felt overall when he heard the final version, that must have prompted him to send out as it is felling confident that the ordinary man will also fel the same and also would have felt blessed to have been introduced to such music in his/her lifetime.
having said all these, i am not trying to side with IIr but appeal to your senses to get out of your 'expert' feelings and come down to earth and look at this from a common man's view point! that's all i am asking.
Let us take the second song:
Leave alone all the nicest orchestration, pitfalls etc. etc. and try to visualize that song in this fashion as it appeared to me.
Just start the song and close your eyes and try to visualize a river taking its origin drop by drop and as the song progresses, try to follow along with that river's course-- its stagnating moments, gathering momentum moments, flowing moments, smooth sailing moments, little drops thru the rocks, slight increase in its force and finally the big falls [aruvi] ending its journey gleefully towards the great ocean[GOD] --and try to simulate a spiritual as well as natural experience!
You will understand what I mean!
I have said enough1
Thanks.
YIA!!
PL. ORDER THAT EXTRA CD FROM US!![www.tis-usa.com]
Digression:
If any of the admins of Raajangahm are reading this thread, I have a couple of requests.
At the raaja.com site, none of the links in the top level menu work - either from Firefox or from IE.
A very earnest request - I hope you have the discography in a database like MySQL. Is it possible for creating a database dump and posting a link to the dump file somewhere in the raaja.com website? Either as MySQL dump or in some XML or whatever format. This info is very valuable - kudos to the people who created it. I have an ambitious project in mind for organizing my iPod. The discography db could be very very useful. I guess other fans will also be interested in getting access to this information.
Thank you,
Murali Rangan
Admin why did you delete my last posting?
discussion forumla konjam limit thanda kudatha?
OK. From IR avatar, it is wrong to put that type of comments.
hi tis team,
i have couple of friends in swiss and norway, they were asking me about the availablity of the cd. when is it planned to sell them there.
they also told me that since it is not available there, pirate cds are on sale there
Sivakumar99
My recommendation would be to order from TIS-USA.com or DVDUNLIMITEDONLINE.com. Since they dont have TIS over there, may be they can order them in bulk (as much as they can) and ask for either some discount on the CD or some discount on shipping. For upto 10 CDs, it would cost USD 9 to ship anywhere in the world. For upto 3 CDs (TIS CD only cuz, it is slim), it would take USD 5.
They can also volunteer and start selling TIS over htere. Please check if they want to do this.
Thanks
NJV,
Doesn't Ayngaran have a presence in Norway etc?
No they dont. They have in London, Canada, France. They had in Australia, but it seems they closed it down. Not sure.
Dear All,
I am living in Detroit, MI. We are trying to co-ordinate here to play TbI (Track 01 & 02) in "The Hindu Temple" @ Canton soon. This way, we can give devotees a listening experience. I am sure, once they hear, they will throng to buy 'em. Just thought of sharing in the forum so that if you think it is a good idea, you can do in your area as well.
If you have any suggestions of how to do (BEST POSSIBLE WAY) the above, please share.
Also, any volunteers from MI are appreciated. (My PM: mohanjraman@gmail.com)

another news report from a popular magazine...
http://www.chennaionline.com/music/E...gam-nellai.asp
Looks like this is still continuing...encouraging students to mix music into rich Thamizh litt is probably one of the good results of this project...
Aug 18th I will be leaving for chennai because of Aug 19th is Varalakshmi viradham.!!!! Probably I will catch it the next weekend.

As I had expected, "Umbarkatkarase" is making ppl melt. This is one song which exactly qualifies as an earnest appeal of a bhakta to his deity. the music of maestro simply "emotifies" the beautiful lyrics and show us the maniccavasagar in trance before Lord Shiva.
A record sales in America and also in India

India Today, this issue has out with Ilaiyaraja Cover Story including IR's interview.
Fans, read and enjoy.
I was looking for such sales figures from populkar papers (like dinakaran).This would definitely promote the album further.Quote:

Needless to say, everyone in the room wanted a CD:-). My job was made easy.
multinamatheyan - keep up the good work!
btw, have you decided whom you are going to approach for giving TiS in Toronto ?
thanks
