and let me predict what mr. KR's response will be. He will either disappear completely after posting his usual rants above or will come back and post more ad hominem arguments without addressing the main issue.
And he will keep repeating the above routine as he simply cannot ignore my posts how much ever hard he tries :-)

This shows how cultured you are man !
Really I did not know about you earlier. Now I come to know that people like kr are right in their opinion about you.
I still believe that you are not a IR fan, but throwing your BS ( in your own language ) out in this forum. You are a person who has surrendered himself to Sabesh-Murali.."Unnai Saranadaindhen" :)
ananth222,
You hit the bull's eye ! :clap:
Yeah raja fan, you showed your true "culture" with this post
You didnt apologize or anything, not that I give a damn about it.Quote:

Looks like its your habit to attack someone in the "spur of the moment" and then regret about it later. Nice going.
" It is really disgusting to know that any guy with good music taste can compare Sabesh-Murali with another good music director. that too with IR.Either you should be a die hard fan of Deva & brothers or you do not have good music taste. "
No regrets here Vijayr !
I have mentioned only two things.
1. You could be a die hard fan of Deva & brothers.
This can never be a personal attack or nothing bad being a Deva fan. If it is so, I will rather apologise to Deva and his brothers :wink:
2. You do not have good music state.
This is just a feedback. Every day we hear feedbacks, it is up to us to accept it or throw it in the dust bin !
I did not call you bad names or use language like BS like you !
I attacked only Thumburu and my apologies only to him !
With this, I close my conversation with you ! I am atleast happy that there are enough people in this forum who have already experienced your style :)
With this, I close my conversation with you !
I am looking forward to discuss Ajanta here rather than wasting my time with you.
"This is just a feedback. Every day we hear feedbacks, it is up to us to accept it or throw it in the dust bin ! "
you give feedback on just songs, not on someone else's taste. Can I say that you suck or your taste sucks and call it a "feedback"? You first say it is "disgusting" and then you comment on my "taste". If you didnt like my comments on the song you could have just ignored it or commented on why you liked the song, instead of commenting on my taste or who I was a fan of. As if you know everything about me. And I never directly compared Deva or his brothers with IR. I just compared the 2 songs, thats all. Thats another mistake on your part. You assumed that I was comparing the overall abilities of the 2 MDs, when my only point was that for the same situation for the same director a better song was given by Sabesh-Murali. I called your POINTS BS, not you or your taste and even that only after your unprovoked attack.
raaja.com says Ajanta audio in Tamil and Kannada has been released.
So may be they are waiting for Malayalam and Telugu to be completed before releasing all the songs in the net ?
Mayakannadi as an album is alright, but not a dud. Wish IR had used more of non-synth and the lazy-arrangements (KR the culprit??). "Ulagile Azhagi " is my pick and could have been even more richer with more strings.
Vinodayathra is soothful and bliss. "Kaiyetha" rocks !!
Wanted to write more about "Ulagile Azhagi" song:
What I liked:
- Right from the start, it starts to captivate. Is that a guitar (I guess so) in the beginning of the song? As said earlier, its very different sounding guitar (??) coming from IR, later strings take over, reaches a big crescendo kind of thing and there is a silence. Just before Vijay Jesudas begins there is a simple and nice guitar start.
- I liked the tune played by the violins in the first interlude
- The way the violins go back and forth when the charanam starts is amazing. I have observed IR doing this in a couple of songs recently (especially charanams). One example is charanam of "Andha kaandamani"...check out the rhythm pattern when the charanam starts.
Minor irritants:
- the shifting to dafli kind of rhythm pattern in the pallavi and end of charanams. Its more evident when the female singer sings that portion.
This must be the song picturised abroad I guess. Looking forward to the picturisation.
thanks,
Krishnan
ya, ulagilae and konjam konjam are the picks of the album.
On repeated hearings,Ulagilae moves ahead.This i guess is due to the nice arrangements in the song.
On ajantha, there was an article in the bangalore edition of tamil papers,wherein the kannada lyrist (don't remember his name) gave credits to Raja for him(the lyrist) growing popular in kannada,after the movie "namma oore mathada hoovae" :).After that movie, this lyrist regularly writes for all kannada movies that raja does.
This article said,raja has scored different tunes for the different languages,hence amounting to 30 songs in total.

எது எப்படி ஆனாலும்....பஞ்சு அருணாசலம் ரக்ஷப்பெட்டு:-)
After all the fist fights here :-) I decided to check out the unnai saranadainthEn from thavamai thavamirundhu..Is it just me or you guys notice it too ? This song seems to be recycled from one of Rahman's songs (?)
"Ulagilae" sounds more promising when heard in wma format. Mp3 really deceives..
Ajanta song samples (Tamil & Kannada) are in www.raaja.com. But I cant play anything. Can somebody hear and post the comments here? By the way, from the song names, it looks like 9 tunes (dubbed into 4 languages).
followin is only based on the samples
"yengey irundhai" - sounds promising! lots of piano in the prelude n KJY's voice
"yarukku yaar" - prelude is listen-n-forget kind - the sample is too short
"thoorigai" - AMAZING prelude and IT ROCKS!!!
"yaarum" - prelude is vintage IR - WCM and guitar - n this song could be a modern cross between "metti oli" + "naldhorum" (from DEVADHAI)!
the album looks immensely promising!
"vandhadhu yaar" - guys IR back with a BANG! this score gives a feel like a cross between "andalalo" + "yenna sattham"!!
I am also NOT able to play anything from raaja.com..Pathetic :(
The page downloads with error.
irr123,
Enna browser use panreenga ?
Ajantha audio is available on shops? :roll:
Any review pls (inetk kuda innum podala :wink:)
listened all the 10 samples from raaja.com :D
some peppy scores
some typical IR funny scores
some WCM symphony style scores
almost i liked all samples
onnu mattum uruthiya theriyuthu "Raja akkarai eduthu panni irukkirar"
The samples sound promising...
Hi guys,
How did you manage to listen to the samples? The page shows an error and nothing happens when i click on the song link. Is there something that can be done to fix this? Let me know.
The samples definitely sound very promising!Quote:

I did just point the cursor to each of the song icon and it played...no need to click...
Thanks, Listened to them.All the songs sound pretty decent. The second song seems to be the best of the lot. All the others seem to have a nice rythm.
Your positive comments are going to irritate some of our regular IR bashers. So please brace yourselves for negative comments about the album and IR (irrespective of the actual quality of the album)
Ajantha sounds extremely promising...there should not be negative comments...if there are dunt bother too much...:D
am a HCIRF not happy with many of IR's recent albums - but AJANTA's samples have rekindled my lost love for IR!
I moved the mouse over the cursor and still no luck :(
But happy that everybody is praising the songs :D
But still, who will notice the movie and the songs ? No star cast, no big director..This is the nth time Raja is doing this..spending his best on the worst. I am still not able to forget and forgive that "Konji Pesalam" :evil:

Can anybody post it in rapidshare ?I cant download mp3s here .
Thanks Teja. I am able to hear now..
Listened to first 4 songs.
Except one song by Unni Krishnan, I am not able to decide based on the samples..Any site with full songs ?
raaja used two different rhythm instruments for the tune "Yengey Irundhaai isaiye". second "Yengey Irundhaai" is really superb. good violin usage. for me this is pick of the album. :clap:
next "Yaarum thodatha".I like prelude(good string usage :clap: ).
then "vanthathu yaar" I like this prelude verymuch. may be main pallavi starts later.
slogam also Ok.
from these songs I expect, hero of this film is singer. if so whats new in story and song situation???
Soukavi,
The hero is a MD.
IR busy in MFM:
http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/m...cle/30320.html
"vanthathu yaar" bit sounds like "deep in my heart" portion of "polla vilayaen" from TiS!!
Right, the second one is good. Actually, the whole album is full or rich strings arranged in counterpoint style (two or three threads of melody playing the same time). So what are the two different rhythm instrument ? I actually miss the rhythm arrangements of IR's 80s ..for eg. poongkathavE thaazh thiravaai has drums (high hats), congas + mirudhangam.Quote:

Overall, it is good. If the movie becomes a hit, the songs might become popular.
Does Ajanta sound like Julie Ganapthy ?
Ulagile Azhaghi Nee thaan is one of the best songs I have heared in teh recent past. The last one that I appreciated was some of the songs from Mozhi. I have Sivaji and Mayakannadi in the same CD. Ulagile Azhagi is the best in the lot. Great work by Raaja.
