@V_S

One of my most fav. song :D thanks :)

BTW unga posta 'quote' panna mudiyala ennennamO error solluthu vBullettin

Thanks San_K. This song is very close to my heart.
PS: I tried quoting mine and previewed, it appeared fine to me, not sure, if it is due to tamizh fonts.

V_S, I got it, it was because 5 images restriction of Hub policy

ஒரு கூட்டில் சின்ன கோகிலம் இரண்டு
ஒன்று கூடும் இரு வாலிபம் பிரண்டு

நான் எதிர்பார்த்த ராஜாவின் முத்திரைகள் இதன் இரண்டாவது இடை இசையில் கிடைத்தன . அப்படி ஒரு இசையை அந்த இடத்தில் வழங்கியிருப்பார் அனாயாசமாக. அசாத்தியமான கற்பனை வளம். வேகமான ஓட்டம் குறைந்து பாடலுக்கான தாளக்கட்டோடு சேரும் இடம் சொர்க்கம் . இது போன்ற பாடல்கள் எல்லாம் கண்ணை மூடிக்கொண்டு பாலுக்கு கொடுக்கப் படவேண்டியவை . மனோவிற்கு கிடைத்தது அவரது ஜென்ம பலன் .

சரணத்தில் வரும் "குக்கூ குக்கூ குக்குக்குக்கூ" என்ற இடம் ரொம்பப் பிடிக்கும்.

very, very, very, 'Ennio Morricone' ish!

can anyone identify the film ? thx in advance

sounds like moodupani.. let me check...

EVK ? :rolling eyes:

Angey Yaaru Paaru. We need more youthful compositions like this from Raaja.

Kelviyum Naane and Bathilum Naane is again a well UNknown film (starring Karthik, Aruna). The film may be deserved to be unknown but not their songs. Amazing guitar centric songs!
Endrum Vaana VeLiyil, Aadai Kondu Aadum (similar to Aayiram thaamarai mottukkale) or Ninaithu Ninaithu (P Susheela and that second interlude with Veena, makes a beautiful number) or Raja-BSS's excellent Sollikodu, the songs are dearest to me. Since I like them a lot, I mentioned about this in another forum as well.

Endrum Vaana VeLiyil (my favorite and pick) - Starts with super confident guitar (with piano), "bestest" after Ilaya Nila. When Unni Menon starts humming, again that bass guitar chords, unbelievable!! Pallavi again is backed up by guitar riffs. But the first interlude starts surprisingly with a brisk piano and guitar followed by heavy violins. I don't know why Maestro always saves the best for second interlude. The piano run in second interlude is not we hear very often. Beautiful tune and song, but again it has become a rare gem, rather than popular. :(
In Aadai Kondu Aadum, Maestro has done a beautiful jugalbandi between Mridhangam and Guitar (what a combination!) in second interlude. After this juggle bandi is over, observe the sound of guitar, a very new sound. How he accents flute with guitar at the end of interlude, astonishing!!

The surprise bonus package (in all songs) of orchestration are mridhangam, piano and veena supporting the mighty guitar, not to forget the life line, violins.

Must be for "sustaining interest" till the end.

By the time the thrill of a new pallavi melody & saraNam melody are wearing out (middle pallavi & saraNam 2 are essentially "repeattu" and may turn off some impatient youths) he throws in extra magic to "numb" the listener in bOthai :-)

Obviously, my post above cannot be correct per Raja strategy...the "intoxication / trance" biz is just a personal experience thingy.

For e.g., after the second interlude of 'pon mAlaippozhudhu', I reach a high and won't even know until the song ends and another starts...which with a jolt will bring me down to earth :-)

yup you are correct. it was my mistake...

Very true App :thumbsup:. It is just like, we were listening to the prelude, pallavi, interlude and 1st charanam, and already impressed with the compostion/song, but Raja saying to us, 'don't yet conclude the best is yet to come'.

தபலா இளையராஜா's waltz touch சரணங்கள் of எங்கெங்கு நீ சென்ற போதும் என் நெஞ்சமே உன்னைத் தேடும் ...... guitar strumming , flute / violin வாசிச்சிங் good old 80s இளையராஜா's romance on this rainy , cold weekend, I dig.

அது சிதம்பரம் ஜெயராமன் மாதிரிங்க.
(வண்ணத்தமிழ் பெண்ணொருத்தி என்னெதிரில் வந்தாள், விண்ணோடும் முகிலோடும் விளையாடும் வெண்ணிலவே போன்ற பாடல்கள் பாடியவர், சிவாஜிக்கு இவர் தான் முதல் பின்னணிக்குரல் - கா கா கா / நெஞ்சு பொறுக்குதில்லையே இவையெல்லாம் பராசக்தி பாடல்கள் , முக வுக்கு சொந்தக்காரர்)

திருச்சி லோகநாதன் ஆசையே அலை போலே, அடிக்கிற கை தான் அணைக்கும் பாடியவர், தீபன் சக்ரவர்த்தியோட அப்பா

Oh appadiya! confusion

Thanks for the correction

Is JeMo writing obituary or "shaji-tuary" ?

Sorry, this mudhuku-scratching doesn't smell good :-(

Even a child can understand the ulterior interests of Shaji - a non-entity and wannabe writer - in using the name of an iconic singer whose "foregrounders" had Kamal & Rajini among them. Someone in sick condition whose name can be used to create passion by way of slander such as " neglected when he was down by very big names, such as Ilayaraja".

May be the efforts of Shaji -i.e. ottuNNi tech - didn't click well and now JeMo calls it sour grapes ("எந்த எதிர்பார்ப்பும் இன்றி" etc).

Poor try!

This song immediately comes to my mind when thinking of MV sir. No one can bring this much energy into a song. Has given everything into this song. Infact, every song he has sung. He has left a big void in our tamil film industry and music, by leaving us.

A nice tribute Malaysia Vasudevan by Director SuKa in his own inimitable style.

app_eng,

Read JeMo's post. As you said, it is as much about Shaji as it is about Malaysia Vasudevan.

A forgotten song, which Iam finding after many years. Though sung by KJY in telugu,Iam sure there was a tamil version for this song sung by Raja/Jayachandran? Iam unable to find the movie name......

Mindblowing humming and percussion arrangement

For MV - Paattu Enge from Poovizhi Vaasalile. The way MV softens his voice and reaches higher octaves in the charanams gives me goosebumps :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

V_S - nice find; I've not listened to this album before.
However, Aadai Kondu Aadum does have a deadlier gulty twin in the form of Vela Pala Ledu from the movie Abhilasha (not sure which one was first). SPB+SJ vocals. Need I elaborate any further to compare it with the Tamizh version? (I dont know if its just me, but I feel the guitars are much clearer in the gult version. Or maybe its the scratchy thiraipaadal copy)

KV,

'vela paala' is an amazing song indeed. Excellent tune, orchestration and wonderful energy.
